James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo laksuh, Jeems taangnawa: Mongrep noongrep ni Rangte mina loong tiisoontla loong suh jengseera.
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
Joon awaan loong, sen taangnah jaatrep phate joonnaam thok haadoh khangraangse ngeh ih li an,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
tiimnge liidi erah likhiik phate joonnaam ah sen tuumaang nawa ih jen tanno juuba, jirep adoh jen naan eh an.
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting 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 one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will 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, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the 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 let not that man think that he shall 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 double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
Teesu taangnawa echoh eh ih ngeh ih nakmok thun an.
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
Changthih Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih toonjoh adoh tenroon ang theng,
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will 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 rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
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 that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that 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 one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth 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 when by his own lust he is led away and enticed;
Enoothong seng tenthun ethih nyia nyamnyook ih dat hoom hali.
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, 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 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Joonte loong erah raangtaan ih naktoom mokwaan han!
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from 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 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits 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 put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which 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 But be 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 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding 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 beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner 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 looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
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 one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives 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 before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self 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.
