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

¹Toi paresa' -ku hi tauna topo'ua'. Motantangi' -mokoi pai' geo', apa' narumpa' -koi mpai' kaparia.

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

²Ka'uaa' -ni moronto-mi. Pohea-ni ntoto' -mi.

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.

³Bulawa pai' salaka' to niloju', ta'igaraa' -mi. Pai' ka'uaa' -ni to ta'igaraa' tetu mpai' jadi' tanda kahala' mpopake' -ni ka'uaa' -ni. Mpoloju' -koi rewa hi dunia', hiaa' dunia' toi neo' hudu-mi! Toe pai' rasesa' mpu'u-koi mpai', hewa to nakoni' apu.

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.

⁴Tauna to mobago hi bonea-ni, uma-ra niwai' gaji'. Epe-mi pontodohaka-ra! Topobago to mepae hi bonea-ni mekakae mperapi' tulungi, pai' pekakae-ra toe na'epe-mi Pue' Alata'ala, Pue' to bohe baraka' -na.

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

⁵Koi' hewa porewua to raruduhi pai' rasumale', apa' hi dunia' toi tuwu' mpomaradika-koi, mpali' kagoea' -ni, tapi' ka'omea-na mpai' bate rahuku' -koi.

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

⁶Koi' mpohuku' pai' mpopatehi tauna to uma masala', to uma-ra bisa mpo'ewa-koi.

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.

⁷Toe-mi ompi', pai' kana tari-ta duu' -na Pue' rata nculii'. Hilo pe' posabara topolia' -e, mpopea-ra duu' -na ria wua' polia' -ra to rasarumaka. Mosabara-ra mpopea uda ka'oti-ra ntuja', duu' -na rata tempo-na mepae.

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

⁸Wae wo'o kita' kana mosabara ompi'. Pakatida nono-ta, apa' neo' rata mpu'u-imi Pue' -ta.

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

⁹Ompi', neo' -ta ngkunuti pai' momesaa-salai', bona neo' -ta rabelahi huku'. Apa' Pue', etu-imi mai hi wobo'! Hi'a-damo mpai' to mpobotuhi omea.

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

¹⁰Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Kiwoi-koi nabi owi to mpokeni Lolita Pue'. Mosabara-ra pai' tari-ra mpotodohaka kaparia. Agina tatuku' posabara-ra.

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.

¹¹Apa' hema-ra-kona to ta'uli' morasi' -e? To morasi' -le, tauna to ntaha hi rala kaparia. Ni'inca moto tutura-na Ayub, kantaha-na hi rala kaparia-na. Pai' ni'inca beiwa Pue' mpogane' -i hi ka'omea-na. Apa' Pue', ma'ahi' lia-i, pai' lompe' nono-na.

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.

¹²Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Ngkai hawe'ea paresa' -ku, toi-mi to meliu mpu'u: Neo' -ta mosumpa, mpokahangai' langi' ba mpokahangai' dunia' ba napa-napa ntani' -na. Ane patuju-ta mpo'uli' io', uli' -mi-hana "Io'." Ane patuju-ta mpo'uli' uma, uli' -mi "Uma," bona neo' -ta rabelahi huku'.

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

¹³Ane ria hi laintongo' -ta to narumpa' kasusaa', agina mosampaya-i. Ane ria to goe', agina morona' -i mpo'une' Alata'ala.

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:

¹⁴Ane ria to peda', agina mpokio' -i pangkeni agama, bona pangkeni toera mposampayai-i pai' mpogelai' -i hante lana hi rala hanga' Pue'.

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.

¹⁵Ane mosampaya-ra hante nono to mepangala', tauna to peda' bate mo'uri' mpai'. Pue' mpaka'uri' -i, pai' ane ria jeko' -na, ra'ampungi-ki.

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.

¹⁶Toe-mi pai' kana himpau tapangaku' sala' -ta pai' momeposampayai, bona mo'uri' -ta. Posampaya tauna to monoa' nono-ra moso' lia.

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.

¹⁷Kiwoi tutura-na nabi Elia owi. Nabi Elia toei, manusia' hewa kita' wo'o-i-wadi-hawo. Mosampaya-i hante nono-na mpu'u bona neo' udaa. Uma mpu'u-pi dungku uda rala-na tolu mpae ono mula.

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

¹⁸Oti toe, mosampaya wo'o-imi, duu' -na langi' mpopana'u-mi uda pai' alaa-na ria-mi wua' polia' -ra.

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

¹⁹Ompi' -ku hawe'ea! Ane ria doo-ta to meleli' ngkai tudui' to makono, pai' ria hadua to mpotete' -i nculii' hi Pue', lompe' kehi-na toe.

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.

²⁰Apa' tauna to mpokeni topojeko' nculii' ngkai kehi-na to sala', mpohore-imi ngkai silaka to duu' kahae-hae-na, pai' jeko' -na to wori' te'ampungi-mi.
