1 C ome now, you rich, weep aloud and lament over the miseries (the woes) that are surely coming upon you.

Bal kaalaya hadda, kuwiinnan taajiriinta ahow, ooya oo ka baroorta dhibaatooyinka idinku soo degaya.

2 Y our abundant wealth has rotted and is ruined, and your garments have become moth-eaten.

Duunyadiinnii way qudhuntay, dharkiinniina aboor baa cunay.

3 Y our gold and silver are completely rusted through, and their rust will be testimony against you and it will devour your flesh as if it were fire. You have heaped together treasure for the last days.

Dahabkiinnii iyo lacagtiinniiba way mirdheen, miridhkooduna markhaati buu idinku noqon doonaa, wuxuuna jidhkiinna u cuni doonaa sida dabka oo kale. Maal baad u urursateen maalmaha ugu dambeeya.

4 l ook! the wages that you have withheld by fraud from the laborers who have reaped your fields, crying out; and the cries of the harvesters have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts.

Shaqaalayaashii beerihiinnii idiin gooyay mushahaaradoodii aad dulmiga uga reebateen way dhawaaqaysaa, qaylooyinkii kuwii beerihii gooyayna waxay galeen dhegaha Rabbiga Saba'ood.

5 o n earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

Dhulkaad ku barwaaqaysateen, waadna ku raaxaysateen, oo qalbiyadiinnii waxaad u naaxiseen maalinta gowracidda.

6 Y ou have condemned and have murdered the righteous (innocent man), he offers no resistance to you.

Waad xukunteen, waadna disheen kan xaqa ah. Isaguna isma kiin hor taago. Waano Ku Saabsan Dulqaadashada

7 S o be patient, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the land. he keeps up his patient over it until it receives the early and late rains.

Haddaba, walaalayaalow, dulqaata ilaa imaatinka Rabbiga. Bal ogaada, ninka beerrey ahu wuxuu sugaa midhaha qiimaha leh ee dhulka, isagoo u dulqaata ilaa uu helo roobka hore iyo kan dambe.

8 S o you also must be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is very near.

Idinkuna dulqaata, qalbiyadiinnana xoogeeya, waayo, imaatinka Rabbigu wuu dhow yahay.

9 D o not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you may not be judged. Look! The Judge is standing at the very door.

Ha iska cabanina, walaalayaalow, yaan laydin xukumine. Bal ogaada, xaakinku albaabbada hortooduu taagan yahaye.

10 a n example of suffering and ill-treatment together with patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

Walaalayaalow, u qaata tilmaan dhibaato iyo dulqaadasho ah nebiyadii ku hadlay magaca Rabbiga.

11 Y ou know how we call those blessed (happy) who were steadfast. You have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the Lord’s end, inasmuch as the Lord is full of pity and compassion and tenderness and mercy.

Bal ogaada! Waxaynu ugu yeedhnaa kuwo barakaysan kuwii adkaystay. Waad maqasheen adkaysashadii Ayuub, waadna aragteen dhammaadkii qasdiga Rabbiga, waayo, Rabbigu waa raxmad badan yahay, naxariisna wuu leeyahay.

12 B ut above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no be no, so that you may not sin and fall under condemnation.

Laakiin wax walba hortood, walaalahayow, ha dhaaranina; ha ku dhaaranina jannada, ama dhulka, ama dhaar kale; haahdiinnu haah ha ahaato, mayadiinnuna maya ha ahaato, yeydnan ku dhicin xukun hoostiis. Xoogga Ducada

13 I s anyone among you afflicted (ill-treated, suffering evil)? He should pray. Is anyone glad at heart? He should sing praise.

Mid dhibaataysanu ma idinku dhex jiraa? Ha ducaysto. Mid faraxsanu ma jiraa? Ha gabyo.

14 I s anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord’s name.

Mid bukaa ma idinku dhex jiraa? Ha u yeedho waayeellada kiniisadda, oo iyagu ha u duceeyeen, oo saliid ha ku mariyeen magaca Rabbiga.

15 A nd the prayer of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Ducadii rumaysad lahu way bogsiin doontaa kii buka, oo Rabbigu waa sara kicin doonaa, oo hadduu dembaabay waa loo dembidhaafi doonaa.

16 C onfess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available.

Midkiinba midka kale dembiyadiisa ha u qirto oo ha u duceeyo si aad u bogsataan. Nin xaq ah baryadiisa shaqaysa wax badan bay kartaa.

17 E lijah was a human being with a nature such as we have; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.

Eliyaas wuxuu ahaa nin dabiicaddeenna oo kale leh. Aad buu Ilaah u baryay inaan roob di'in, roobna saddex sannadood iyo lix bilood dhulka kuma uu di'in.

18 A nd he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops.

Oo kol kale ayuu Ilaah baryay, oo cirku roob buu soo daayay, dhulkuna midhihiisii buu soo saaray.

19 b rethren, if anyone among you strays from the Truth and falls into error and another brings him back,

Walaalahayow, haddii midkiin ka leexdo runta, oo mid soo celiyo isaga,

20 L et the one be sure that whoever turns a sinner from his evil course will save soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins '> procure the pardon of the many sins committed by the convert].

ogaada in kii dembilaha qaladka jidkiisa ka soo celiyaa uu dembilihii naftiisa dhimasho ka badbaadin doono oo uu dembiyo badan qarin doono.
