Yaqobeppe 5
1 Histikko inteno dure asato, ane siiyte. Buro inte bolla gakkana metoza gish yekiite, wu! wu! gi wasiite.
Come now! ye wealthy! Weep ye, howling, for your hardships which are coming upon you:
2 Inte haaroy buqqides, inte mayoykka bil7ay/baday/ mides.
Your wealth, hath rotted, and, your garments, have become, 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, have rusted away, and, their rust, shall be, witness against you, and shall eat your flesh, as fire! Ye have laid up treasure in days of extremity: —
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.
Lo, the wage of the workers who have out down your fields—that which hath been kept back, by you, is crying out; and, the outcries of them who reaped, into the ears of the Lord of hosts, have entered:
5 Inte biitta bolla ishallonne aloo7etethan deyidista, inte wozina shuka galasas dhiikki handadhathidista.
Ye have luxuriated upon the land, and run riot, ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter;
6 Inte intenara eqetontta xiillo asata bolla worido wothidi wodhiidista.
Ye sentenced—ye murdered the Righteous one! Is he not arraying himself against 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 Presence of the Lord: —Lo! the husbandman, awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it, until it receive the early and the latter rain:
8 Inteka hessaththo danda7ite. Inte wozina miinthite. Gaasoykka Goda yussa gallas matides.
Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near.
9 Ta ishato inte inte garsan zigretopite, inte zigretiko inte bolla piridistana. Piridanadey heko inte penge bolla eqqides.
Be not sighing, brethren, one against another, lest ye be judged, —Lo! the Judge, before the doors, is standing.
10 Ta ishato Goda sunththan intes yootida nabeta wayetethinne istta danda7a intes lemuso histti xeellite.
An example, take ye, brethren, of distress and patience, —the prophets who have spoken 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.
Lo! we pronounce them happy who have endured; —Of the endurance of Job, ye have heard, and, the end of the Lord, have ye seen, —that, of much tender affection, is the Lord, and full of compassion,
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, before all things, my brethren, do not swear, —either by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your Yea be yea, and your Nay nay, —lest, under judgment, ye fall.
13 Inte garisan metotiza uray dizee? Diza gidiko izi wosso. Ufa7etizadey dizee? diza gidiko ufayssa yeethi yeexxo.
In distress, is any among you? Let him pray; Cheerful, is any? Let him strike the strings;
14 Inte gidon saketiza assi dizee? diiko wossa keeththa ciimata xeyigo. Isttikka Goda sunththan zayte iza bolla tiyidi izas wosseto.
Sick, is any among you? Let him call unto him the elders of the assembly, and let them pray for 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 save the exhausted one, and the Lord will raise him up, and, if he have committed, sins, it 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.
Be openly confessing, therefore, one to another, your sins, and be praying in each other’s behalf, —that ye may be healed. Much availeth, the supplication of a righteous man, when it is energised:
17 Elasay nu malaka asekko. Izi iray bukontta mala minthi wossin biitta bolla hezdzdu laythanne bagga gakanaas iray bukiibeyna.
Elijah, was, a man, affected like us; and he earnestly prayed that there might be no moisture, and there was no moisture on the land, for three years and six months, —
18 Qasseka zaari wossin iray sallope biitta bolla bukides. Biittayka kaath immides.
And, again, he prayed, and, the heaven, gave, rain, and, the land, shot up her 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.
My brethren! If one among you be led to err from the truth, and one turn him back,
Be ye taking note—that, he that turneth back a sinner out of the error of his way—will save his soul out of death, and hide a multitude of sins.
