Jeems 4
1 Sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui loong ah manawa thok hala? Erah loong ah hansi tenroon raangtaan ih sen ten ni tongthuk thoidi, sen jaachi ni rookmui jengmui pak anglan.
Where do wars and contentions among you come from? Is it not from this: from your own desires, which battle within your members?
2 Sen loong ah ih jirep ah jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah thoidi tek haat esuh bansok han; sen loong ah ih chichangchang taat jam han, enoothong erah loong ah tachoh kan, erah tungkaangdi changrook anglan. Sen loong ah ih marah jam han tachoh kan tiimnge liidi sen ih Rangte jiin nawa erah tasuh kan.
You desire, and you do not have. You envy and you kill, and you are unable to obtain. You argue and you fight, and you do not have, because you do not ask.
3 Adoleh mabah suh an erah di tachoh kan, tiimnge liidi sen tenthun ah ethih; jirep jaatrep sen ih jam han ah sen teenuh teewah hansi tenroon nah maak suh jam han.
You ask and you do not receive, because you ask badly, so that you may use it toward your own desires.
4 Tuumaang lajeete mina loong! Sen loong ah ih tatam jatkan mongrep damdi joon awaan angla rah Rangte piiara ngeh ah? Sen loong ah ih mongrep damdi joon awaan angsuh liihan abah, sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte piiara ba eh hoon an.
You adulterers! Do you not know that the friendship of this world is hostile to God? Therefore, whoever has chosen to be a friend of this world has been made into an enemy of God.
5 Rangteele ni amah liiha ah amiisak tah angka ngeh ih nakmok thun an, “Rangte ih seng sak ni Chiiala tong thukla rah ih ramram ih thun ha.”
Or do you think that Scripture says in vain: “The spirit which lives within you desires unto envy?”
6 Enoothong Rangte ih tenthet kohali ah erah nang eh ju echaan thoon. Rangteele ni amah liiha, “Rangte ih khuupookte ah tanookka enoothong toongtang loong ah suh minchan koha.”
But he gives a greater grace. Therefore he says: “God resists the arrogant, but he gives grace to the humble.”
7 Erah raangtaan ih sen teenuh teewah ah Rangte suh look an. Hakhoh luuwang ah naknop thuk an, eno sen reenawa heh esoon e ah.
Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Rangte reenah thok han, eno heh sen reenah thok ha. Rangdah mina sen loong ah ih, sen lak ah saatiihaat ih an! Lonoite sen loong ah ih, senten senmong ah esa angthuk an!
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners! And purify your hearts, you duplicitous souls!
9 Thungthet e an, ehu e an, mikphi janhaat an; ten ni engit e lan ah ehu e thuk an, sen tenroon ah nak roon thuk an!
Be afflicted: mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your gladness into sorrow.
10 Sen teenuh teewah Teesu ngathong nah ehin ih hoon an, sen loong ah tonjoot ehan.
Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.
11 Phoh ano loong, wasiit ih wasiit nak lenmakmui theng. An ih Kristaan wahoh mok lenmak ubah adoleh dande ubah, an ih Hootthe ba lenmak hu adoleh dande hu. An ih Hootthe dande ubah, Hootthe kapte takah angko, enoothong Hootthe dandeete ih hoonlu.
Brothers, do not choose to slander one another. Whoever slanders his brother, or whoever judges his brother, slanders the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12 Hootthe dongthukte nyia dandeete Rangte heh luulu. Heh ih luulu jen puipang ah nyia thet haat ah. Mih dande suh an o ngeh ih thun hu?
There is one lawgiver and one judge. He is able to destroy, and he is able to set free.
13 Emah liite loong ah ih, nga jeng ah boichaat an, “Chiinnyah lah angka bah uh rangkhah seng loong ah samnuthung nah tumkhoom kah ih, erah doh seng pangsiit than tong kah eno pheehoon mootkaat ah kah, eno ngun hantek bi kah ih.”
But who are you to judge your neighbor? Consider this, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into that city, and certainly we will spend a year there, and we will do business, and we will make our profit,”
14 Rangkhah an roidong ah mamah ang ah erah uh tajatko! An weekhot kah nyaamkhoom ah likhiik, erah pootsiit ba khot ah esaapmat eh ah.
consider that you do not know what will be tomorrow.
15 Sen loong ah amah jeng theng tan: “Teesu thung ang abah, seng loong ah songtong eno jirep jaatrep moot ah mokah ih.”
For what is your life? It is a mist that appears for a brief time, and afterwards will vanish away. So what you ought to say is: “If the Lord wills,” or, “If we live,” we will do this or that.
16 Enoothong sen loong ah amadi khuupook elan; engaam elan; emah ngaam lan abah tapunka.
But now you exult in your arrogance. All such exultation is wicked.
17 Erah raangtaan ih, mootse kaatse ah ese ngeh ih jat eno lare keebah, rangdah ni moongli.
Therefore, he who knows that he ought to do a good thing, and does not do it, for him it is a sin.
