James 1
1 James, a Servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, greets the Twelve Tribes that are living abroad.
Tengban Mapu amasung Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christtagi minai ama oiriba Jacob eihakna, Taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta ichai chaina leiriba Tengban Mapugi mi pumnamakta khurumjari.
2 My Brothers, whatever may be the temptations that beset you from time to time, always regard them as a reason for rejoicing,
Eigi ichil inaosa, makhal makha kayagi changyengba nakhoida lakpa matamda nasamak laibak phabani haina singthanou
3 knowing, as you do, that the testing of your faith develops endurance.
maramdi nakhoigi thajaba adu changyengba aduna khaangheiba thok-halli haiba nakhoina khang-i.
4 And let endurance do its work perfectly, so that you may be altogether perfect, and in no respect deficient.
Nakhoida kari amata awatpa leitana, changkhonba amasung mapung phaba oinaba, khaangheiba adugi thabak mapung phahallu.
5 If one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask wisdom from the God who gives freely to every one without reproaches, and it will be given to him.
Adubu nakhoigi naraktagi kanagumbana lousing watlabadi, mi pumnamakta maral thibidana pinaheiba Tengban Mapugi maphamda mahakna haijasanu aduga madu mangonda pibigani.
6 But let him ask with confidence, never doubting; for the man who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven hither and thither at the mercy of the wind —
Adubu mahakna haijaba matamda chingnaba leitana amadi thajana haijagadabani maramdi chingnaba mahak adudi nungsitna humdok humjin touduna puriba ipakki ithat-ipomgumbani.
7 Such a man must not expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,
Adugumba mioi aduna Mapu Ibungogi maphamdagi karigumba ama phanggani haina khandasanu.
8 vacillating as he is, irresolute at every turn.
Adugumba mioi adudi pukning ani longba amadi mahakna touba pumnamakta pukchel leptaba mini.
9 Let a Brother in humble circumstances be proud of his exalted position, but a rich Brother of his humiliation;
Lairaba thajabasing makhoibu Tengban Mapuna thanggatpiba matamda makhoina haraojasanu,
10 for the rich man will pass away ‘like the flower of the grass.’
aduga inakkhunba makhoi adu Tengban Mapuna nemthahanba matamda makhoina haraojasanu. Maramdi inakkhunba makhoi adu lamlakki leirangumna mangkhigani.
11 As the sun rises, and the hot wind blows, ‘the grass withers, its flower fades,’ and all its beauty is gone. So is it with the rich man. In the midst of his pursuits he will come to an untimely end.
Numitna akanba meisaga loinna thoklak-i amasung pambi adu kanghalli aduga mapan adu kelli amasung madugi phajaba saktam adu mangkhi. Matou adugumna inakkhunba makhoi adusu makhoigi lallon-itik touna touna adum mangkhigani.
12 Blessed is the man who remains firm under temptation, for, when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of Life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him.
Changyengba khaangliba mahak adu yaiphabani maramdi changyengba aduda mai paklaba mahak aduna, Tengban Mapuna mahakpu nungsiba misingda pibigani wasakpiba hingbagi luhup adu mahakna phangjagani.
13 Let no one say, when he is tempted, “It is God who is tempting me!” For God, who cannot be tempted to do wrong, does not himself tempt any one.
Eikhoibu changyengbana themba matamda, “Athemba asi Tengban Mapudagi lakpani” haina eikhoina khak hairoidabani. Maramdi Tengban Mapubu phattabana themba ngamde, amasung Ibungo mahakna kana amatabu themba toude.
14 A man is in every case tempted by his own passions — allured and enticed by them.
Adubu eikhoi isagi phattaba apambasingna eikhoibu chingthoktuna langda thuhallabada eikhoibu themmi.
15 Then Passion conceives and gives birth to Sin, and Sin, on reaching maturity, brings forth Death.
Adudagi eikhoigi phattaba apambasing aduna mirollabada pap pok-i, aduga pap aduna mapung pharabada siba pok-i.
16 Do not be deceived, my dear Brothers.
Eigi nungsiraba ichil-inaosa, nakhoibu minamhan-ganu.
17 Every good thing given us, and every perfect gift, is from above, and comes down to us from the Maker of the Lights in the heavens, who is himself never subject to change or to eclipse.
Aphaba amadi mapungphaba khudon khudingmak swardagini, swargagi mangalsingbu sembiba Tengban Mapudagi lakpani, mahakti mamigumna hongba amadi leithokpa leite.
18 Because he so willed, he gave us Life, through the Message of the Truth, so that we should be, as it were, an earnest of still further creations.
Ibungo mahak masamakki ningbagi matung inna achumba wahei adugi mapanna mahakna eikhoibu pokpire, madu mahakki khutsem pumnamakki marakta eikhoina ahanba mapham phangnabani.
19 Mark this, my dear Brothers — Let every one be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry;
Eigi nungsiraba ichil inaosa, masi ningsingbiyu! Mi khudingna tabada thuba, aduga ngangbada tappa amasung saobada tappa oigadabani.
20 for the anger of man does not forward the righteous purpose of God.
Mioibagi asaobana Tengban Mapuna oihanningba aphabasingsing adu purakte.
21 Therefore, have done with all filthiness and whatever wickedness still remains, and in a humble spirit receive that Message which has been planted in your hearts and is able to save your souls.
Maram aduna amotpa amasung phattaba lamchat pumnamak thadok-u. Nakhoibu kanbiba ngamba, nakhoigi thamoinungda thakhraba wa adu nolukna lousillu.
22 Put that Message into practice, and do not merely listen to it — deceiving yourselves.
Wahei adu icham-chamna tabata oiduna nasabu minamjahan-ganu, madugi mahutta hairiba adu thabak oina pangthok-u.
23 For, when any one listens to it and does not practice it, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror.
Nahakna wa adu taraga thabak oina pangthoktrabadi, nahakti mingselda mahakmakki maithong yengba mi amagumbani
24 He looks at himself, then goes on his way,
aduga mahak masabu yenglaga, chatkhraga mahak yengbada kari malli haibadu khudakta kaothok-i.
25 but he who looks carefully into the perfect Law, the Law of Freedom, and continues to do so, not listening to it and then forgetting it, but putting it into practice — that man will be blessed in what he does.
Ningtamba piba mapung phaba wayel yathang aduda pukning changna tattana yengba kanagumba mi haibadi makhoina taraba adu kaodaduna thabak oina pangthokpasingda Tengban Mapuna makhoina toujaba khudingmakta yaiphabata oihanbigani.
26 When a man appears to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue, but imposes upon his own conscience, that man’s religious observances are valueless.
Nakhoigi narakta kanagumba amana masa mathantabu laining chetpani haina singthanajabra? Karigumba nahakki narei adu nahakna khudum chandrabadi nahakki laining adu arembani aduga nasa nathantabu minamjabani.
27 That religious observance which is pure and spotless in the eyes of God our Father is this — to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the world.
Ipa Ibungo Tengban Mapuna singthanaba asengba amadi achumba laining adudi: mama mapa leijadrab angangsing amadi lukhrabisingbu awa anada yengsinbiba amadi taibangpan asina mot-han-gadaba adudagi tonganna leiba adubuni.
