James 3
1 MY brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive a severer judgment.
Nga joonte loong, sen loong ah thoontang nyootsootte totoh angtheng ngeh ih tah angka. Sen ih jat ehan, wahoh nang ih nyootsootte seng loong ah sattitih ih dande he.
2 For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, he is a perfect man, and capable of reining in the whole body.
Tiim saasa di seng loong ah mokre eli. Enoothong o mina heh jengkhaap ni lamok jengka, erabah epunthoon ang ah eno heh sakpuh thoontang jen riikoi sokboi ah.
3 Behold, we put bits into the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
Mok ah seng jeng chaat thuk suh heh tui ni moot hoom theng ben hi, eno seng manah kaat theng ah erah di kaat thukli.
4 Behold also the ships, though so great, and driven by tempestuous winds, are turned about by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the inclination of the pilot pleaseth.
Adoleh juukaari ah taat samthun thaak ih: mathan rak taat ang abah uh pong ih jen lengmot eha, enoothong heh ngoomrop theng banglo rah ih jen lenghoomha, eno juukaari jopte ah mani kaat thung ah erah di jen kala.
5 So also the tongue is a little member, and proudly vaunts. Behold how great a pile of wood, a little fire kindleth!
Erah likhiikkhiik tuihih ah: ehinsah taat ang abah uh, jirep adi elonglongwah ih jengkongla. Taat samthun thaak an woma erathan rak ah weepoong amasah ih jen khaam la!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: in such manner is the tongue placed among our members, that it defileth all the body, and setteth on fire the circle of nature; and is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Eno tuihih ah we likhiikkhiik. Mongrep ni ethih thoon ah tuihih ah, eno seng sakphu ni tong ano seng sak ni ethih ekhah loong ah jaatjaang thukla. Seng roidong roitang erah we ah ih roitang khaam thukla eno tuihih heheh erah we adi khaamla marah soolam nawa ra hala rah ih ah. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every species of wild beasts, and also of birds, of reptiles, and even of fishes, is tamed, and hath also been tamed by human ingenuity:
Mina ih jirep ah jen jijaang hi eno jihoh si anyah loong uh jen jik eha—woma si siiawi nyia woh angkoja, adoleh pu ajuk nyia nyah tiimjih angkoja.
8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Enoothong o ih uh tuihih maang taat mi jika. Tuihih ah ethih nyia lajen riikoi sokboi theng, hetaang ni me asu ethithoon ah ba je ah.
9 With it we bless God even the Farther; and with the same we curse men, though after the likeness of God.
Erah tuihih ah seng Teesu nyia seng Wah suh lakookmi li suh maak ehi eno mina Rangte likhiikkhiik ih dongsiit ha ah uh etam ehi.
10 Out of the same mouth goeth forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be thus.
Jengseera nyi etam jengkhaap ah tui phoosiitsiit nawa dokjengla. Joon awaan loong emah bah lah ang theng!
11 Doth a fountain from the same aperture spout forth sweet water and bitter?
Juumik esiit nawa ju esum nyia ekhah tami dong janka.
12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, produce olives; or a vine figs? so also can no fountain send forth salt water and sweet.
Joon awaan loong, phuksak bang nawa mabah uh olip tiik tami tiikka; adoleh anggut tiik nawa mabah uh phuksak tiik tami tiikka, adoleh sum juumik nawa juusum tami dong janka.
13 Who is a wise man and intelligent among you, let him shew in a becoming conduct his works with the meekness of wisdom.
Sen loong dung dowa o bah esekthoon nyia ejat esam eje tam ah? Emah ang abah heh roidong ese nawa ih, hemoot hekaat mongtham ese nyia seklilih jun ih noisokjih.
14 But if ye have bitter envy and contention in your heart, boast not, and lie not against the truth.
Enoothong senten senmong nah miksuk kiitnoot, ethih ekhah, nyia nyamnyook je abah, an mongtham ese asuh khuupook uno amiitiit ngathong nah nak dah uh.
15 This is not the wisdom which cometh from above, but is earthly, sensual, diabolical.
Erah likhiik mongtham abah rangmong nawa tah angka; erabah mongrep raangtaan ih ba ang ah, erah chiiala ah ese tah angka nyia hakhoh luuwang jiin nawa.
16 For where envy and contention dwell, there is tumult and every vile deed.
Maradi miksuk khaada nyia nyamnyook jeela, erah di hoongrok haphaang nyia ethih ekhah jaatrep ah jeeroh ela.
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, meek, easily persuadable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and void of dissimulation.
Enoothong mongtham rang nawa ang abah jaakhothoon ah kilingling ang ah; semroongroong nyia seklilih ang ah, sano joonte totoh je ah, mih minchan totoh ang ah; eno hemoot hekaat nah ese totoh ang ah; lonoite uh tah angka nyia mih dandeete uh tah angka ang ah.
18 But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for those who are peacemakers.
Esejih mathan ah erah semroongroong mokaatte loong ih dongthukla.
