James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Ka suapui te awng, eite sia thukhen na a lianzaw i thuak tu hi, ci phawk in sya tampi na hi heak tavun.
2 For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
Banghangziam cile na tampi sung ah i vekpi in i maw hi. Mi khat sia kammal taw maw ngawl ahile, tua pa sia a picing a hihi, taciang a pumpi buppi zong a keamcing zo a hihi.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
En vun, siphu te in i thu hong nit thei natu in a kam ah mukkamh khau i koisak hi; taciang amate pumpi vekpi ki heaksak hi.
4 Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth.
Tembaw te zong en vun, amate sia lian mama hi napi, huipi in ki khinsak hi, ahihang amate sia a hawlpa in a heakna no mama khat taw a ukna mun theampo ah ki heaksak thei hi.
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
Tasia bangma in leii zong no mama hi napi, nasiatak in kisuangtak thei hi. En vun, thing bangza a tam zong mei san no in kaang siat thei hi!
6 And the tongue is fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Taciang leii sia mei a hihi, phatngawlna i leitung a hihi: tasia bangma in leii sia i pumpi sung ah pumpikhen khat hi a, tua in i pumpi niinsak hi, cilesa hina theampo hei kakoai siat hi; taciang hell mei tung ah hong em hi. (Geenna g1067)
7 For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man.
Banghangziam cile ngamsa namcin, vacim namcin le ngul namcin, taciang tuipi sung a nganhing te zong mihing in zualsak hi:
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
Ahihang kuama in leii sia zualsak zo ngawl hi; khak zo ngawl in kisia a, thina ngu taw kidim hi.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Tua i leii taw Pa Pathian i pok hi; taciang tua leii tawma in Pathian meal bang in a vawt mihing te i hamsiat hi.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Kam hawng khat sung pan in thupha piakna le hamsiatna pusuak hi. Ka suapui te awng, hi te sia tabang tu hi ngawl hi.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Ciktui khat pan in tui thum le tui kha a phulsak ngei ziam?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Ka suapui te awng, theikung in olive nga a nga thei ziam? sapit kung in e, thei nga a nga thei ziam? tua ahikom ciktui khat in tui al le tui thum phulsak thei ngawl hi.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Note sung ah heakna taw a kidim mipil akua ziam? ama in ciimna sia thinneamna taw phatna a sep te kilangsak tahen.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Ahihang note thinsung ah a kha mama hazatna le ki elna, na nei uh le, angtang heak vun, taciang thuman langpan in leilot thu son heak vun.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Hi ciimna sia tunglam pan hong theng hi ngawl hi, leitung ciimna, cilesa ciimna le doai ciimna a hihi.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Banghangziam cile hazatna le ki elna omna mun ah, buaina le na pha ngawl a tatuam om tawntung hi.
17 But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easie to be intreated, full of mercie and good fruites, without iudging, and without hipocrisie.
Tunglam pan hong theng ciimna sia a masabel in thiangtho hi, taciang ngual taw kilem a, thin zong neam hi, taciang kaizot ol hi, hesuakna le nga pha te taw kidim hi, doidanna nei ngawl a, ki phatsakna zong nei ngawl hi.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Taciang thutang suana i nga sia thinnopna a vawt te in thinnopna sung ah cing uh hi.
