James 1
1 Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation.
Kai Jem, Cathut hoi Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e san lah kaawm e ni talai van kho tangkuem kâkayei e Isarel miphun hlaikahni touh koe ca na patawn awh.
2 My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations,
Ka hmaunawnghanaw, nangmouh ni tanouknae a phunkuep na kâhmo awh navah lunghawinae lah doeh ao tie lah pouk awh.
3 Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nangmae yuemnae hah tanouknae ni panguepnae a tâco sak tie panuek awh.
4 And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing.
Nangmouh teh khire laipalah na roung awh teh, na kuep awh nahan, panguep awh.
5 If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him.
Nangmouh thungvah, lungangnae ka panki e awm pawiteh, phuenang laipalah tami pueng pasai laipalah kapoekung Cathut koe het naseh. Het pawiteh poe lah ao han.
6 But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away.
Hatei, oupvoutnae lungthin tawn laipalah yuemnae hoi na het pawiteh na hmu han. Oupvoutnae lungthin ka tawn e tami teh kahlî ni tuicapa a thaw sak e hoi doeh a kâvan.
7 Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
Hot patetnaw teh, Cathut ni na poe han tie roeroe pouk na hanh seh.
8 A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies.
Hot patet e tami teh a lungthin a samphei teh a sak e hnonaw pueng dawk ka cak hoeh e lah ao.
9 Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted:
Ayâ ni a hnephnap e tami teh Cathut ni a tawm nah a lunghawi seh.
10 Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away.
Ka tawnta e tami teh Cathut ni a bo sak torei teh a lunghawi seh. Hatdawkvah, ka bawi tangrengnaw teh kahrawng kaawm e a pei ka sarut e patetlah a sarut han.
11 For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies.
Kanî a tâco teh khumbei ni a pei a kamyai sak teh a sarut, a kamhlawngnae hai a rawk. Hot patetvanlah, amae tawnta hnopai a tawng lahun navah a kamyai teh ouk a kahma.
12 Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
Tanouknae hah ka panguep e teh, a yawhawi. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tanouknae a tâco toteh, Bawipa kalungpatawnaw koe lawk kam pouh e hringnae bawilukhung a hmu han.
13 Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
Tacueknae ka kâhmo e ni, Cathut ni na tacuek telah tet nahanh seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawihoehnae ni Cathut teh tacuek thai hoeh. Cathut nihai apipatet hai tacuek boihoeh.
14 But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised.
Tami teh mae hounlounnae dawk doeh tacueknae kâhmo awh teh, tacueknae dawk ouk bo awh.
15 Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death.
Hat toteh, hounlounnae ni, a vawn teh yonnae hah a khe. Yonnae a roung teh, duenae a tâcokhai.
16 Erre not, my deare brethren.
Ka lungpataw e ka hmaunawnghanaw pouk payon awh hanh.
17 Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning.
Kahawi hoi kakuep e poehnonaw pueng teh angnae apa koehoi ka tho e doeh. Cathut teh nâtuek hai kâthung hoeh. Kampuen thai e a tâhlip hai awmhoeh.
18 Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
Bawipa ama ni a sak e pueng dawkvah, maimouh hah aluepaw lah na o sak teh, a ngainae patetlah lawkkatang lawk lahoi maimouh teh na khe sak toe.
19 Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
Ka lungpataw e hmaunawnghanaw, hothateh pahnim awh hanh. Apihai thainae koe lateh, a hue karang e lah awm awh. Lawk deinae hoi lungkhueknae koe lah teh ka hnawng e lah awm awh.
20 For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
Tami e lungkhueknae ni Cathut lannae heh tâcawt sak hoeh.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
Hatdawkvah kakhin e nuencangnaw puenghoi kahawihoehe kaisuenae pueng tâkhawng awh. Nangmae lungthin muitha ka rungngang thai e, nathung patûe lah kaawm e Cathut lawk hah lungdo lungnemnae lahoi dâw awh.
22 And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
A lawk thai teh a khout toe telah namahoima kâdum awh hanh. A lawk dawk ka tawk e lah awm awh.
23 For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
A lawk ka tarawi hoeh e tami teh hlalang dawk a minhmai ka kâkhen e hoi a kâvan.
24 For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
Kahawicalah a kâkhet teh a cei hnukkhu, amae meilam bang hoi maw ka kâvan tie tang a pahnim.
25 But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede.
Hateiteh, hloutnae kâlawk dawk kahawicalah ka khen niteh ka tarawi e teh, a thai teh pahnim laipalah ka tawk e lah ao. Ahnimouh teh tawksaknae dawk yawhawinae a hmu han.
26 If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
Tami buet touh ni kai teh a lawk ka tarawi e lah ka o telah a pouk han ei, a lai hah uk thai laipalah, amahoima kâdum pawiteh, ahnie bawknae e teh ahrawnghrang lah ao.
27 Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.
Pa Cathut e hmalah kathounge hoi ka khinhoehe bawknae teh, roedengnae ka kâhmo e naranaw hoi lahmainunaw khetyawtnae, talaivan khinnae hoi thoung nahanelah, mahoima kâkhetyawtnae naw hah doeh.
