| 1 | Ἄγε νῦν οἱ πλούσιοι, κλαύσατε ὀλολύζοντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ταλαιπωρίαις ὑμῶν ταῖς ἐπερχομέναις. |
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. | Warning to the Rich Jas.5.1-6
|
| 2 | ὁ πλοῦτος ὑμῶν σέσηπεν καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν σητόβρωτα γέγονεν, |
Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. |
|
| 3 | ὁ χρυσὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ὁ ἀργυρος κατίωται, καὶ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῶν εἰς μαρτύριον ὑμῖν ἐσται καὶ φάγεται τὰς σάρκας ὑμῶν ὡς πῦρ· ἐθησαυρίσατε ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις. |
Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. |
|
| 4 | ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν ἀμησάντων τὰς χώρας ὑμῶν ὁ ἀπεστερημένος ἀφ' ὑμῶν κράζει, καὶ αἱ βοαὶ τῶν θερισάντων εἰς τὰ ὦτα κυρίου Σαβαὼθ εἰσεληλύθασιν. |
Behold, the wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. |
|
| 5 | ἐτρυφήσατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐσπαταλήσατε, ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς. |
You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. |
|
| 6 | κατεδικάσατε, ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον. οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν. |
You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you. |
|
| 7 | Μακροθυμήσατε οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ἑως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου. ἰδοὺ ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς, μακροθυμῶν ἐπ' αὐτῷ ἑως λάβῃ ΠΡOIMON KΑI OΨIMON. |
Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain. | Patience and Prayer Jas.5.7-20
|
| 8 | μακροθυμήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς, στηρίξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἡ παρουσία τοῦ κυρίου Ἤγγικεν. |
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. |
|
| 9 | μὴ στενάζετε, ἀδελφοί, κατ' ἀλλήλων, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· ἰδοὺ ὁ κριτὴς πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἑστηκεν. |
Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the doors. |
|
| 10 | ὑπόδειγμα λάβετε, ἀδελφοί, τῆς κακοπαθίας καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας τοὺς προφήτας, οἳ ἐλάλησαν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου. |
As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. |
|
| 11 | ἰδοὺ μακαρίζομεν τοὺς ὑπομείναντας· τὴν ὑπομονὴν Ἰὼβ ἠκούσατε, καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίου εἰδετε, ὅτι πολύσπλαγχνός ἐστιν ὁ κύριος καὶ οἰκτίρμων. |
Behold, we call those happy who were steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. | - You have heard of the steadfastness of Job Jas.5.11 | Dn.12.12

|
| 12 | Πρὸ πάντων δέ, ἀδελφοί μου, μὴ ὀμνύετε, μήτε τὸν οὐρανὸν μήτε τὴν γῆν μήτε ἀλλον τινὰ ὁρκον· ἠτω δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ Ναὶ ναὶ καὶ τὸ Οὒ οὒ, ἵνα μὴ ὑπὸ κρίσιν πέσητε. |
But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no, that you may not fall under condemnation. |
|
| 13 | Κακοπαθεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσευχέσθω· εὐθυμεῖ τις; ψαλλέτω. |
Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. |
|
| 14 | ἀσθενεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσκαλεσάσθω τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπ' αὐτὸν ἀλείψαντες ἐλαίῳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι [τοῦ] κυρίου· |
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 | καὶ ἡ εὐχὴ τῆς πίστεως σώσει τὸν κάμνοντα, καὶ ἐγερεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος· κἂν ἀμαρτίας ᾖ πεποιηκώς, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ. |
and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. |
|
| 16 | ἐξομολογεῖσθε οὖν ἀλλήλοις τὰς ἀμαρτίας καὶ εὐχεσθε ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων, ὁπως ἰαθῆτε. πολὺ ἰσχύει δέησις δικαίου ἐνεργουμένη. |
Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. |
|
| 17 | Ἠλίας ἄνθρωπος ἦν ὁμοιοπαθὴς ἡμῖν, καὶ προσευχῇ προσηύξατο τοῦ μὴ βρέξαι, καὶ οὐκ ἐβρεξεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐνιαυτοὺς τρεῖς καὶ μῆνας ἑξ· |
Eli'jah was a man of like nature with ourselves and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. |
|
| 18 | καὶ πάλιν προσηύξατο, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ὑετὸν ἐδωκεν καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς. |
Then he prayed again and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit. |
|
| 19 | Ἀδελφοί μου, ἐάν τις ἐν ὑμῖν πλανηθῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ ἐπιστρέψῃ τις αὐτόν, |
My brethren, if any one among you wanders from the truth and some one brings him back, |
|
| 20 | γινωσκέτω ὅτι ὁ ἐπιστρέψας ἀμαρτωλὸν ἐκ πλάνης ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ σώσει ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ θανάτου καὶ καλύψει πλῆθος ἀμαρτιῶν. |
let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. |
