Jame 5
1 Kuirhang rhoek te maerhae coeng, na ngaidaengnah aka thoeng te rhah neh vuek thil uh.
O ye rich ones, wail and weep, on account of the miseries that are coming upon you.
2 Na khuehtawn loh hmawn coeng tih na himbai khaw keet la poeh coeng.
For your wealth is spoiled and putrid; and your garments are moth-eaten:
3 Na sui neh ngun khaw aek coeng. A sue te nangmih taengah mingpha la om vetih na saa te hmai bangla a caak ni. Khohnin hnukkhueng dongah ni na tung uh coeng.
and your gold and your silver have contracted rust; and the rust of them will be testimony against you; and it will eat your flesh. Ye have heaped up a fire to you against the latter days.
4 Na lo na ah te bibikung kah thapang na hmil pah long te namamih n'doek coeng he. Aka at rhoek kah a pang loh caempuei boeipa kah a hna khuila kun coeng.
Behold, the wages of the laborers who have reaped your ground, which ye have wrongfully retained, crieth out; and the clamor of the reapers hath entered the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
5 Diklai hmanah na pumdom uh tih omthen na bawn uh, maeh tue vaengkah bangla na thinko te na khut uh.
For ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and revelled, and feasted your bodies as in a day of slaughter.
6 Aka dueng te na boe sak uh tih na ngawn uh dae nangmih te m'pakai moenih.
Ye have condemned and slain the just, and none resisted you.
7 Te dongah manuca rhoek, Boeipa kah a lonah tue duela na thinsen uh mai. Lotawn loh diklai kah a vuei lue te a lamtawn ta. Rhotui neh tlankhol a dang duela a thinsen ta.
But, my brethren, be ye patient until the advent of the Lord; like the husbandman, who waiteth for the precious fruits of his ground, and is patient as to them, until he receive the early and the latter rain.
8 Boeipa a lonah tah a yoei coeng dongah nangmih khaw thinsen uh lamtah na thinko te duel uh laeh.
So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh
9 Manuca rhoek khat neh khat huei uh boeh, te daengah ni lai n'tloek pawt eh. Laitloekkung tah thohka taengah pai coeng ke.
Be not querulous one against another, my brethren, lest ye be judged: for lo, the judgment, standeth before the door.
10 Manuca rhoek, tonghma rhoek kah patangkhang neh thinsennah te moeiboe la loh uh. Amih loh Boeipa ming nen ni a thui uh.
For patience in your afflictions, my brethren, take to you the example of the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 Akah ueh rhoek ni ng'uem uh he. Job kah a uehnah te na yaak uh coeng. A hnukkhueng la hlang rhen kho neh lungma aka ti tah Boeipa ni tila Boeipa te na hmuh uh coeng.
For lo, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; and ye have seen the result which the Lord wrought for him: for the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
12 Tedae ka manuca rhoek, a cungkuem dongah toemngam uh boeh. Vaan khaw, diklai khaw, olhlo thil boeh khaw. Tedae nangmih kah ol te ue atah ue, moenih atah moenih tila rhep om saeh. Te daengah ni laitloeknah hmuiah na cungku uh pawt eh.
But above all things, my brethren, swear ye not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your language be yes, yes, and no, no, lest ye become obnoxious to judgment.
13 Nangmih khuiah pakhat long ni a patang atah thangthui saeh. Pakhat ni a ngai a dip atah tingtoeng sa saeh.
And if any of you shall be in affliction, let him pray; or if he be joyous, let him sing psalms.
14 Nangmih khuiah khat khat ni a tattloel atah hlangboel kah a ham rhoek te khue saeh. Te vaengah anih te Boeipa ming neh thangthui uh thil saeh lamtah situi neh hluk uh saeh.
And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord:
15 Tangnah paipi long tah kobawt khaw a khang vetih anih te Boeipa loh a thoh ni. Tholhnah a saii te om mai cakhaw anih te a hlah ni.
and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven him.
16 Te dongah, tholhnah te patoeng patoeng phong uh lamtah patoeng patoeng thangthui uh. Te daengah ni na hoeih uh eh. Aka dueng rhoek kah rhenbihnah tah bahoeng khangmai tih tueng.
And confess ye your faults one to another, and pray ye one for another, that ye may be healed; for great is the efficacy of the prayer which a righteous man prayeth.
17 Elijah he mamih vanbangla hlang boeiloeih ni. Tedae thangthuinah neh a thangthui vaengah rhotui tlan pawh. Te vaengah diklai ah kum thum neh hla rhuk rhotui tlan pawh.
Elijah also was a man of sensations like us, and he prayed that rain might not descend upon the earth; and it descended not, for three years and six months.
18 Tedae koep a thangthui vaengah vaan loh rhotui a paek tih diklai loh a thaih a cuen sak.
And again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth gave forth its fruits.
19 Ka manuca rhoek, nangmih khuikah khat khat long ni oltak lamkah taengphaelh tih khat khat loh anih a mael puei oeh atah,
My brethren, if one of you err from the way of truth, and any one convert him from his error;
20 A longpuei kah tholhhiknah lamloh, hlangtholh aka mael puei long khaw, dueknah lamkah a hinglu a khang vetih tholh tung a muekdah pah ham te ming saeh.
let him know, that he who turneth the sinner from the error of his way, will resuscitate his soul from death, and will cover the multitude of his sins.
