Yakobo 5
1 Mhidayi henu, muenga jha mujhele matajiri, mulelayi kwa sauti jha panani kwandabha jha tabu jhajhihida panani pa muenga.
Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.
2 Bhutajiri bhwa muenga bhuharibibhu ni maguanda gha muenga ghadakulibhu ni manu maharibifu.
Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.
3 Dhahabu sya muenga ni hela sya muenga sidulili thamani, ni bhuharibifu bhuake bhwibeta kushuhudila dhidi jha muenga ni kujhangamisya mibhele gha muenga kama muoto. Mukibhekili hazina jha muenga mu magono gha kumwishu.
Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days.
4 Mutangayi, malepu gha bhabhomba mbombo bhala ambabho mubhalepili lepi kwa kubena mu migonda ghinu - bhilela, nni kilelu kya bhala, bhabhebenili nia zao gha muenga kighafikili mb'olokhoto sya Bwana ghwa majeshi.
Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
5 Mutamili kwa anasa pa duniani ni kwifurahisya muenga mwebhene. Mukinenepisi mioyo ghya muenga ku magono gha machinju.
You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.
6 Nin'hukumuili ni kunkoma jhaahe ni haki jhaibhwesya lepi kubhap'enga.
You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.
7 Henu, musinda makayi bhalongo, mpaka ujio bhwa Bwana, kama mkulima ilendela mavuno gha thamani ni kuhoma mu nchi ilendelela kwa bhuvumilivu kwandabha jha muene, mpaka fula sya kuanza ni sela sya kumwishu sikatonyayi.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.
8 Kabhele muenga mujhelayi bhavumilivu. Mukasiajhi mioyo ghoya muenga, kwandabha kuhida kwa muene Bwana akaribili.
You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.
9 Ndongo, musikilombosi jhomu kwa jhomu, kusudi musihidi mukahukumulibhwa. Langayi hakimu ijhema pandiangu.
Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
10 kwa mfano, ndongo mulangayi malombosi ni bhuvumilivu bhwa manabii bhabhanenili mu lihina lya Bwana.
Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Langayi tukabhakuta bhalabhabhisindamala, “heri” Mp'eliki bhuvumilivu bhwa Ayubu na mulimanyili kusudi lya Bwana kwandabha jha Ayubu, ni kwa jinsi jhalakhu Bwana amemili huruma ni rehema.
See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Zaidi jha ghoha, bhalongo bhangu, musolapi, aidha kwa mbingu ama kwa nchi au kwa kiapu kya aina jhenge. Bali hebu “Ena” jha jhomu na jhimaanisiajhi “ena” ni “lepi” jha muenga na jhimaanisiaghi “lepi” ili kwamba musihudi kubinila pasi pa hukumu.
Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
13 Ajhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga ajhe ni malombosi? Lazima as'okayi. Je, munu jhe jhioha ndo n'kolo kuchonjela? Na jhjobhelayi sifa.
Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Je, ajhe jhe jhejhioha miongoni mwa muenga jha ajhe n'tamu? Na abhakutayi bhaseya bha kanisa bhas'okayi panani pa muene bhampakili mafuta mu lihina lya Bwana.
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 Ni maombi gha imani ghibetakumponesya n'tamu ni Bwana ibetakunjinula na kama ibetakujhha abhombili dhambi, K'yara ibetakusn'samehe.
And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Henu mubhungamayi dhambi sya jhomu kwa jhomu, ni kus'omelana khila mmonga ni njinu, ili mubhwesiajhi kuponesibhwa. Maombi gha mwenye haki ghihogola matoleo mabhaha.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.
17 Eliya ajhele munu mwenye hisia kama sya tete, as'omili kwa juhudi kujha fula jhisiotonyi na jhatonyili lepi pa nchi kwa muda ghwa miaka midatu ni miesi sita.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Ni Eliya as'okili kabhele, ni mbingu syajhitisi fula panani pa nchi ni nhi jhapisili mavuno.
Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.
19 Bhalongo bhangu, kama jhejhioha mugati mwa jhomu pa ihoma kuhoma mubhukweli, lakini munu jhongi an'keebhuisi.
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,
20 Hebu na umanyayi kujha jhehioha jhaikandongosya mwenye dhambi kubhoka mu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha bhukonyofu ibetakuponyesya nafsi jha muene kuhoma mu mauti na ibetakugupika bhwingi bhwa dhambi.
consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
