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

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

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

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

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 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!

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.

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;

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

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

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

⁶ye did condemn — ye did murder the righteous one, 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, 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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;

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.

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;

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

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

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

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

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 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.
