Jacob 4
1 Nalah uva kinah le kidel ho hi ipia kon ham? Nasung uva ngaichat dihlou ho chu kidouva hilou ham?
From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
2 Naneilouvu chu na deiyun, hichu mutei na gongun chutia na got nalamun nathat jiuve. Mi dang thilnei nathangseuvin, hinla na neithei pouvin, hiti chun nanghon gal nasatun amahoa kona lahdoh pehding na gouve. Ahijeng vang'in, nanghon nadeiyu chu nanei theipouve, Pathen koma nathum loujeh u ahi.
You desire, and do not have, [so] you murder; and you are zealous, and are not able to attain, [so] you fight and war; and you do not have, because of your not asking;
3 Chule nathum jeng vangun namudeh pouve, ajeh chu nalung gonu chu abona dihlou ahi-nang ho nopsahna ding bou na deijeh u ahi.
you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
4 Nangho jonbolteho! Vannoito kigolvop theina hin Pathen melma a nasemu ahi geldoh lou nahiu vem? Seikit inge: Nangho Vannoito na kigolvop uva ahileh, Pathen melma a kisema nahiu ahitai.
Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.
5 Pathen Thubun Pathen Lhagao isunguva cheng hin thangsetna a eidip dimu ahi kiti hi ipi nagel uvem?
Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
6 Hinlah Ama hin hitobang lung gitlou ngaichatna idou jouna dinguva lungsetna eichan cheh joh u ahi. Pathen Thubun, “Pathen in akiletsah ho adouvin, akineosah ho akhoto'e,” ati.
but [God] gives greater grace, for this reason it says, “God sets Himself up against proud ones, and He gives grace to lowly ones.”
7 Hitichun, Pathen masanga kineosah un. Diabol chu douvun chutileh nanghoa konin jamdoh tante.
Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
8 Pathen kom nailut un, chutileh Pathen in nahin nailut dingu ahi. Nakhut u sutheng un, michonse nangho; nalungu sutheng un, ajeh chu nangho Pathen le vannoi kikah ah nalungthimu akikehsotai.
draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
9 Nathilbol chunguva kisihna mitlhi longdoh hen. Lungkhamna le lunghemna tahbeh soh hen. Nuina sangin kana, chule kipana sangin lhasetna sohhen.
Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
10 Pakai masanga kineosah un, chuteng Aman jabolna'a nadopsang dingu ahi.
be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
11 Kasopi deitahte, khat in khat dounan thuse seihih un. Nangho naki oimo touva chule khat in khat chung thu natan u ahileh Pathen danthu chu oimoa chule athutana napanu ahitai. Hinla naboldiu dol chu danthu najui diu bou ahin, athutan ding nahi lou u ahi.
Do not speak against one another, brothers; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, speaks against law, and judges law, and if you judge law, you are not a doer of law but a judge.
12 Danthu pea pang Pathen bou chu Thutanpa ahi. Ama bou chu huhhingthei ahilouleh sumangthei hiya ahi. Achutileh, nangman naheng nakom chunga thutan theina ipi thu naneiyem?
One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
13 Tun veuvin, “Tuni ahilouleh jing tengleh khopi khat a gacheu hitin chule chuche mun a chun kum khat ga-umu hite. Chumuna chun sumkol gakiveiyu hitin chule sumpung holuhite,” natiuve.
Go, now, you who are saying, “Today and tomorrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain,”
14 Jing nikhoa itobang hinkho naman diu nahet uvem? Nahin khou chu jingkah twimei tobang ahi-hikoma chomkhat uma, chujoule chemang tobang ahi.
who does not know the thing of tomorrow; for what is your life? For it is a vapor that is appearing for a little [while], and then is vanishing;
15 Gahsei dia pha chu, “Pakaiyin eidei peh u ahileh eiho hingu hitin chule hiche ahilouleh khuche bolu hite,” tiuvin.
instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
16 Achuti louva natoh gon uva nakiletsah piuva ahileh hitobang kiletsah a thusei chu phalouva ahi.
but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
17 Geldohun, nanghon nabol dingu chu ipi ahi henasa'a nabol lou u chu chonset ahi.
to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
