James 1
1 James the servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Bawi Jesuh Khritaw ja Pamhnama mpya Jakuk üngkhyüh ni, Khawmdek avan üng ngpyeng hükie Pamhnama khyang avan ning jah hnukset veng.
2 My brethren, count it all joy, when you shall fall into divers temptations;
Ka püie, nami cehnak üng akhak mjüküm a lawpha üng na kam dawki tia namimät ngaiei u,
3 Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
akhake cun nami jumeinak naw a näng üng nami yah vai ta cuneinak khawh ni tia nami ksingki.
4 And patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire, failing in nothing.
Nami cuneinak naw käh nami ngtawngpäkia aning jah cehpüi üng nami hlükaw käh ve lü kümcei lü nami bebang khai ni tia ngsingsak ua.
5 But if any of you want wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men abundantly, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Pumngyam am na tak üng nang üng ning pe khawhkia Pamhnama vei na ktaiyü vai, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw käh kpamei lü bäbangnak am avan üng jah peki ni.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind.
Lüpi na ktaiyü üng käh uplat lü jumnak am ktaiyüa. Uplatkia khyang cun khawkhi naw hmut lü ngnawk hüki mpanglai üng tängki ni.
7 Therefore let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Acukba na ve ta, na pawhmsah naküt üng na mlung käh nängei lü am sikhyakia na ve khai ni. Bawipaa vei na ktaiyü na yah khaia pi käh ngai kawm pi.
8 A double minded man is inconstant in all his ways.
9 But let the brother of low condition glory in his exaltation:
Mpyenksekiea Khritjane cän Pamhnam naw a jah jähsawn üng je u lü,
10 And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
bawimangkiea Khritjane cän Pamhnam naw a jah msumnemsak üng je u se. Bawimangnak cun mawa veki khyäipaia kba khyükleih khai ni.
11 For the sun rose with a burning heat, and parched the grass, and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
Khawnghngi lut law se ngling lü a dung cun ui law lü, a pai pi kyü khai, a ngtonak pi pyak khai ni. Bawimang he pi kunpan khaia ami ceh üng acukba kunga pyakmsai khaie ni.
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.
Khuikha sawng üng sitih lü vekie cän je u se, isetiakyaküng, amimi naw camnak cun ami khe khawh üng Pamhnam kphyanakie üng khyütam a jah peta xünnaka ngkhyengnak yah khaie ni.
13 Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils, and he tempteth no man.
Acuna khuikhanake naw a jah hlawhlep üngta, “Ahin cun Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia hlawhlepnak ni” käh mi ti vai u. Pamhnam cun akse naw am hlawhlep thei, amät naw u pi akse am hlawhlep.
14 But every man is tempted by his own concupiscence, being drawn away and allured.
Lüpi mimäta hlükaweie akse naw jah man lü a jah kaiha kcün üng ni hlawhlepnak mi khamei.
15 Then when concupiscence hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. But sin, when it is completed, begetteth death.
Mi hlükawei akse naw mpyai lü mkhyenak a canak ni, mkhyenak cun däm law lü thihnak a canak law ni.
16 Do not err, therefore, my dearest brethren.
Ka püie, u naw pi käh ning jah mhleimhlak kawm!
17 Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.
Akdaw naküt teyet ja kümkia bänak hin khankhaw üngkhyüh lawki. Am ngthunghlai, am jah nghlata lü anghmüp pi am vesak, acun käna khankhaw akvaie pi jah Mhnünmcengki Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki ni.
18 For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures.
Amäta ngjak'hlüa ngthungtak üngkhyüh a jah xün lawsaka kyase, a mhnünmceng nakütea ksunga akcüka hnün mi yahkie ni.
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger.
Ka püie, hin hin süm ua! Avan cän ngjaknak üng jang lü pyensaknak ja mlungsonak üng cü yah khai ni.
20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
Nghngicima mlungsonak naw ngsungpyunkia Pamhnama nümnak cun am yah thei.
21 Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Acuna kyase, akse vecawh ja mtüihkse naküt cun jah lola ua. Pamhnama vei ngcuapei lü ning jah küikyan khawhkia ngthu nami mlunga a tak cän dokhamei ua.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Ngjaknak sawxat üng namät käh mhlei lü acun cän ngneisak na a.
23 For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass.
Ngthu cän ngja sawxatki lü am na ngneisaknak üngta hman üng amimät bükki khyange am ni na täng kawm.
24 For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
Amimät hman am bük u lü ami ceh hü üngta ia mäi lawki he ti cun am süm be ti u.
25 But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Khyang jah mhlät lü kümceikia thum cän k’et lü bük ua, acun cän bük kyet ua, käh mhnih lü käh ngai sawxat u lüpi nami ngneisaknak üngta nami bilawhnaka khana Pamhnam naw dawkyanak ning jah pe khai ni.
26 And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Ka ningsaw mahki ti lü mat mat naw ngaiki aw. Lüpi na mlei am na mkhüp khawh üngta na ningsawnak ia am kya lü na mlung na mhleieikia ni a kya ta.
27 Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one’s self unspotted from this world.
Mi Pa Pamhnam naw ngcim lü kcangkia a ngaiha ningsaw ta: ngakyahe ja hmeinue khuikha lü ami ve üng jah mcei lü amimät pi khawmdek naw käh a jah kcimkpyehsak vaia mcei vai cän ni.
