James 2
1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Eigi ichil inaosa, eikhoigi Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christta, matik mangalgi Mapu Ibungobu thajaba mising oina, mapanthonggi mawong matou yenglaga nakhoina misingda lamchat chatpa khak touganu.
2 For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in fine apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Nakhoigi tinaphamda sanagi khudop siba amadi phajaba phijet setpa inakkhunba nupa ama aduga amotpa phi setpa lairaba nupa ama changlakpa thoklabadi,
3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say to him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
maduda nakhoina aphaba phi set chaba mi aduda henna ikai khumnaba uttuna mangonda asumna hairabadi, “Aphaba phamphamlang asida phambiyu,” aduga lairaba mi adudana, “Nahakti aduda lepu,” nattraga “Eigi khongnetpham manak asida phammu” haina hairabadi,
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
adu oirabadi nakhoi nasen-gi narakta misak mimai yengba amadi phattaba wakhalna wayenbasing oiba nattra?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
Nungsiraba ichil inaosa, eina haibasi tabiyu! Taibangpangi mityengda lairabani haina singthanaba misingbu thajabada inakkhunnanaba amadi Ibungo mahakpu nungsibasingda pibigani wasakpikhiba Ningthou leibak adu phangnanaba Tengban Mapuna khandokpiba nattra?
6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
Adubu nakhoinadi lairabasingbu ikai khumnabide! Nakhoibu neihatpiba adu inakkhunbasingna nattra? Nakhoibu namduna wayelsangda chingduna puba adu makhoina nattra?
7 Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
Nakhoigi mapu oiriba mahakki aphaba minglen adubu thina ngangbasing adu makhoising asi nattra?
8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Mapugi puyada yaoriba Ningthou leibakki wayel yathang haibadi, “Nangna nanggi keirol leikaibu nasamakkumna nungsiyu,” haiba adubu illabadi, nakhoina achumba adu tourabani.
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
Adubu nakhoina misingbu makhoigi mapanthonggi matung-inna misak mimai yenglabadi, nakhoi pap toubani, aduga nakhoina Wayel Yathang thugaiba ama oina wayel yathangna nakhoibu aranba tahalli.
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
Kanagumba amana Wayel Yathang apumba ngakle hairaga, amakhak ngaktrabadi, wayel yathang apumba thugaibagi maral leirabani.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou committest no adultery, yet if thou killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Maramdi Ibungo mahakna haiba, “Migi nupi migi nupa ngangnaganu,” asisu hai “Nahakna mi hatkanu.” Nahakna migi nupi migi nupa ngangnabagi thabak toudraga, nahakna mi hatlabadi, nahak Wayel Yathang thugaiba mi ama haibadu oire.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Eikhoibu ningtamhanbiba Wayel Yathang aduna wayen-gadaba misinggumna, nakhoina ngangsu ngang-u tousu tou.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shown no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
Maramdi minungsi leitaba mahak adu Tengban Mapuna wayenba matamda minungsi utloi, Wayenbabudi minungsina ngammi.
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man saith he hath faith, and hath not works? can faith save him?
Eigi ichil inaosa, kanagumba mi amana mahakki thajaba lei hairaga, thabak yaodrabadi, maduda kari tongjaba leibage? Adugumba thajaba aduna makhoibu kanbiba ngamgadra?
15 If a brother or sister is naked, and destitute of daily food,
Kanagumba nachin nanao nattraga nachan nache ama setnaba phi amadi nongmagi channaba chara leitrabada,
16 And one of you saith to them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; but ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
nakhoi kanagumba amana makhoida asumna haibada, “Tengban Mapuna nakhoida yaipha thoujal pibiba oisanu! Lumna leiyu, ningthina cha-thakpiyu!” hairaga nakhoina makhoigi hakchanggi tangaiphadraba potchang adu pibidrabadi, madugi wadu hairubagi kanaba kari leibage?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Maduga chap manna thajabasuni, thabak yaodrabadi, madu asibani.
18 But, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
Adubu kanagumba mi amana haigani, “Nanggidi thajaba lei aduga eigi thabak lei.” Nahakki thajaba adu thabak yaodana eingonda utlu, aduga eigi thajaba adu eina nangonda eigi thabakna utke.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and tremble.
Tengban Mapu amakhak lei haiba asi nahakna thajei. Madu Aphabani! Lai phattabasingnasu madu thajei amasung kiduna thak thak nik-i.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
He apangba mi, thabak yaodaba thajabadi kanadabani haiba nahakna khangningbra?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
Eikhoigi ipa-ipu oiriba Abraham-bu achumba chatpa ama oina karamna singthanakhibage? Madu mahakki thabakki mapannani haibadi mahakna mahakki machanupa Isaac-pu latnapungda katkhiba matam adudani.
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Nahak uba ngamdabra? Mahakki thajaba adu mahakki thabaksingga loinna chatminnei; mahakki thabakki mapanna mahakki thajaba adu mapung phahalli.
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
“Abraham-na Tengban Mapubu thajei, aduga madu mangonda achumba chatpa ama oina singthanabire,” haiba Tengban Mapugi wahei adu thungle. Maram aduna mahakpu Tengban Mapugi marup haina koure.
24 Ye see then that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Mi amabu mahakki touriba thabakki mapanna achumba chatpa ama oina singthanei madu thajaba ngaktana natte haiba nakhoina ure.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
Matou adugumna oktabi Rahab-tasu oikhi. Mahakna toukhiba thabak adugi mapanna haibadi Israel-gi lanjabasing adu lousinbiba amadi makhoibu atoppa lambi amada nanthokpada mateng pangkhiba aduna mahakpu achumba chatpa oina singthanabikhi.
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Maramdi thawai yaodraba hakchangna sibagum, thabak yaodaba thajaba adusu asibani.
