Tiago 5

Whakatūpato ki te Whai Rawa

1 Tēnā, e te hunga taonga, e tangi koutou, auē ki ō koutou mate meāke nei puta mai. 2 Kua pirau ō koutou taonga, kua kainga ō koutou kākahu e te huhu. 3 Kua waikuratia tā koutou kōura, me tā koutou hiriwa; ko te waikura anō o aua mea hei kaiwhakaatu i tō koutou hē, hei kai hoki i ō koutou kikokiko, ānō he kāpura. Kua pae nā i a koutou he taonga mō ngā rā whakamutunga. 4 Nanā, kei te karanga te utu i kaiponuhia e koutou mā ngā kaimahi nāna i kokoti ā koutou māra, kua tae atu anō hoki ngā karanga a ngā kaikokoti ki ngā taringa o te Ariki o ngā Mano Tini.

5 Kua kai koutou i ngā kai papai i runga i te whenua, whāia ana e koutou a te tinana whakaahuareka; atawhaitia ana e koutou ō koutou ngākau, me te mea anō ko te rā okanga tēnei. 6 Whakatakā ana e koutou ki te hē, patua iho te mea tika, kīhai anō ia i pēhi atu i tā koutou.

Te Manawanui me te Īnoi

7 Nā, tatari mārie koutou, e ōku tēina, ki te haerenga mai o te Ariki. Nā, tūmanako tonu te kaingaki ki ngā hua utu nui o te whenua, he mea tatari mārie atu nāna, kia tae mai rā anō tō mua me tō muri ua. 8 Tatari mārie anō hoki koutou. Kia ū ō koutou ngākau; kua tata hoki te haerenga mai o te Ariki. 9 Kaua e amuamu tētahi ki tētahi, e ōku tēina; kei whakatakā koutou ki te hē. Nanā, kei ngā tatau te kaiwhakawā e tū ana.

10 Ko ngā poropiti i kōrero nei i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, waiho rātou, e ōku tēina, hei tauira mō te whakamanawanui ki ngā kino, mō te tatari mārie. 11 Nanā, ki tā tātou he hari te hunga e whakamanawanui ana. Kua rongo koutou ki te manawanui o Hopa, kua kite hoki i tō te Ariki whakamutunga, he nui tō te Ariki aroha, me tāna mahi tohu.

12 Ko te tuatahi ia o ngā mea katoa, e ōku tēina, kaua te rangi, kaua te whenua, kaua tētahi atu oati, e oatitia e koutou; engari me "Āe" tā koutou "Āe", me "Kāhore" tā koutou "Kāhore," kei taka koutou ki te whakawā.

13 Ki te pāngia tētahi o koutou e te mamae, me īnoi. Ki te koa te ngākau o tētahi, me waiata. 14 Ki te tūroro tētahi i roto i a koutou, me karanga e ia ki ngā kaumātua o te hāhi; ā, mā rātou e īnoi ki runga ki a ia, me te whakawahi anō i a ia ki te hinu i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki. 15 Ā, e ora te tūroro i te īnoi whakapono, mā te Ariki anō ia e whakaara ake; ki te mea hoki kua mahi hara ia, ka murua tōna hara. 16 Whākina ō koutou hē tētahi ki tētahi, me īnoi anō koutou tētahi mō tētahi, kia ora ai ō koutou mate. Nui atu te mana o te īnoi kaha a te tangata tika.

17 He tangata a Irāia, he rite tahi te ngākau ki ō tātou, heoi, ka kaha nei tāna īnoi kia kaua e ua; kore ake he ua ki runga ki te whenua, ā, e toru ngā tau, e ono ngā marama. 18 Īnoi ana anō ia, ā, ka hōmai he ua e te rangi, nā, hua ana ngā hua o te whenua. 19 E ōku tēina, ki te kotiti kē tētahi o koutou i te pono, ā, ka meinga e tētahi kia tahuri mai anō, 20 kia mātau ia, ko te tangata i tahuri ai te tangata hara i te hē o tōna ara, e ora i a ia he wairua kei mate, he tini anō ngā hara ka hīpokina e ia.

1 Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 5 Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 10 Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

13 Is any among you suffering? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. 14 Is any among you sick? 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 and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. 17 Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

19 My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
