- 1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.Ἄγε νῦν οἱ πλούσιοι κλαύσατε ὀλολύζοντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ταλαιπωρίαις ὑμῶν ταῖς ἐπερχομέναις
- 2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.ὁ πλοῦτος ὑμῶν σέσηπεν καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν σητόβρωτα γέγονεν
- 3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.ὁ χρυσὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ὁ ἄργυρος καὶ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῶν εἰς μαρτύριον ὑμῖν ἔσται καὶ φάγεται τὰς σάρκας ὑμῶν ὡς πῦρ ἐθησαυρίσατε ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις
- 4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν ἀμησάντων τὰς χώρας ὑμῶν ὁ ἀφ’ ὑμῶν κράζει καὶ αἱ βοαὶ τῶν θερισάντων εἰς τὰ ὦτα Κυρίου ⸀εἰσεληλύθασιν
- 5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.ἐτρυφήσατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐσπαταλήσατε ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ⸀ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς
- 6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.κατεδικάσατε ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν
- 7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.Μακροθυμήσατε οὖν ἀδελφοί ἕως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου ἰδοὺ ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς μακροθυμῶν ἐπ’ ⸀αὐτῷ ἕως ⸀λάβῃ καὶ ὄψιμον
- 8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.μακροθυμήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς στηρίξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὅτι ἡ παρουσία τοῦ κυρίου ἤγγικεν
- 9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.μὴ στενάζετε ⸂ἀδελφοί κατ’ ἀλλήλων⸃ ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε ἰδοὺ ὁ κριτὴς πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἕστηκεν
- 10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.ὑπόδειγμα λάβετε ⸀ἀδελφοί τῆς καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας τοὺς προφήτας οἳ ἐλάλησαν ⸀ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου
- 11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.ἰδοὺ μακαρίζομεν τοὺς ⸀ὑπομείναντας τὴν ὑπομονὴν Ἰὼβ ἠκούσατε καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίου ⸀εἴδετε ὅτι πολύσπλαγχνός ἐστιν ⸂ὁ κύριος⸃ καὶ οἰκτίρμων
- 12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.Πρὸ πάντων δέ ἀδελφοί μου μὴ ὀμνύετε μήτε τὸν οὐρανὸν μήτε τὴν γῆν μήτε ἄλλον ὅρκον ἤτω δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ Ναὶ ναὶ καὶ τὸ ἵνα μὴ ⸂ὑπὸ κρίσιν⸃ πέσητε
- 13Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.Κακοπαθεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν προσευχέσθω εὐθυμεῖ ψαλλέτω
- 14Is any sick among you? 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:ἀσθενεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν προσκαλεσάσθω τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας καὶ προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν ἀλείψαντες ⸀αὐτὸν ἐλαίῳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου
- 15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.καὶ ἡ εὐχὴ τῆς πίστεως τὸν κάμνοντα καὶ ἐγερεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος κἂν ἁμαρτίας ᾖ πεποιηκώς ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ
- 16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.ἐξομολογεῖσθε ⸀οὖν ἀλλήλοις ⸂τὰς ἁμαρτίας⸃ καὶ ⸀εὔχεσθε ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων ὅπως ἰαθῆτε πολὺ ἰσχύει δέησις δικαίου ἐνεργουμένη
- 17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.ἄνθρωπος ἦν ὁμοιοπαθὴς ἡμῖν καὶ προσευχῇ προσηύξατο τοῦ μὴ βρέξαι καὶ οὐκ ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐνιαυτοὺς τρεῖς καὶ μῆνας ἕξ
- 18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.καὶ πάλιν προσηύξατο καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ⸂ὑετὸν ἔδωκεν⸃ καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς
- 19Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;Ἀδελφοί ⸀μου ἐάν ἐν ὑμῖν πλανηθῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ ἐπιστρέψῃ αὐτόν
- 20Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.⸀γινωσκέτω ὅτι ὁ ἐπιστρέψας ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐκ πλάνης ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ ψυχὴν ⸀αὐτοῦ ἐκ θανάτου καὶ καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν
