James 5
1 Listen to me, you rich men, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming upon you!
Eno amadoh, changteng sen loong ah ih nga jeng ah boichaat an! Sen loong taangnah chamthih naangkhah thok e hala asuh mikphi janhaat an!
2 Your riches have wasted away, and your clothes have become moth-eaten.
Sen loong changteng ah ram ih sot ha, nyia sennyuh senkhat ah khunchoong ih saha.
3 Your gold and silver are rusted; and the rust on them shall be evidence against you, and shall eat into your very flesh. It was fire, so to speak, that you stored up for yourselves in these last days.
Senhun senkom loong ah ram ih sot ha, eno erah ram ah sen haaki ang ah eno we ih matkhaam ah likhiik ih sen si ah matphak han. Amadi rangwu thoonkaat damdam eh nyam acham ah lomthiin ehan.
4 I tell you, the wages of the labourers who mowed your fields, which you have been fraudulently keeping back, are crying out against you, and the outcries of your reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts!
Sen phek ni mootkaatte loong asuh lakbi thaang uh takoh kan. Nenghu nengri ah boichaat ih an! Sen chamkhante hu ari ah Teesu Elong Rangte na ni thokla.
5 You have lived on earth a life of extravagance and luxury; you have indulged your fancies in a time of bloodshed.
Arah hah adi sen roidong ah hansi tenroon ni laboot labe ih tonglan. Tek haat rangwu raangtaan eba sen teenuh teewah ah totjook han.
6 You have condemned, you have murdered, the Righteous One! Must not God be opposed to you?
Sen ih nokbaang toongtang loong ah dut haat ehan nyia tek haat ehan, eno neng tangaak jengra.
7 Be patient, then, Brothers, till the Coming of the Lord. Even the farmer has to wait for the precious fruit of the earth, watching over it patiently, till it has had the spring and summer rains.
Joon awaan loong, erah raangtaan ih, Teesu maang raara banban ih bantong theng. Phek mootkaatte ah taatsok thaak an, heji hecham se thuk suh heh phek ah banban ih bansok ha. Heh ih moihu nyia sonop rangphaat ah bansokroh eha.
8 And you must be patient also, and not be discouraged; for the Lord’s Coming is near.
Sen uh emamah ih bansok theng. Sen loong laalom ah rongtangtang ang theng, timnge liidi Teesu kaat rangwu ah ethok e hala.
9 Do not make complaints against one another, Brothers, or judgment will be passed upon you. The Judge is already standing at the door!
Joon awaan loong, Rangte ih naktoom dande han suh, sen jaachi nah wasiit ih wasiit nak thetbaat liilaangmui an. Dande te warah dongkhoom nanah e hala nyia thok esuh bantongla.
10 Brothers, as an example of the patient endurance of suffering, take the Prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Joon awaan loong, Teesu mendi jengkongta khowah loong ah dokthun an. Neng loong ah chamnaang damdi tiimthan naan rumta loong ah tiitthaak ih kap an.
11 We count those who displayed such endurance blessed! You have heard, too, of Job’s endurance, and have seen what the Lord’s purpose was, for ‘the Lord is full of pity and compassion.’
Neng loong ah ih jen naan thoidi neng suh tenroon ngeh ih poon hi. Sen ih Job ih mathan naanta erah echaat ehan, eno lithoon ni Job suh Teesu ih mamah ih kota erah uh jat ehan. Tiimnge liidi Teesu ah mih minchante nyia tenthette.
12 Above all things, my Brothers, never take an oath, either by heaven, or by earth, or by anything else. With you let ‘Yes’ suffice for yes, and ‘No’ for no, so that you may escape condemnation.
Joon awaan loong, thoontang nang ih jat ejih angla kakham andoh thoom lahoon theng. Rang mendoh angkoja, hah mendoh angkoja adoleh tiimjaat mendoh ankoja lathoom theng. Sen ih thang ih andoh “Em” luulu li theng, adoleh edaan ih andoh “tah angka” luulu li theng, eno juuba Rangte ih tadande ru.
13 If any of you is in trouble, let him pray; if any one is happy, let him sing hymns.
Sen jaachi ni cham anaangte eje tam ah? Neng loong ah ih rangsoom theng. Sen loong chamchi ni o bah uh tenroonte eje tam ah? Neng loong ah ih rangphoong rangsoom bongkaat bong theng.
14 If any one of you is ill, let him send for the Officers of the Church, and let them pray over him, after anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
Sengdung ni khoisatte o ang abah uh eje tam ah? Neng ih chaas mihak phokhoh loong ah poontheng, neng loong ah ih rangsoom koh ano khoisatte sak nah olip thi ih Teesu mendoh hut theng.
15 The prayer offered in faith will save the man who is sick, and the Lord will raise him from his bed; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Tuumaang ano soom adi khoisatte ah ede ela; eno Teesu ih hesak hesi ah de thuk ano heh ih rangdah reeta ah biin anaan hoon ah.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be cured. Great is the power of a good man’s fervent prayer.
Erah raangtaan ih, wasiit ih wasiit mokre ah ebaatmui etheng eno rangsoom kotmui theng, eno juuba sen loong ah ede ih an. Mina eseete rangsoom adi chaan aphaan jeela.
17 Elijah was only a man like ourselves, but, when he prayed fervently that it might not rain, no rain fell upon the land for three years and a half.
Elija ah seng likhiikkhiik mina angta. Heh ih rang naktoom phaat ah ngeh ih hethung hetak ah koh ano rangsoomta, eno hah ni paangjom paangthom rang taphaatta.
18 And, when he prayed again, the clouds brought rain, and the land bore crops.
Eno rangphaat raangtaan ih rang we soom kano, rangphaat ah we phaat, ji acham loong ah seemi eta.
19 My Brothers, should one of you be led astray from the Truth, and someone bring him back again,
Joon awaan loong, sengdung dowa o bah uh amiisak lampo dowa doksoon ano wahoh ih ngaaksiit haabah,
20 be sure that he who brings a sinner back from his mistaken ways will save that man’s soul from Death, and throw a veil over countless sins.
arah samthun an: o mina ih rangdah mina lalangka lam nawa ngaaksiit ha bah rangdah mina la ah etek nawa puipangha eno rangdah hantek saasiit ha.
