James 2
1 My brethren, do not, with respect for persons, be holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory.
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 enter into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings in gay clothing, and there enter a destitute man also, in soiled clothing, —
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 eye him that hath on the gay clothing, and say, Thou, be sitting here, pleasantly, —and, unto the destitute man, say—Thou, stand, or sit there 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 Would ye not have been led to make distinctions among yourselves, and have become judges with wicked reasonings?
erabah sen jaachi ni ethih tenthun nawa ih mok dandeemui elan.
5 Hearken! my brethren beloved: —Hath not, God, chosen the destitute in the world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath 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 Whereas, ye, have dishonoured the destitute man! Do not, the rich, oppress you? and, themselves, drag you into courts of justice?
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, defame the noble name which hath been invoked upon you?
Sen suh kohalan men ese thetbaatte ah neng loong laanglek ah.
8 If ye are, indeed, fulfilling, a royal law, according to the scripture—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, nobly, are ye doing;
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 are shewing respect of persons, sin, are ye working, being 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, a man who shall keep, the whole law, but shall stumble in one thing, hath become, for all things, liable, —
O ih jengdang esiit thetsiit ah erabah jengdang thoontang thetsiitte eh hoonla.
11 For, he that hath said—Do not commit adultery, hath also said—Do not commit murder, —now, if thou dost not commit adultery, but dost commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of 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, be speaking, and, so, doing, as they who, through means of a law of freedom, are about to be judged;
Senjeng senkong nyia senmoot senkaat ah seng puipangte hootthe ih dande ha mina likhiik ih ang theng.
13 For, the judgment, [will be] without mercy, unto him that hath shewed no mercy: Mercy, boasteth, over 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 profit, my brethren, —if one should be saying he hath, faith, but hath 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, should be naked, and coming short of the daily food,
Jengthaak asuh soophoh soonah nyumuh khatmuh nyia phakmuh satmuh tongla.
16 And one from among you should say unto them—Withdraw in peace, be getting warmed and fed, but should not give them the things needful for the body, What the 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 have not works, is dead, by itself.
Erah raangtaan ih tuumaang damdoh lakkot eje angjih: reeraang pakna laje thang ih tuumaang luulu je abah, erabah tekmang.
18 But one will say, —Thou, hast faith, and, I, have works, show me thy faith apart from thy works, and, I, unto thee, will shew, by my works, my faith.
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—Even the demons believe, and shudder!
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 art thou willing to learn, O empty man! that, faith, apart from 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 Abraham our father, was it not, by works, he was declared righteous—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, his faith, had been working together with his works, and by his works did his faith become full-grown, —
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—And Abraham believed God, And it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and, God’s friend, was he called:
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 declared righteous, and not by faith alone.
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 also, Rahab the harlot, Was it not, by works, she was declared righteous, when she gave welcome unto the messengers, and, by another way, urged them forth?
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 Just as, the body, apart from spirit, is dead, so, our faith also, apart from 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.
