Ιακωβου 5
1 αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι κλαυσατε ολολυζοντες επι ταις ταλαιπωριαις υμων ταις επερχομεναις
Go to now, you rich men! Weep aloud, howl for the miseries which are about to come upon you!
2 ο πλουτος υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν
For your riches lie rotting, and your clothing has become moth-eaten.
3 ο χρυσος υμων και ο αργυρος κατιωται και ο ιος αυτων εις μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τας σαρκας υμων ως πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταις ημεραις
Your gold and silver are rusted. and their rust will be for a testimony against you, and it will eat your flesh. For you have been storing up fire in these last days!
4 ιδου ο μισθος των εργατων των αμησαντων τας χωρας υμων ο {VAR1: αφυστερημενος } {VAR2: απεστερημενος } αφ υμων κραζει και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εις τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ {VAR1: εισεληλυθαν } {VAR2: εισεληλυθασιν }
Look! the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have been keeping back by fraud, are crying aloud! And the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth!
5 ετρυφησατε επι της γης και εσπαταλησατε εθρεψατε τας καρδιας υμων εν ημερα σφαγης
You have lived luxuriously on earth, you have taken your pleasure, you have fattened your hearts for a day of slaughter.
6 κατεδικασατε εφονευσατε τον δικαιον ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν
You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous man unresisting!
7 μακροθυμησατε ουν αδελφοι εως της παρουσιας του κυριου ιδου ο γεωργος εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον της γης μακροθυμων επ αυτω εως λαβη προιμον και οψιμον
Be patient, then, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer who waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it gets the early and the latter rains.
8 μακροθυμησατε και υμεις στηριξατε τας καρδιας υμων οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν
So you also must be patient. Stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand!
9 μη στεναζετε αδελφοι κατ αλληλων ινα μη κριθητε ιδου ο κριτης προ των θυρων εστηκεν
Do not make complaints against each other, brothers, lest you yourselves be condemned. Behold the Judge is standing before the very door!
10 υποδειγμα λαβετε αδελφοι της κακοπαθιας και της μακροθυμιας τους προφητας οι ελαλησαν εν τω ονοματι κυριου
Take, my brothers, for an example the suffering and the patience of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 ιδου μακαριζομεν τους υπομειναντας την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε και το τελος κυριου ειδετε οτι πολυσπλαγχνος εστιν ο κυριος και οικτιρμων
Remember we count those that were stedfast happy. You have heard of the stedfastness of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord with him, seen how the Lord is full of tenderness.
12 προ παντων δε αδελφοι μου μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι και το ου ου ινα μη υπο κρισιν πεσητε
Again, above all things, my brothers, swear not at all, neither by the heavens, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. Let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no," so you will not fall under condemnation.
13 κακοπαθει τις εν υμιν προσευχεσθω ευθυμει τις ψαλλετω
Is any one of you in trouble? Let him pray.
14 ασθενει τις εν υμιν προσκαλεσασθω τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντες {VAR2: [αυτον] } ελαιω εν τω ονοματι {VAR1: [του κυριου] } {VAR2: του κυριου }
Is any in good spirits? Let him sing unto his harp. Is any one of you ill? Let him send for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
15 και η ευχη της πιστεως σωσει τον καμνοντα και εγερει αυτον ο κυριος καν αμαρτιας η πεποιηκως αφεθησεται αυτω
and the prayer of faith will restore the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.
16 εξομολογεισθε ουν αλληλοις τας αμαρτιας και {VAR1: προσευχεσθε } {VAR2: ευχεσθε } υπερ αλληλων οπως ιαθητε πολυ ισχυει δεησις δικαιου ενεργουμενη
So confess your sins one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. For the fervent prayer of a righteous man is mighty in its working.
17 ηλιας ανθρωπος ην ομοιοπαθης ημιν και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι και ουκ εβρεξεν επι της γης ενιαυτους τρεις και μηνας εξ
Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
18 και παλιν προσηυξατο και ο ουρανος υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτης
Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 αδελφοι μου εαν τις εν υμιν πλανηθη απο της αληθειας και επιστρεψη τις αυτον
My brothers, if any one of you strays from the truth, and some one brings him back,
20 {VAR1: γινωσκετε } {VAR2: γινωσκετω } οτι ο επιστρεψας αμαρτωλον εκ πλανης οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην αυτου εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων
let him know that he who brings a sinner back from the error of his ways, saves his soul from death, and hides a multitude of sins.
