Notes on this text (1)
- Includes the books not found in the Hebrew Bible (Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 1–3 Maccabees, 2 and 3 Esdras, Prayer of Manasseh), as in the Synodal editions.
1 Послушайте вы, богатые: плачьте и рыдайте о бедствиях ваших, находящих на вас.
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.
2 Богатство ваше сгнило, и одежды ваши изъедены молью.
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3 Золото ваше и серебро изоржавело, и ржавчина их будет свидетельством против вас и съест плоть вашу, как огонь: вы собрали себе сокровище на последние дни.
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
4 Вот, плата, удержанная вами у работников, пожавших поля ваши, вопиет, и вопли жнецов дошли до слуха Господа Саваофа.
4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.
5 Вы роскошествовали на земле и наслаждались; напитали сердца ваши, как бы на день заклания.
5 You have lived in luxury on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.
6 Вы осудили, убили Праведника; Он не противился вам.
6 You have condemned and you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.
7 Итак, братия, будьте долготерпеливы до пришествия Господня. Вот, земледелец ждет драгоценного плода от земли и для него терпит долго, пока получит дождь ранний и поздний.
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
8 Долготерпите и вы, укрепите сердца ваши, потому что пришествие Господне приближается.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9 Не сетуйте, братия, друг на друга, чтобы не быть осужденными: вот, Судия стоит у дверей.
9 Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
10 В пример злострадания и долготерпения возьмите, братия мои, пророков, которые говорили именем Господним.
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Вот, мы ублажаем тех, которые терпели. Вы слышали о терпении Иова и видели конец оного от Господа, ибо Господь весьма милосерд и сострадателен.
11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Прежде же всего, братия мои, не клянитесь ни небом, ни землею, и никакою другою клятвою, но да будет у вас: "да, да" и "нет, нет", дабы вам не подпасть осуждению.
12 But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear—not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.
13 Злостраждет ли кто из вас, пусть молится. Весел ли кто, пусть поет псалмы.
13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
14 Болен ли кто из вас, пусть призовет пресвитеров Церкви, и пусть помолятся над ним, помазав его елеем во имя Господне.
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
15 И молитва веры исцелит болящего, и восставит его Господь; и если он соделал грехи, простятся ему.
15 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 Признавайтесь друг пред другом в проступках и молитесь друг за друга, чтобы исцелиться: много может усиленная молитва праведного.
16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
17 Илия был человек, подобный нам, и молитвою помолился, чтобы не было дождя: и не было дождя на землю три года и шесть месяцев.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.
18 И опять помолился: и небо дало дождь, и земля произрастила плод свой.
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
19 Братия! если кто из вас уклонится от истины, и обратит кто его,
19 Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,
20 пусть тот знает, что обративший грешника от ложного пути его спасет душу от смерти и покроет множество грехов.
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Let us listen to the Apostle James, who states this precept with the greatest clearness when he says, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another." For of this also the Lord gave us the example.

Also, the converting our brethren from their wandering. For, it is said, "Go thou, and convert thy brethren, that thy sins may be forgiven thee." And from one's being in close relations with the priests, "and if," it is said, "a man hath committed sins it shall be forgiven him." ( Jas.
