James 4
1 From where [are] wars and fightings among you? [Is it] not from here, out of your passions warring in your members?
Sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui loong ah manawa thok hala? Erah loong ah hansi tenroon raangtaan ih sen ten ni tongthuk thoidi, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui pak anglan.
2 You desire, and do not have, [so] you murder; and you are zealous, and are not able to attain, [so] you fight and war; and you do not have, because of your not asking;
Sen loong ah ih jirep ah jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah thoidi tek haat esuh bansok han; sen loong ah ih chichangchang taat jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah tungkaangdi changrook anglan. Sen loong ah ih marah jam han tachoh kan tiimnge liidi sen ih Rangte jiin nawa erah tasuh kan.
3 you ask, and you do not receive, because you ask badly, that you may spend [it] in your pleasures.
Adoleh mabah suh an erah di tachoh kan, tiimnge liidi sen tenthun ah ethih; jirep jaatrep sen ih jam han ah sen teenuh teewah hansi tenroon nah maak suh jam han.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Have you not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever, then, may intend to be a friend of the world, he is designated [as] an enemy of God.
Tuumaang lajeete mina loong! Sen loong ah ih tatam jatkan mongrep damdi joon awaan angla rah Rangte piiara ngeh ah? Sen loong ah ih mongrep damdi joon awaan angsuh liihan abah, sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte piiara ba eh hoon an.
5 Or, do you think that the Writing says emptily, “The Spirit that has dwelt in us yearns with envy,”
Rangteele ni amah liiha ah amiisak tah angka ngeh ih nakmok thun an, “Rangte ih seng sak ni Chiiala tong thukla rah ih ramram ih thun ha.”
6 but [God] gives greater grace, for this reason it says, “God sets Himself up against proud ones, and He gives grace to lowly ones.”
Enoothong Rangte ih tenthet kohali ah erah nang eh ju echaan thoon. Rangteele ni amah liiha, “Rangte ih khuupookte ah tanookka enoothong toongtang loong ah suh minchan koha.”
7 Be subject, then, to God; stand up against the Devil, and he will flee from you;
Erah raangtaan ih sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte suh look an. Hakhoh luuwang ah naknop thuk an, eno sen reenawa heh esoon e ah.
8 draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse hands, you sinners! And purify hearts, you split-souled!
Rangte reenah thok han, eno heh sen reenah thok ha. Rangdah mina sen loong ah ih, sen lak ah saatiihaat ih an! Lonoite sen loong ah ih, senten senmong ah esa angthuk an!
9 Be exceedingly afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter be turned to mourning, and the joy to heaviness;
Thungthet e an, ehu e an, mikphi janhaat an; ten ni engit e lan ah ehu e thuk an, sen tenroon ah nak roon thuk an!
10 be made low before the LORD, and He will exalt you.
Sen teenuh teewah Teesu ngathong nah ehin ih hoon an, sen loong ah tonjoot ehan.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers; he who is speaking against a brother, and is judging his brother, speaks against law, and judges law, and if you judge law, you are not a doer of law but a judge.
Phoh ano loong, wasiit ih wasiit nak lenmakmui theng. An ih Kristaan wahoh mok lenmak ubah adoleh dande ubah, an ih Hootthe ba lenmak hu adoleh dande hu. An ih Hootthe dande ubah, Hootthe kapte takah angko, enoothong Hootthe dandeete ih hoonlu.
12 One is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; you—who are you that judges the other?
Hootthe dongthukte nyia dandeete Rangte heh luulu. Heh ih luulu jen puipang ah nyia thet haat ah. Mih dande suh an o ngeh ih thun hu?
13 Go, now, you who are saying, “Today and tomorrow we will go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and traffic, and make gain,”
Emah liite loong ah ih, nga jeng ah boichaat an, “Chiinnyah lah angka bah uh rangkhah seng loong ah samnuthung nah tumkhoom kah ih, erah doh seng pangsiit than tong kah eno pheehoon mootkaat ah kah, eno ngun hantek bi kah ih.”
14 who does not know the thing of tomorrow; for what is your life? For it is a vapor that is appearing for a little [while], and then is vanishing;
Rangkhah an roidong ah mamah ang ah erah uh tajatko! An weekhot kah nyaamkhoom ah likhiik, erah pootsiit ba khot ah esaapmat eh ah.
15 instead, you [ought] to say, “If the LORD may will, we will live, and do this or that”;
Sen loong ah amah jeng theng tan: “Teesu thung ang abah, seng loong ah songtong eno jirep jaatrep moot ah mokah ih.”
16 but now you glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil;
Enoothong sen loong ah amadi khuupook elan; engaam elan; emah ngaam lan abah tapunka.
17 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing [it], it is sin to him.
Erah raangtaan ih, mootse kaatse ah ese ngeh ih jat eno lare keebah, rangdah ni moongli.
