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

¹Slet-ed tura ula d kunwi ay imeṛkantiyen : meǧdet ɣef ddemma n txeṣṣarin ara d-yeɣlin fell-awen !

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

²Cci-nwen yerka, llebsa-nwen tečča-ț tumeṭ !

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.

³Ddheb d lfeṭṭa-nwen ṣeddeḍen ; d ṣḍiḍ-nsen ara icehden fell-awen, ara kkun-iččen am tmes. Tjemmɛem cci deg ussan-agi ineggura n ddunit !

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) .

⁴Teččam lḥeqq n wid imegren igran-nwen, slet-asen i wigi ițcetkin ɣef lbaṭel-nwen, Sidi Ṛebbi Bab n tezmert yesla-d i leɛyaḍ-nsen.

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

⁵Ddunit-nwen tesɛeddam-ț di lxiṛ, txedmem ayen akk mennan wulawen nwen ; tṛebbam tassemt i wass aneggaru.

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

⁶Tḥekmem, tenɣam iḥeqqiyen yerna ur kkun-xuṣmen ara.

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.

⁷Ay atmaten, ṣebṛet ihi alamma d asm' ara d-yuɣal Ssid-nneɣ. Walit amek i gețṛaǧu ufellaḥ lɣella n wakal-is, iṣebbeṛ alamma yewwet-ed ugeffur n lexṛif ț-țefsut.

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

⁸Ula d kunwi ṣebṛet, sǧehdet iman nwen, axaṭer tuɣalin n Ssid-nneɣ teqṛeb-ed.

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

⁹Ur țemcetkayet ara wway gar-awen iwakken ur kkun-ițḥasab ara Sidi Ṛebbi ; axaṭer Bab n lḥisab, ibedd-ed ɣer tewwurt !

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

¹⁰Ay atmaten-iw, mmektit-ed lenbiya i d-iceggeɛ Sidi Ṛebbi tecbum-d ṣṣbeṛ akk-d liman i sɛan di teswiɛin n leɛtab.

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.

¹¹Ihi amarezg n wid yeṭṭfen ur fcilen ara. Teslam ayen i d-qqaṛen ɣef ṣṣbeṛ n Sidna Yub, yerna twalam daɣen d acu i geqsed Sidi Ṛebbi a s-t-id-yefk, axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi yeččuṛ d leḥnana akk-d ṛṛeḥma.

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”

¹²Ay atmaten-iw, ur țgallat s igenni, ur țgallat s lqaɛa neɣ s wayen nniḍen, meɛna init kan ih neɣ ala, iwakken ur kkun-ițḥasab ara Sidi Ṛebbi.

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

¹³Ma yella yenneɛtab yiwen deg-wen, ad yedɛu ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi. Ma yella win yellan di lfeṛḥ, ad yeḥmed Sidi Ṛebbi s ccnawi.

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,

¹⁴Ma yella yiwen deg-wen yehlek, ad issiwel i imeqqranen n tejmaɛt, ad dɛun ɣer Ṛebbi fell-as, ad dehnen aqeṛṛuy-is s zzit s yisem n Sidi Ṛebbi ;

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.

¹⁵ma yella dɛan ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi s liman, țeklen fell-as, amuḍin-nni ad yețțusellek ; Sidi Ṛebbi a t-yesseḥlu yerna a s-isemmeḥ ddnubat-is.

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.

¹⁶?emqiṛit ddnubat-nwen wway gar-awen, wa ad yedɛu i wa s lxiṛ ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken aț-țeḥlum. Ddeɛwat n win yellan d aḥeqqi zdat Sidi Ṛebbi, sɛant tazmert tameqqrant.

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.

¹⁷Nnbi Ilyas yella d argaz am nukni : meɛna mi gessuter ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi s wul-is iwakken ur d-tɣelli ara lehwa, ur d-teɣli ara tlata iseggasen d sețța waguren

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

¹⁸Yessuter daɣen a d-teɣli lehwa dɣa teɣli-d, lqaɛa tefka-d leṛẓaq-is.

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

¹⁹Ay atmaten-iw, ma yella yiwen deg-wen iɛṛeq-as webrid n Sidi Ṛebbi, yerra-t-id wayeḍ ɣer webrid,

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.

²⁰ilaq aț-țeẓrem belli win ara d-yerren yiwen umednub ɣer webrid, isellek-it-id si lmut yerna aṭas si ddnubat-is ara yețțusemḥen.
