Santiago 5
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
5 Magsiparito ngayon, kayong mayayaman, kayo'y magsitangis at magsihagulhol dahil sa mga karalitaan ninyong sa inyo'y darating.
2 Ang inyong mga kayamanan ay mga bulok, at ang inyong mga damit ay nginangatngat ng tanga.
3 Ang inyong ginto at ang inyong pilak ay kinakalawang na; at ang mga kalawang na ito ay siyang magiging patotoo laban sa inyo, at gaya ng apoy na lalamunin ang inyong laman. Kayo'y nagtipon ng inyong mga kayamanan sa mga huling araw.
4 Narito, ang kaupahan ng mga manggagawa na nagsiani sa inyong mga bukid, na iniring ninyo sa pamamagitan ng daya, ay humihibik: at ang mga hibik ng mga nagsiani ay nagsipasok sa mga pakinig ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
5 Kayo'y nangabuhay ng tamasa sa ibabaw ng lupa, at nangagalak; inyong pinataba ang inyong mga puso sa araw ng patayan.
6 Inyong hinatulan, inyong pinatay ang matuwid; hindi niya kayo nilalabanan.
7 Mangagtiis nga kayo, mga kapatid, hanggang sa pagparito ng Panginoon. Narito, inaasahan ng magsasaka ang mahalagang bunga ng lupa, na may pagtitiis, hanggang sa tanggapin ang ulang maaga at huli.
8 Mangagtiis din naman kayo; pagtibayin ninyo ang inyong mga puso, sapagka't ang pagparito ng Panginoon ay malapit na.
9 Huwag kayong mangagupasalaan, mga kapatid, laban sa isa't isa, upang kayo'y huwag mahatulan; narito, ang hukom ay nakatayo sa harapan ng mga pinto.
10 Kunan ninyong halimbawa ng pagbabata at ng pagtitiis, mga kapatid, ang mga propeta na nagsipagsalita sa pangalan ng Panginoon.
11 Narito, tinatawag nating mapapalad ang nangagtiis: inyong nabalitaan ang pagtitiis ni Job, at inyong nakita ang pinapangyari ng Panginoon, kung gaano ang lubos na pagkahabag at ang pagkamaawain ng Panginoon.
12 Nguni't higit sa lahat ng mga bagay, mga kapatid ko, ay huwag ninyong ipanumpa, kahit ang langit, ni ang lupa, ni ang anomang ibang sumpa: kundi ang inyong oo, ay maging oo; at ang inyong hindi, ay maging hindi; upang kayo'y huwag mangahulog sa ilalim ng hatol.
13 Nagbabata baga ang sinoman sa inyo? siya'y manalangin. Natutuwa ang sinoman? awitin niya ang mga pagpupuri.
14 May sakit baga ang sinoman sa inyo? ipatawag niya ang mga matanda sa iglesia; at ipanalangin nila siya, na pahiran nila ng langis sa pangalan ng Panginoon:
15 At ang panalangin ng pananampalataya ay magliligtas sa may sakit, at ibabangon siya ng Panginoon; at kung nagkasala siya, ay ipatatawad sa kaniya.
16 Mangagpahayagan nga kayo sa isa't isa ng inyong mga kasalanan, at ipanalangin ng isa't isa ang iba, upang kayo'y magsigaling. Malaki ang nagagawa ng maningas na panalangin ng taong matuwid.
17 Si Elias ay isang taong may pagkataong gaya rin ng atin, at siya'y nanalangin ng buong ningas upang huwag umulan; at hindi umulan sa lupa sa loob ng tatlong taon at anim na buwan.
18 At muli siyang nanalangin; at ang langit ay nagbigay ng ulan, at ang lupa ay namunga ng kaniyang bunga.
19 Mga kapatid ko, kung ang sinoman sa inyo ay nalilihis sa katotohanan, at siya'y papagbaliking loob ng sinoman;
20 Ay alamin nito na ang nagpapabalik-loob ng isang makasalanan, mula sa kamalian ng lakad niya ay magliligtas ng isang kaluluwa sa kamatayan, at magtatakip ng karamihang kasalanan.
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.

New American Standard Bible
Misuse of Riches
5 (A)Come now, (B)you rich people, (C)weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. 2 (D)Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and your silver have corroded, and their corrosion will [a]serve as a testimony against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is (E)in the last days that you have stored up your treasure! 4 Behold, (F)the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and (G)the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of (H)the Lord [b]of armies. 5 You have [c](I)lived for pleasure on the earth and lived luxuriously; you have [d]fattened your hearts in (J)a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and [e](K)put to death (L)the righteous person; he offers you no resistance.
Exhortation
7 Therefore be patient, (M)brothers and sisters, (N)until the coming of the Lord. (O)The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until [f]it gets (P)the early and late rains. 8 (Q)You too be patient; (R)strengthen your hearts, for (S)the coming of the Lord is (T)near. 9 (U)Do not [g]complain, (V)brothers and sisters, against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, (W)the Judge is standing [h](X)right at the [i]door. 10 As an example, (Y)brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take (Z)the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 We count those (AA)blessed who endured. You have heard of (AB)the [j]endurance of Job and have seen (AC)the [k]outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that (AD)the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
12 But above all, (AE)my brothers and sisters, (AF)do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but [l]your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.
13 Is anyone among you (AG)suffering? (AH)Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to (AI)sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for (AJ)the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, [m](AK)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the (AL)prayer of faith will [n](AM)restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will (AN)raise him up, and if he has committed sins, [o]they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, (AO)confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be (AP)healed. (AQ)A [p]prayer of a righteous person, when it is [q]brought about, can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was (AR)a man with a nature like ours, and (AS)he prayed [r]earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for (AT)three years and six months. 18 Then he (AU)prayed again, and (AV)the sky [s]poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
19 My brothers and sisters, (AW)if anyone among you strays from (AX)the truth and someone turns him back, 20 let him know that the one who has turned a sinner from the error of his way will (AY)save his soul from death and (AZ)cover a multitude of sins.
