Yaƙub 5
1 Yanzu fa sai ku saurara, ku masu arziki, ku yi kuka da ihu, saboda azabar da take zuwa a kanku.
Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].
2 Arzikinku ya ruɓa, asu kuma sun cinye tufafinku.
Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.
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 is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up 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.
Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.
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.
Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;
6 Kun hukunta kun kuma kashe mutane marasa laifi, waɗanda ba su yi gāba da ku ba.
ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does 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.
Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.
8 Haka ku ma, ku yi haƙuri, ku tsaya da ƙarfi, gama dawowar Ubangiji ya yi kusa.
Ye also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
9 ’Yan’uwa, kada ku yi gunaguni da juna, don kada a hukunta ku. Alƙalin yana tsaye a bakin ƙofa!
Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before 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.
Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken 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.
Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.
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.
But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do 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.
Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.
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 sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing 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 of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
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.
Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power.
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.
Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;
18 Ya sāke yin addu’a, sai sammai suka ba da ruwan sama, ƙasa kuma ta ba da amfaninta.
and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.
19 ’Yan’uwana, in waninku ya kauce daga gaskiya, wani kuma ya komo da shi,
My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one 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.
let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.
