James 1
1 JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are dispersed, greeting.
Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo laksuh, Jeems taangnawa: Mongrep noongrep ni Rangte mina loong tiisoontla loong suh jengseera.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various trials;
Joon awaan loong, sen taangnah jaatrep phate joonnaam thok haadoh khangraangse ngeh ih li an,
3 knowing that the proof of your faith produceth patience.
tiimnge liidi erah likhiik phate joonnaam ah sen tuumaang nawa ih jen tanno juuba, jirep adoh jen naan eh an.
4 But let patience have its work perfected, that ye may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing.
Sen ih jat etheng, jen naan ih tanno roidong doh jirep ah jen an, eno juuba tiim lampo nah uh sen epun nyia lasoot lasaam ang an.
5 But if any man of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
Enoothong sengdung dowa o ang an bah uh mongtham ese laje kanbah, sen ih Rangte rangsoom an heh ih kot ehan; tiimnge liidi Rangte ih loongtang suh larat lapat thang ih minchan ih chokoha.
6 But let him ask in faith, harbouring no doubt: for he who is doubtful is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind, and in constant agitation.
Enoothong mabah rangsoom an, tenchi lah angthang ih hanpi an. O tenchi angla erabah juusih ni pong ih juutak saapmot ah likhiik.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing from the Lord.
Sen loong emah mok ang anbah, nyia tiim re an bah uh sen thung nah lajen phanthun kanbah,
8 A double-minded man is unsteady in all his ways.
Teesu taangnawa echoh eh ih ngeh ih nakmok thun an.
9 Let the brother low in station rejoice in his elevation:
Changthih Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih toonjoh adoh tenroon ang theng,
10 but the rich, in his abasement: for as the flower of grass he shall pass away.
adoleh changteng Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih datthiin ih adoh tenroon ang theng. Tiimnge liidi changteng ah woma ni popong kah mutdat ah likhiik ih mah ah.
11 For the sun arose with fervour, and burnt up the grass, and the flower of it fell off, and the beauty of its appearance was lost: just so the rich man in his course of life shall wither away.
Rangsa ah khaamloolo ih dong tahaano nyia mi taano bangphook ah tekraat eha; hepoong uh takah poongka, adoleh hejaase ah uh emat e ah. Erah likhiikkhiik changteng loong ah neng pheehoon mootkaat damdoh thet haat ah.
12 Blessed is the man who patiently supports temptation: for when he is proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to those who love him.
Phate joonnaam di o ih tuumaang roh eha erah juuba tenroon, tiimnge liidi erah thaak taari ha jen ano, heh mongnook loong asuh Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih hethaang ah roidong koh ah.
13 Let no man under temptation say, I am tempted of God: for God is incapable of temptation from evils, and he tempteth no man:
Erah likhiik thaak taari heedoh, seng ih mabah uh lajaatjaat jeng theng, “Arah thaak taari hali ah Rangte taangnawa.” Tiimnge liidi Rangte ah ethih ekhah ih tami thaak taari ka, he teewah ih o uh tathaak taari ka.
14 but every person is tempted, when by his own peculiar passion he is born away, and ensnared.
Enoothong seng tenthun ethih nyia nyamnyook ih dat hoom hali.
15 Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.
Eno seng tenthun ethih ekhah rah ih rangdah dongsam thukla nyia dongtup ha; erah lih adi rangdah ah hantek phong taano etek ih thukla.
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
Joonte loong erah raangtaan ih naktoom mokwaan han!
17 Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descending from the father of illuminations, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of change.
Ranglakkot ese nyia epun lakkot ah rangmong nawa ra hala; rangmong dowa weephaak Dongsiitte Rangte reenawa ra hala, heh lekte tah angka nyia rangnak takah ngaak ang thukka.
18 Of his own choice he produced us by the word of truth, that we might be a sort of first fruit of his creatures.―
Hethung hetak nawa ih nyia heh jengkhaap amiisak nawa ih dongtup tahe, tiimnge liidi mathan dongsiitta erah loong tung dowa seng loong ah phangkhoh tiik arah potiik loong ang theng.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
Joonte loong, sen ih arah samthun roh etheng! Warep ih boichaat ah jaalo ih boichaat theng, enoothong ejeng nyia ekhat ah siak lakhat theng.
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Mina tenkhat ih Rangte kateng tenthun nyia mootkaat ah mabah uh tachoka.
21 Wherefore laying aside all vicious pollution, and the abundance of iniquity, receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which hath power to save your souls.
Erah raangtaan ih lalangka lampo ni jangse li dowa nyia ethih mootkaat loong dowa haloh ang theng. Jirep ah Rangte suh look anno sen tenthun ni tiimjaat jengkhaap dong thukla erah ah kaptheng, erah ih juuba jen puipang han.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning.
Heh jengkhaap ah boichaat luulu ih anno sen teenuh teewah nak mokwaan an; erah nang ebah erah chaat han jengkhaap kap suh jangse an.
23 For if any man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man that looks at his natural face in a glass;
Sen ih jengkhaap ah boichaat luulu ih anno erah jun ih jangse lareeraang kanbah, theeri ni adoleh samsok ni o mina ih heh teenuh teewah likhiikkhiik ih japtup arah likhiik ih ang an.
24 for he beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what sort of person he was.
Erah loong ah ebah neng teenuh teewah ah samkhikhih ih sok ano dokkhoom kala eno hethe hekhoh tiim likhiik angko taaja erah jaasiit di lak haat ha.
25 But he that looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, this man not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be blessed in his practice.
Enoothong marah hootthe mina puipang suh epunthoon ah, labeehaat thang ih erah hootthe ah kap anbah nyia boichaat luulu lah ethang ih jangse ih reeraang pakna anbah—sen tiim re an erah doh Rangte ih romseetam kohan.
26 If any man thinks he is a religious character among you, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
O ih bah uh sen jaachi ni ngah thooroom mina ngeh ih tam thun han? Heh tuihih ah laplap ih moot abah heh thooroom ah thaangmuh, erabah heh teeteewah ba mokwaan ha.
27 Pure religion and undefiled with God even the Father is this, To pay diligent attention to the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to preserve himself spotless from the world.
Sen loong Wah Rangte ih kilingling nyia amiimi thooroom liiha abah amah suh liiha: numuh wamuh nyia numuh jooti loong ah neng chamchoh doh chosok theng adoleh arah mongrep dowa mih thet hoomjih loong dowa haloh ang theng.
