Yakobo 5
1 Enzaji eshi amwe mwemuli bhatakili, lilaji hwizu ilyapamwanya afwane na malabha gagahwenza hwilimwe.
Come, now, you rich men, weep, howl, on account of your miseries, which are coming upon you.
2 Utakili wenyu unachishe na amenda genyu gasyolilwe ne vikoko bhabhanankanga.
Your riches are putrefied, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Dhahabu ezyenyu ne hela zyenyu zikosile thamani, unankanyi wakwe waioneha hwilimwe na hwanyamile amabele genyu neshi omwoto. Mhwebhesheye embuto yenyu husiku zwa humalishilo.
Your gold and silver are eaten with rust, and the rust of them will be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.
4 Enyaji ensombo zwa bhabhabhombo embombo bhala abhene semubhasombile bhabhakonjele mumagonda genyu- bhalila! Na shililo shabhala bhabhakonjele eviyao vyenyu shifishile mmakutuga Gosi uwa bhanajeshi.
Hark! the hire of the laborers who have reaped your field, which is fraudulently kept back by you, cries; and the cries of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
5 Mkheye enembibhi ezwamu na hwisongwe amwe mwemwe. Mwibolosyezwe amoyo genyu husiku zwa sinzwe.
You have lived luxuriously on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts as in a day of festivity.
6 Mlonjile nu hugoje owelyoli yasawezizwe abhakhane.
You have condemned--you have killed the Just One--he did not resist you.
7 Nantele gimbizwaji, bhaholo, mpaka nayezela o Gosi, neshi obhovi na gola amavuno age thamani afume msi agolela na jimbizwe kwaji ya mwahale, paka evula ezwahwanda na zila ezwa pamalishilo nkazwatonya.
Behold the husbandman, who expects the valuable fruit of the earth, waits patiently for it, till it receive the early and later rain.
8 Nantele namwe mubhe bhasivi; pinyi amoyo genyu, antele awenze hwakwa O Gosi ali papepe.
Be you also patient--strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws nigh.
9 Bhaholo mgaje hwilombulozwe mwemwe hwa mwemwe ili msaha longwe. Enya, olonzi ayemeleye palyango.
Repine not against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the Judge stands before the door.
10 Umfano, oholo, enyelezi malabha na ujivi wa kuwa bhabha yanjile hwi tawa lya Gosi.
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord: for an example of suffering evil, and of patience.
11 Enye, tibhakwizwa bhala ajivi, “heri.” Mwemwozwe ujivi wa Ayubu, na mlimenye lyapanjile Ogosi hwa Ayubu, hwanamna wele Ogosi amemile ehuruma ne rehema.
Behold, we call them happy, who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
12 Antele gonti muvaholo bhane, msahashele alape, wala alapila emwanya ama husi wala, hushilapo shoshonti Eshamwao antele “ena” yenyu ibhanje yelyoli “ena” ye ne “ndadi” yenyu ebhanje yelyoli “ndadi,” mganje agwele pasi eyalongwe.
But, above all things, my brethren, swear not; neither by the heaven, or by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yes, be Yes, and your no, No; that you may not fall under condemnation.
13 Ahweli yeyonti miongoni mwenu hwilimwe ana makabha? Ulazima alabhe antele omuntu yeyonti achangamusha? Nu antele esifa.
Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray: is any one cheerful? let him sing psalms.
14 Antele aweli yayonti mwilimwe yalinobhinu? Na abhakwizwe abhazee abheshimanza bhape abhazehe, abhazehe abheshibhanza bhalabhehwamwahale bhapashe amafuta hwitawa lya Gosi,
Is any one sick, among you? let him send for the seniors of the congregation, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord.
15 nendao eye lyeteho ebhahuponye ubhinu, na Gosi abhahubhusye. Nkashile abhombile embibhi, Ungolobhe abhahusajile.
And the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and so the Lord will raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Eshi fugamili embibhi zwenyu mwemwe hwa mwemwe na mputilane shila muntu no wamwao, ili mpone emputo eja umuntu uwelyoli epapa amatokeyo amagosi.
Confess your faults, one to another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The inwrought prayer of the righteous man avails much.
17 U Eliya alimuntu neshete aputile nebidi aje evula igajetonye na sehatonyele msi humaha gatatu nu mezi sita.
Elias was a man frail and mortal like us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
18 Na o Eliya aputile nantele na emwanya ihitile evula pasi nu esi yafumizwe amavuno.
And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the land brought forth its fruit.
19 Bhaholo bhane nkashile yoyonti miongoni mwenu atega afume mlyoli antele omuntu owenje wawezwa,
Brethren, if any one among you be seduced from the truth, and any one turn him back;
20 omunye aje yoyonti yahulongozwa yalinembibhi huwefwe hwidala ibhibhi abhayiponye enafsi yakwe afume hufwa abhavunje uwinji uwehubibhe.
let him know what he who converts a sinner from the error of his way, shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
