1 Age nunc, divites, plorate ulu lantes in miseriis, quae adve nient vobis.	1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Divitiae vestrae putrefactae sunt, et vestimenta vestra a tineis comesta sunt,	2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 aurum et argentum vestrum aeruginavit, et aerugo eorum in testimonium vobiserit et manducabit carnes vestras sicut ignis: thesaurizastis in novissimisdiebus.	3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Ecce merces operariorum, qui messuerunt regiones vestras, quaefraudata est a vobis, clamat, et clamores eorum, qui messuerunt, in aures DominiSabaoth introierunt.	4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Epulati estis super terram et in luxuriis fuistis,enutristis corda vestra in die occisionis.	5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Addixistis, occidistis iustum. Nonresistit vobis.	6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Patientes igitur estote, fratres, usque ad adventum Domini. Ecce agricolaexspectat pretiosum fructum terrae, patienter ferens, donec accipiat imbremtemporaneum et serotinum.	7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Patientes estote, et vos, confirmate corda vestra,quoniam adventus Domini appropinquavit.	8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Nolite ingemiscere, fratres, inalterutrum, ut non iudicemini; ecce iudex ante ianuam assistit.	9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 Exemplumaccipite, fratres, laboris et patientiae prophetas, qui locuti sunt in nomineDomini.	10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 Ecce beatificamus eos, qui sustinuerunt; sufferentiam Iob audistis etfinem Domini vidistis, quoniam misericors est Dominus et miserator.	11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12 Ante omnia autem, fratres mei, nolite iurare neque per caelum neque perterram, neque aliud quodcumque iuramentum; sit autem vestrum “ Est ” est, et“ Non ” non, uti non sub iudicio decidatis.	12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13 Tristatur aliquis vestrum? Oret. Aequo animo est? Psallat.	13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 Infirmatur quisin vobis? Advocet presbyteros ecclesiae, et orent super eum, unguentes eum oleoin nomine Domini.	14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 Et oratio fidei salvabit infirmum, et allevabit eumDominus; et si peccata operatus fuerit, dimittentur ei.	15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 Confitemini ergoalterutrum peccata et orate pro invicem, ut sanemini. Multum enim valetdeprecatio iusti operans.	16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elias homo erat similis nobis passibilis etoratione oravit, ut non plueret, et non pluit super terram annos tres et mensessex;	17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 et rursum oravit, et caelum dedit pluviam, et terra germinavit fructumsuum.	18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 Fratres mei, si quis ex vobis erraverit a veritate, et converterit quiseum,	19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 scire debet quoniam, qui converti fecerit peccatorem ab errore viaeeius, salvabit animam suam a morte et operiet multitudinem peccatorum.	20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
