James 1
1 JAMES, a servant of God, and of our Lord Jesus the Messiah; to the twelve tribes dispersed among the Gentiles; greeting peace.
Bawi Jesuh Khritaw ja Pamhnama mpya Jakuk üngkhyüh ni, Khawmdek avan üng ngpyeng hükie Pamhnama khyang avan ning jah hnukset veng.
2 Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials.
Ka püie, nami cehnak üng akhak mjüküm a lawpha üng na kam dawki tia namimät ngaiei u,
3 For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience.
akhake cun nami jumeinak naw a näng üng nami yah vai ta cuneinak khawh ni tia nami ksingki.
4 And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing.
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 And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will 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 ask in faith, not hesitating: he who hesitateth is like the waves of the sea, which the wind agitateth.
Lüpi na ktaiyü üng käh uplat lü jumnak am ktaiyüa. Uplatkia khyang cun khawkhi naw hmut lü ngnawk hüki mpanglai üng tängki ni.
7 And let not that man expect to receive any thing of 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 who is hesitating in his mind, and unstable in all his ways.
9 And let the depressed brother rejoice, in his elevation;
Mpyenksekiea Khritjane cän Pamhnam naw a jah jähsawn üng je u lü,
10 and the rich, in his depression; because, like the flower of an herb, so he passeth 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 riseth in its heat, and drieth up the herb; and its flower falleth, and the beauty of its appearance perisheth: so also the rich man withereth in his ways.
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 Blessed is the man who endureth temptations; so that when he is proved he may receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to 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 when he is tempted, say, I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted with evils, nor doth he tempt any man.
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 every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away.
Lüpi mimäta hlükaweie akse naw jah man lü a jah kaiha kcün üng ni hlawhlepnak mi khamei.
15 And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.
Mi hlükawei akse naw mpyai lü mkhyenak a canak ni, mkhyenak cun däm law lü thihnak a canak law ni.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Ka püie, u naw pi käh ning jah mhleimhlak kawm!
17 Every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no mutation, not even the shadow of change.
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 He saw fit, and begat us by the word of truth; that we might be the first-fruits of his creatures.
Amäta ngjak'hlüa ngthungtak üngkhyüh a jah xün lawsaka kyase, a mhnünmceng nakütea ksunga akcüka hnün mi yahkie ni.
19 And be ye, my beloved brethren, every one of you, swift to hear, and slow to speak; and slow to wrath:
Ka püie, hin hin süm ua! Avan cän ngjaknak üng jang lü pyensaknak ja mlungsonak üng cü yah khai ni.
20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Nghngicima mlungsonak naw ngsungpyunkia Pamhnama nümnak cun am yah thei.
21 Wherefore, remove far from you all impurity, and the abundance of wickedness; and, with meekness, receive the word that is implanted in our nature, which is able to vivify these 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 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only; and do not deceive yourselves.
Ngjaknak sawxat üng namät käh mhlei lü acun cän ngneisak na a.
23 For if any man shall be a hearer of the word, and not a doer of it, he will be like one who seeth his 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 seeth himself, and passeth on, and forgetteth what a 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 every one that looketh upon the perfect law of liberty and abideth in it, is not a hearer of something to be forgotten, but a doer of the things; and he will be blessed in his work.
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 And if any one thinketh that he worshippeth God, and doth not restrain his tongue, but his heart deceiveth him; his worship 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 For the worship that is pure and holy before God the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and that one keep himself unspotted 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.
