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

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

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

²your riches have rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten;

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.

³your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye made treasure in the last days!

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.

⁴lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you — doth cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered;

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.

⁵ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter;

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

⁶ye did condemn — ye did murder the righteous one, he doth not resist you.

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.

⁷Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord; lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain — early and latter;

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

⁸be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh;

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

⁹murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

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

¹⁰An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren, and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of the Lord;

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.

¹¹lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying.

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.

¹²And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath, and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment ye may not fall.

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

¹³Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of good cheer? let him sing psalms;

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]

¹⁴is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil, in the name of the Lord,

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

¹⁵and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.

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

¹⁶Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a working supplication of a righteous man;

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.

¹⁷Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he did pray — not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months;

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

¹⁸and again he did pray, and the heaven did give rain, and the land did bring forth her fruit.

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.

¹⁹Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth, and any one may turn him back,

²⁰aoka 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 who did turn back a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
