Jakoba 5
1 He! ianareo manan-karena, mitomania sy midradradradrà noho ny fahoriana izay efa manjo anareo.
Go, now, you rich! Weep, howling over your miseries that are coming on [you];
2 Ny harenareo efa simba, ary ny fitafianareo efa lanin’ ny kalalao.
your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;
3 Ny volamena sy ny volafotsinareo dia efa harafesina; ary ny harafesiny dia ho vavolombelona hiampanga anareo sady handany ny nofonareo tahaka ny afo. Efa namory harena amin’ ny andro farany ianareo.
your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them will be to you for a testimony, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days!
4 Indro, ny karaman’ ny mpiasa nijinja ny taninareo, izay hazoninareo, dia mitaraina; ary ny fitarainan’ ny mpijinja dia efa tafiditra amin’ ny sofin’ ny Tompon’ ny maro.
Behold, the reward of the workmen cries out, of those who in-gathered your fields, which has been fraudulently kept back by you, and the exclamations of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the LORD of Hosts;
5 Efa velona tamin’ ny fy tetỳ ambonin’ ny tany ianareo sady nanaram-po tamin’ ny fahafinaretana; efa namahy ny fonareo tamin’ ny andro hamonoana ianareo.
you lived in luxury on the earth, and were wanton; you nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;
6 Efa nanameloka namono ny marina ianareo; fa tsy manohitra anareo izy.
you condemned—you murdered the righteous; he does not resist you.
7 Ary amin’ izany dia mahareta tsara, ry rahalahy, mandra-pihavin’ ny Tompo. Indro, ny mpiasa tany miandry ny voka-tsoa amin’ ny tany ka maharitra amin’ izany mandra-pahazony ny ranonorana aloha sy aoriana.
Be patient, then, brothers, until the coming of the LORD; behold, the farmer expects the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until he may receive rain—early and latter;
8 Mahareta koa ianareo, mampahereza ny fonareo, fa efa mby akaiky ny fihavian’ ny Tompo.
you also be patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the LORD has drawn near;
9 Aza mifampimonomonona, ry rahalahy, fandrao hohelohina ianareo; Indro, ny Mpitsara efa mitsangana eo anoloan’ ny varavarana.
do not murmur against one another, brothers, that you may not be condemned; behold, the Judge has stood before the door.
10 Ry rahalahiko, aoka ny mpaminany izay niteny tamin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo no halainareo ho fianarana ny fandeferam-pahoriana sy ny faharetana.
Brothers, [as] an example of the suffering of evil and of patience, take the prophets who spoke in the Name of the LORD;
11 Indro, ataontsika fa sambatra izay efa naharitra. Efa renareo ny faharetan’ i Joba ary efa hitanareo ny faran’ ny nataon’ ny Tompo taminy, fa miantra indrindra ny Tompo sady be famindram-po.
behold, we call those who are enduring blessed; you heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the end from the LORD, that the LORD is very compassionate, and pitying.
12 Fa mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, ry rahalahiko, aza mianiana, na amin’ ny lanitra, na amin’ ny tany, na amin’ izay fianianana hafa akory aza; fa aoka ny fanaikinareo ho “Eny”, ary ny fandànareo ho “Tsia”, fandrao hiharan’ ny fitsarana ianareo.
And before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by Heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, but let your “Yes” be yes, and the “No,” no, that you may not fall under judgment.
13 Misy azom-pahoriana va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hivavaka. Misy faly va? Aoka izy hihira fiderana.
Does anyone suffer evil among you? Let him pray; is anyone of good cheer? Let him sing psalms;
14 Misy marary va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hampaka ny loholon’ ny fiangonana; ary aoka hanosotra diloilo azy amin’ ny anaran’ ny Tompo ireo sady hivavaka eo aminy;
is anyone sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the Name of the LORD,
15 ary ny fivavaky ny finoana dia hamonjy ilay marary, fa ny Tompo hanangana azy; ary raha nanota izy, dia havela ny helony.
and the prayer of faith will save the distressed one, and the LORD will raise him up, and if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven to him.
16 Koa mifaneke heloka ianareo, ary mifampivavaha, mba ho sitrana ianareo. Ny fiàsan’ ny fivavaky ny marina dia mahery indrindra.
Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that you may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;
17 Elia dia olona tahaka antsika ihany, ary izy nahery nivavaka mba tsy hilatsahan’ ny ranonorana; dia tsy nilatsaka tamin’ ny tany ny ranonorana telo taona sy enim-bolana.
Elijah was a similar-feeling man as us, and with prayer he prayed—not to rain, and it did not rain on the land three years and six months;
18 Ary nivavaka indray izy, dia nandatsaka ranonorana ny lanitra, ka nahavokatra ny tany.
and again he prayed, and the sky gave rain, and the land brought forth her fruit.
19 Ry rahalahiko, raha misy eo aminareo miala amin’ ny fahamarinana, ary misy anankiray mampibebaka azy,
Brothers, if anyone among you may go astray from the truth, and anyone may turn him back,
20 aoka ho fantany fa izay mampibebaka ny mpanota hiala amin’ ny lalan’ ny fahadisoany dia hamonjy fanahy tsy ho faty sady hanarona heloka be.
let him know that he who turned back a sinner from the straying of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
