Jame 1
1 Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health.
2 Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse trials;
3 Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience.
4 Uehnah loh khoboe te a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
Let patience, therefore, have a perfect effect, that you may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
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.
If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids 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, being not at all irresolute: for he who is irresolute, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
Now let not that man think, that he shall receive anything from the Lord.
8 Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
A man of two minds, is unstable in all his ways.
9 Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
Moreover, let the brother of humble condition glory in his exaltation,
10 Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
and the rich in his humiliation; for as a garden flower 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 rises with a burning heat, and withers the herb, and its flower falls down, and the beauty of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade in his ways.
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 sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who 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 one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he tempts no one.
14 Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
But every one is tempted, when he is 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, brings forth sin, and sin, being perfected, brings forth death.
16 Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren;
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 gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descended from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, 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.
Of his own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of 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.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnah te a saii moenih.
for the wrath of man works not out the righteousness of God.
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, putting away all filthiness, and overflowing of maliciousness, embrace 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.
And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
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.
For if any one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man who views 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 who looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person 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.
But he who looks narrowly into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of its work, shall, in so doing, be happy.
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 among you think to be religious, who bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, the religion of this person 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 religion, and undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
