OET-LV YAC Chapter 5

Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

5 Be _come now, you _all rich ones, weep, wailing over the miseries of _you _all which are coming _over.
2 The riches of _you _all has _rotted, and the clothes of _you _all moth-eaten has _become.
3 The gold of _you _all and the silver has _been _corroded, and the rust of _them for a_testimony to _you _all will _be, and will _be _consuming the fleshes of _you _all like fire.
You _all _stored _up in the_last days.
4 Behold, the wage of _the workers, which having _harvested the fields of _you _all, which having _been _withheld by you _all, is _crying _out, and the outcries of _the ones having _reaped, into the ears of_the_master of _armies have _come _in.
5 You _all _indulged on the earth.
And you _all _lived _luxuriously, you _all _nourished the hearts of _you _all in the_day of _slaughter.
6 You _all _convicted, you _all _murdered the righteous, yet _not he _is _opposing against _you _all.
7 Therefore be _patient, brothers, until the coming of _the master.
Behold, the farmer is _awaiting for _the precious fruit of _the earth, being _patient for it until he _may _receive the_early and late rains.
8 Be _patient also you _all, strengthen the hearts of _you _all, because the coming of _the master has _neared.
9 Not be _groaning, brothers, against one _another, in _order _that not you _all _may _be _judged.
Behold, the judge before the doors has _stood.
10 An_example take, brothers, of_ the _misfortune, and of_ the _patience, the prophets, who spoke in name of_the_master.
11 Behold, we _are _counting _blessed the ones having _endured.
The endurance of _Iōb/(ʼIyyōⱱ) you _all _heard, and the outcome of_the_master you _all _saw, that much _compassionate is the master and compassionate.
12 Before but, all things, brothers of _me, not be _swearing, neither the by _heaven, nor the earth, nor other any oath, but let _be of _you _all your Yes be, yes, and your No be, no, in _order _that not under judgment you _all _may _fall.
13 Is _suffering _hardship anyone among you _all?
Him _let _be _praying.
Is _cheering _up anyone?
Him _let _be _singing _praises.
14 Is _ailing anyone among you _all?
Him _let _call _to the elders of _the assembly, and them _let _pray over him, having _anointed him with _olive _oil in the name of _the master.
15 And the vow of_ the _faith will _be _saving the one faltering, and will _be _raising him the master, and _if sins he _may _be having _done, it _will _be _being _forgiven to _him.
16 Therefore be _confessing to _one _another your sins, and be _praying for one _another, so _that you _all _may _be _healed.
Much is _prevailing the_petition of_a_righteous one working.
17 Aʸlias/(ʼĒliy^yāh) a_man was like _natured to _us, and with _prayer he _prayed which not for _it to _rain, and not it _rained on the earth, three years and six months.
18 And again he _prayed, and the sky rain gave, and the earth sprouted the fruit of _it.
19 Brothers of _me, if anyone among you _all may _be _strayed from the truth, and may _turn _back someone him, 20 be _knowing that the one having _turned _back a_sinner from the_deception of_the_way of _him, will _be _saving the_soul of _him from death, and will _be _covering a_multitude of _sins.
