Advertência contra os ricos egoístas
5 Agora, vocês que são ricos, escutem! Chorem e lamentem, por causa das desgraças que virão sobre vocês. 2 As suas riquezas estão podres e as suas roupas finas foram roídas pela traça. 3 Tanto o ouro como a prata de vocês estão enferrujados e essa ferrugem vai servir de prova contra vocês mesmos e vai devorar seus corpos como fogo. Vocês têm acumulado tesouros inutilmente, pois estes são os últimos dias. 4 Os trabalhadores que ceifaram os campos de vocês e não receberam seus salários, estão clamando. E o clamor dos ceifeiros foi ouvido pelo Senhor Todo-Poderoso[a]. 5 Vocês têm vivido aqui na terra uma vida de luxo e de prazeres. Vocês têm engordado a si mesmos, como animais que estão prontos para o matadouro.[b] 6 Vocês têm condenado e matado pessoas inocentes, sem que elas lhes ofereçam nenhuma resistência.
Sejam pacientes
7 Irmãos, sejam pacientes até a volta do Senhor. Lembrem-se de que o fazendeiro espera pelo precioso fruto da terra. Ele espera com paciência pelas chuvas do outono e da primavera. 8 Vocês também devem esperar com paciência. Não desanimem, pois a volta do Senhor está próxima. 9 Irmãos, não se queixem uns dos outros, para que vocês não sejam condenados. Olhem que o juiz está à porta, pronto para entrar. 10 Irmãos, sigam aqueles profetas que falaram em nome do Senhor como exemplos de sofrimento e paciência. 11 Lembrem-se de que nós os consideramos abençoados, pois eles perseveraram firmes. Vocês têm ouvido a respeito da paciência de Jó[c] e sabem como no final Deus o abençoou, porque o Senhor é misericordioso e compassivo.
12 Acima de tudo, meus irmãos, não jurem nem pelo céu, nem pela terra, nem por qualquer outra coisa. Porém, o sim de vocês deve ser “sim” e o não de vocês deve ser “não”, para que Deus não os condene.
O poder da oração
13 Se alguém entre vocês está sofrendo, ele deve orar. Se alguém está alegre, deve cantar hinos de louvor. 14 Se alguém entre vocês está doente, chame os presbíteros da igreja para orarem por ele e para colocarem óleo sobre ele,[d] em nome do Senhor. 15 E a oração feita com fé fará com que o doente sare, e o Senhor o levantará. E se ele tiver cometido pecados, o Senhor lhe perdoará. 16 Portanto, confessem os seus pecados uns aos outros e orem uns pelos outros para que vocês sejam curados. A oração feita pelo justo é poderosa e eficaz. 17 Elias era um ser humano como nós. Ele orou com insistência para que não chovesse sobre a terra e, por três anos e meio, não choveu. 18 Depois, Elias orou novamente e a chuva tornou a cair e a terra voltou a dar os seus frutos.
A salvação do irmão desviado
19 Meus irmãos, se algum de vocês se desviar da verdade e alguém o fizer voltar, 20 saibam que aquele que faz com que o pecador deixe o seu mau caminho, salvará a alma dele da morte e fará com que muitos pecados sejam perdoados.

Orthodox Jewish Bible
5 Come now, you who have osher (riches), weep, howling over your miseries coming upon you. [YESHAYAH 13:6; YECHEZKEL 30:2]
2 The osher of you has rotted and your malbush has become moth-eaten. [IYOV 13:28; TEHILLIM 39:11; YESHAYAH 50:9]
3 The gold of you and the silver has been corroded and the corrosion of them will be for a solemn eidus against you, and will eat the basar of you as Eish. You stored up otzar (treasure) in the Acharit Hayamim!
4 Hinei, the wages of the po’alim (workers) who cut your fields, the wages you fraudulently withheld, those wages cry out, and the cries of the harvesting po’alim have reached the ears of Adonoi Tz’vaot. [VAYIKRA 19:13; YIRMEYAH 22:13; MALACHI 3:5; DEVARIM 24:15]
5 You lived in indulgence upon ha’aretz and lolled in a life of luxury, you fattened your levavot as in a Yom Tivchah ("Day of Slaughter.” [YIRMEYAH 12:3; 25:34; YESHAYAH 53:7]
6 You condemned, you killed the tzaddik, who does not resist you.
7 Have zitzfleisch (patience), therefore, Achim b’Moshiach, until the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of Moshiach Adoneinu. Hinei, the ikar (farmer) awaits the precious p’ri haAdamah (fruit of the earth), having zitzfleisch (patience) for it until it receives the Yoreh (first autumn rain) and the Malkosh (spring rain). [Dt 11:14; Jer 5:24; Joel 2:23]
8 You must also have zitzfleisch. Strengthen your levavot, because the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of Moshiach Adoneinu, has drawn near.
9 Do not murmur, Achim b’Moshiach, against one another, lest you be judged. Hinei, haShofet is standing before the delet! [SHEMOT 15:24; 16:2; 17:3; BAMIDBAR 14:2,29; 16:41; TEHILLIM 94:2]
10 Achim b’Moshiach, take as an example, of yissurim (suffering) and of zitzfleisch (patience) the Nevi’im who spoke b’Shem Adonoi.
11 Hinei, we call me’ashirim the ones having endured: the enduring orech ru’ach (patience) of Iyov you heard of, and the toitzaa (outcome) from Hashem you saw, that Eloheinu is full of rachamim and channun Hashem. [Job 1:21,22; 2:10; 42:10,12-17; Ex 34:6; Num 14:18; Ps 103:8]
12 But, above all, my Achim b’Moshiach, do not swear shevuot (oaths) neither by Shomayim nor by ha’aretz nor any other shevu’ah, but let your "ken" be "ken," and your "lo" be "lo," for fear that you fall under HaDin (the Judgment).
13 If anyone is suffering among you, let him daven. If anyone has simcha, let him sing niggunim. [Ps 50:15]
14 Are there any cholim (sick ones) among you? Let the choleh (sick person) summon [for Bikkur Cholim (Visiting the Sick)] the Ziknei HaKehillah (Elders of the Congregation) and let them daven tefillos over him, having applied the shemen mishchah (anointing oil), b’Shem Adoneinu. [Ps 23:5; Isa 1:6]
15 And the tefillah of emunah will deliver the choleh (sick person), and Hashem will raise him up. And if he may have been committing peysha’im, he will be given selicha (forgiveness).
16 Therefore, make vidduy (confession of sin) to one another, and daven tefillos on behalf of one another, so that you may have refuah sheleimah (complete healing). The tefillah of a tzaddik is powerful and effective.
17 Eliyahu [HaNavi] was a man of like nature to us, and with tefillah he davened for it not to rain, and it did not rain upon ha’aretz for shalosh shanim and shishah chodashim (three years and six months). [MELACHIM ALEF 17:1]
18 And again Eliyahu [HaNavi] davened, and Shomayim gave GESHEM (rain) and ha’aretz caused its p’ri to sprout. [MELACHIM ALEF 18:45]
19 My Achim b’Moshiach, if anyone among you wanders vait (astray) from HaEmes and someone turns a choteh (sinner) to become a ba’al teshuva
20 You should have da’as that the one having helped a choteh (sinner) to become a ba’al teshuva and to turn from the toyus (error) of his derech, and from setiyah HaDerech Hashem (turning aside or deviating from the Way of Hashem) will save the neshamah of him from mavet and will cover a multitude of chatta’im. [T.N. This may be the earliest writing in the Brit Chadasha. Of royal blood, Ya’akov Bar Yosef Ben Dovid, like Rav Sha’ul, was an unbeliever until he came to faith by the appearance of the Risen Moshiach (see I Cor 15:7). He died al kiddush ha-Shem 62 C.E. according to Josephus. His brother Yehuda wrote the letter on p.1118. See p848.]

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)
