James 5

1Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι, κλαυσατε ολολυζοντες επι ταις ταλαιπωριαις υμων ταις επερχομεναις.

2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

ο πλουτος υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν,

3Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

ο χρυσος υμων και ο αργυρος κατιωται, και ο ιος αυτων εις μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τας σαρκας υμων. ως πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταις ημεραις.

4Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

ιδου ο μισθος των εργατων των αμησαντων τας χωρας υμων ο απεστερημενος αφ υμων κραζει, και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εις τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ εισεληλυθασιν.

5You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

ετρυφησατε επι της γης και εσπαταλησατε, εθρεψατε τας καρδιας υμων ως εν ημερα σφαγης.

6You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

κατεδικασατε, εφονευσατε τον δικαιον· ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν.

7Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.

μακροθυμησατε ουν, αδελφοι, εως της παρουσιας του κυριου. ιδου ο γεωργος εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον της γης, μακροθυμων επ αυτω εως λαβη υετον πρωιμον και οψιμον.

8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

μακροθυμησατε και υμεις, στηριξατε τας καρδιας υμων, οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν.

9Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

μη στεναζετε κατ αλληλων, αδελφοι, ινα μη κριθητε· ιδου ο κριτης προ των θυρων εστηκεν.

10My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.

υποδειγμα λαβετε, αδελφοι μου, της κακοπαθειας και της μακροθυμιας τους προφητας, οι ελαλησαν τω ονοματι κυριου.

11Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

ιδου μακαριζομεν τους υπομενοντας· την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε, και το τελος κυριου ειδετε, οτι πολυσπλαγχνος εστιν ο κυριος και οικτιρμων.

12But 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,' 'No,' lest you fall into judgment.

προ παντων δε, αδελφοι μου, μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον· ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι, και το ου ου, ινα μη εις υποκρισιν πεσητε.

13Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

κακοπαθει τις εν υμιν; προσευχεσθω· ευθυμει τις; ψαλλετω.

14Is anyone 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.

ασθενει τις εν υμιν; προσκαλεσασθω τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας, και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντες αυτον ελαιω εν τω ονοματι του κυριου·

15And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

και η ευχη της πιστεως σωσει τον καμνοντα, και εγερει αυτον ο κυριος· καν αμαρτιας η πεποιηκως, αφεθησεται αυτω.

16Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

εξομολογεισθε αλληλοις τα παραπτωματα, και ευχεσθε υπερ αλληλων, οπως ιαθητε· πολυ ισχυει δεησις δικαιου ενεργουμενη.

17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

ηλιας ανθρωπος ην ομοιοπαθης ημιν, και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι, και ουκ εβρεξεν επι της γης ενιαυτους τρεις και μηνας εξ·

18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

και παλιν προσηυξατο, και ο ουρανος υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτης.

19Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

αδελφοι, εαν τις εν υμιν πλανηθη απο της αληθειας, και επιστρεψη τις αυτον,

20let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

γινωσκετω οτι ο επιστρεψας αμαρτωλον εκ πλανης οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων.
