5 Dhe tani ju, o pasanikë: qani dhe vajtoni për të këqijat që do t’ju zënë!
2 Pasuria juaj u kalb dhe rrobat tuaja i brejti tenja.
3 Ari dhe argjendi juaj u ndryshkën, dhe ndryshku i tyre do të jetë një dëshmi kundër jush dhe do t’ju përpijë mishërat si zjarr; keni mbledhur thesare në ditët e fundit.
4 Ja, paga që u keni ngrënë puntorëve që ju korrën arat, po këlthet; dhe klithmat e atyre që korrën, arritën në vesh të Zotit të ushtrive.
5 Jetuat mbi tokë ndër qejfe dhe shkapërderdhje; i ushqyet zemrat tuaja si për ditë të të therurit.
6 Dënuat dhe vratë të drejtin: ai nuk ju kundërshtoi.
7 Tani, pra, vëllezër, jini të durueshëm deri në ardhjen e Zotit; shikoni si e pret me durim bujku frytin e çmuar të tokës, deri sa të marrë shiun e parë dhe të fundit.
8 Jini të durueshëm edhe ju dhe forconi zemrat tuaja, sepse ardhja e Zotit është afër.
9 Mos u ankoni nga njeri tjetri, vëllezër, që të mos dënoheni; ja, gjykatësi është te dera.
10 O vëllezër të mi, merrni si shembull vuajtjeje dhe durimi profetët, që folën në emër të Zotit.
11 Ja, ne shpallim të lum ata që duruan; ju keni dëgjuar për durimin e Jobit, dhe e keni parë fatin përfundimtar që Zoti i rezervoi, sepse Zoti është plot mëshirë e dhembshuri.
12 Dhe, para së gjithash, vëllezër të mi, mos bëni be as për qiellin as për dheun, as mos bëni ndonjë be tjetër; por le të jetë “po” -ja juaj “po” dhe “jo” -ja “jo,” që të mos bini nën dënim.
13 A vuan ndonjë nga ju? Le të lutet. A është i gëzuar ndokush? Le të këndojë psalme!
14 A është i sëmurë ndonjë nga ju? Le të thërrasë pleqtë e kishës dhe ata të luten përmbi të, dhe le ta lyejnë me vaj në emër të Zotit,
15 dhe lutja e besimit do ta shpëtojë të sëmurin dhe Zoti do ta mëkëmbë; dhe nëse ka bërë mëkate, ato do t’i falen.
16 Rrëfeni fajet njeri tjetrit dhe lutuni për njeri tjetrin, që të shëroheni; shumë fuqi ka lutja e të drejtit kur bëhet me gjithë shpirt.
17 Elia ishte një njeri me të njëtat pasionet tona, dhe u lut intensivisht që të mos binte shi, edhe nuk ra shi mbi dhe për tre vjet e gjashtë muaj.
18 Dhe u lut përsëri dhe qielli dha shi edhe dheu dha frytin e vet.
19 Vëllezër, në qoftë se ndonjë nga ju del nga rruga e së vërtetës dhe dikush e kthen,
20 le ta dijë se ai që e kthen mëkatarin nga të gabuarit e rrugës së tij, do të shpëtojë një shpirt nga vdekja dhe do të mbulojë një shumicë mëkatesh.

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.

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)
