James 5
1 Now [I have something to say to] the rich people [who do not believe in Christ and who] ([oppress you/cause you to suffer]). Listen [to me], you rich people! You should weep and wail [loudly] [DOU] because you will experience terrible troubles [PRS]!
Etiya ahibi, apuni khan kun dhuni ase, kandi kene hala koribi kelemane apuni logote dukh din ahibole ase.
2 Your wealth [of various kinds] is [worthless] [MET], [as though it were] rotted. Your fine clothes are [worthless] [MET], [as though] termites had ruined them.
Apuni laga dhun sob puchi jaise, aru apuni laga kapra sob puka pora khai dise.
3 Your gold and silver are [worthless] [MET], [as though they were] corroded. [When God judges you], this worthless wealth [MTY] of yours will be evidence [PRS] that you are guilty [of being greedy], and as rust and fire [destroy] [MET, SYN] things, [God] will severely punish you [SIM]. You have ([in vain/uselessly]) (stored up/accumulated) [wealth] at a time when [God] is about to [judge you] [MTY].
Apuni laga suna aru chandi sob biya hoi jaise aru mamor lagi kene thaka pora apuni laga bhirodh te gawahi dibo. Apuni laga gaw to jui pora jolai diya nisena hoi jabo. Apuni hekh din nimite dhun khan joma kori kene rakhi ase.
4 Think [about what you have done]. You have not paid wages to the workmen who have harvested your fields for you, [with the result that] [PRS] those reapers are crying out [to God for him to help them]. [And God], the all-powerful Lord, has heard their loud cries.
Sabi, kaam kora khan laga hajira poisa pora kandi ase- apuni laga kheti te kaam kora khan ke hajira poisa diya nai, aru taikhan kanda to Mohan Probhu laga kan te ponchise.
5 You have lived luxuriously, just to have pleasure [here] on earth. [Just like cattle fatten themselves, not realizing that] they will be slaughtered [MET], you have [lived just for pleasure] [MTY], [not realizing that God will severely punish you].
Etu prithibi laga khushi aru aram te apnikhan thakise. Kati kene morai diya laga din nimite apuni khan laga mon to mosto kori kene rakhise.
6 You have [arranged for others/judges to] condemn innocent people. You have [arranged for others to kill] some people. [And even though] those people had not done anything wrong, they were not [able to] defend themselves against you. [My fellow believers, that is what I say to the rich people] ([who oppress you/cause you to suffer]).
Aru dharmik manu ke ninda korise aru morai dise. Hoilebi tai apuni khan ke eneka kori bole pora rukhanai.
7 So, my fellow believers, [although rich people cause you to suffer], be patient until the Lord [Jesus Christ] comes [back]. Remember that when farmers [plant a field], they wait for their valuable crops to grow. They must wait patiently for the rain [that comes] at the planting season and for more rain [that comes] just before the harvest season. They wait [for] the crops [to grow and mature before they can harvest them].
Etu nimite, bhai khan, nomro hoi kene thakibi, jitia tak Probhu nahe. Sabi, kheti kora khan mati pora bhal phol ulabole nimite rukhi ase. Taikhan nomro hoi kene joldi nohoile hekh howa borkhon pani ke rukhi thake.
8 [Similarly], you also should [wait] patiently and trust the Lord [Jesus] firmly, because he is coming [back] soon [and will judge all people fairly].
Apuni bhi, dhorjo koribi. Apuni laga mon to takot kori lobi, kelemane Probhu wapas ahibole to usor hoise.
9 My fellow believers, do not complain about each other, in order that you will not be condemned [and punished by the Lord Jesus] {in order that [the Lord Jesus] will not condemn you}. It is he who will judge us, and he is ready to appear.
Bhai khan, manu laga biya ekjon-ekjon logote nokobi, eneka nakorile he apuni logote bisar nahibo. Sabi, bisar kora ekjon dorjate khara kori ase.
10 My fellow believers, as an example [of how to be patient], (consider/think about) the prophets whom the Lord [God sent long ago] to speak his messages [MTY]. [Although people caused] the prophets to suffer a lot, they endured it patiently.
Bhai kokai khan, kosto te dhorjo hobo nimite, bhabobadi khan, kunkhan Probhu naam te prochar korise, taikhan ke namuna nisena lobi.
11 And we know that [God] (approves of/is pleased with) those who endure [suffering for him]. You have also heard about Job. You know that [although he suffered much], the Lord [God] finally caused things to turn out well [for Job because] he endured [that suffering] (OR, because he continued [to trust God]). [And from that we know] that the Lord is very compassionate and kind.
Sabi, kunkhan dhorjo korise, taikhan to asishit ase koi kene amikhan biswas kore. Job kineka dukh paise etu apuni khan hunise, aru apuni khan Probhu laga ki itcha ase etu jane, Tai kiman morom kore aru kiman dayalu ase.
12 Also, my fellow believers, [I want to say] something important [about how you talk]. [If you say that you will do something], do not say, “If I do not do it, may [God in] heaven [MTY] punish me.” Do not even say, “If I do not do it, may [someone here on] earth [MTY] punish me.” Do not say anything like that. Instead, if you say “Yes,” then [do what you said that you would do]. If you say “No,” then do not [do it]. Otherwise, [God] will condemn you.
Kintu ami laga bhai khan, eitu khan sob pora bhi upor, apuni sorgo aru prithibi laga naam pora kosom nakhabi, aru dusra eku naam te kosom nakhabi. Kintu, apuni laga “Hoi” to “Hoi” hobole dibi aru “Nohoi” to “Nohoi” hobole dibi, etu pora apuni khan bisar te nagiribo.
13 Whoever among you is experiencing trouble [RHQ] should pray [that God would help him. Whoever] is cheerful/happy [RHQ] should sing songs of praise [to God].
Kunba apuni khan majote dukh pai ase naki? Tai prathana koribi. Kunba khushi ase naki? Tai gana kori kene mohima dibi.
14 Whoever among you is sick [RHQ] should call the leaders of the congregation [to come to pray for him]. They should put [olive] oil on him and, with the Lord’s authority [MTY] (OR, calling on the Lord [to heal him]), pray.
Kunba apuni khan majote bemar ase naki? Tai girja laga bura khan ke mati bhi, aru tai uporte prathana kori bole dibi aru Probhu laga naam te tai uporte tel lagai dibole kobi.
15 And if they truly trust [in the Lord] when they pray [PRS], the sick person will be healed. The Lord will heal him. And if that person has sinned ([in a way that caused him to be/and because of that he became]) [sick, if he] ([confesses what he did/says that he did what is wrong]), he will be forgiven {[the Lord] will forgive him}.
Biswas laga prathana pora bemar thaka ekjon ke bhal koribo, aru Probhu pora taike uthai dibo. Jodi tai paap korise koile bhi, Isor pora taike maph koribo.
16 So, [because the Lord is able to heal the sick and to forgive sins], tell each other the sinful things that you have done, and pray for each other in order that you may be healed {that [God] may heal you} [physically and spiritually]. If righteous people [pray and] ask fervently [for God to do something, God] will certainly do it in a powerful way.
Ekjon-ekjon logote paap shikar koribi, aru ek dusra nimite prathana koribi, etu pora apuni changai hoi jabo. Dharmik ekjon laga prathana to bisi shakti pora kaam kore.
17 [Although the prophet] Elijah was (an ordinary person/just a human being) like us, he earnestly prayed that it would not rain. [As a result], it did not rain for three and a half years.
Elijah bhi amikhan nisena ekjon thakise. Tai mon dikene pani na giribole nimite prathana korise, aru tin saal aru choi mohina tak etu jagate pani gira nai.
18 Then he prayed again, [asking God to send rain], and [as a result God] [MTY] sent rain, and plants [grew and] produced crops [again].
Titia Elijah aru bhi prathana korise, aru sorgo pora pani dise, aru prithibi pora phol ulaise.
19 My fellow believers, if anyone of you stops obeying the true message [from God], someone from among you should persuade that person to once again do [what God has told us to do]. [If he stops doing what is wrong],
Ami laga bhai khan, jodi kunba apuni khan majote hosa to najani kene thaki ase, aru kunba pora taike loi anise,
20 the one [who persuaded him] should realize that [because] he has enabled the person who was sinning to stop doing what is wrong, [God] will save that person from ([spiritual] death/being separated from him forever), and will forgive [his] many sins.
etu manu janibole lage kun pora paapi ekjon, kun rasta harai kene berai ase, ta te pora mon ghurai kene loi anibo, tai laga atma ke mrityu pora bachai loise, aru bisi paap thaka to maph pai loise.
