James 1
1 James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, —unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.
Bawi Jesuh Khritaw ja Pamhnama mpya Jakuk üngkhyüh ni, Khawmdek avan üng ngpyeng hükie Pamhnama khyang avan ning jah hnukset veng.
2 All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations, —
Ka püie, nami cehnak üng akhak mjüküm a lawpha üng na kam dawki tia namimät ngaiei u,
3 Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;
akhake cun nami jumeinak naw a näng üng nami yah vai ta cuneinak khawh ni tia nami ksingki.
4 But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.
Nami cuneinak naw käh nami ngtawngpäkia aning jah cehpüi üng nami hlükaw käh ve lü kümcei lü nami bebang khai ni tia ngsingsak ua.
5 But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;
Pumngyam am na tak üng nang üng ning pe khawhkia Pamhnama vei na ktaiyü vai, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw käh kpamei lü bäbangnak am avan üng jah peki ni.
6 But let him be asking in faith, nothing, doubting, for, he that doubteth, is like a wave of the sea, wind-driven and storm-tossed, —
Lüpi na ktaiyü üng käh uplat lü jumnak am ktaiyüa. Uplatkia khyang cun khawkhi naw hmut lü ngnawk hüki mpanglai üng tängki ni.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord—
Acukba na ve ta, na pawhmsah naküt üng na mlung käh nängei lü am sikhyakia na ve khai ni. Bawipaa vei na ktaiyü na yah khaia pi käh ngai kawm pi.
8 A two-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
9 But boasting be the lowly brother in his uplifting;
Mpyenksekiea Khritjane cän Pamhnam naw a jah jähsawn üng je u lü,
10 Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, —because, as a flower of grass, he will pass away;
bawimangkiea Khritjane cän Pamhnam naw a jah msumnemsak üng je u se. Bawimangnak cun mawa veki khyäipaia kba khyükleih khai ni.
11 For the sun hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished, —so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.
Khawnghngi lut law se ngling lü a dung cun ui law lü, a pai pi kyü khai, a ngtonak pi pyak khai ni. Bawimang he pi kunpan khaia ami ceh üng acukba kunga pyakmsai khaie ni.
12 Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life—which he hath promised unto them that love him.
Khuikha sawng üng sitih lü vekie cän je u se, isetiakyaküng, amimi naw camnak cun ami khe khawh üng Pamhnam kphyanakie üng khyütam a jah peta xünnaka ngkhyengnak yah khaie ni.
13 Let, no one, while tempted, be saying—From God, am I tempted, —for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one;
Acuna khuikhanake naw a jah hlawhlep üngta, “Ahin cun Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawkia hlawhlepnak ni” käh mi ti vai u. Pamhnam cun akse naw am hlawhlep thei, amät naw u pi akse am hlawhlep.
14 But, each one, is tempted, when, by his own coveting, he is drawn out and enticed,
Lüpi mimäta hlükaweie akse naw jah man lü a jah kaiha kcün üng ni hlawhlepnak mi khamei.
15 Then, the coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full-grown, bringeth forth death.
Mi hlükawei akse naw mpyai lü mkhyenak a canak ni, mkhyenak cun däm law lü thihnak a canak law ni.
16 Be not deceived, my brethren beloved: —
Ka püie, u naw pi käh ning jah mhleimhlak kawm!
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights—with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:
Akdaw naküt teyet ja kümkia bänak hin khankhaw üngkhyüh lawki. Am ngthunghlai, am jah nghlata lü anghmüp pi am vesak, acun käna khankhaw akvaie pi jah Mhnünmcengki Pamhnam üngkhyüh lawki ni.
18 Because he was so minded, he hath brought us forth with a word of truth, to the end we should be a sort of firstfruit of his creatures
Amäta ngjak'hlüa ngthungtak üngkhyüh a jah xün lawsaka kyase, a mhnünmceng nakütea ksunga akcüka hnün mi yahkie ni.
19 Ye know, my brethren beloved, —but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Ka püie, hin hin süm ua! Avan cän ngjaknak üng jang lü pyensaknak ja mlungsonak üng cü yah khai ni.
20 For, man’s anger, worketh not, God’s righteousness.
Nghngicima mlungsonak naw ngsungpyunkia Pamhnama nümnak cun am yah thei.
21 Wherefore, putting away all filthiness and overflow of baseness, in meekness, welcome ye the word fitted for inward growth, which is able to save your souls:
Acuna kyase, akse vecawh ja mtüihkse naküt cun jah lola ua. Pamhnama vei ngcuapei lü ning jah küikyan khawhkia ngthu nami mlunga a tak cän dokhamei ua.
22 Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only—reasoning yourselves astray;
Ngjaknak sawxat üng namät käh mhlei lü acun cän ngneisak na a.
23 Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, —
Ngthu cän ngja sawxatki lü am na ngneisaknak üngta hman üng amimät bükki khyange am ni na täng kawm.
24 For he observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him, —what manner of man, he was!
Amimät hman am bük u lü ami ceh hü üngta ia mäi lawki he ti cun am süm be ti u.
25 But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming—not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.
Khyang jah mhlät lü kümceikia thum cän k’et lü bük ua, acun cän bük kyet ua, käh mhnih lü käh ngai sawxat u lüpi nami ngneisaknak üngta nami bilawhnaka khana Pamhnam naw dawkyanak ning jah pe khai ni.
26 If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one’s, religious observance is, vain:
Ka ningsaw mahki ti lü mat mat naw ngaiki aw. Lüpi na mlei am na mkhüp khawh üngta na ningsawnak ia am kya lü na mlung na mhleieikia ni a kya ta.
27 Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this—to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.
Mi Pa Pamhnam naw ngcim lü kcangkia a ngaiha ningsaw ta: ngakyahe ja hmeinue khuikha lü ami ve üng jah mcei lü amimät pi khawmdek naw käh a jah kcimkpyehsak vaia mcei vai cän ni.
