Yakobo 5
1 Mwiinchage leno, mwevakavi, lilaga khusauti iya khwanya olwakhuva isida inchikhwiincha khulwume.
Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
2 Uvukavi wenyo vumangikhe ne mienda gwenyo gelesilwena mang'onyo amavivi.
Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Ulutarama lwenyo ni ndala ma inchenyo inchilebila nu vunangi wainchene vulavoneha khulumwe nukhunanga emivele nu mwoto. Muvekhile ekhebana khenyo musikhu incha mwisho.
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 Lolesyena, amahombo agavafomba mbombo-ava samuvahombile mbubeni wenyo- vilela! Ne khelelo ekhyavala avavabenile khefikhe mumbulokhuto incha mbakha va khepuga.
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 Mutamile inchavunogwe ikherunga nukhwekhovosa mwevene mweyigotile inumbula inchenyo khusikhu inchaa khugeda.
You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
6 Mung'egile mubudile unyayelweli uyusibencha.
You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
7 Leno mugegelanile, lokolo, alava ikhwiincha nkurudeva, inave ondemi igulela ovubeni wa lutalama ukhukhuma nkerunga, vuigulela ukhwumilela kwa mwene, uvutengulelo nu vumalelo wafula vuyitima.
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 Umwe muviinchage vumeleli, mukasye inumbula incenyo, ulwa khuva ukhweincha khwa nkuludeva khufikhe.
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
9 Valokolo mung'ung'uta yumwe khwayumwe, mulolage mulekhe ukhukhegiwa. Lola, ung'egi ikhwema pandwango.
Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
10 Ikhekhwani, lolaga etabu nu wumeleli mwa nyamalago uvovakha inchovile nditawa lwankurudeva.
Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Lola, tukhuvelanga vala avavikhwumlela, “huba.” Mupulikhe ukwiyumili ncha ulwa Ayubu, na mulumanyile ilisage elwa mbaha kwa Ayubu, khunjila yelekhu umbaha ade inchiwe ikisa nulusayo.
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 Khulikho fyoni, valokololwango, msite ukhwedyega, ama khukwanya au enkilunga, ama ukhwedyega khyokhyoni. Tena incha “Wejo” iyenyo yedekhane “Wejo” ne “mwikho” iyenyona yedekhane “Mwikho” mulolage mulagwela pasi pa vukhegi.
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 Khule yuyoni igati indyumwe ipata etabu? Yinogiwa adove. Je, umunu yoyoni ikhovokha? na ikhwemba ulwedayo.
Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Mwe, khule munu igati indyumwe itamu? na avalenge avandwakho nivapelela vadove nu mwene, vape amafuta nditawa lwa mbaha,
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 Nu ludovo ulwarwedekho luyavila utamu, nu mbaha ikhotanga inave iva avombile imbivi, uNguluve ikho syekhela.
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 Lwa khuva imbivi inchenyo yumwe hwa yumwe, nukhudovelanila vemwene nu nino, mpate ukhupona, olwesayo.
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 UEliya ale munu nda masage ndufwe, adovile nu lwumelelo uhuta efula yesite okhutima na sayikhatime nkerunga osekhe ugwa mikha gedatu ne mienchi sita.
Elijah 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 adovile tena, ne kherunga khwadulile ifula pakwanya pakherunga ne kherunga khekhava nuvubeni.
He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
19 Valokololwango, inave yoyoni igati indyufwe iyaga ukhukhuina khuyelweli, inave umunu uyunge khumbuincha,
My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
20 ulumanye yeyoni uvevukho ndongoja uvale ni mbivi ihegando gendo lwa mwene nu mbombo mbivi ikhutanga nafsi ya mwene ukhukhuma khwa vufwe nukhudendela imbivi ine honi.
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.
