James 5

5:1Come now, O rich, weep shrieking over your miseries, the ones coming upon you!

5:2Your riches are rotted, and your garments have become moth-eaten.

5:3Your gold and silver are corroded, and their poison shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. You treasured up in your last days.

5:4Behold, the wage of the workers, of the ones reaping your places; the one being deprived by you cries out; and the yells of the ones harvesting have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.

5:5You indulged upon the earth, and lived extravagantly; you maintained your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

5:6You condemned, you murdered the just; he does not resist against you.

5:7Patiently wait then, brethren, until the arrival of the Lord! Behold, the farmer looks out for the precious fruit of the earth, patiently waiting for it, until whenever it should receive the early and late rain.

5:8You also patiently wait! Establish your hearts! for the arrival of the Lord approaches.

5:9Do not moan against one another, brethren, that you should not be judged! Behold, the judge stands before the doors.

5:10Take for an example the evil suffering, my brethren, and the long-suffering of the prophets, the ones who spoke in the name of the Lord!

5:11Behold, we declare happy the ones enduring. The endurance of Job you have heard, and the end by the Lord you know; that he is very compassionate and pitying.

5:12But before all things, my brethren, do not swear by an oath, neither by the heaven, nor the earth, nor any other oath; but let your yes be, Yes! and the no, No! that you should not fall into hypocrisy.

5:13Does anyone suffer hardships among you? Let him pray! Is anyone cheerful? Let him strum praise!

5:14Is anyone sick among you? Let him call on the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with olive oil in the name of the Lord!

5:15And the vow of the belief will deliver the weary one, and the Lord will raise him. And if he should be committing sins, it shall be forgiven him.

5:16Acknowledge to one another the transgressions, and make a vow for one another, so that you should be healed! Much prevails by the supplication being energized by a just person.

5:17Elijah was a man having the same passions as us, and with prayer he prayed for it not to rain; and it rained not upon the earth for three years and six months.

5:18And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth burst forth its fruit.

5:19Brethren, if any among you should be misled from the truth, and anyone should return him,

5:20know! that the one turning a sinner from the delusion of his way, shall deliver a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
