James 5

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 And now, you rich people, listen to me! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you!

2 Your riches have rotted away, and your clothes have been eaten by moths.

3 Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and this rust will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have piled up riches in these last days.

4 You have not paid any wages to those who work in your fields. Listen to their complaints! The cries of those who gather in your crops have reached the ears of God, the Lord Almighty.

5 Your life here on earth has been full of luxury and pleasure. You have made yourselves fat for the day of slaughter.

6 You have condemned and murdered innocent people, and they do not resist you.

7 Be patient, then, my friends, until the Lord comes. See how patient farmers are as they wait for their land to produce precious crops. They wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains.

8 You also must be patient. Keep your hopes high, for the day of the Lord's coming is near.

9 Do not complain against one another, my friends, so that God will not judge you. The Judge is near, ready to appear.

10 My friends, remember the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Take them as examples of patient endurance under suffering.

11 We call them happy because they endured. You have heard of Job's patience, and you know how the Lord provided for him in the end. For the Lord is full of mercy and compassion.

12 Above all, my friends, do not use an oath when you make a promise. Do not swear by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Say only "Yes" when you mean yes, and "No" when you mean no, and then you will not come under God's judgment.

13 Are any among you in trouble? They should pray. Are any among you happy? They should sing praises.

14 Are any among you sick? They should send for the church elders, who will pray for them and rub olive oil on them in the name of the Lord.

15 This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them to health, and the sins they have committed will be forgiven.

16 So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.

17 Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years.

18 Once again he prayed, and the sky poured out its rain and the earth produced its crops.

19 My friends, if any of you wander away from the truth and another one brings you back again,

20 remember this: whoever turns a sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner's soul from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.
