Опомена богатима
5 Де сад, ви богаташи, заплачите и закукајте, због невоља које ће вас задесити. 2 Богатство ваше иструну, одећу вам мољци изједоше, 3 злато и сребро ваше рђа је прекрила, рђа њихова против вас ће сведочити, а огањ прождрети ваша тела. Благо сте згрнули у последње дане! 4 Ево! Виче плата радника који су жели ваше њиве, коју сте им ви ускратили; вапаји жетелаца допрли су до ушију Господа над војскама. 5 Живели сте раскошно на земљи и уживали; утовили сте своја срца за дан погубљења. 6 Осудили сте и убили праведника, а он вам се није противио.
Патња и истрајност
7 Стога, браћо, будите стрпљиви, док Господ не дође. Погледајте како земљорадник ишчекује драгоцени род земље, стрпљиво чекајући на рану и позну кишу. 8 Стога и ви истрајте, учврстите своја срца, јер се долазак Господњи приближио. 9 Не гунђајте, браћо, један против другога да не будете суђени. Гле, Судија већ стоји на вратима!
10 За пример стрпљивости у злопаћењу, узмите, браћо, пророке који су говорили у име Господње. 11 Ево, блаженим називамо оне који су издржали. Чули сте за Јовову стрпљивост и видели сте шта је Господ на крају учинио, јер је Господ веома милостив и милосрдан.
12 Изнад свега, браћо моја, не заклињите се ни небом, ни земљом, нити којом другом заклетвом. Ваше „да“ нека буде „да“, и ваше „не“ – „не“.
Молитва вере
13 Злопати ли се ко међу вама? Нека моли. Радује ли се ко? Нека пева хвалоспев. 14 Болује ли ко међу вама? Нека позове црквене старешине, а они нека се моле над њим помазујући га уљем у име Господње, 15 па ће молитва вере исцелити болесника; Господ ће га подићи, и ако је починио грехе биће му опроштено. 16 Стога исповедајте своје грехе један другоме, и молите се једни за друге да будете исцељени. Много може постићи молитва праведника.
17 Илија је био човек као и ми. Он се жарко помолио да не буде кише, и киша није пала на земљу три године и шест месеци. 18 Онда се поново помолио, и небо је дало кишу, те је земља донела свој род.
Враћање заблуделих на прави пут
19 Браћо моја, ако ко од вас одлута од истине и неко га врати натраг, 20 знајте да ће онај који врати грешника с кривог пута спасти његов живот од смрти и покрити мноштво греха.
Јаковљева 5
Serbian New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
Упозорење богаташима
5 Чујте сада ви, богаташи. Заплачите и закукајте због беде која ће вас снаћи! 2 Иструну ваше богатство, а одећу вам изједоше мољци. 3 Зарђаше вам злато и сребро – њихова рђа ће сведочити против вас и прождрети вам тело као огањ. Згрнусте благо у последње дане. 4 Ево виче надница што сте је ускратили радницима који су пожњели ваше њиве и вика жетелаца допрла је до ушију Господа над војскама. 5 Живели сте на земљи раскошно и распусно; утовили сте се[a] на дан клања. 6 Осудили сте и убили праведника; он вам се не противи.
Стрпљивост у невољама
7 Дакле, стрпљиво истрајте, браћо, до Господњег доласка. Ево и ратар ишчекује драгоцени род земље и стрпљиво чека док не добије рану и касну кишу[b]. 8 И ви стрпљиво чекајте и учврстите своје срце, јер се приближио Господњи долазак. 9 Не гунђајте један против другога, браћо, да не будете осуђени. Ево Судија стоји на вратима!
10 За пример злопаћења и истрајности, браћо моја, узмите пророке, који су говорили у име Господа. 11 Ето, оне који су истрајали, зовемо срећнима. Чули сте за Јовову истрајност и видели шта је на крају Господ учинио. Господ је пун самилости и милосрђа.
12 А пре свега, браћо моја, не заклињите се ни небом, ни земљом, ни ма којом другом заклетвом. Нека ваше »да« буде »да«, а ваше »не« – »не«, да не будете осуђени.
Молитва вере
13 Ако се неко од вас злопати, нека се моли. Ако је неко радостан, нека пева хвалоспеве. 14 Ако је неко од вас болестан, нека позове к себи старешине цркве, а они нека се помоле над њим и помажу га уљем у име Господа, 15 и молитва вере излечиће болесника – Господ ће га подићи. Ако је згрешио, биће му опроштено. 16 Стога, признајте[c] своје грехе један другом и молите се један за другога да будете излечени. Много може делотворна молитва праведника.
17 Илија је био човек као и ми. Свесрдно се помолио да не падне киша, и киша три и по године није пала на земљу. 18 А онда се опет помолио, и небо је дало кишу, а земља донела род.
19 Браћо моја, ако неко од вас одлута од истине, а неко га врати, 20 знајте да ће га тај који га је вратио са странпутице спасти од смрти и покрити мноштво греха.
James 5
New International Version
Warning to Rich Oppressors
5 Now listen,(A) you rich people,(B) weep and wail(C) because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.(D) 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.(E) 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers(F) who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries(G) of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.(H) 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves(I) in the day of slaughter.[a](J) 6 You have condemned and murdered(K) the innocent one,(L) who was not opposing you.
Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.(M) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting(N) for the autumn and spring rains.(O) 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming(P) is near.(Q) 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters,(R) or you will be judged. The Judge(S) is standing at the door!(T)
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets(U) who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed(V) those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance(W) and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.(X) The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.(Y)
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.(Z)
The Prayer of Faith
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.(AA) Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.(AB) 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders(AC) of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil(AD) in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith(AE) will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins(AF) to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.(AG) The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.(AH)
17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are.(AI) He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.(AJ) 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.(AK)
19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth(AL) and someone should bring that person back,(AM) 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save(AN) them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.(AO)

James 5
King James Version
5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your 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.
4 Behold, 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.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be 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.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Behold, 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.
12 But 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.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Is 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:
15 And 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.
16 Confess 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.
17 Elias 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.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let 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.
James 5
New King James Version
Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged
5 Come now, you (A)rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your (B)riches [a]are corrupted, and (C)your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. (D)You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed (E)the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and (F)the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of [b]Sabaoth. 5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and [c]luxury; you have [d]fattened your hearts [e]as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.
Be Patient and Persevering
7 Therefore 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. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord [f]is at hand.
9 Do not [g]grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be [h]condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! 10 (G)My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and (H)patience. 11 Indeed (I)we count them blessed who (J)endure. You have heard of (K)the perseverance of Job and seen (L)the end intended by the Lord—that (M)the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
12 But above all, my brethren, (N)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 [i]judgment.
Meeting Specific Needs(O)
13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him (P)pray. Is anyone cheerful? (Q)Let him sing psalms. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, (R)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. (S)And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [j]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (T)The effective, [k]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man (U)with a nature like ours, and (V)he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed (W)again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
Bring Back the Erring One
19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone (X)turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way (Y)will save [l]a soul from death and (Z)cover a multitude of sins.
