Ἐθησαυρίσατε You have treasured up ἐν in ἐσχάταις [the] last ἡμέραις. days. ἰδού Behold, ὁ the μισθός wage τῶν of the ἐργατῶν workmen τῶν - ἀμησάντων having harvested τάς the χώρας fields ὑμῶν of you, ὁ - ἀφυστερημένος having been kept back ἀφ ̓ by ὑμῶν you, κράζει, cries out, καί and αἱ the βοαί cries τῶν of those θερισάντων having harvested, εἰς into τά the ὦτα ears Κυρίου of [the] Lord Σαβαώθ of Hosts εἰσεληλύθασιν. have entered.

Μακροθυμήσατε Be patient οὖν, therefore, ἀδελφοί, brothers, ἕως until τῆς the παρουσίας coming τοῦ of the Κυρίου.

[is] merciful.

Πρό Before πάντων all things δέ, however, ἀδελφοί brothers μου, of me, μή not ὀμνύετε swear, μήτε neither [by] τόν - οὐρανόν heaven, μήτε nor τήν the γῆν earth, μήτε nor ἄλλον other τινά any ὅρκον· oath. ἤτω Be δέ however ὑμῶν of you τό the Ναί Yes, ναί yes, καί and τό the Οὔ No, οὔ, no, ἵνα so that μή not ὑπό under κρίσιν judgment πέσητε. you might fall.

Ἐξομολογεῖσθε Confess οὖν therefore ἀλλήλοις to one another τάς the ἁμαρτίας sins, καί and εὔχεσθε pray ὑπέρ for ἀλλήλων, one another, ὅπως so that ἰαθῆτε. you may be healed. πολύ Much ἰσχύει prevails δέησις [the] prayer δικαίου of a righteous [man] ἐνεργουμένη. being made effective. Ἠλίας Elijah ἄνθρωπος a man ἦν was ὁμοιοπαθής of like nature ἡμῖν to us, καί and προσευχῇ with fervent prayer προσηύξατο he prayed [for it] τοῦ - μή not βρέξαι, to rain, καί and οὐ not ἔβρεξεν it did rain ἐπί upon τῆς the γῆς earth ἐνιαυτούς years τρεῖς three καί and μῆνας months ἕξ· six. καί And πάλιν again προσηύξατο, he prayed, καί and ὁ the οὐρανός heaven ὑετόν rain ἔδωκεν gave, καί and ἡ the γῆ earth ἐβλάστησεν produced τόν the καρπόν fruit αὐτῆς. of it.
