Yakobho 5
1 Bhai, nnaino mmanganyanji matajili nngutanje shililo kwa ligongo lya shilaje sha ogoya shipinga kunnjiilanga.
Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
2 Utajili gwenunji ubholile na nngubho yenunji iligwilwe na mang'ong'ota.
Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Shaabhu na ela yenunji ibhishile nkubha, na gwene nkubhago, shigunkong'ondelanje na shiguntaunanje iilu yenunji mbuti moto. Agano mobha ga kumpelo na mmanganyanji launo nnapunjilangape indu.
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 Nnolanje bhandunji bhakamulangaga maengo mmigunda jenunji bhunkanakwaalipanga, ililo ya bhaunanga inapilikanika, numbe yaishile Bhakulungwa a Nnungu.
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 Mobha gowe nshitamangana pa shilambolyo nkupoka na indu ya nong'a, nikwiijimbaya kwiibhika ukoto kwa lyubha lya ingwa.
You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
6 Nshikwaukumulanga na kwaabhulaganga bhandunji bhangali ilebho, na wala bhakakombolanga kupwata na mmanganyanji.
You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
7 Kwa nneyo bhaakulupalila ajangunji, mwiikakatimilanje mpaka pushibhaishe Bhakulungwa. Nnolanje mundu nkulima pa lindilila yalimile itendeshe, anakwikakatimila mpaka pushijiishe ula ja nduluko na janula.
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 Nneyo peyo na nkali mmanganyanji nnapinjikwanga kutama nnikwiikakatimilanga na nnikwiishimilikanga na kwiiluma mitima jenunji, pabha Bhakulungwa bhabhandishile kuika.
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
9 Bhaakulupalila ajangunji nnainginishilane, nnaukumulwanga na a Nnungu. Nnolanje bhaukumula bhali tome na ika.
Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
10 Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, mpingangaga kumumanya namna ja kwiipililila na mboteko, nkumbushilanje shibhaashite tendanga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhalunguyenje kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.
Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Tunabheleketa kuti, mbaya bhene bhaipilililenje bhala pabha bhapatilenje mboka. Mpilikenenje ga kwiipililila kwa a Ayubhu, na nshimanyinji shibhatendelwe na Bhakulungwa a Nnungu kumpelo, pabha bhashikola shiya sha kaje na uguja.
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 Kupunda gowego, bhaakulupalila ajangunji nnalumbilanje kwa a Nnungu eu kwa litaka, wala kwa shindu shina shoshowe. Ikabheje nnjangulanje, “Elo” monaga shindusho sha jangula elo, na “Nng'oope” monaga shindusho sha jangula ng'oope. Penepo nkaukumulwanga na a Nnungu.
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 Bhuli, mundu njenunji mwali nshilaje? Bhai ajuje Nnungu. Bhuli, anaangalala? Bhai ajimbe nyimbo ya lumbilila.
Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
14 Bhuli, mundu munkumbi gwenunji nnwele? Bhai penepo mwaashemanje bhanangulungwa bha likanisha, bhannjujilanje na kumpaka mauta kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa.
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 Kwa nneyo ibhaga kujuga kwabhonji kwa a Nnungu ni kwa ngulupai shikunnamiye nnwele jula, numbe Bhakulungwa shibhannjinule, na monaga akwete ilebho, shibhanneshelele.
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 Bhai nkolangaga ilebho nng'ungamilenanje mwashayenenji na nnjujilananje nkupinga nnamiywanje. Malomboshelo gaka mundu akwete aki gashikola mashili ga kaje numbe ganapwaa kwa kaje.
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 A Eliya pubhaaliji bhandu malinga uwe, gubhaajujile a Nnungu kwa tumbila kuti ula jinanye, gujileshile kunya kwa yaka itatu na miei shita.
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 Gubhaajujile a Nnungu kabhili, ula gujinyele kukoposhela kunnungu, litaka gulimeshiye mitipo jakwe.
He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
19 Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, monaga mundu munkumbi gwenunji aobhiywaga na itendi yangali ya mmbone, na juna annjendelaga nikuntendebhushiya kuitendi ya mmbone kabhili,
My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
20 mmumanyanje kuti jwene anshoshiye njakwe kumpanda gwa obha, shantapule nshiwo jwene mundu aobhile, na yambi yaigwinji shiileshelelwe.
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.
