James 3
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
Nga joonte loong, sen loong ah thoontang nyootsootte totoh angtheng ngeh ih tah angka. Sen ih jat ehan, wahoh nang ih nyootsootte seng loong ah sattitih ih dande he.
2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
Tiim saasa di seng loong ah mokre eli. Enoothong o mina heh jengkhaap ni lamok jengka, erabah epunthoon ang ah eno heh sakpuh thoontang jen riikoi sokboi ah.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
Mok ah seng jeng chaat thuk suh heh tui ni moot hoom theng ben hi, eno seng manah kaat theng ah erah di kaat thukli.
4 Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
Adoleh juukaari ah taat samthun thaak ih: mathan rak taat ang abah uh pong ih jen lengmot eha, enoothong heh ngoomrop theng banglo rah ih jen lenghoomha, eno juukaari jopte ah mani kaat thung ah erah di jen kala.
5 In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
Erah likhiikkhiik tuihih ah: ehinsah taat ang abah uh, jirep adi elonglongwah ih jengkongla. Taat samthun thaak an woma erathan rak ah weepoong amasah ih jen khaam la!
6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
Eno tuihih ah we likhiikkhiik. Mongrep ni ethih thoon ah tuihih ah, eno seng sakphu ni tong ano seng sak ni ethih ekhah loong ah jaatjaang thukla. Seng roidong roitang erah we ah ih roitang khaam thukla eno tuihih heheh erah we adi khaamla marah soolam nawa ra hala rah ih ah. (Geenna g1067)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
Mina ih jirep ah jen jijaang hi eno jihoh si anyah loong uh jen jik eha—woma si siiawi nyia woh angkoja, adoleh pu ajuk nyia nyah tiimjih angkoja.
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Enoothong o ih uh tuihih maang taat mi jika. Tuihih ah ethih nyia lajen riikoi sokboi theng, hetaang ni me asu ethithoon ah ba je ah.
9 With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
Erah tuihih ah seng Teesu nyia seng Wah suh lakookmi li suh maak ehi eno mina Rangte likhiikkhiik ih dongsiit ha ah uh etam ehi.
10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
Jengseera nyi etam jengkhaap ah tui phoosiitsiit nawa dokjengla. Joon awaan loong emah bah lah ang theng!
11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
Juumik esiit nawa ju esum nyia ekhah tami dong janka.
12 My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Joon awaan loong, phuksak bang nawa mabah uh olip tiik tami tiikka; adoleh anggut tiik nawa mabah uh phuksak tiik tami tiikka, adoleh sum juumik nawa juusum tami dong janka.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
Sen loong dung dowa o bah esekthoon nyia ejat esam eje tam ah? Emah ang abah heh roidong ese nawa ih, hemoot hekaat mongtham ese nyia seklilih jun ih noisokjih.
14 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
Enoothong senten senmong nah miksuk kiitnoot, ethih ekhah, nyia nyamnyook je abah, an mongtham ese asuh khuupook uno amiitiit ngathong nah nak dah uh.
15 Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
Erah likhiik mongtham abah rangmong nawa tah angka; erabah mongrep raangtaan ih ba ang ah, erah chiiala ah ese tah angka nyia hakhoh luuwang jiin nawa.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
Maradi miksuk khaada nyia nyamnyook jeela, erah di hoongrok haphaang nyia ethih ekhah jaatrep ah jeeroh ela.
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
Enoothong mongtham rang nawa ang abah jaakhothoon ah kilingling ang ah; semroongroong nyia seklilih ang ah, sano joonte totoh je ah, mih minchan totoh ang ah; eno hemoot hekaat nah ese totoh ang ah; lonoite uh tah angka nyia mih dandeete uh tah angka ang ah.
18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
Esejih mathan ah erah semroongroong mokaatte loong ih dongthukla.
