Yaqobeppe 5
1 Histikko inteno dure asato, ane siiyte. Buro inte bolla gakkana metoza gish yekiite, wu! wu! gi wasiite.
COME now, ye rich men, let your tears run down, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you.
2 Inte haaroy buqqides, inte mayoykka bil7ay/baday/ mides.
Your wealth is corrupted, and your robes are moth-eaten.
3 Inte worqayinne inte biiray shiyides. He shiydaysikka inte bolla marikatesinne inte ashoy tama mala xuugees. Inte wode wurisethas miishshe shiishshidista.
Your gold and silver is cankered with rust; and the rust upon them is a testimony against you, and shall eat into your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasures in the last days.
4 Inte inte wozinan wothite inte kaththi maxishe pe7idaytas istta wollqa waaga inte qanxxontta aggida gish inte bolla wasishe inte achchan deettes. Kaththi maxizayta wassoy wursi danda7iza Goda haythan gakides.
Behold, the wages of the workmen who have mowed down your fields, which is kept back by you from them, crieth out: and the loud moans of the reapers are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
5 Inte biitta bolla ishallonne aloo7etethan deyidista, inte wozina shuka galasas dhiikki handadhathidista.
Ye have gormandized upon the earth, and lived in every luxury: ye have pampered your hearts, as in a day of feasting on the victim slain.
6 Inte intenara eqetontta xiillo asata bolla worido wothidi wodhiidista.
Ye have falsely condemned, ye have murdered the just man; nor doth he resist you.
7 Hessa gish ta ishato Goday ha yaana gakanas danda7ite. Goshshe goyizadey biittay loo7o kathth kaxxana gakanaas wani danda7izakone balgo/asura/ irane ofintha ira izi wostti naagizako ane akekkite.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, in patient expectation for it, till it receives the former and the latter rain.
8 Inteka hessaththo danda7ite. Inte wozina miinthite. Gaasoykka Goda yussa gallas matides.
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9 Ta ishato inte inte garsan zigretopite, inte zigretiko inte bolla piridistana. Piridanadey heko inte penge bolla eqqides.
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest be ye condemned: lo! the judge standeth at the gates.
10 Ta ishato Goda sunththan intes yootida nabeta wayetethinne istta danda7a intes lemuso histti xeellite.
My brethren, take a pattern for suffering affliction, and patience from the prophets, who have spoken to you in the name of the Lord.
11 Danda7an genccida asata nu istta “IstTi anjjetidayta” gi qoodizayssa inte ereista. Iyobey wanii danda7idakonne inte iza gish siyidista. Goday iza wurisethan ay oothidakone inte beyidista. Goday asas keehi michetizadenne marizadekko.
Behold, we esteem those blessed who patiently endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; for the Lord is full of bowels of mercy, and tenderly compassionate.
12 Harapeka ta ishato sallon gidin woykko biitta bolla gidin woykko ay mishanka caqqofite; “Ee” gaanas bessiza miishsha gidikko “Ee” giite; “Akaye” gaanas gidiko “Akaye” giite hessafe hara giiko inte bolla pirdistana.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your no, no; that ye fall not under condemnation.
13 Inte garisan metotiza uray dizee? Diza gidiko izi wosso. Ufa7etizadey dizee? diza gidiko ufayssa yeethi yeexxo.
Is any man among you under afflictions? let him pray. Is any man happy in mind? let him sing psalms.
14 Inte gidon saketiza assi dizee? diiko wossa keeththa ciimata xeyigo. Isttikka Goda sunththan zayte iza bolla tiyidi izas wosseto.
Is any man sick among you? let him send for the presbyters of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 Ammanon wossida wossay hargidade pathana. Godaykka iza denthana. Izi nagara oothidade gidikokka Xoossi iza maarana.
and the prayer of faith shall recover the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Hessa gish intekka inte garisan issay issara inte nagara paxxetite; paxana mala issay issas wossite. Xiillo asa wossay wolliqara dees. Wollqama oothokka ooththees.
Confess your offences one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The energetic prayer of a righteous man is mightily prevalent.
17 Elasay nu malaka asekko. Izi iray bukontta mala minthi wossin biitta bolla hezdzdu laythanne bagga gakanaas iray bukiibeyna.
Elias was a man of like feelings with us, and he prayed fervently that it should not rain; and there fell no rain on the earth during three years and six months.
18 Qasseka zaari wossin iray sallope biitta bolla bukides. Biittayka kaath immides.
And he prayed again, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth shot up its fruit.
19 Ta ishato intefe issadey tumape baletin hara uray iza zaariko hessa wozinan wothiite. Nagarancha izi balletida ogepe iza zaaridadey he uray shempo hayqope ashesinne izaade nagara darozaka kammees.
Brethren, if any man among you should have erred from the truth, and one convert him;
let him know, that he that converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
