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

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

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

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

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.

³Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

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.

⁴Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies Greek: Sabaoth (for Hebrew: Tze’va’ot) .

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.

⁵You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

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

⁶You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.

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.

⁷Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

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

⁸You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

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.

⁹Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

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

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

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.

¹¹Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

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'.

¹²But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes,” and your “no,” “no”; so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy. TR reads “under judgment” instead of “into hypocrisy”

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

¹³Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.

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

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

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.

¹⁵and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

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

¹⁶Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

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.

¹⁷Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.

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

¹⁸He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.

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.

¹⁹Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

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.

²⁰let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
