Jame 1
1 Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
2 Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
3 Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
4 Uehnah loh khoboe te a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;
5 Nangmih khuiah khat khat loh cueihnah a vawt atah kohuet kolla hawt boeih aka pae Pathen taengah bih saeh lamtah anih te a paek bitni.
and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, 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.
and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
7 Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord —
8 Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.
9 Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
10 Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall 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 did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
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.
Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving 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 one say, being tempted — 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
14 Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
15 Hoehhamnah loh a cuen dongah tholhnah a cun. Tholhnah loh a ham vaengah dueknah a cun.
afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
16 Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
17 Doedannah then boeih neh lungcuei kutdoe tah a so lamkah ni. Pa kah vangnah khui lamkah ha suntla coeng. Anih taengah poehlipnah neh hoilaenah mueihlip a om moenih.
every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or 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.
having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit 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 then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnah te a saii moenih.
for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
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 having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
22 Ol aka rhoihkung la om uh lamtah aka yakung dawk loh amah te yoek uh boel saeh.
and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23 Khat khat loh ol yakung la om tih a rhoihkung pawt atah, anih te hmaidan dongah a rhuirhong kah maelhmai aka dan hlang banghui ni.
because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing 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 did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
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.
and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy 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 doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
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.
religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
