¹Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.

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

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

²Vaše bohatstvo zhnilo, a vaše rúcha požraly mole;

³Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in 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 laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have 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 delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

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

⁶Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you.

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

⁷Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it 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; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

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

⁹Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

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

¹⁰Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

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

¹¹Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

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 the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

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 suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.

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

¹⁴Is any among you sick? 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 him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

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

¹⁶Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.

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

¹⁷Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for 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.

¹⁹My brethren, if any among you 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 who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

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