Iakobo 5
1 E HELE oukou, e ka poe waiwai, e uwe oukou me ka aoa aku no na ehaeha e kau mai ana maluna o oukou.
O rich men, howl and weep for the miseries which are coming upon you.
2 Ua popopo ko oukou waiwai, ua pau hoi ko oukou kapa aahu i ka mu.
Your riches are corrupt and stink, and your vestments are eaten of the moth,
3 Ua aiia e ka popo ko oukou gula, a me ko oukou kala; he hoike ka popo o ia mau mea no oukou, a e ai aku i ko oukou io me he ahi la. Ua hoiliili oukou no na la mahope.
and your gold and your silver rusteth, and the rust of them is for a witness against you, and is to eat your flesh. You have gathered fire for you for the last days!
4 Aia hoi, o ka uku o ka poe hana nana i hoiliili ai ma ka oukou mau mahinaai i paa hewa ia oukou, ke kahea aku nei ia; a o ke kahea ana o ka poe hoiliili, komo ae la ia iloko o na pepeiao o ka Haku Sabaota.
Lo, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your lands, which you have refused, clamoureth, and the cry of the harvests to the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth hath ascended.
5 Ua noho lealea oukou ma ka honua me ke kuulala loa: ua kupalu oukou i ko oukou naau no ka la e make ai.
For you have lived daintily on the earth, and have been wanton, and have nourished your bodies, as for the day of slaughter.
6 Ua hoohewa oukou me ka pepehi aku hoi i ka mea pono; aole oia i pale aku ia oukou.
You have condemned and have killed the just, and he hath not resisted you.
7 I nui ke aho, e na hoahanau, a hiki mai ka Haku. Eia hoi, ke kakali nei ka mahiai i ka hua ohaha o ka honua, e hoomanawanui ana ma ia mea a hiki mai ke kuaua mua a me ke kuaua hope.
BUT you, my brethren, prolong your spirit until the coming of the Lord; as the husbandman who expecteth the precious fruits of his lands, and prolongeth his spirit for them, until he receive the rain the early and the latter;
8 E ahonui no hoi oukou, e hooikaika i ko oukou naau; no ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka hiki ana mai o ka Haku.
so also you, prolong your spirit, and your hearts confirm; for the coming of our Lord draweth nigh.
9 E na hoahanau, mai ohumu aku kekahi i kekahi, o hoohewaia mai oukou. Eia hoi, ke ku mai nei ka lunakanawai ma ka puka.
Groan not one against another, my brethren, that you be not judged; for, behold, the Judge standeth before the door.
10 E na hoahanau o'u, e hoomanao oukou i ka poe kaula i olelo mai ai ma ka inoa o ka Haku, ia lakou no ka hoomaewaewaia, a me ke ahonui.
The example of the prophets take to you, my brethren, to prolong your spirits in your afflictions, them who have spoken in the name of the Lord.
11 Aia hoi, ke kapa nei kakou i ka poe hoomanawanui, he pomaikai. Ua lohe oukou i ka hoomanawanui ana o Ioba, a ua ike oukou i ka ka Haku hope; ua lokomaikai nui ka Haku me ke aloha mai.
For, behold, we give blessedness to them who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Iob, and the end which the Lord wrought for him you have seen; because that merciful is the Lord and compassionate.
12 He oiaio hoi, e na hoahanau o'u, mai hoohiki ino iki, aole i ka lani, aole i ka honua, aole hoi ma na hoohiki e ae: aka, e hoolilo i ko oukou ae i ae io, a me ko oukou hoole, i ole io; o haule oukou i ka hoohewaia mai.
But before every thing, my brethren, swear not; by heaven nor by earth, nor with any other oath; but let your word be Yes, yes, and No, no, that you be not bound under condemnation.
13 I ehaeha anei kekahi o oukou? e pule oia; a i hauoli anei kekahi? e himeni aku ia.
And if any of you be in affliction, let him pray; and if he rejoice, let him sing;
14 Ina he mai ko kekahi o oukou, e kii aku oia i ka poe lunakahiko o ka ekalesia; a e pule lakou maluna ona, me ka hamo ana ia ia i ka aila ma ka inoa o ka Haku,
and if he be sick, let him call for the presbyters of the church, and they will pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord.
15 A o ka pule o ka mauaoio, e hoola no ia i ka mea mai, a na ka Haku e hoala mai ia ia; a ina i hana hewa oia, e kalaia mai ia.
And the prayer of faith shall make whole him who was sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 E hai aku i ko oukou mau hewa kekahi i kekahi, a e pule hoi kekahi no kekahi, i pohala ai oukou. O ka pule ikaika a ke kanaka pono e lanakila nui ia.
But confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. For great is the power of that prayer which the righteous prayeth.
17 He kanaka no o Elia, ua like kona ano me ko kakou, a pule ikaika aku ia, i ua ole mai; aole loa i ua mai ma ka honua i na makahiki ekolu a me na malama keu eono.
Elia also was a man of suffering, as we; and he prayed that the rain should not fall upon the earth, and it fell not (for) three years and six months.
18 A pule hou aku ia, a haawi mai no ka lani i ka ua, a hooulu mai ka honua i kona hua.
And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.
19 E na hoahanau, ina e hele hewa kekahi o oukou, mai ka oiaio ae, a e hoohuli mai kekahi ia ia;
my brethren, if any of you shall err from the way of truth, and one shall convert him from his error,
20 E ike pono oia, o ka mea e hoohuli mai ana i ka mea hewa, mai kona hele hewa ana mai, nana no i hoopakele ae ka uhane i ka make, a nana hoi i hooki i ka hewa he nui loa.
let him know, that he who turneth a sinner from the error of his way, saveth his soul from death, and hideth the multitude of his sins.
