James 4
1 Whence wars and whence fightings among you? are they not from hence—due to your pleasures which are taking the field in your members?
Sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui loong ah manawa thok hala? Erah loong ah hansi tenroon raangtaan ih sen ten ni tongthuk thoidi, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui pak anglan.
2 Ye covet—and have not, ye commit murder, and are jealous—and cannot obtain, —ye fight and war. Ye have not—because ye do not really ask,
Sen loong ah ih jirep ah jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah thoidi tek haat esuh bansok han; sen loong ah ih chichangchang taat jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah tungkaangdi changrook anglan. Sen loong ah ih marah jam han tachoh kan tiimnge liidi sen ih Rangte jiin nawa erah tasuh kan.
3 Ye ask and receive not, because that, basely, ye ask, in order that, in your pleasures, ye may spend [it].
Adoleh mabah suh an erah di tachoh kan, tiimnge liidi sen tenthun ah ethih; jirep jaatrep sen ih jam han ah sen teenuh teewah hansi tenroon nah maak suh jam han.
4 Adulteresses! Know ye not that, the friendship of the world, is, enmity to God? Whosoever, therefore, is minded to be, a friend, of the world, an enemy of God, doth constitute himself.
Tuumaang lajeete mina loong! Sen loong ah ih tatam jatkan mongrep damdi joon awaan angla rah Rangte piiara ngeh ah? Sen loong ah ih mongrep damdi joon awaan angsuh liihan abah, sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte piiara ba eh hoon an.
5 Or think ye that, in vain, the scripture speaketh? Is it, for envying, that the spirit which hath taken an abode within us doth crave?
Rangteele ni amah liiha ah amiisak tah angka ngeh ih nakmok thun an, “Rangte ih seng sak ni Chiiala tong thukla rah ih ramram ih thun ha.”
6 Howbeit he giveth, greater, favour. Wherefore it saith—God, against the haughty, arrayeth himself, Whereas, unto the lowly, he giveth favour.
Enoothong Rangte ih tenthet kohali ah erah nang eh ju echaan thoon. Rangteele ni amah liiha, “Rangte ih khuupookte ah tanookka enoothong toongtang loong ah suh minchan koha.”
7 Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you:
Erah raangtaan ih sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte suh look an. Hakhoh luuwang ah naknop thuk an, eno sen reenawa heh esoon e ah.
8 Draw near unto God, and he will draw near unto you. Cleanse hands, sinners! Chasten hearts, double souls!
Rangte reenah thok han, eno heh sen reenah thok ha. Rangdah mina sen loong ah ih, sen lak ah saatiihaat ih an! Lonoite sen loong ah ih, senten senmong ah esa angthuk an!
9 Be miserable and lament and weep, let, your laughter, into lamentation, be turned, and, your joy, into dejection;
Thungthet e an, ehu e an, mikphi janhaat an; ten ni engit e lan ah ehu e thuk an, sen tenroon ah nak roon thuk an!
10 Be made low in presence of the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Sen teenuh teewah Teesu ngathong nah ehin ih hoon an, sen loong ah tonjoot ehan.
11 Be not speaking one against another, brethren! He that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against law, and judgeth law; Now, if, upon law, thou art passing judgment, thou art not a doer of law, but a judge!
Phoh ano loong, wasiit ih wasiit nak lenmakmui theng. An ih Kristaan wahoh mok lenmak ubah adoleh dande ubah, an ih Hootthe ba lenmak hu adoleh dande hu. An ih Hootthe dande ubah, Hootthe kapte takah angko, enoothong Hootthe dandeete ih hoonlu.
12 One, is Lawgiver and Judge—He who hath power to save and to destroy; but who art, thou, that judgest thy neighbour?
Hootthe dongthukte nyia dandeete Rangte heh luulu. Heh ih luulu jen puipang ah nyia thet haat ah. Mih dande suh an o ngeh ih thun hu?
13 Come now! ye that say—Today or To-morrow, we will journey unto this city here, and will spend there a year, and will trade and get gain, —
Emah liite loong ah ih, nga jeng ah boichaat an, “Chiinnyah lah angka bah uh rangkhah seng loong ah samnuthung nah tumkhoom kah ih, erah doh seng pangsiit than tong kah eno pheehoon mootkaat ah kah, eno ngun hantek bi kah ih.”
14 Men who are not versed in the morrow—of what sort your life [will be]; for ye are, a vapour—for a little, appearing, then, just disappearing!
Rangkhah an roidong ah mamah ang ah erah uh tajatko! An weekhot kah nyaamkhoom ah likhiik, erah pootsiit ba khot ah esaapmat eh ah.
15 Instead of your saying—If, the Lord, be pleased, we shall both, live and do this or that;
Sen loong ah amah jeng theng tan: “Teesu thung ang abah, seng loong ah songtong eno jirep jaatrep moot ah mokah ih.”
16 Whereas, now, are ye boasting in your pretensions: —All boasting like this, is, wicked,
Enoothong sen loong ah amadi khuupook elan; engaam elan; emah ngaam lan abah tapunka.
17 To him, therefore, who knoweth how to be doing, a right thing, and is not doing it, it is, sin, unto him.
Erah raangtaan ih, mootse kaatse ah ese ngeh ih jat eno lare keebah, rangdah ni moongli.
