Jacob 1
1 Tengban Mapu amasung Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christtagi minai ama oiriba Jacob eihakna, Taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta ichai chaina leiriba Tengban Mapugi mi pumnamakta khurumjari.
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 Eigi ichil inaosa, makhal makha kayagi changyengba nakhoida lakpa matamda nasamak laibak phabani haina singthanou
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
3 maramdi nakhoigi thajaba adu changyengba aduna khaangheiba thok-halli haiba nakhoina khang-i.
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 Nakhoida kari amata awatpa leitana, changkhonba amasung mapung phaba oinaba, khaangheiba adugi thabak mapung phahallu.
Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 Adubu nakhoigi naraktagi kanagumbana lousing watlabadi, mi pumnamakta maral thibidana pinaheiba Tengban Mapugi maphamda mahakna haijasanu aduga madu mangonda pibigani.
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; and it will be given to him.
6 Adubu mahakna haijaba matamda chingnaba leitana amadi thajana haijagadabani maramdi chingnaba mahak adudi nungsitna humdok humjin touduna puriba ipakki ithat-ipomgumbani.
But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 Adugumba mioi aduna Mapu Ibungogi maphamdagi karigumba ama phanggani haina khandasanu.
For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 Adugumba mioi adudi pukning ani longba amadi mahakna touba pumnamakta pukchel leptaba mini.
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
9 Lairaba thajabasing makhoibu Tengban Mapuna thanggatpiba matamda makhoina haraojasanu,
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 aduga inakkhunba makhoi adu Tengban Mapuna nemthahanba matamda makhoina haraojasanu. Maramdi inakkhunba makhoi adu lamlakki leirangumna mangkhigani.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
11 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.
For the sun arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
12 Changyengba khaangliba mahak adu yaiphabani maramdi changyengba aduda mai paklaba mahak aduna, Tengban Mapuna mahakpu nungsiba misingda pibigani wasakpiba hingbagi luhup adu mahakna phangjagani.
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love him.
13 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.
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Adubu eikhoi isagi phattaba apambasingna eikhoibu chingthoktuna langda thuhallabada eikhoibu themmi.
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Adudagi eikhoigi phattaba apambasing aduna mirollabada pap pok-i, aduga pap aduna mapung pharabada siba pok-i.
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
16 Eigi nungsiraba ichil-inaosa, nakhoibu minamhan-ganu.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 Aphaba amadi mapungphaba khudon khudingmak swardagini, swargagi mangalsingbu sembiba Tengban Mapudagi lakpani, mahakti mamigumna hongba amadi leithokpa leite.
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
18 Ibungo mahak masamakki ningbagi matung inna achumba wahei adugi mapanna mahakna eikhoibu pokpire, madu mahakki khutsem pumnamakki marakta eikhoina ahanba mapham phangnabani.
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 Eigi nungsiraba ichil inaosa, masi ningsingbiyu! Mi khudingna tabada thuba, aduga ngangbada tappa amasung saobada tappa oigadabani.
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 Mioibagi asaobana Tengban Mapuna oihanningba aphabasingsing adu purakte.
for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 Maram aduna amotpa amasung phattaba lamchat pumnamak thadok-u. Nakhoibu kanbiba ngamba, nakhoigi thamoinungda thakhraba wa adu nolukna lousillu.
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Wahei adu icham-chamna tabata oiduna nasabu minamjahan-ganu, madugi mahutta hairiba adu thabak oina pangthok-u.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 Nahakna wa adu taraga thabak oina pangthoktrabadi, nahakti mingselda mahakmakki maithong yengba mi amagumbani
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 aduga mahak masabu yenglaga, chatkhraga mahak yengbada kari malli haibadu khudakta kaothok-i.
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.
25 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.
But he who looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
26 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.
If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
27 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.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
