James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo laksuh, Jeems taangnawa: Mongrep noongrep ni Rangte mina loong tiisoontla loong suh jengseera.
2 Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
Joon awaan loong, sen taangnah jaatrep phate joonnaam thok haadoh khangraangse ngeh ih li an,
3 knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
tiimnge liidi erah likhiik phate joonnaam ah sen tuumaang nawa ih jen tanno juuba, jirep adoh jen naan eh an.
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking 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 And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given to 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, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
Enoothong mabah rangsoom an, tenchi lah angthang ih hanpi an. O tenchi angla erabah juusih ni pong ih juutak saapmot ah likhiik.
7 for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
Sen loong emah mok ang anbah, nyia tiim re an bah uh sen thung nah lajen phanthun kanbah,
8 a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Teesu taangnawa echoh eh ih ngeh ih nakmok thun an.
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
Changthih Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih toonjoh adoh tenroon ang theng,
10 but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of grass;
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 rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade 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 endures temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving 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 one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
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 each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
Enoothong seng tenthun ethih nyia nyamnyook ih dat hoom hali.
15 afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings 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 Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers.
Joonte loong erah raangtaan ih naktoom mokwaan han!
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
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 having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain 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 So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
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 a man does not work the righteousness of God;
Mina tenkhat ih Rangte kateng tenthun nyia mootkaat ah mabah uh tachoka.
21 for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able 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 and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
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 because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
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 viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] 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 who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
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 anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [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 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted 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.
