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

¹ Dégluleen yéen boroom alal yi, jooyleen te naqarlu ndax mbugal, gi leen di xaar.

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

² Seen alal seey na, seen yére yi maxe na,

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 seen wurus ak seen xaalis xomaag na. Te xomaag jooju seede lay doon, su leen di daanlu, ba lakk leen ni safara. Dajale ngeen alal ju ne gàññ, te fekk yéena ngi ci muju jamono.

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 Dégluleen, jooyi xaalis bi ngeen sàcce ci gubkat, yi leen doon liggéeyal, ak yuuxi góobkat yi, dugg nañu ci noppi Yàlla Aji Kàttan ji.

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

⁵ Ci barele ak bànneex ngeen dunde ci kaw suuf, di yafal seen bopp, fekk bésu rendi baa ngii.

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

⁶ Daan ngeen ku jub, ba rey ko sax, te bañul.

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 Yéen samay bokk, muñleen, ba Boroom bi dellusi ci ndamam. Seetleen ci beykat bi, ni muy xaare njariñ ci meññeefu suuf, tey muñ, céebo ba bët wàcc.

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

⁸ Yéen itam nag muñleen te dëgëral seen xol, xam ne ñëwu Boroom bi ci ndamam jege na.

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

⁹ Buleen jàmbatante, samay bokk, ngir ragal Yàlla àtte leen. Àttekat baa ngi ci bunt bi sax!

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

¹⁰ Bokk yi, defleen yonent, yi wax ci turu Boroom bi, seeni royukaay ci muñ tiis ak ci góor-góorlu.

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 Xam ngeen ne ñiy góor-góorlu, ñu barkeel lañu. Dégg ngeen muñ ga Ayóoba amoon, te gis muj gu rafet, ga ko Boroom bi jagleel, ndax Boroom bi kuy ñeewante la te bare yërmande.

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 Te li fi raw samay bokk, buleen waat mukk, bu muy ci asamaan mbaa ci suuf mbaa ci leneen lu mu man a doon. Nangeen yem ci: «Waaw,» ak «Déedéet,» ngir bañ cee layoo fa kanam Yàlla.

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

¹³ Su amee ci yéen ku nekk ci tiis, na ñaan ci Yàlla. Ku nekk ci mbég, na sant Yàlla ciy woy.

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 Su amee ci yéen ku wopp, na woo njiiti mbooloo mi, ñu ñaanal ko te diw boppam ci turu Boroom bi.

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 Te ñaan gu ànd ak ngëm dina musal ki wopp, ba Boroom bi yékkati ko. Te su ko fekkoon ak i bàkkaar sax, Yàlla dina ko baal.

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 Kon nag waxanteleen seeni bàkkaar tey ñaanalante, ngir ngeen wér. Ñaanu aji jub gu dëggu, dooleem amul kem.

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 Naka noonu Iliyas nit la woon ku bindoo ni nun, waaye bi mu saxee ci ñaan Yàlla, ngir mu bañ a taw, ndox laalul suuf diirub ñetti at ak genn-wàll.

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

¹⁸ Gannaaw ga mu dellu ñaan, asamaan daldi taw, te suuf si saxal meññeef.

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

¹⁹ Samay bokk, su amee ci yéen ku réere dëgg, te am ku ko gindi,

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 na xam lii: ku gindi bàkkaarkat ci réeram, musal nga nit ci dee te faral ko bàkkaar yu bare.
