Yakobo 5
1 Mwiinchage leno, mwevakavi, lilaga khusauti iya khwanya olwakhuva isida inchikhwiincha khulwume.
do come now you who [are] rich, do weep wailing over the miseries upon you that [are] coming.
2 Uvukavi wenyo vumangikhe ne mienda gwenyo gelesilwena mang'onyo amavivi.
The riches of You have rotted and the garments of you moth-eaten have become;
3 Ulutarama lwenyo ni ndala ma inchenyo inchilebila nu vunangi wainchene vulavoneha khulumwe nukhunanga emivele nu mwoto. Muvekhile ekhebana khenyo musikhu incha mwisho.
The gold of you and the silver have corroded and the rust of them for a testimony against you will be and it will eat the flesh of you like fire; You have treasured up in [the] last days.
4 Lolesyena, amahombo agavafomba mbombo-ava samuvahombile mbubeni wenyo- vilela! Ne khelelo ekhyavala avavabenile khefikhe mumbulokhuto incha mbakha va khepuga.
Behold the wage of the workmen who having harvested the fields of you which (kept back *NK(o)*) by you cries out and the cries of those having harvested into the ears of [the] Lord of Hosts have entered.
5 Mutamile inchavunogwe ikherunga nukhwekhovosa mwevene mweyigotile inumbula inchenyo khusikhu inchaa khugeda.
You lived in luxury upon the earth and lived in self-indulgence, You have fattened the hearts of you (as *K*) in [the] day of slaughter.
6 Mung'egile mubudile unyayelweli uyusibencha.
You have condemned [and] have put to death the righteous; not does he 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.
do be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth being patient for (it *NK(o)*) until (when *k*) it may receive (rain *k*) [the] early and latter [rains];
8 Umwe muviinchage vumeleli, mukasye inumbula incenyo, ulwa khuva ukhweincha khwa nkuludeva khufikhe.
do be patient also you yourselves, do strengthen the hearts of you, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
9 Valokolo mung'ung'uta yumwe khwayumwe, mulolage mulekhe ukhukhegiwa. Lola, ung'egi ikhwema pandwango.
Not do grumble brothers against one another so that not (you may be judged; *N(K)O*) Behold the Judge before the doors has been stood.
10 Ikhekhwani, lolaga etabu nu wumeleli mwa nyamalago uvovakha inchovile nditawa lwankurudeva.
[As] an example do take brothers (of mine *K*) of suffering evils and of patience the prophets who spoke (in *no*) 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.
Behold we count blessed those (having persevered; *N(k)O*) The perseverance of Job you have heard of and the outcome from [the] Lord (you have seen, *NK(o)*) that full of compassion is the Lord and [is] merciful.
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.
Before all things however, brothers of mine, not do swear, neither [swear by] heaven nor [swear by] the earth nor [swear by] other any oath; should be however of you the Yes [be] yes and the No [be] no, so that not (under *N(k)O*) (judgment *NK(O)*) you may fall.
13 Khule yuyoni igati indyumwe ipata etabu? Yinogiwa adove. Je, umunu yoyoni ikhovokha? na ikhwemba ulwedayo.
Is suffering hardships anyone among you? he should pray; Is cheerful anyone? he should sing praises.
14 Mwe, khule munu igati indyumwe itamu? na avalenge avandwakho nivapelela vadove nu mwene, vape amafuta nditawa lwa mbaha,
Is sick anyone among you? he should call near the elders of the church and they should pray over him having anointed 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] ailing and will raise up him the Lord; and if and if sins he shall be [one] having committed, it will be forgiven to him.
16 Lwa khuva imbivi inchenyo yumwe hwa yumwe, nukhudovelanila vemwene nu nino, mpate ukhupona, olwesayo.
do confess (therefore *NO*) to one another (the sins *N(k)O*) and (do pray *NK(o)*) for one another, so that you may be healed; Much prevails [the] prayer of a righteous [man] being made 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 a man was of like nature to us and with fervent prayer he prayed [for it] not to rain; and not it did rain upon the earth years three and months six;
18 Nu Eliya adovile tena, ne kherunga khwadulile ifula pakwanya pakherunga ne kherunga khekhava nuvubeni.
And again he prayed and the heaven rain gave and the earth produced the fruit of it.
19 Valokololwango, inave yoyoni igati indyufwe iyaga ukhukhuina khuyelweli, inave umunu uyunge khumbuincha,
Brothers (of Mine, *NO*) if anyone among you shall wander from the truth and shall bring back someone him,
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.
(he should know *NK(O)*) that the [one] having brought back a sinner from [the] error of the way of him will save [the] soul (of him *no*) from death and will cover over a multitude of sins.
