¹Go to now, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that [are] coming upon [you].

¹[Fanamelohana ny mpanankarena ratsy fanahy] He! ianareo manan-karena, mitomania sy midradradradrà noho ny fahoriana izay efa manjo anareo.

²Your wealth is become rotten, and your garments moth-eaten.

²Ny harenareo efa simba, ary ny fitafianareo efa lanin'ny kalalao.

³Your gold and silver is eaten away, and their canker shall be for a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] last days.

³Ny volamena sy ny volafotsinareo dia efa harafesina; ary ny harafesiny dia ho vavolombelona hiampanga anareo sady handany ny nofonareo tahaka ny afo. Efa namory harena amin'ny andro farany ianareo.

⁴Behold, the wages of your labourers, who have harvested your fields, wrongfully kept back by you, cry, and the cries of those that have reaped are entered into the ears of [the] Lord of sabaoth.

⁴Indro, ny karaman'ny mpiasa nijinja ny taninareo, izay hazoninareo, dia mitaraina; ary ny fitarainan'ny mpijinja dia efa tafiditra amin'ny sofin'ny Tompon'ny maro.

⁵Ye have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye have nourished your hearts [as] in a day of slaughter;

⁵Efa velona tamin'ny fy tetỳ ambonin'ny tany ianareo sady nanaram-po tamin'ny fahafinaretana; efa namahy ny fonareo tamin'ny andro hamonoana ianareo.

⁶ye have condemned, ye have killed the just; he does not resist you.

⁶Efa nanameloka namono ny marina ianareo; fa tsy manohitra anareo izy. [ Na. Ilay marina . . . Izy]

⁷Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.

⁷[Toky ho an'ny Kristiana azom-pahoriana, sy anatra samy hafa] Ary amin'izany dia mahareta tsara, ry rahalahy, mandra-pihavin'ny Tompo. Indro, ny mpiasa tany miandry ny voka-tsoa amin'ny tany ka maharitra amin'izany mandra-pahazony ny ranonorana aloha sy aoriana.

⁸*Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.

⁸Mahareta koa ianareo, mampahereza ny fonareo, fa efa mby akaiky ny fihavian'ny Tompo.

⁹Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.

⁹Aza mifampimonomonona, ry rahalahy, fandrao hohelohina ianareo; Indro, ny Mpitsara efa mitsangana eo anoloan'ny varavarana.

¹⁰Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord.

¹⁰Ry rahalahiko, aoka ny mpaminany izay niteny tamin'ny anaran'ny Tompo no halainareo ho fianarana ny fandeferam-pahoriana sy ny faharetana.

¹¹Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful.

¹¹Indro, ataontsika fa sambatra izay efa naharitra. Efa renareo ny faharetan'i Joba ary efa hitanareo ny faran'ny nataon'ny Tompo taminy, fa miantra indrindra ny Tompo sady be famindram-po.

¹²But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.

¹²Fa mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, ry rahalahiko, aza mianiana, na amin'ny lanitra, na amin'ny tany, na amin'izay fianianana hafa akory aza; fa aoka ny fanaikinareo ho "Eny", ary ny fandànareo ho "Tsia", fandrao hiharan'ny fitsarana ianareo.

¹³Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms.

¹³Misy azom-pahoriana va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hivavaka. Misy faly va? Aoka izy hihira fiderana.

¹⁴Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of [the] Lord;

¹⁴Misy marary va eo aminareo? Aoka izy hampaka ny loholon'ny fiangonana; ary aoka hanosotra diloilo azy amin'ny anaran'ny Tompo ireo sady hivavaka eo aminy; [ Gr. presbytera] [ Gr. eklesia]

¹⁵and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

¹⁵ary ny fivavaky ny finoana dia hamonjy ilay marary, fa ny Tompo hanangana azy; ary raha nanota izy, dia havela ny helony.

¹⁶Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power.

¹⁶Koa mifaneke heloka ianareo, ary mifampivavaha, mba ho sitrana ianareo. Ny fiàsan'ny fivavaky ny marina dia mahery indrindra.

¹⁷Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months;

¹⁷Elia dia olona tahaka antsika ihany, ary izy nahery nivavaka mba tsy hilatsahan'ny ranonorana; dia tsy nilatsaka tamin'ny tany ny ranonorana telo taona sy enim-bolana.

¹⁸and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth.

¹⁸Ary nivavaka indray izy, dia nandatsaka ranonorana ny lanitra, ka nahavokatra ny tany.

¹⁹My brethren, if any one among you err from the truth, and one bring him back,

¹⁹Ry rahalahiko, raha misy eo aminareo miala amin'ny fahamarinana, ary misy anankiray mampibebaka azy,aoka ho fantany fa izay mampibebaka ny mpanota hiala amin'ny lalan'ny fahadisoany dia hamonjy fanahy tsy ho faty sady hanarona heloka be.

²⁰let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.

²⁰aoka ho fantany fa izay mampibebaka ny mpanota hiala amin'ny lalan'ny fahadisoany dia hamonjy fanahy tsy ho faty sady hanarona heloka be.
