James 2
1 My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Lord] of glory, with respect of persons:
Eigi ichil inaosa, eikhoigi Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christta, matik mangalgi Mapu Ibungobu thajaba mising oina, mapanthonggi mawong matou yenglaga nakhoina misingda lamchat chatpa khak touganu.
2 for if there come unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,
Nakhoigi tinaphamda sanagi khudop siba amadi phajaba phijet setpa inakkhunba nupa ama aduga amotpa phi setpa lairaba nupa ama changlakpa thoklabadi,
3 and ye look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here under my footstool:
maduda nakhoina aphaba phi set chaba mi aduda henna ikai khumnaba uttuna mangonda asumna hairabadi, “Aphaba phamphamlang asida phambiyu,” aduga lairaba mi adudana, “Nahakti aduda lepu,” nattraga “Eigi khongnetpham manak asida phammu” haina hairabadi,
4 have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?
adu oirabadi nakhoi nasen-gi narakta misak mimai yengba amadi phattaba wakhalna wayenbasing oiba nattra?
5 Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to them that love him?
Nungsiraba ichil inaosa, eina haibasi tabiyu! Taibangpangi mityengda lairabani haina singthanaba misingbu thajabada inakkhunnanaba amadi Ibungo mahakpu nungsibasingda pibigani wasakpikhiba Ningthou leibak adu phangnanaba Tengban Mapuna khandokpiba nattra?
6 But ye have despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] they drag you before [the] tribunals?
Adubu nakhoinadi lairabasingbu ikai khumnabide! Nakhoibu neihatpiba adu inakkhunbasingna nattra? Nakhoibu namduna wayelsangda chingduna puba adu makhoina nattra?
7 And [do not] they blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?
Nakhoigi mapu oiriba mahakki aphaba minglen adubu thina ngangbasing adu makhoising asi nattra?
8 If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well.
Mapugi puyada yaoriba Ningthou leibakki wayel yathang haibadi, “Nangna nanggi keirol leikaibu nasamakkumna nungsiyu,” haiba adubu illabadi, nakhoina achumba adu tourabani.
9 But if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
Adubu nakhoina misingbu makhoigi mapanthonggi matung-inna misak mimai yenglabadi, nakhoi pap toubani, aduga nakhoina Wayel Yathang thugaiba ama oina wayel yathangna nakhoibu aranba tahalli.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.
Kanagumba amana Wayel Yathang apumba ngakle hairaga, amakhak ngaktrabadi, wayel yathang apumba thugaibagi maral leirabani.
11 For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become transgressor of [the] law.
Maramdi Ibungo mahakna haiba, “Migi nupi migi nupa ngangnaganu,” asisu hai “Nahakna mi hatkanu.” Nahakna migi nupi migi nupa ngangnabagi thabak toudraga, nahakna mi hatlabadi, nahak Wayel Yathang thugaiba mi ama haibadu oire.
12 So speak ye, and so act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;
Eikhoibu ningtamhanbiba Wayel Yathang aduna wayen-gadaba misinggumna, nakhoina ngangsu ngang-u tousu tou.
13 for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.
Maramdi minungsi leitaba mahak adu Tengban Mapuna wayenba matamda minungsi utloi, Wayenbabudi minungsina ngammi.
14 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can faith save him?
Eigi ichil inaosa, kanagumba mi amana mahakki thajaba lei hairaga, thabak yaodrabadi, maduda kari tongjaba leibage? Adugumba thajaba aduna makhoibu kanbiba ngamgadra?
15 Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food,
Kanagumba nachin nanao nattraga nachan nache ama setnaba phi amadi nongmagi channaba chara leitrabada,
16 and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the profit?
nakhoi kanagumba amana makhoida asumna haibada, “Tengban Mapuna nakhoida yaipha thoujal pibiba oisanu! Lumna leiyu, ningthina cha-thakpiyu!” hairaga nakhoina makhoigi hakchanggi tangaiphadraba potchang adu pibidrabadi, madugi wadu hairubagi kanaba kari leibage?
17 So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.
Maduga chap manna thajabasuni, thabak yaodrabadi, madu asibani.
18 But some one will say, Thou hast faith and I have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and I from my works will shew thee my faith.
Adubu kanagumba mi amana haigani, “Nanggidi thajaba lei aduga eigi thabak lei.” Nahakki thajaba adu thabak yaodana eingonda utlu, aduga eigi thajaba adu eina nangonda eigi thabakna utke.
19 Thou believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.
Tengban Mapu amakhak lei haiba asi nahakna thajei. Madu Aphabani! Lai phattabasingnasu madu thajei amasung kiduna thak thak nik-i.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
He apangba mi, thabak yaodaba thajabadi kanadabani haiba nahakna khangningbra?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Eikhoigi ipa-ipu oiriba Abraham-bu achumba chatpa ama oina karamna singthanakhibage? Madu mahakki thabakki mapannani haibadi mahakna mahakki machanupa Isaac-pu latnapungda katkhiba matam adudani.
22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and that by works faith was perfected.
Nahak uba ngamdabra? Mahakki thajaba adu mahakki thabaksingga loinna chatminnei; mahakki thabakki mapanna mahakki thajaba adu mapung phahalli.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called Friend of God.
“Abraham-na Tengban Mapubu thajei, aduga madu mangonda achumba chatpa ama oina singthanabire,” haiba Tengban Mapugi wahei adu thungle. Maram aduna mahakpu Tengban Mapugi marup haina koure.
24 Ye see that a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.
Mi amabu mahakki touriba thabakki mapanna achumba chatpa ama oina singthanei madu thajaba ngaktana natte haiba nakhoina ure.
25 But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by another way?
Matou adugumna oktabi Rahab-tasu oikhi. Mahakna toukhiba thabak adugi mapanna haibadi Israel-gi lanjabasing adu lousinbiba amadi makhoibu atoppa lambi amada nanthokpada mateng pangkhiba aduna mahakpu achumba chatpa oina singthanabikhi.
26 For as the body without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Maramdi thawai yaodraba hakchangna sibagum, thabak yaodaba thajaba adusu asibani.
