1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you.
1Long angraengnawk, vaihi angzo oh loe, nangcae nuiah kaom hankoi patangkhanghaih to hanghaih hoiah qah o haih ah.
2Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.
2Nangcae angraenghaih loe amro boeh, nangcae ih kahni doeh karaa mah caak boih boeh.
3Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days.
3Sui hoi sum kanglungnawk doeh aek mah caak boih boeh; to tiah aek mah caak ih hmuen loe nangcae hnukung ah om ueloe, hmai mah kangh ih baktih toengah nangcae ih ngan to caa tih. Hnukkhuem ni hanah ni tacong to na patung pae o boeh.
4Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
4Khenah, na lawk ah toksah kaminawk ih toksakhaih atho to na paek o ai, nihcae to na ling o pongah, toksah kaminawk loe hang o: caang aat kaminawk qahhaih lok to Sabaoth Angraeng ih naa ah phak boeh.
5You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter.
5Nangcae loe phuhnaephaih hoi taksa nawmhaih hoiah hae long nuiah kho na sak o; ani phak naah boh hanah suek ih maitaw baktiah, na thawk o hruk boeh.
6You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not.
6Nangcae ih lok aek ai, katoeng kaminawk to lok na caek o moe, na hum o boeh.
7Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
7To pongah nawkamyanawk, Angraeng angzoh khoek to palungsawk oh. Lawk tok sah kami loe, long hoiah atho kaom thingthai to tacawt hanah, hmaloe koek hoi hnukkhuem koek khotui hnu ai karoek to kawbangmaw palungsawkhaih hoiah a zing, tito khen oh.
8Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
8Nangcae doeh palungsawk oh toeng ah; Angraeng angzohhaih ni loe zoi boeh pongah, poekhaih palungthin cak o sak ah.
9Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door.
9Nawkamyanawk, maeto hoi maeto angzoeh o hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe lokcaekhaih na hnu o moeng tih: khenah, lokcaekkung loe thok taengah angdoet boeh.
10Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.
10Nawkamyanawk, Angraeng ih ahmin hoi lok taphong tahmaanawk ih patangkhanghaih, pauephaih hoi palungsawkhaih to kuu la oh.
11Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
11Khenah, raihaih pauep thaih kaminawk loe tahamhoihaih hnu kami ah oh o, tiah poekhaih a tawnh o. Job palungsawkhaih to na thaih o boeh, Angraeng loe palungnathaih hoiah koi pongah, boenghaih niah Angraeng mah anih han sak pae ih hmuen to na panoek o boeh.
12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: that you fall not under judgment.
12Toe nawkamyanawk, hmuen boih ah lokkamhaih to sah o hmah, van hoiah maw, to tih ai boeh loe long hoiah maw lokkamhaih to sah o hmah, kawbaktih kasae lokkamhaih doeh sah o hmah: tangtang ni, tiah na thuih o ih lok loe, tangtang ah om nasoe loe, tangtang ai, tiah na thuih o ih lok loe, tangtang ai ah om nasoe, to tih ai nahaeloe lokcaekhaih na tong o moeng tih.
13Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.
13Nangcae thungah raihaih tong kami na oh o maw? Lawkthui nasoe. Poeknawm kami na oh o maw? Saam laa to sah nasoe.
14Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
14Nangcae thungah nganna kami oh maw? Kricaa zaehoikung kacoehta to kawk nasoe; Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah situi bawh nasoe loe, lawkthui pae nasoe.
15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.
15Tanghaih hoi lawkthuihaih mah ngantuisak ueloe, Angraeng mah anih to pathawk tih; anih mah zaehaih sah moeng cadoeh, a zaehaihnawk to tahmen pae tih.
16Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
16Ngan na tui o thai hanah, maeto hoi maeto sakpazaehaih taphong oh, maeto hoi maeto hanah lawkthui oh. Kaciim kami maeto mah palung tang hoi lawkthuihaih loe kating ai atho oh.
17Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.
17Elijah loe aicae baktiah taksa hoi kaom kami maeto toeng ni, toe anih loe kho angzoh han ai ah loktangta hoiah lawk a thuih, to naah saning thumto hoi khrah tarukto thung long nuiah kho angzo ai.
18And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
18Anih mah lawkthuih let naah, van hoi khotui to krak moe, long mah thingthai to tacawtsak.
19My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:
19Nawkamyanawk, loktang lok hoiah amkhraeng ving nangcae thungah kaom kami maeto to, kami maeto mah amlaemsak let nahaeloe,
20He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
20kami zae caeh pazaehaih loklam thung hoiah angqoisak let kami loe, duekhaih thung hoiah pakhra to pahlong ueloe, pop parai zaehaihnawk to kraeng pae tih, tiah kaom lok to anih mah panoek nasoe.
