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.
Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you.
2 Ua popopo ko oukou waiwai, ua pau hoi ko oukou kapa aahu i ka mu.
Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten;
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.
your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these 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.
I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven.
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.
Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives. You have stupefied yourselves with gross feeding; but a day of slaughter has come.
6 Ua hoohewa oukou me ka pepehi aku hoi i ka mea pono; aole oia i pale aku ia oukou.
You have condemned--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.
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.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.
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 you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand.
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.
Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at 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.
In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from 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.
Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him--how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.
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 above all things, my brethren, do not swear, either by Heaven or by the earth, or with any other oath. Let your 'yes' be simply 'yes,' and your 'no' be simply 'no;' that you may not come under condemnation.
13 I ehaeha anei kekahi o oukou? e pule oia; a i hauoli anei kekahi? e himeni aku ia.
Is one of you suffering? Let him pray. Is any one in good spirits? Let him sing a psalm.
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,
Is any one 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 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 will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up to health; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven.
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.
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be cured. The heartfelt supplication of a righteous man exerts a mighty influence.
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.
Elijah was a man with a nature similar to ours, and he earnestly prayed that there might be no rain: and no rain fell on the land 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.
Again he prayed, and the sky gave rain and the land yielded its crops.
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 one of you strays from the truth and some one brings him back,
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 brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save the man's soul from death and throw a veil over a multitude of sins.
