3 eders Guld og Sølv er rustet op, og deres Rust skal være til Vidnesbyrd imod eder og æde eders Kød som en Ild; I have samlet Skatte i de sidste Dage.
3 Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!
4 Se, den Løn skriger, som I have forholdt Arbejderne, der høstede eders Marker, og Høstfolkenes Råb ere komne ind for den Herre Zebaoths Øren.
4 Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
7 Derfor, værer tålmodige, Brødre! indtil Herrens Tilkommelse. Se, Bonden venter på Jordens dyrebare Frugt og bier tålmodigt efter den, indtil den får tidlig Regn og sildig Regn.
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.
11 Se, vi prise dem salige, som have holdt ud. I have hørt om Jobs Udholdenhed og vide Udfaldet fra Herren; thi Herren er såre medlidende og barmhjertig.
11 We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
12 Men for alting, mine Brødre! sværger ikke, hverken ved Himmelen eller ved Jorden eller nogen anden Ed; men eders Ja være Ja, og Nej være Nej, for at I ikke skulle falde under Dom.
12 But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
16 Bekender derfor Synderne for hverandre og beder for hverandre, for at I må blive helbredte; en retfærdigs Bøn formår meget, når den er alvorlig.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
17 Elias var et Menneske, lige Vilkår undergivet med os, og han bad en Bøn, at det ikke måtte regne; og det regnede ikke på Jorden i tre År og seks Måneder.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
