¹Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

¹Nože teraz vy, boháči! Plačte a kvíľte nad svojimi biedami, ktoré prijdú na vás!

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

²Vaše bohatstvo zhnilo, a vaše rúcha požraly mole;

³Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

³vaše zlato a striebro zhrdzavelo, a ich hrdza bude na svedoctvo proti vám a bude žrať vaše telá jako oheň. Nahromadili ste pokladov na posledné dni.

⁴Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

⁴Hľa, práca robotníkov, ktorí žali vaše polia, zadržaná kričí od vás, a volanie žencov prišlo do uší Pána Zástupov.

⁵Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

⁵Rozkošili ste na zemi a zbujneli ste, vykŕmili ste svoje srdcia ako na deň zabitia.

⁶Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

⁶Odsúdili ste, zavraždili ste spravedlivého, neprotiví sa vám.

⁷Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

⁷A tedy pozhovejte, bratia, až do príchodu Pánovho. Hľa, roľník očakáva vzácny plod zeme a čaká naň trpezlivo, až dostane včasný a pozdný dážď.

⁸Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

⁸Pozhovejte aj vy, upevnite svoje srdcia, lebo sa priblížil príchod Pánov.

⁹Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

⁹Nevzdychajte, bratia, druh proti druhovi, aby ste neboli odsúdení. Hľa, sudca stojí predo dvermi!

¹⁰Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

¹⁰Za príklad, ako znášať zlé a jako zhovievať, vezmite si, moji bratia, prorokov, ktorí hovorili v mene Pánovom.

¹¹Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

¹¹Hľa, blahoslavíme tých, ktorí trpezlivo zniesli. O trpezlivosti Jobovej ste počuli a koniec Pánov ste videli, pretože je Pán veľmi ľútostivý a milosrdný.

¹²But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

¹²A predo všetkým, moji bratia, neprisahajte ani na nebo ani na zem ani nijakej inej prísahy. Ale nech je vaše áno áno a vaše nie nie, aby ste nepadli pod súd.

¹³Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

¹³Trpí niekto medzi vami? Nech sa modlí. Je niekto veselej mysle? Nech spieva žalmy.

¹⁴Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

¹⁴Je niekto nemocný medzi vami? Nech si zavolá starších sboru, a nech sa modlia nad ním pomažúc ho olejom v mene Pánovom.

¹⁵And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

¹⁵A modlitba viery uzdraví chorého, a Pán ho pozdvihne, a jestli urobil hriechy, odpustí sa mu.

¹⁶Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

¹⁶Teda vyznávajte si jeden druhému hriechy a modlite sa druh za druha, aby ste boli uzdravení. Mnoho vládze modlitba spravedlivého pôsobiaca.

¹⁷Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

¹⁷Eliáš bol človek, ktorý trpel podobným ako my, a modlil sa horlivo, žeby nepršalo, a nepršalo na zemi tri roky a šesť mesiacov.

¹⁸And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

¹⁸A zase sa modlil, a nebo dalo dážď, a zem vydala svoju úrodu.

¹⁹Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

¹⁹Moji bratia, keby niekto medzi vami zablúdil od pravdy, a keby ho niekto obrátil,

²⁰Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

²⁰nech vie, že ten, kto obrátil hriešnika od jeho bludnej cesty, zachránil jeho dušu od smrti a prikryje množstvo hriechov.
