¹ Dégluleen yéen boroom alal yi, jooyleen te naqarlu ndax mbugal, gi leen di xaar.

¹Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

² Seen alal seey na, seen yére yi maxe na,

²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

³ seen wurus ak seen xaalis xomaag na. Te xomaag jooju seede lay doon, su leen di daanlu, ba lakk leen ni safara. Dajale ngeen alal ju ne gàññ, te fekk yéena ngi ci muju jamono.

³Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

⁴ Dégluleen, jooyi xaalis bi ngeen sàcce ci gubkat, yi leen doon liggéeyal, ak yuuxi góobkat yi, dugg nañu ci noppi Yàlla Aji Kàttan ji.

⁴Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

⁵ Ci barele ak bànneex ngeen dunde ci kaw suuf, di yafal seen bopp, fekk bésu rendi baa ngii.

⁵Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

⁶ Daan ngeen ku jub, ba rey ko sax, te bañul.

⁶Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

⁷ Yéen samay bokk, muñleen, ba Boroom bi dellusi ci ndamam. Seetleen ci beykat bi, ni muy xaare njariñ ci meññeefu suuf, tey muñ, céebo ba bët wàcc.

⁷Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

⁸ Yéen itam nag muñleen te dëgëral seen xol, xam ne ñëwu Boroom bi ci ndamam jege na.

⁸Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

⁹ Buleen jàmbatante, samay bokk, ngir ragal Yàlla àtte leen. Àttekat baa ngi ci bunt bi sax!

⁹Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

¹⁰ Bokk yi, defleen yonent, yi wax ci turu Boroom bi, seeni royukaay ci muñ tiis ak ci góor-góorlu.

¹⁰Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

¹¹ Xam ngeen ne ñiy góor-góorlu, ñu barkeel lañu. Dégg ngeen muñ ga Ayóoba amoon, te gis muj gu rafet, ga ko Boroom bi jagleel, ndax Boroom bi kuy ñeewante la te bare yërmande.

¹¹Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

¹² Te li fi raw samay bokk, buleen waat mukk, bu muy ci asamaan mbaa ci suuf mbaa ci leneen lu mu man a doon. Nangeen yem ci: «Waaw,» ak «Déedéet,» ngir bañ cee layoo fa kanam Yàlla.

¹²But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

¹³ Su amee ci yéen ku nekk ci tiis, na ñaan ci Yàlla. Ku nekk ci mbég, na sant Yàlla ciy woy.

¹³Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

¹⁴ Su amee ci yéen ku wopp, na woo njiiti mbooloo mi, ñu ñaanal ko te diw boppam ci turu Boroom bi.

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

¹⁵ Te ñaan gu ànd ak ngëm dina musal ki wopp, ba Boroom bi yékkati ko. Te su ko fekkoon ak i bàkkaar sax, Yàlla dina ko baal.

¹⁵And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

¹⁶ Kon nag waxanteleen seeni bàkkaar tey ñaanalante, ngir ngeen wér. Ñaanu aji jub gu dëggu, dooleem amul kem.

¹⁶Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

¹⁷ Naka noonu Iliyas nit la woon ku bindoo ni nun, waaye bi mu saxee ci ñaan Yàlla, ngir mu bañ a taw, ndox laalul suuf diirub ñetti at ak genn-wàll.

¹⁷Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

¹⁸ Gannaaw ga mu dellu ñaan, asamaan daldi taw, te suuf si saxal meññeef.

¹⁸And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

¹⁹ Samay bokk, su amee ci yéen ku réere dëgg, te am ku ko gindi,

¹⁹Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

²⁰ na xam lii: ku gindi bàkkaarkat ci réeram, musal nga nit ci dee te faral ko bàkkaar yu bare.

²⁰Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
