1嗐!你们这些富足人哪,应当哭泣、,因为将有苦难临到你们身上。Come now, you who are rich, weep and wail over the misery to come upon you.

2你们的财物坏了,衣服也被虫子咬了。Your riches have rotted and moths have eaten your clothes.

3你们的金银都长了;那锈要证明你们的不是,又要吃你们的肉,如同火烧。你们在这只知积攒钱财。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.

4工人给你们收割庄稼,你们亏欠他们的,这工钱有声音呼叫,并且那收割之人的冤声已经入了的耳了。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.

5你们在世上享美福,好宴乐,当宰杀的日子竟你们的心。You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.

6你们定了义人的罪,把他杀害,他也不抵挡你们。You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.

7弟兄们哪,你们要忍耐,直到主来。看哪,农夫忍耐等候地里宝贵的出产,直到得了。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.

8你们也当忍耐,你们的心,因为主来的日子近了。You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.

9弟兄们,你们不要彼此,免得受审判。看哪,审判的主站在门前了。Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!

10弟兄们,你们要把那先前奉主名说话的众先知当作能受苦能忍耐的榜样。Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

11那先前忍耐的人,我们称他们是有福的。你们听见过的忍耐,也知道主给他的结局,明显主是,大有慈悲。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.

12我的弟兄们,最要紧的是不可;不可指着天起誓,也不可指着地起誓,无论何誓都不可起。你们说话,是,就说是;不是,就说不是,免得你们落在审判之下。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.

13你们中间有受苦的呢,他就该祷告;有喜乐的呢,他就该。Is any one of you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.

14你们中间有病了的呢,他就该请教会的来;他们可以奉主的名,为他祷告。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.

15出于信心的祈祷要那病人,主必叫他起来;他若犯了罪,也必蒙赦免。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.

16所以你们要彼此认罪,互相代求,使你们可以得医治。义人祈祷所发的力量是的。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.

17与我们是的人,他恳切祷告,求不要下雨,雨就三年零六个月不下在地上。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.

18他又祷告,天就降下雨来,地也生出土产。Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops.

19我的弟兄们,你们中间若有真道的,有人使他回转,My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,

20这人该知道:叫一个罪人从迷路上转回便是救一个灵魂不死,并且。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.
