James 2
1 My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord of glory, Jesus Christ, with respect of persons.
Joonte loong, chaan aphaan Teesu, Teesu Jisu Kristo suh hanpiite loong, rangkhonah sok an jun ih o mina ang abah uh nak liilaangmui an.
2 For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment,
Jengthaak asuh changteng warah ah kom laktiip nyia nyuse khatmi ah kap ano ngoongthum theng ni wang hala, erah damdi changthih warah uh nyutu khattu ah kap ano wang hala.
3 and ye have respect to him that weareth the splendid apparel, and say, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool,
An ih nyuse khatmi kapte asuh choomjoh uno “Tongtheng eseethoon adoh tong uh mokbaat ubah,” enoothong changthih warah suh “Erah doh chap uh, adoleh nga lathong nah erah hah adoh tong uh mokbaat ubah,”
4 have ye not been partial among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
erabah sen jaachi ni ethih tenthun nawa ih mok dandeemui elan.
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
Nga mongnook joonte loong, boichaat thaak an! Rangte ih arah mongrep dowa changthih loong ah tuumaang nah changteng angthuk suh danjeeta, eno heh ih minchanha loong asuh kakhamta jun ih ranghasong adoh chotong thuk ah.
6 but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment-seats?
Enoothong sen loong ah ih changthih ah tachoom jokan! Mat hoonte jiinni hoomkaat hanno sen suh liilaangte ah o ah? Changteng loong ah laanglek!
7 Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called?
Sen suh kohalan men ese thetbaatte ah neng loong laanglek ah.
8 If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” ye do well.
Hasong hootthe ah kap anbah sen loong ah epunjih ah re an, erah rangteele ni uh emah ju liiha, “Senkhung sentok ah senteewah minchan han ah likhiik ih minchan theng.”
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Enoothong sen ih o mina ang abah uh rangkhoh nah sok anno mok liilaang anbah, sen loong ah rangdajih re lan, eno Hootthe jundi hootthe thetsiitte ngeh ih dut haat han.
10 For whoever hath kept the whole law, and yet hath offended in one point, hath become guilty of all.
O ih jengdang esiit thetsiit ah erabah jengdang thoontang thetsiitte eh hoonla.
11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” said also, “Do not kill.” Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.
Tiimnge liidi, “Misah minuh damdoh laroomjup theng,” emah liite warah ih liiha, “Mih latek haat theng” ngeh ih uh li eha. An misah minuh damdoh laroomjup ko bah uh, an ih mitek haat ubah hootthe thetsiitte ih hoonlu.
12 So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Senjeng senkong nyia senmoot senkaat ah seng puipangte hootthe ih dande ha mina likhiik ih ang theng.
13 For the judgment shall be without mercy to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glorieth against judgment.
Tiimnge liidi o tenthet lajeeka mina ah Rangte ih dande adoh heh suh tenthet tajeeka ang ah; enoothong tenthet jeete ah dande sa echo ejih tajeeka ang ah.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he hath faith, and have not works? Can his faith save him?
Joon awaan loong, sen loong dung dowa o ih bah uh sen reeraang pakna lajeeka bah tuumaang ah ese nih ang ah? Erah tuumaang ah ih puipang tam ehan?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
Jengthaak asuh soophoh soonah nyumuh khatmuh nyia phakmuh satmuh tongla.
16 and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit?
Tiimma se ah neng suh jengkhaap huuta nawa ih emah li ubah ah, “Rangte ih romseetam toom kohan! Lomjaaja nyia wokphoot wokbi toom tong an!”—neng suh neng roidong di tiim laakiila erah lakoh koobah ah?
17 So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.
Erah raangtaan ih tuumaang damdoh lakkot eje angjih: reeraang pakna laje thang ih tuumaang luulu je abah, erabah tekmang.
18 But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Enoothong mararah ih liiha, “Mina wasiit asuh tuumaang jeela, wasiit asu reeraang pakna jeela.” Ngah ih liihang, “Ngah suh noisok thaak he reeraang pakna lajeeka bah tuumaang mamah mi je ah. Nga tuumaang ah nga reeraang pakna nawa ih noisok ha.”
19 Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble.
Sen ih Rangte ah esiit ngeh ih hanpi tam ehan? Ese laang angja! Erabah hakhoh luuwang ih uh hanpi eha—nyia mootcho ela.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?
Sen loong ah engak elan! Sen reeraang pakna lajeeka bah tuumaang ah thaangmuh ang ah ngeh ih noisok ah tamjam han?
21 Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Sengte senwah Abraham ah Rangte ngathong ni mamah kateng angta? Heh sah Isak romthong ni khojoop taat kowanta, erah di heh reeraang nawa ih noisokta.
22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.
Sen ih tatam tupkan? Erah di heh tuumaang nyia heh reeraang ah eroom ih mokala; heh tuumaang ah heh reeraang jun ih epunthoon ngeh ih noisok ha.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;” and he was called the friend of God.
Eno Rangteele ni liiha ah amiisak ih angla, “Abraham ih Rangte hanpiita, eno heh tuumaang jun ih Rangte ih Abraham ah kateng ngeh ih kapta.” Erah thoidi Abraham suh Rangte joonte ngeh ih poonta.
24 Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.
Erah raangtaan ih, sen ih tup ehan, heh reeraang pakna jun ih ba Rangte ngathong ni erah mina ah kateng eh hoonta, heh tuumaang laklak ih tami angka.
25 And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
Hansangte Rahap ah uh emamah ju angta. Heh reeraang pakna jun ih Rangte damdi kateng eh hoonta, mamah ih hoonta liidi bah, Rahab ih Ijirel mijokjengte ah noppoon ano lamhoh ko nawa ih hotsoon thuk rumta.
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Erah raangtaan ih, sakphu adoh chiiala lajeeka di tekmang angla likhiikhiik, reeraang pakna laje thang ih tuumaang luulu je abah erabah tekmang.
