James 5
1 Act now, you who are wealthy! Weep and wail in your miseries, which will soon come upon you!
Kuirhang rhoek te maerhae coeng, na ngaidaengnah aka thoeng te rhah neh vuek thil uh.
2 Your riches have been corrupted, and your garments have been eaten by moths.
Na khuehtawn loh hmawn coeng tih na himbai khaw keet la poeh coeng.
3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be a testimony against you, and it will eat away at your flesh like fire. You have stored up wrath for yourselves unto the last days.
Na sui neh ngun khaw aek coeng. A sue te nangmih taengah mingpha la om vetih na saa te hmai bangla a caak ni. Khohnin hnukkhueng dongah ni na tung uh coeng.
4 Consider the pay of the workers who reaped your fields: it has been misappropriated by you; it cries out. And their cry has entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
Na lo na ah te bibikung kah thapang na hmil pah long te namamih n'doek coeng he. Aka at rhoek kah a pang loh caempuei boeipa kah a hna khuila kun coeng.
5 You have feasted upon the earth, and you have nourished your hearts with luxuries, unto the day of slaughter.
Diklai hmanah na pumdom uh tih omthen na bawn uh, maeh tue vaengkah bangla na thinko te na khut uh.
6 You led away and killed the Just One, and he did not resist you.
Aka dueng te na boe sak uh tih na ngawn uh dae nangmih te m'pakai moenih.
7 Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains.
Te dongah manuca rhoek, Boeipa kah a lonah tue duela na thinsen uh mai. Lotawn loh diklai kah a vuei lue te a lamtawn ta. Rhotui neh tlankhol a dang duela a thinsen ta.
8 Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.
Boeipa a lonah tah a yoei coeng dongah nangmih khaw thinsen uh lamtah na thinko te duel uh laeh.
9 Brothers, do not complain against one another, so that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
Manuca rhoek khat neh khat huei uh boeh, te daengah ni lai n'tloek pawt eh. Laitloekkung tah thohka taengah pai coeng ke.
10 My brothers, consider the Prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of departing from evil, of labor, and of patience.
Manuca rhoek, tonghma rhoek kah patangkhang neh thinsennah te moeiboe la loh uh. Amih loh Boeipa ming nen ni a thui uh.
11 Consider that we beatify those who have endured. You have heard of the patient suffering of Job. And you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
Akah ueh rhoek ni ng'uem uh he. Job kah a uehnah te na yaak uh coeng. A hnukkhueng la hlang rhen kho neh lungma aka ti tah Boeipa ni tila Boeipa te na hmuh uh coeng.
12 But before all things, my brothers, do not choose to swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor in any other oath. But let your word ‘Yes’ be yes, and your word ‘No’ be no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
Tedae ka manuca rhoek, a cungkuem dongah toemngam uh boeh. Vaan khaw, diklai khaw, olhlo thil boeh khaw. Tedae nangmih kah ol te ue atah ue, moenih atah moenih tila rhep om saeh. Te daengah ni laitloeknah hmuiah na cungku uh pawt eh.
13 Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms.
Nangmih khuiah pakhat long ni a patang atah thangthui saeh. Pakhat ni a ngai a dip atah tingtoeng sa saeh.
14 Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Nangmih khuiah khat khat ni a tattloel atah hlangboel kah a ham rhoek te khue saeh. Te vaengah anih te Boeipa ming neh thangthui uh thil saeh lamtah situi neh hluk uh saeh.
15 And a prayer of faith will save the infirm, and the Lord will alleviate him. And if he has sins, these will be forgiven him.
Tangnah paipi long tah kobawt khaw a khang vetih anih te Boeipa loh a thoh ni. Tholhnah a saii te om mai cakhaw anih te a hlah ni.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be saved. For the unremitting prayer of a just person prevails over many things.
Te dongah, tholhnah te patoeng patoeng phong uh lamtah patoeng patoeng thangthui uh. Te daengah ni na hoeih uh eh. Aka dueng rhoek kah rhenbihnah tah bahoeng khangmai tih tueng.
17 Elijah was a mortal man like us, and in prayer he prayed that it would not rain upon the earth. And it did not rain for three years and six months.
Elijah he mamih vanbangla hlang boeiloeih ni. Tedae thangthuinah neh a thangthui vaengah rhotui tlan pawh. Te vaengah diklai ah kum thum neh hla rhuk rhotui tlan pawh.
18 And he prayed again. And the heavens gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Tedae koep a thangthui vaengah vaan loh rhotui a paek tih diklai loh a thaih a cuen sak.
19 My brothers, if anyone of you strays from the truth, and if someone converts him,
Ka manuca rhoek, nangmih khuikah khat khat long ni oltak lamkah taengphaelh tih khat khat loh anih a mael puei oeh atah,
20 he ought to know that whoever causes a sinner to be converted from the error of his ways will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
A longpuei kah tholhhiknah lamloh, hlangtholh aka mael puei long khaw, dueknah lamkah a hinglu a khang vetih tholh tung a muekdah pah ham te ming saeh.
