James 5

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 You rich people, listen to me. Cry and sob, because you will soon be suffering.

2 Your riches have rotted. Moths have eaten your clothes.

3 Your gold and silver have lost their brightness. Their dullness will give witness against you. Your wanting more and more will eat your body like fire. You have stored up riches in these last days.

4 You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord who rules over all.

5 You have lived an easy life on earth. You have given yourselves everything you wanted. You have made yourselves fat like cattle that will soon be butchered.

6 You have judged and murdered people who aren't guilty. And they weren't even opposing you.

7 Brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord comes. See how the farmer waits for the land to produce its rich crop. See how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.

8 You too must be patient. You must stand firm. The Lord will soon come back.

9 Brothers and sisters, don't find fault with one another. If you do, you will be judged. And the Judge is standing at the door!

10 Brothers and sisters, think about the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. They are an example of how to be patient when you suffer.

11 As you know, we think that people who don't give up are blessed. You have heard that Job was patient. And you have seen what the Lord finally did for him. The Lord is full of tender mercy and loving concern.

12 My brothers and sisters, don't take an oath when you make a promise. Don't call on heaven or earth or anything else to back up what you say. Let your "Yes" be yes. And let your "No" be no. If you don't, you will be judged.

13 Are any of you in trouble? Then you should pray. Are any of you happy? Then sing songs of praise.

14 Are any of you sick? Then send for the elders of the church to pray over you. Ask them to anoint you with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 The prayer offered by those who have faith will make you well. The Lord will heal you. If you have sinned, you will be forgiven.

16 So admit to one another that you have sinned. Pray for one another so that you might be healed. The prayer of a godly person is powerful. It makes things happen.

17 Elijah was just like us. He prayed hard that it wouldn't rain. And it didn't rain on the land for three and a half years.

18 Then he prayed again. That time it rained. And the earth produced its crops.

19 My brothers and sisters, suppose one of you wanders away from the truth and someone brings you back.

20 Then here is what I want everyone to remember. Anyone who turns a sinner from going down the wrong path will save him from death. God will erase many sins by forgiving him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 age nunc divites plorate ululantes in miseriis quae advenient vobis

2 divitiae vestrae putrefactae sunt et vestimenta vestra a tineis comesta sunt

3 aurum et argentum vestrum eruginavit et erugo eorum in testimonium vobis erit et manducabit carnes vestras sicut ignis thesaurizastis in novissimis diebus

4 ecce merces operariorum qui messuerunt regiones vestras qui fraudatus est a vobis clamat et clamor ipsorum in aures Domini Sabaoth introiit

5 epulati estis super terram et in luxuriis enutristis corda vestra in die occisionis

6 addixistis occidistis iustum non resistit vobis

7 patientes igitur estote fratres usque ad adventum Domini ecce agricola expectat pretiosum fructum terrae patienter ferens donec accipiat temporivum et serotinum

8 patientes estote et vos confirmate corda vestra quoniam adventus Domini adpropinquavit

9 nolite ingemescere fratres in alterutrum ut non iudicemini ecce iudex ante ianuam adsistit

10 exemplum accipite fratres laboris et patientiae prophetas qui locuti sunt in nomine Domini

11 ecce beatificamus qui sustinuerunt sufferentiam Iob audistis et finem Domini vidistis quoniam misericors est Dominus et miserator

12 ante omnia autem fratres mei nolite iurare neque per caelum neque per terram neque aliud quodcumque iuramentum sit autem vestrum est est non non uti non sub iudicio decidatis

13 tristatur aliquis vestrum oret aequo animo est psallat

14 infirmatur quis in vobis inducat presbyteros ecclesiae et orent super eum unguentes eum oleo in nomine Domini

15 et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum et adlevabit eum Dominus et si in peccatis sit dimittentur ei

16 confitemini ergo alterutrum peccata vestra et orate pro invicem ut salvemini multum enim valet deprecatio iusti adsidua

17 Helias homo erat similis nobis passibilis et oratione oravit ut non plueret super terram et non pluit annos tres et menses sex

18 et rursum oravit et caelum dedit pluviam et terra dedit fructum suum

19 fratres mei si quis ex vobis erraverit a veritate et converterit quis eum

20 scire debet quoniam qui converti fecerit peccatorem ab errore viae suae salvabit animam eius a morte et operit multitudinem peccatorum
