| [1]O ye rich ones, wail and weep, on account of the miseries that are coming upon you. |
[1]αγε νυν οι πλουσιοι κλαυσατε ολολυζοντες επι ταις ταλαιπωριαις υμων ταις επερχομεναις |
| [2]For your wealth is spoiled and putrid; and your garments are moth-eaten: |
[2]ο πλουτος υμων σεσηπεν και τα ιματια υμων σητοβρωτα γεγονεν |
| [3]and your gold and your silver have contracted rust; and the rust of them will be testimony against you; and it will eat your flesh. Ye have heaped up a fire to you against the latter days. |
[3]ο χρυσος υμων και ο αργυρος κατιωται και ο ιος αυτων εις μαρτυριον υμιν εσται και φαγεται τας σαρκας υμων ως πυρ εθησαυρισατε εν εσχαταις ημεραις |
| [4]Behold, the wages of the laborers who have reaped your ground, which ye have wrongfully retained, crieth out; and the clamor of the reapers hath entered the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. |
[4]ιδου ο μισθος των εργατων των αμησαντων τας χωρας υμων ο αφυστερημενος απεστερημενος αφ υμων κραζει και αι βοαι των θερισαντων εις τα ωτα κυριου σαβαωθ εισεληλυθαν εισεληλυθασιν |
| [5]For ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and revelled, and feasted your bodies as in a day of slaughter. |
[5]ετρυφησατε επι της γης και εσπαταλησατε εθρεψατε τας καρδιας υμων εν ημερα σφαγης |
| [6]Ye have condemned and slain the just, and none resisted you. |
[6]κατεδικασατε εφονευσατε τον δικαιον ουκ αντιτασσεται υμιν |
| [7]But, my brethren, be ye patient until the advent of the Lord; like the husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruits of his ground, and is patient as to them, until he receive the early and the latter rain. |
[7]μακροθυμησατε ουν αδελφοι εως της παρουσιας του κυριου ιδου ο γεωργος εκδεχεται τον τιμιον καρπον της γης μακροθυμων επ αυτω εως λαβη προιμον και οψιμον |
| [8]So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh |
[8]μακροθυμησατε και υμεις στηριξατε τας καρδιας υμων οτι η παρουσια του κυριου ηγγικεν |
| [9]Be not querulous one against another, my brethren, lest ye be judged: for lo, the judgment , standeth before the door. |
[9]μη στεναζετε αδελφοι κατ αλληλων ινα μη κριθητε ιδου ο κριτης προ των θυρων εστηκεν |
| [10]For patience in your afflictions, my brethren, take to you the example of the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord. |
[10]υποδειγμα λαβετε αδελφοι της κακοπαθιας και της μακροθυμιας τους προφητας οι ελαλησαν εν τω ονοματι κυριου |
| [11]For lo, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; and ye have seen the result which the Lord wrought for him: for the Lord is merciful and compassionate. |
[11]ιδου μακαριζομεν τους υπομειναντας την υπομονην ιωβ ηκουσατε και το τελος κυριου ειδετε οτι πολυσπλαγχνος εστιν ο κυριος και οικτιρμων |
| [12]But above all things, my brethren, swear ye not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your language be yes, yes, and no, no, lest ye become obnoxious to judgment. |
[12]προ παντων δε αδελφοι μου μη ομνυετε μητε τον ουρανον μητε την γην μητε αλλον τινα ορκον ητω δε υμων το ναι ναι και το ου ου ινα μη υπο κρισιν πεσητε |
| [13]And if any of you shall be in affliction, let him pray; or if he be joyous, let him sing psalms. |
[13]κακοπαθει τις εν υμιν προσευχεσθω ευθυμει τις ψαλλετω |
| [14]And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord: |
[14]ασθενει τις εν υμιν προσκαλεσασθω τους πρεσβυτερους της εκκλησιας και προσευξασθωσαν επ αυτον αλειψαντες [αυτον] ελαιω εν τω ονοματι [του κυριου] του κυριου |
| [15]and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven him. |
[15]και η ευχη της πιστεως σωσει τον καμνοντα και εγερει αυτον ο κυριος καν αμαρτιας η πεποιηκως αφεθησεται αυτω |
| [16]And confess ye your faults one to another, and pray ye one for another, that ye may be healed; for great is the efficacy of the prayer which a righteous man prayeth. |
[16]εξομολογεισθε ουν αλληλοις τας αμαρτιας και προσευχεσθε ευχεσθε υπερ αλληλων οπως ιαθητε πολυ ισχυει δεησις δικαιου ενεργουμενη |
| [17]Elijah also was a man of sensations like us, and he prayed that rain might not descend upon the earth; and it descended not, for three years and six months. |
[17]ηλιας ανθρωπος ην ομοιοπαθης ημιν και προσευχη προσηυξατο του μη βρεξαι και ουκ εβρεξεν επι της γης ενιαυτους τρεις και μηνας εξ |
| [18]And again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth gave forth its fruits. |
[18]και παλιν προσηυξατο και ο ουρανος υετον εδωκεν και η γη εβλαστησεν τον καρπον αυτης |
| [19]My brethren, if one of you err from the way of truth, and any one convert him from his error; |
[19]αδελφοι μου εαν τις εν υμιν πλανηθη απο της αληθειας και επιστρεψη τις αυτον |
| [20]let him know, that he who turneth the sinner from the error of his way, will resuscitate his soul from death, and will cover the multitude of his sins.End of the Epistle of James, the Legate. |
[20]γινωσκετε γινωσκετω οτι ο επιστρεψας αμαρτωλον εκ πλανης οδου αυτου σωσει ψυχην αυτου εκ θανατου και καλυψει πληθος αμαρτιων |
