1Kom nou, julle rykes, ween en weeklaag oor julle ellendes wat aan die kom is.Ἄγε νῦν οἱ πλούσιοι, κλαύσατε ὀλολύζοντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ταλαιπωρίαις ὑμῶν ταῖς ἐπερχομέναις.Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you. 2Julle rykdom het verrot, en julle klere is deur motte opgevreet,ὁ πλοῦτος ὑμῶν σέσηπεν, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν σητόβρωτα γέγονεν,Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Julle goud en silwer het verroes, en hulle roes sal tot 'n getuienis teen julle wees en julle vlees eet. Julle het soos vuur skatte opgegaar in die laaste dae.

Of: en julle vlees soos vuur eet. Julle het skatte opgegaar in die laaste dae.

ὁ χρυσὸς ὑμῶν καὶ ὁ ἄργυρος κατίωται, καὶ ὁ ἰὸς αὐτῶν εἰς μαρτύριον ὑμῖν ἔσται καὶ φάγεται τὰς σάρκας ὑμῶν· ὡς πῦρ ἐθησαυρίσατε ἐν ἐσχάταις ἡμέραις.Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and consume your flesh like fire. You have hoarded treasure in the last days. 4Kyk, die loon van die arbeiders wat julle landerye afgeoes het, wat deur julle teruggehou is, roep uit, en die krete van die maaiers het in die ore van die Here van die leërskare ingegaan.

Letterlik: Here Sabaot.

ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν ἀμησάντων τὰς χώρας ὑμῶν ὁ ⸀ἀφυστερημένος ἀφʼ ὑμῶν κράζει, καὶ αἱ βοαὶ τῶν θερισάντων εἰς τὰ ὦτα Κυρίου Σαβαὼθ ⸀εἰσεληλύθασιν·Look, the wages you withheld from the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5Julle het op die aarde in weelde geleef en in wellus gelewe, julle het julle harte gevoed op die dag van slagting.

Sommige manuskripte lees: soos op 'n dag van slagting.

ἐτρυφήσατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐσπαταλήσατε, ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ⸀ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς.You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter. 6Julle het veroordeel, julle het die regverdige vermoor. Verset hy hom nie teen julle nie?

Of: Hy verset hom nie teen julle nie. Die Grieks kan as vraag of as stelling gelees word.

κατεδικάσατε, ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον. οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν;You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.

7Wees dan geduldig, broers en susters, tot die koms van die Here. Kyk, die boer wag op die kosbare vrug van die aarde en is geduldig daaroor, totdat hy die vroeë en die laat reën ontvang.

Letterlik: die vroeë en die laat.

Μακροθυμήσατε οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ἕως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου. ἰδοὺ ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς, μακροθυμῶν ἐπʼ ⸀αὐτῷ ἕως ⸀λάβῃ πρόϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον.Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains. 8Wees julle ook geduldig, versterk julle harte, want die koms van die Here het naby gekom.μακροθυμήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς, στηρίξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἡ παρουσία τοῦ κυρίου ἤγγικεν.You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9Moenie teen mekaar sug nie, broers en susters, sodat julle nie geoordeel word nie. Kyk, die Regter staan voor die deure.μὴ στενάζετε, ⸂ἀδελφοί, κατʼ ἀλλήλων⸃, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· ἰδοὺ ὁ κριτὴς πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἕστηκεν.Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door! 10Neem die profete, broers en susters, wat in die Naam van die Here gespreek het, as voorbeeld van lyding en geduld.ὑπόδειγμα λάβετε, ⸀ἀδελφοί, τῆς κακοπαθίας καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας τοὺς προφήτας, οἳ ἐλάλησαν ⸀ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι κυρίου.Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11Kyk, ons noem gelukkig dié wat volhard het. Julle het van die volharding van Job gehoor en die uiteinde van die Here gesien, dat die Here vol medelye en barmhartig is.

Of: die doel van die Here.

ἰδοὺ μακαρίζομεν τοὺς ⸀ὑπομείναντας· τὴν ὑπομονὴν Ἰὼβ ἠκούσατε, καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίου ⸀εἴδετε, ὅτι πολύσπλαγχνός ἐστιν ⸂ὁ κύριος⸃ καὶ οἰκτίρμων.See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

12Maar bo alles, my broers en susters, moenie sweer nie, nie by die hemel nie, nie by die aarde nie, en ook nie met enige ander eed nie; maar laat julle ja ja wees en julle nee nee, sodat julle nie onder die oordeel val nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: sodat julle nie in huigelary val nie.

Πρὸ πάντων δέ, ἀδελφοί μου, μὴ ὀμνύετε, μήτε τὸν οὐρανὸν μήτε τὴν γῆν μήτε ἄλλον τινὰ ὅρκον· ἤτω δὲ ὑμῶν τὸ Ναὶ ναὶ καὶ τὸ Οὒ οὔ, ἵνα μὴ ⸂ὑπὸ κρίσιν⸃ πέσητε.Above all, my brothers, do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your “Yes” be yes, and your “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

13Ly iemand onder julle? Laat hom bid. Is iemand opgeruimd? Laat hom lofsing.Κακοπαθεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσευχέσθω· εὐθυμεῖ τις; ψαλλέτω.Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises. 14Is iemand onder julle siek? Laat hom die ouderlinge van die gemeente roep, en laat hulle oor hom bid en hom in die Naam van die Here met olie salf.ἀσθενεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσκαλεσάσθω τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἀλείψαντες ⸀αὐτὸν ἐλαίῳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου·Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15En die gebed van die geloof sal die sieke red, en die Here sal hom oprig; en as hy sondes gedoen het, sal dit hom vergewe word.

Of: genees.

καὶ ἡ εὐχὴ τῆς πίστεως σώσει τὸν κάμνοντα, καὶ ἐγερεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος· κἂν ἁμαρτίας ᾖ πεποιηκώς, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ.And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Bely dan julle sondes aan mekaar en bid vir mekaar, sodat julle genees kan word. Die smeekgebed van 'n regverdige vermag veel wanneer dit werksaam is.

Sommige manuskripte lees: julle oortredings.

Of: Die kragtige smeekgebed van 'n regverdige vermag veel.

ἐξομολογεῖσθε ⸀οὖν ἀλλήλοις ⸂τὰς ἁμαρτίας⸃ καὶ ⸀εὔχεσθε ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων, ὅπως ἰαθῆτε. πολὺ ἰσχύει δέησις δικαίου ἐνεργουμένη.Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

17Elia was 'n mens met dieselfde gevoelens as ons, en hy het ernstig gebid dat dit nie sou reën nie, en dit het nie op die aarde gereën nie, drie jaar en ses maande lank.

Letterlik: en hy het met gebed gebid.

Ἠλίας ἄνθρωπος ἦν ὁμοιοπαθὴς ἡμῖν, καὶ προσευχῇ προσηύξατο τοῦ μὴ βρέξαι, καὶ οὐκ ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐνιαυτοὺς τρεῖς καὶ μῆνας ἕξ·Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18En weer het hy gebid, en die hemel het reën gegee en die aarde het sy vrug laat uitspruit.καὶ πάλιν προσηύξατο, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ⸂ὑετὸν ἔδωκεν⸃ καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς.Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.

19My broers en susters, as iemand onder julle van die waarheid afdwaal en iemand hom terugbring,Ἀδελφοί ⸀μου, ἐάν τις ἐν ὑμῖν πλανηθῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ ἐπιστρέψῃ τις αὐτόν,My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20laat hy weet dat hy wat 'n sondaar van die dwaling van sy weg terugbring, sy siel van die dood sal red en 'n menigte sondes sal bedek.

Sommige manuskripte lees: 'n siel van die dood sal red.

Of: sy lewe.

⸀γινωσκέτω ὅτι ὁ ἐπιστρέψας ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐκ πλάνης ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ σώσει ψυχὴν ⸀αὐτοῦ ἐκ θανάτου καὶ καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν.consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
