Yaƙub 5
1 Yanzu fa sai ku saurara, ku masu arziki, ku yi kuka da ihu, saboda azabar da take zuwa a kanku.
Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
2 Arzikinku ya ruɓa, asu kuma sun cinye tufafinku.
Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
3 Zinariyarku da azurfarku sun yi tsatsa. Tsatsarsu kuwa za tă zama shaida a kanku, ta kuma ci namar jikinku kamar wuta. Kun ɓoye dukiya a kwanakin ƙarshe.
Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.
4 Ga shi! Zaluncin da kuka yi na hakkin ma’aikatan gonakinku yana ta ƙara. Kukan masu girbi ya kai kunnuwan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
5 Kun yi rayuwar jin daɗi a duniya kuna ci kuna sha na ganin dama. Kun ciyar da kanku kun yi ƙiba don ranar yanka.
You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
6 Kun hukunta kun kuma kashe mutane marasa laifi, waɗanda ba su yi gāba da ku ba.
You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
7 Saboda haka’yan’uwa, sai ku yi haƙuri har dawowar Ubangiji. Ku dubi yadda manomi yakan jira gona ta ba da amfaninta mai kyau, da kuma yadda yake haƙurin jiran ruwan sama na damina da na kaka.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
8 Haka ku ma, ku yi haƙuri, ku tsaya da ƙarfi, gama dawowar Ubangiji ya yi kusa.
You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
9 ’Yan’uwa, kada ku yi gunaguni da juna, don kada a hukunta ku. Alƙalin yana tsaye a bakin ƙofa!
Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
10 ’Yan’uwa, ku ɗauki annabawa da suka yi magana a cikin sunan Ubangiji, a matsayin gurbi na haƙuri a cikin shan wahala.
Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Kamar yadda kuka sani, mukan ce da waɗanda suka jure, masu albarka ne. Kun ji daurewar Ayuba, kuka kuma ga abin da Ubangiji ya yi a ƙarshe. Ubangiji yana cike da tausayi da jinƙai.
See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 ’Yan’uwana, fiye da kome, kada ku yi rantsuwa ko da sama, ko da ƙasa ko da wani abu dabam. Bari “I” naku yă zama “I”. “A’a” naku kuma yă zama “A’a”, don kada a hukunta ku.
Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
13 Akwai waninku da yake shan wahala? Ya kamata yă yi addu’a. Akwai wani mai murna? Sai yă rera waƙoƙin yabo.
Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Akwai waninku da yake ciwo? Ya kamata yă kira dattawan ikkilisiya su yi masa addu’a, su kuma shafa masa mai cikin sunan Ubangiji.
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Addu’ar da aka yi cikin bangaskiya, za tă warkar da marar lafiya, Ubangiji zai tashe shi. In ya yi zunubi kuwa za a gafarta masa.
And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Saboda haka, ku furta wa juna zunubanku, ku yi addu’a saboda juna, domin ku sami warkarwa. Addu’ar mai adalci tana da iko da kuma amfani.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
17 Iliya mutum ne kamar mu. Ya yi addu’a da gaske don kada a yi ruwan sama, ba a kuma yi ruwan sama a ƙasar ba har shekaru uku da rabi.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Ya sāke yin addu’a, sai sammai suka ba da ruwan sama, ƙasa kuma ta ba da amfaninta.
Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
19 ’Yan’uwana, in waninku ya kauce daga gaskiya, wani kuma ya komo da shi,
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
20 sai yă tuna da wannan. Duk wanda ya komo da mai zunubi daga kaucewarsa, zai cece shi daga mutuwa, yă kuma rufe zunubai masu ɗumbun yawa.
consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
