Jacob 3
1 Sopi deitahte, mitampi hi houbunga mihilin pang hih un, ajeh chu ahila pangho chunga thutanna chu gihjo cheh ding ahi.
Do not become many teachers, my brothers, because you know well that we teachers shall be judged by a severer standard than others.
2 Ahimongin, eiho jousen suhkhel tampi ineijiuve. Ajeh chu eihon ileiyu kithunun jou leuhen, eiho chamkim ihi dingu ahi chule thil danga jong kitim jou ihi dingu ahi.
For in many respects we often stumble. If any man never stumbles in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.
3 Eihon sakol lentah khu idei dei nauva ichesah theina dinguvin akamdal ikoipeh uvin ahi.
When we put bits in the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we control their whole body also.
4 Chule Kong innei lenpitah jong chu ahehna neocha a chu atolpan achesah nomna lam lama aheiya, hui hat jongleh athunun ahi.
Look at the ships too, though they are so large, even when driven by fierce winds they are turned by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the helmsman wills.
5 Hitobang maa chu lei hi thil neocha thil thupi tahtah ho seithei hiya ahi. Ahin mei-am neocha khat in gammang lentah akah lhah jengthei chu ahi.
So also the tongue is a small member and makes great boasts. Behold, how great a forest is set on fire by a little spark!
6 Chule leigui hi mei kong tobang ahi. Hiche hi vannoi gitlouna dimset, natahsa pumpi suboh ahi. Hiche hin nahinkho pumpi meiya ahalthei, ajeh chu hiche hin meidil meikou chu akahsah ahi. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue is a fire; it is a very world of iniquity among our members, defiling the whole body, and setting on fire the wheel of nature, and is itself set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Miho hin ganhing jouse, vacha ho, a-op a kitholho chule ngaho avah ngoi theicheh-e,
For while every kind of beast and bird, and of reptiles and sea- creatures are tamable, and actually have been tamed by mankind,
8 Hinlah koiman lei hi avah ngoi joupoi. Hiche hi kicholdo theilou le gilou, thina thei gu dimset ahi.
no man can tame the tongue, restless evil that it is, full of deadly poison.
9 Khatvei kom le hiche hin IPakaiyu le Pachu avahchoiyin, chule khatvei kom le Pathen lima kisem chu agaosap jin ahi.
With it we continually bless our Lord and Father, and with it we are accustomed to curse men made in the image of God.
10 Chutia chu kamhom khat ma a kona chu phatthei bohna le gaosapna hung kisunglha khom jia ahi.
From out of the same mouth pour forth blessings and cursings! My brothers, this ought not to be so.
11 Twinah khat a kona chu twi thengsel le twi kha putdoh khom ngaiyem?
Does a spring pour forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?
12 Theichang phungin olive ga asodoh theija ahilouleh leng piguiyin theichang ga asodoh theiyem? Ahipoi, nangman twitheng chu chitwiya konin nathaldoh thei poi.
Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives; or a grape-vine, figs? No more can salt water yield fresh water.
13 Nangma nachih a chule Pathen lamlhah ho chu nahet a ahileh, jabolna lama hinkho naman chu aphotchenna hihen chule chihna a kona natohpha kineosahna hinsodoh hen.
Who among you is wise and intelligent? Let him show his deeds by his good life, in the meekness of wisdom.
14 Hinlah nanghon kithangthip tona naneiyuva chule nalunguva chang phatchomna hollea nahiuleh, thutah lekhuna a kiletsahna pum le jouvin thu seihih un.
But if you have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, do not be boasting of that, and be false to the truth.
15 Ajeh chu kithangthip le chang phatchomna holna ho hi Pathen'a hungkon chihna chu ahipoi. Hiti hohi leiset thudol, lhagao thu hilou chule lhagao gilouva kon joh ahi.
Such wisdom is not that which is descending from on high, but is earthly, sensual, demonlike.
16 Ajeh chu, kimit thipna le chang phatchomna umna mun a chu phatlouna jouse le kitomona namu ding ahi.
For wherever jealousy and faction exist, there is confusion and every evil deed.
17 Hinlah, chunga kona chihna hi amasapen a atheng ahi. Chujongleh chamna ngaichatna, phat jousea lungneng, chule midang thua jong nung nom tina ahi. Khotona dimset le thilpha bolna asodoh in ahi. Koima lama langkaina aneipon chule lungdih pun aum jinge.
But the wisdom which comes from on high is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, conciliatory, overflowing with mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without insincerity.
18 Chule kicham ding deiho dinga chamna muchi kitu ding chule chonphatna tohga chu amuding ahitai.
And the fruit of righteousness is being sown in peace by those who are working peace.
