James 1
1 James, a bondman of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting.
Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
2 Consider it all joy, my brothers, when ye encounter various trials,
Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
4 And let perseverance have a perfect work, so that ye may be perfect and complete, falling short in nothing.
Uehnah loh khoboe te a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
5 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God who gives to all generously and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.
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.
6 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by wind and tossed about.
Tedae boelhkhoeh kolla tangnah neh bih saeh. Aka boelhkhoeh tah tuili kah tuiphu aka niknuk neh aka kilkul banghui ni.
7 For that man should not think that he will receive anything from the Lord,
Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
8 a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
9 Now let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,
Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
10 but the rich in his lowliness, because as a flower of grass he will pass away.
Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
11 For the sun rose up with the burning heat, and withered the grass. And the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished. So also the rich man will fade away among his pursuits.
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.
12 Blessed is a man who endures temptation, because, having become approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
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.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God, for God is without temptation of evils, and he himself tempts no man.
Noemcai vaegah Pathen loh n'noemcai ti boel saeh. Pathen ham tah a thae he hnalbat la om tih amah khaw a noemcai moenih.
14 But each man is tempted by his own lust, being drawn away and enticed.
Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
15 Then the lust having conceived, it gives birth to sin, and after being complete the sin brings forth death.
Hoehhamnah loh a cuen dongah tholhnah a cun. Tholhnah loh a ham vaengah dueknah a cun.
16 Be not led astray, my beloved brothers.
Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
17 Every good gift and every perfect endowment is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning.
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.
18 Having deliberated, he begot us by the word of truth for us to be a certain first fruit of his creatures.
A kutngo khuiah thaihcuek pakhat la mamih om sak ham ni oltak kah a ngaih vanbangla a ol loh mamih n'cun.
19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
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.
20 For the wrath of man does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnah te a saii moenih.
21 Therefore having put off all filthiness and profusion of evil, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
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.
22 But become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Ol aka rhoihkung la om uh lamtah aka yakung dawk loh amah te yoek uh boel saeh.
23 Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this resembles a man observing his natural face in a mirror.
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.
24 For he observes himself, and goes away, and straightaway forgets what kind of man he was.
Amah te hmat uh coeng dae a caeh nen tah metla a om khaw hnap a hmaai.
25 But he who stooped to look into the perfect law, the one of liberty, and who remained, this man, who did not become a forgetful hearer but a doer of work, this man will be blessed in his doing.
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.
26 If any man among you seems to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is futile.
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.
27 Pure religion and undefiled from God and the Father is this, to go help the orphaned and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
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.
