Yaƙub 5
1 Yanzu fa sai ku saurara, ku masu arziki, ku yi kuka da ihu, saboda azabar da take zuwa a kanku.
Weep now, ye rich men, and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.
2 Arzikinku ya ruɓa, asu kuma sun cinye tufafinku.
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are 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 cankered, and their rust shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire: ye have been treasuring them up for these 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 hire of the laborers, that reaped your fields, of which they are defrauded by you, crieth out against you: and the complaints of the reapers are come into 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.
Ye have lived upon earth delicately and luxuriously; ye fattened 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 murdered the just one, who resisted you not.
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.
Wait patiently therefore, my brethren, till the coming of the Lord: behold the husbandman expecteth the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it, till he receive the former and the latter rain.
8 Haka ku ma, ku yi haƙuri, ku tsaya da ƙarfi, gama dawowar Ubangiji ya yi kusa.
Be ye also patient, establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is near.
9 ’Yan’uwa, kada ku yi gunaguni da juna, don kada a hukunta ku. Alƙalin yana tsaye a bakin ƙofa!
Repine not, my brethren, against each other, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge is 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.
Take for an example of enduring evil and of long-suffering the prophets, who spake 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 account those happy, that are patient. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
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 above all, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay; that ye may not fall under condemnation.
13 Akwai waninku da yake shan wahala? Ya kamata yă yi addu’a. Akwai wani mai murna? Sai yă rera waƙoƙin yabo.
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray: is any chearful? 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 for the elders of the church; 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 save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they 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 your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
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 with us, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not upon the land for 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 he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth put forth its fruit.
19 ’Yan’uwana, in waninku ya kauce daga gaskiya, wani kuma ya komo da shi,
Brethren, if any among you be seduced from the truth, and one convert him;
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, who turneth back a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
