Jame 1
1 Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
2 Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
3 Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
4 Uehnah loh khoboete a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Nangmih khuiah khat khat loh cueihnah a vawt atah kohuet kolla hawt boeih aka pae Pathen taengah bih saeh lamtah anihte a paek bitni.
But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
6 Tedae boelhkhoeh kolla tangnah neh bih saeh. Aka boelhkhoeh tah tuili kah tuiphu aka niknuk neh aka kilkul banghui ni.
but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
7 Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
8 Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
[he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
10 Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
11 Khomik loh a linglai neh a thoeng vaengah khopol te koh. Rhaipai khaw rhul tih a maelhmai kah mueithen long khaw tlum. Kuirhang khaw a caehlong ah muei tangloeng.
For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
12 Yoethen hlang long tah noemcainah a ueh. Ueppang la aka om long ni hingnah rhuisam te a dang eh. Te tah amah aka lungnah rhoek ham a kam pah coeng.
Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
13 Noemcai vaegah Pathen loh n'noemcai ti boel saeh. Pathen ham tah a thae he hnalbat la om tih amah khaw a noemcai moenih.
Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
14 Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
15 Hoehhamnah loh a cuen dongah tholhnah a cun. Tholhnah loh a ham vaengah dueknah a cun.
then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
16 Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Doedannah then boeih neh lungcuei kutdoe tah a so lamkah ni. Pa kah vangnahkhui lamkah ha suntla coeng. Anih taengah poehlipnah neh hoilaenah mueihlip a om moenih.
Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
18 A kutngo khuiah thaihcuek pakhat la mamih om sak ham ni oltak kah a ngaih vanbangla a ol loh mamih n'cun.
According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.
19 Ka thintlo manuca rhoek ming uh lah. Hlang boeih loh hnatun ham te voeiloe la, cal ham te a hnong a yai la, thintoek ham khaw a hnong a yai la om saeh.
So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnahte a saii moenih.
for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
21 Te dongah khoboe rhong neh phayoenah dongkah baecoihnah te boeih hnawt uh. Na hinglu khang ham aka coeng thai mutue ol te muelhtuetnah neh doe uh.
Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Ol aka rhoihkung la om uh lamtah aka yakung dawk loh amah te yoek uh boel saeh.
But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
23 Khat khat loh ol yakung la omtih a rhoihkung pawt atah, anih te hmaidan dongah a rhuirhong kah maelhmai aka dan hlang banghui ni.
For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
24 Amah te hmat uh coeng dae a caeh nen tah metla a om khaw hnap a hmaai.
for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
25 Tedae poenghalnah lungcuei olkhueng te aka so tih aka om thil, aka yakung te aka hnilhkung la om pawt tih khoboe neh aka rhoihkung, yoethen long tah a bibi neh om ni.
But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
26 Khat khat loh aka cuep la a ngai uh tih a ol a tuem kolla, a thinko a hmil a hmak atah, anih kah bawknah tah a honghi ni.
If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pa neh Pathen hmaiah amih phacip phabaem khuikah cadah rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te hip ham, amah neh amah Diklai lamkah cuemhmuet la cue uh he ni aka cuem aka caih bawknah la a om.
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
