Yakobo 5
1 Nzii inoino, unye nimeagole, leli luli la migulya kunsoko alwago nulupembilye kung'wanyu.
Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
2 Ugole wanyu wakanzwa ningala yanyu alumagwa niaminkebele niikanza.
Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Imadini anyu nimpia yanyu yaulya indogoilyo, nuube wakwe ukikenga mung'wanyu nukulimilya imiili anyu onga umoto. Miekeye ugole wangu mumahiku ampelo.
Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
4 Upemi waanyamilimo awaniogola mumigunda anyu akulila! Nikikole kaawa niogola mazao anyu kupikiila muakulwi an'wa Bwana numikui.
Look, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
5 Mikie mukilolya mihe nukiloielya unyenye udu mukiginisa munkolo yanyu kuluhiku lakusinzwa.
You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
6 Mumulamuie nukumubulaga uyu nutai waleke kumukua.
You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
7 Kuite inge igimyeli, muluna sunga ukiza uu Bwana, anyayuyu. Nuielima wilindila maogola akwe nemaza, mumugunda, wilindiila akizewigigimieye kunsoko akwe, sunga imbula ang'wandyo niye na mpelo ikue.
Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
8 Nunyenye migigimielye, itungi inkolo yanyu, kunsoko kiza kung'wa Bwana yahugeela.
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
9 Muluna lekikisusumieli, unyenye kwa nyenye, kunsoko muleke kusemelwa. Goza umulamuli wimikile paukiilo.
Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
10 Kumpani, muluna, mugoze mulwago niigigimiieli nuanyakida dagu nautambue kulina lang'wa Bwana.
Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Goza kuitanga eigigimieli, banu. Migule uigigimieli wang'wa Ayubu hangi nulingile indogoilyo ang'wa Bwana, kung”wa Ayubu kuite u Bwana wizue kioisa nuukende.
Look, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Kukila ehi aluna ane muleke kulapa, ang'wi milunde ang'we pihe ang'wi ilapo ningeza. Inge ite kwe iee anyu itule ee ni aa anyu itule aa itule itee muleke kugwila muulamulwi.
But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.
13 Ukole muntune mung'wanyu nuketeulwangoo? Inoneeulompe, ikolyo muntu wihi eze muhugukunee. Nuwaambi ikulyo.
Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Ukolya ukole wihine mung'waanyu numulwaee? Nuwaitange ianyampala niitekelo alompe kunsoko akwe, amupuguhile imakuta kulina lang'wa Bwana.
Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Nimalompi auhueli akumukomya umulwae, numukulu ukumuusha. Ni hangi angiza witumile mulondu, Itunda ukusamila.
And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 Kuitegwa muungame imilandu anyu unyenye kwa nyenye, nukulompela kila ung'weao numiakwe kunsoko muhume kukomya imalompi namunyatai. Ituga ugeeli ukulu.
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
17 U Eliya aiemuntu nuwamasigo anga nitu, aulompile kungulu kina imbula ileke kukua, ikadela kukua mihe kumatungo amiaka itatu ni myeli sita.
Eliya was a human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
18 Nu Eliya wikalompa hangi, nigulu likahunula imbula migulya ihe nihe ikapumya imaogola.
He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
19 Aluna ane, kang'wi wihi mung'wanso mung'wanyu akumileka itai, inge numuya wamususha.
My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
20 Ingi nualinge kinaitee wihi nuimulingasa umunyamilandu kuhega munzila yakwe niyamagazo ukumiponya inkolo akwe kupuma muushi nukuukunikila udu wa milandu.
let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
