GNT

1 ἄγε νῦν οἱ πλούσιοι, κλαύσατε ὀλολύζοντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ταλαιπωρίαις ὑμῶν ταῖς ἐπερχομέναις.

2 ὁ πλοῦτος ὑμῶν σέσηπεν καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν σητόβρωτα γέγονεν,

3 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.

4 ἰδοὺ ὁ μισθὸς τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν ἀμησάντων τὰς χώρας ὑμῶν ὁ ἀπεστερημένος ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν κράζει, καὶ αἱ βοαὶ τῶν θερισάντων εἰς τὰ ὦτα κυρίου σαβαὼθ εἰσεληλύθασιν.

5 ἐτρυφήσατε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐσπαταλήσατε, ἐθρέψατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σφαγῆς.

6 κατεδικάσατε, ἐφονεύσατε τὸν δίκαιον. οὐκ ἀντιτάσσεται ὑμῖν.

7 μακροθυμήσατε οὗν, ἀδελφοί, ἕως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου. ἰδοὺ ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς, μακροθυμῶν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶ ἕως λάβῃ πρόϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον.

8 μακροθυμήσατε καὶ ὑμεῖς, στηρίξατε τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἡ παρουσία τοῦ κυρίου ἤγγικεν.

9 μὴ στενάζετε, ἀδελφοί, κατ᾽ ἀλλήλων, ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· ἰδοὺ ὁ κριτὴς πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν ἕστηκεν.

10 ὑπόδειγμα λάβετε, ἀδελφοί, τῆς κακοπαθίας καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας τοὺς προφήτας, οἳ ἐλάλησαν ἐν τῶ ὀνόματι κυρίου.

11 ἰδοὺ μακαρίζομεν τοὺς ὑπομείναντας· τὴν ὑπομονὴν ἰὼβ ἠκούσατε, καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίου εἴδετε, ὅτι πολύσπλαγχνός ἐστιν ὁ κύριος καὶ οἰκτίρμων.

12 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.

13 κακοπαθεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσευχέσθω· εὐθυμεῖ τις; ψαλλέτω.

14 ἀσθενεῖ τις ἐν ὑμῖν; προσκαλεσάσθω τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ προσευξάσθωσαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν ἀλείψαντες [αὐτὸν] ἐλαίῳ ἐν τῶ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου·

15 καὶ ἡ εὐχὴ τῆς πίστεως σώσει τὸν κάμνοντα, καὶ ἐγερεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος· κἂν ἁμαρτίας ᾖ πεποιηκώς, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῶ.

16 ἐξομολογεῖσθε οὗν ἀλλήλοις τὰς ἁμαρτίας καὶ εὔχεσθε ὑπὲρ ἀλλήλων, ὅπως ἰαθῆτε. πολὺ ἰσχύει δέησις δικαίου ἐνεργουμένη.

17 ἠλίας ἄνθρωπος ἦν ὁμοιοπαθὴς ἡμῖν, καὶ προσευχῇ προσηύξατο τοῦ μὴ βρέξαι, καὶ οὐκ ἔβρεξεν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἐνιαυτοὺς τρεῖς καὶ μῆνας ἕξ·

18 καὶ πάλιν προσηύξατο, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ὑετὸν ἔδωκεν καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς.

19 ἀδελφοί μου, ἐάν τις ἐν ὑμῖν πλανηθῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ ἐπιστρέψῃ τις αὐτόν,

20 γινωσκέτω ὅτι ὁ ἐπιστρέψας ἁμαρτωλὸν ἐκ πλάνης ὁδοῦ αὐτοῦ σώσει ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐκ θανάτου καὶ καλύψει πλῆθος ἁμαρτιῶν.

1  Go to³³ now,³⁵⁶⁸ ye rich men,⁴¹⁴⁵ weep²⁷⁹⁹ and howl³⁶⁴⁹ for¹⁹⁰⁹ your⁵²¹⁶ miseries⁵⁰⁰⁴ that shall come upon¹⁹⁰⁴ you.

2  Your⁵²¹⁶ riches⁴¹⁴⁹ are corrupted,⁴⁵⁹⁵ and²⁵³² your⁵²¹⁶ garments²⁴⁴⁰ are¹⁰⁹⁶ motheaten.⁴⁵⁹⁸

3  Your⁵²¹⁶ gold⁵⁵⁵⁷ and²⁵³² silver⁶⁹⁶ is cankered;²⁷²⁸ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ rust²⁴⁴⁷ of them⁸⁴⁶ shall be²⁰⁷¹ a¹⁵¹⁹ witness³¹⁴² against you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² shall eat⁵³¹⁵ your⁵²¹⁶ flesh⁴⁵⁶¹ as it were⁵⁶¹³ fire.⁴⁴⁴² Ye have heaped treasure together²³⁴³ for¹⁷²² the last²⁰⁷⁸ days.²²⁵⁰

4  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ hire³⁴⁰⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ laborers²⁰⁴⁰ who have reaped down²⁷⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ fields,⁵⁵⁶¹ which is of⁵⁷⁵ you⁵²¹⁶ kept back by fraud,⁶⁵⁰ crieth:²⁸⁹⁶ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ cries⁹⁹⁴ of them which have reaped²³²⁵ are entered¹⁵²⁵ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ ears³⁷⁷⁵ of the Lord²⁹⁶² of Sabaoth.⁴⁵¹⁹

5  Ye have lived in pleasure⁵¹⁷¹ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² been wanton;⁴⁶⁸⁴ ye have nourished⁵¹⁴² your⁵²¹⁶ hearts,²⁵⁸⁸ as in¹⁷²² a day²²⁵⁰ of slaughter.⁴⁹⁶⁷

6  Ye have condemned²⁶¹³ and killed⁵⁴⁰⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ just;¹³⁴² and he doth not³⁷⁵⁶ resist⁴⁹⁸ you.⁵²¹³

7  Be patient³¹¹⁴ therefore,³⁷⁶⁷ brethren,⁸⁰ unto²¹⁹³ the³⁵⁸⁸ coming³⁹⁵² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord.²⁹⁶² Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ husbandman¹⁰⁹² waiteth for¹⁵⁵¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ precious⁵⁰⁹³ fruit²⁵⁹⁰ of the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ and²⁵³² hath long patience³¹¹⁴ for¹⁹⁰⁹ it,⁸⁴⁶ until^{2193 302} he receive²⁹⁸³ the early⁴⁴⁰⁶ and²⁵³² latter³⁷⁹⁷ rain.⁵²⁰⁵

8  Be ye also patient;^{3114 5210 2532} establish⁴⁷⁴¹ your⁵²¹⁶ hearts:²⁵⁸⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ coming³⁹⁵² of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² draweth nigh.¹⁴⁴⁸

9  Grudge⁴⁷²⁷ not³³⁶¹ one against another,^{240 2596} brethren,⁸⁰ lest³³⁶³ ye be condemned:²⁶³² behold,²⁴⁰⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ judge²⁹²³ standeth²⁴⁷⁶ before⁴²⁵³ the³⁵⁸⁸ door.²³⁷⁴

10  Take,²⁹⁸³ my³⁴⁵⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ the³⁵⁸⁸ prophets,⁴³⁹⁶ who³⁷³⁹ have spoken²⁹⁸⁰ in the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the Lord,²⁹⁶² for an example⁵²⁶² of suffering affliction,²⁵⁵² and²⁵³² of patience.³¹¹⁵

11  Behold,²⁴⁰⁰ we count them happy³¹⁰⁶ which endure.⁵²⁷⁸ Ye have heard¹⁹¹ of the³⁵⁸⁸ patience⁵²⁸¹ of Job,²⁴⁹² and²⁵³² have seen¹⁴⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ end⁵⁰⁵⁶ of the Lord;²⁹⁶² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² is²⁰⁷⁶ very pitiful,⁴¹⁸⁴ and²⁵³² of tender mercy.³⁶²⁹

12  But¹¹⁶¹ above⁴²⁵³ all things,³⁹⁵⁶ my³⁴⁵⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ swear³⁶⁶⁰ not,³³⁶¹ neither³³⁸³ by heaven,³⁷⁷² neither³³⁸³ by the³⁵⁸⁸ earth,¹⁰⁹³ neither³³⁸³ by any²⁴³ other⁵¹⁰⁰ oath:³⁷²⁷ but¹¹⁶¹ let your⁵²¹⁶ yea³⁴⁸³ be²²⁷⁷ yea;³⁴⁸³ and²⁵³² your³⁵⁸⁸ nay,³⁷⁵⁶ nay;³⁷⁵⁶ lest³³⁶³ ye fall⁴⁰⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ condemnation.⁵²⁷²

13  Is any among you afflicted?^{2553 5100 1722 5213} let him pray.⁴³³⁶ Is any merry?^{2114 5100} let him sing psalms.⁵⁵⁶⁷

14  Is any sick^{770 5100} among¹⁷²² you?⁵²¹³ let him call for⁴³⁴¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ elders⁴²⁴⁵ of the³⁵⁸⁸ church;¹⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² let them pray⁴³³⁶ over¹⁹⁰⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶ anointing²¹⁸ him⁸⁴⁶ with oil¹⁶³⁷ in¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord:²⁹⁶²

15  And²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ prayer²¹⁷¹ of faith⁴¹⁰² shall save⁴⁹⁸² the³⁵⁸⁸ sick,²⁵⁷⁷ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² shall raise him up;^{1453 846} and if²⁵⁷⁹ he have⁵⁶⁰⁰ committed⁴¹⁶⁰ sins,²⁶⁶ they shall be forgiven⁸⁶³ him.⁸⁴⁶

16  Confess¹⁸⁴³ your faults³⁹⁰⁰ one to another,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² pray²¹⁷² one for another,^{240 5228} that³⁷⁰⁴ ye may be healed.²³⁹⁰ The effectual fervent¹⁷⁵⁴ prayer¹¹⁶² of a righteous man¹³⁴² availeth²⁴⁸⁰ much.⁴¹⁸³

17  Elijah²²⁴³ was²²⁵⁸ a man⁴⁴⁴ subject to like passions³⁶⁶³ as we²²⁵⁴ are, and²⁵³² he prayed earnestly^{4336 4335} that it might not³³⁶¹ rain:¹⁰²⁶ and²⁵³² it rained¹⁰²⁶ not³⁷⁵⁶ on¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ by the space of three⁵¹⁴⁰ years¹⁷⁶³ and²⁵³² six¹⁸⁰³ months.³³⁷⁶

18  And²⁵³² he prayed⁴³³⁶ again,³⁸²⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ heaven³⁷⁷² gave¹³²⁵ rain,⁵²⁰⁵ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ earth¹⁰⁹³ brought forth⁹⁸⁵ her⁸⁴⁸ fruit.²⁵⁹⁰

19  Brethren,⁸⁰ if¹⁴³⁷ any⁵¹⁰⁰ of¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ do err⁴¹⁰⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth,²²⁵ and²⁵³² one⁵¹⁰⁰ convert¹⁹⁹⁴ him;⁸⁴⁶

20  Let him know,¹⁰⁹⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ he which converteth¹⁹⁹⁴ the sinner²⁶⁸ from¹⁵³⁷ the error⁴¹⁰⁶ of his⁸⁴⁶ way³⁵⁹⁸ shall save⁴⁹⁸² a soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ from¹⁵³⁷ death,²²⁸⁸ and²⁵³² shall hide²⁵⁷² a multitude⁴¹²⁸ of sins.²⁶⁶

1 Agite nunc divites, plorate ululantes in miseriis vestris, quæ advenient vobis.

2 Divitiæ vestræ putrefactæ sunt, et vestimenta vestra a tineis comesta sunt.

3 Aurum et argentum vestrum æruginavit: et ærugo eorum in testimonium vobis erit, et manducabit carnes vestras sicut ignis. Thesaurizastis vobis iram in novissimis diebus.

4 Ecce merces operariorum, qui messuerunt regiones vestras, quæ fraudata est a vobis, clamat: et clamor eorum in aures Domini sabbaoth introivit.

5 Epulati estis super terram, et in luxuriis enutristis corda vestra in die occisionis.

6 Addixistis, et occidistis justum, et non resistit vobis.

7 Patientes igitur estote, fratres, usque ad adventum Domini. Ecce agricola exspectat pretiosum fructum terræ, patienter ferens donec accipiat temporaneum et serotinum.

8 Patientes igitur estote et vos, et confirmate corda vestra: quoniam adventus Domini appropinquavit.

9 Nolite ingemiscere, fratres, in alterutrum, ut non judicemini. Ecce judex ante januam assistit.

10 Exemplum accipite, fratres, exitus mali, laboris, et patientiæ, prophetas qui locuti sunt in nomine Domini.

11 Ecce beatificamus eos qui sustinuerunt. Sufferentiam Job audistis, et finem Domini vidistis, quoniam misericors Dominus est, et miserator.

12 Ante omnia autem, fratres mei, nolite jurare, neque per cælum, neque per terram, neque aliud quodcumque juramentum. Sit autem sermo vester: Est, est: Non, non: ut non sub judicio decidatis.

13 Tristatur aliquis vestrum? oret. Æquo animo est? psallat.

14 Infirmatur quis in vobis? inducat presbyteros ecclesiæ, et orent super eum, ungentes eum oleo in nomine Domini:

15 et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum, et alleviabit eum Dominus: et si in peccatis sit, remittentur ei.

16 Confitemini ergo alterutrum peccata vestra, et orate pro invicem ut salvemini: multum enim valet deprecatio justi assidua.

17 Elias homo erat similis nobis passibilis: et oratione oravit ut non plueret super terram, et non pluit annos tres, et menses sex.

18 Et rursum oravit: et cælum dedit pluviam, et terra dedit fructum suum.

19 Fratres mei, si quis ex vobis erraverit a veritate, et converterit quis eum:

20 scire debet quoniam qui converti fecerit peccatorem ab errore viæ suæ, salvabit animam ejus a morte, et operiet multitudinem peccatorum.
