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

¹A'ut anakcuan, ex biom, cherabihak li oc cue chixyebal. Chiyot'ek' êch'ôl ut chexyâbak xban li raylal châlc re sa' êbên.

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

²Lê biomal tâosok'. Mâc'a' chic tâoc cui'. Jo'can ajcui' lê châbil ak' tâc'uxek' xban li xulel.

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.

³Ut tâmo'ônk lê tumin. Mâc'a' chic tâoc cui'. A'an retalil nak lâex tex-osok' ajcui' jo' nak na-oso' li xam. Lâex yôquex chixtambresinquil lê biomal ut inc'a' nequeq'ue retal nak c'ulûnc re roso'jic li cutan.

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) .

⁴Lâex yôquex chixxocbal êtumin ut inc'a' nequeq'ue xtojbaleb li que'k'oloc êriq'uin. Eb a'an yôqueb chi k'okônc ut li nimajcual Dios yô chirilbal xtok'obâl ruheb nak yôqueb chi k'okônc li que'c'anjelac êriq'uin.

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

⁵Arin sa' ruchich'och' cuan nabal lê biomal ut mâc'a' napalto' êre. Junelic sa nequenumsi li cutan. Chanchanex li cuacax ch'olaninbil chi us re tâcamsîk xban nak lê yu'am lâex, tâosok'. Tâcuulak xk'ehil nak târakek' âtin sa' êbên.

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

⁶Lâex quexrakoc âtin sa' xbêneb li tîqueb xch'ôl ut quecamsiheb. Ut eb a'an mâc'a' que'xbânu êre.

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.

⁷Jo'can ut ex hermân, checuyak roybeninquil lix c'ulunic li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Jo' laj c'alom naxcuy roybeninquil jok'e nat'ane' li hab re nak tââuk ut naxcuy ajcui' roybeninquil nak nacuulac xk'ehil li k'oloc re nak tixk'ol ru li racuîmk.

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

⁸Jo'can ajcui' lâex checuyak oybenînc ut mêch'inan êch'ôl. Cacuubresihomak ban êch'ôl xban nak li Kâcua' chi sêb tâchâlk cui'chic.

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

⁹Ex hermân, mêcuech'i êrib chêribil êrib re nak inc'a' târakek' âtin sa' êbên. Li Jesucristo a'an laj rakol âtin ut chi sêb tâc'ulûnk cui'chic.

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

¹⁰Ex hermân, chetzolak êrib riq'uineb li profeta li que'cuyuc chak xc'ulbal li raylal xban xyebal resil li Kâcua'.

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.

¹¹Lâo nakaye nak us xak reheb li neque'cuyuc raylal. Xerabi resil chanru nak laj Job quixcuy xnumsinquil li raylal. Ut nequenau nak mokon li Dios quirosobtesi. Li Kâcua' Dios na-uxtânan ut natok'oban u.

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”

¹²Ex inhermân, cuan chic jun li na'leb tento tênau ut a'an a'in: nak tex-âtinak, mêpatz' xc'aba' li Dios sa' pac'ba âtin, chi moco sa' xc'aba' li choxa, chi moco sa' xc'aba' li ruchich'och', chi moco chepatz' sa' xc'aba' li c'a'ak re ru cuan. Cui têye nak yâl, junes yâl têye, ut nak têye inc'a', junes inc'a' têye re nak inc'a' târakek' âtin sa' êbên xban li Dios.

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

¹³Cui cuan junak sa' êyânk cuan sa' raylal, chitijok chiru li Dios. Ut cui cuan junak sa sa' xch'ôl, chixbicha xlok'al li Dios.

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,

¹⁴Cui cuan junak yaj sa' êyânk, tixtakla xbokbaleb li chêqueb sa' lix pâbâl, re nak te'tijok riq'uin ut te'xq'ue ca'ch'inak li aceite sa' xbên sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

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.

¹⁵Cui te'xpâb nak li Dios tixq'uirtesi li yaj nak te'tijok, li Kâcua' tâq'uirtesînk re ut tixcuaclesi cui'chic. Ut cui cuan xmâc, tâcuyek' tâsachek' ajcui' lix mâc.

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.

¹⁶Chech'olobak bi' lê mâc chêribil êrib ut chextijok chêribil êrib re nak texq'uirtesîk. Li ani tîc xch'ôl natijoc chi anchal xch'ôl ut lix tij na-abîc xban li Dios.

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.

¹⁷Li profeta Elías, a'an yal cuînk jo' lâo. Quitijoc chi anchal xch'ôl ut quixtz'âma chiru li Dios nak inc'a' tixq'ue li hab. Ut inc'a' quixq'ue li hab sa' ruchich'och' chiru li oxib chihab riq'uin cuakib po.

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

¹⁸Ut nak quitijoc cui'chic, quixtz'âma nak tixq'ue li hab. Ut quixq'ue li hab ut li acuîmk qui-el cui'chic sa' ruchich'och'.

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

¹⁹Ex inhermân, mâre cuan junak sa' êyânk tixcanab xpâbanquil lix yâlal, ut mâre junak chic aj pâbanel tâsuk'isînk cui'chic re sa' lix pâbâl.Chenauhak lâex nak li ani tixsuk'isi chak junak li ras rîtz'in sa' xyâlal re nak tixcanab xbânunquil li mâc, a'an tixcol li ras rîtz'in chiru li câmc. Ut sa' xc'aba' li jun a'an, nabal li mâc tâcuyek' tâsachek' xban li Dios.

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.

²⁰Chenauhak lâex nak li ani tixsuk'isi chak junak li ras rîtz'in sa' xyâlal re nak tixcanab xbânunquil li mâc, a'an tixcol li ras rîtz'in chiru li câmc. Ut sa' xc'aba' li jun a'an, nabal li mâc tâcuyek' tâsachek' xban li Dios.
