1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
1 Ya araŋ arzakantey, wa maa: wa hẽ ka kaati masiibey kaŋ ga kaa araŋ gaa sabbay se.
2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
2 Araŋ arzakey halaci, araŋ bankaarayey mo, kollo n'i ŋwa.
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.
3 Araŋ wura nd'araŋ nzarfo mo hay. I hayyaŋo mo ga goro seeda araŋ boŋ k'araŋ gaahamey ŋwa danga danji cine. Araŋ n'araŋ arzakey jisi zaari banantey ra.
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.
4 Guna, alhakkey kaŋ araŋ zamba kaŋ araŋ wangu ka no goy-teerey kaŋ n'araŋ farey wi se, i goono ga jinde sambu. Fari wiikoy hẽeno mo furo Rabbi Kundeykoyo hangey ra.
5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
5 Araŋ n'araŋ waate ŋwa ndunnya boŋ, araŋ goro kaani ra, araŋ na harram ŋwa ka naasu wiyaŋ zaaro se.
6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
6 Araŋ na boro adili ciiti ka zeeri k'a wi mo, a mana wangu araŋ se mo.
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.
7 Araŋ ma suuru binde, ay nya-izey, hala Rabbi ma kaa. Guna mate kaŋ cine farko ga nga laabu nafa albarkanta batu. A ga suuru a se hal a ma du hari, sintina da banda waney mo.
8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
8 Araŋ mo, kal araŋ ma suuru. Araŋ m'araŋ biney daahirandi, zama Rabbi kaayaŋo maan.
9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
9 Ay nya-izey, araŋ ma si care jance zama i ma si araŋ ciiti. Guna, Ciitikwa goono ga kay fu meyo gaa.
10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
10 Ay nya-izey, araŋ ma fongu nda annabey* kaŋ salaŋ Rabbi maa ra. Araŋ m'i dondon ka suuru taabi ra danga mate kaŋ cine i te.
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.
11 Guna, iri ga ne borey kaŋ suuru se albarkanteyaŋ. Araŋ maa Ayuba suuro baaro. Araŋ di haŋ kaŋ Rabbi te a se kokor banda mo, za kaŋ Rabbi to da bakaraw da suuji.
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.
12 Amma hay kulu jine, ay nya-izey, araŋ ma si ze. Wa si ze da beene, wala da ganda, wala da zeyaŋ kulu dumi. Amma araŋ «Oho» ma goro Oho, araŋ «Hã'a» ma goro Hã'a mo, zama araŋ ma si kaŋ ciiti ra.
13Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
13 Boro fo go no araŋ game ra kaŋ goono ga taabi, wala? To! A ma te adduwa. Boro fo go no kaŋ bine ga kaan, wala? To! A ma saabuyaŋ baytu te.
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:
14 Boro fo go no araŋ game ra kaŋ jante, wala? To! A ma Almasihu marga arkusey* ce, i ma adduwa te a se ka ji soogu a boŋ Rabbi maa ra.
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.
15 Adduwa din kaŋ i te cimbeeri ra ga jantekomo faaba, Rabbi mo g'a tunandi. D'a na zunubi te mo, Irikoy g'a yaafa a se.
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.
16 Yaadin gaa araŋ m'araŋ zunubey ci care se. Araŋ ma te care se adduwa, zama araŋ ma du baani. Adilante adduwa gonda dabari gumo, a ga to mo.
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.
17 Iliya ya boro no kaŋ gonda takayaŋ sanda iri wano cine. A te adduwa da anniya hari ma si kaŋ, haro mana kaŋ laabo boŋ mo jiiri hinza nda handu iddu.
18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
18 A ye ka te adduwa koyne, beena te hari, laabo mo na nga albarka hay.
19Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
19 Ay nya-izey, d'araŋ ra boro fo kamba cimi gaa, nga no, boro fo n'a bare ka ye cimo do haray,
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.
20 wa woone bay: boro kaŋ ga zunubikooni bare ka ye nga fonda ra kaŋ gaa a kamba, a g'a fundo faaba buuyaŋ gaa ka zunubi boobo daabu a se mo.
