James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
Rangte nyia Teesu Jisu Kristo laksuh, Jeems taangnawa: Mongrep noongrep ni Rangte mina loong tiisoontla loong suh jengseera.
2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
Joon awaan loong, sen taangnah jaatrep phate joonnaam thok haadoh khangraangse ngeh ih li an,
3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
tiimnge liidi erah likhiik phate joonnaam ah sen tuumaang nawa ih jen tanno juuba, jirep adoh jen naan eh an.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Sen ih jat etheng, jen naan ih tanno roidong doh jirep ah jen an, eno juuba tiim lampo nah uh sen epun nyia lasoot lasaam ang an.
5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
Enoothong sengdung dowa o ang an bah uh mongtham ese laje kanbah, sen ih Rangte rangsoom an heh ih kot ehan; tiimnge liidi Rangte ih loongtang suh larat lapat thang ih minchan ih chokoha.
6 But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
Enoothong mabah rangsoom an, tenchi lah angthang ih hanpi an. O tenchi angla erabah juusih ni pong ih juutak saapmot ah likhiik.
7 For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
Sen loong emah mok ang anbah, nyia tiim re an bah uh sen thung nah lajen phanthun kanbah,
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Teesu taangnawa echoh eh ih ngeh ih nakmok thun an.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Changthih Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih toonjoh adoh tenroon ang theng,
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
adoleh changteng Kristaan loong ah Rangte ih datthiin ih adoh tenroon ang theng. Tiimnge liidi changteng ah woma ni popong kah mutdat ah likhiik ih mah ah.
11 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 the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
Rangsa ah khaamloolo ih dong tahaano nyia mi taano bangphook ah tekraat eha; hepoong uh takah poongka, adoleh hejaase ah uh emat e ah. Erah likhiikkhiik changteng loong ah neng pheehoon mootkaat damdoh thet haat ah.
12 Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
Phate joonnaam di o ih tuumaang roh eha erah juuba tenroon, tiimnge liidi erah thaak taari ha jen ano, heh mongnook loong asuh Rangte ih kakhamta jun ih hethaang ah roidong koh ah.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
Erah likhiik thaak taari heedoh, seng ih mabah uh lajaatjaat jeng theng, “Arah thaak taari hali ah Rangte taangnawa.” Tiimnge liidi Rangte ah ethih ekhah ih tami thaak taari ka, he teewah ih o uh tathaak taari ka.
14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
Enoothong seng tenthun ethih nyia nyamnyook ih dat hoom hali.
15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Eno seng tenthun ethih ekhah rah ih rangdah dongsam thukla nyia dongtup ha; erah lih adi rangdah ah hantek phong taano etek ih thukla.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Joonte loong erah raangtaan ih naktoom mokwaan han!
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
Ranglakkot ese nyia epun lakkot ah rangmong nawa ra hala; rangmong dowa weephaak Dongsiitte Rangte reenawa ra hala, heh lekte tah angka nyia rangnak takah ngaak ang thukka.
18 Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
Hethung hetak nawa ih nyia heh jengkhaap amiisak nawa ih dongtup tahe, tiimnge liidi mathan dongsiitta erah loong tung dowa seng loong ah phangkhoh tiik arah potiik loong ang theng.
19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
Joonte loong, sen ih arah samthun roh etheng! Warep ih boichaat ah jaalo ih boichaat theng, enoothong ejeng nyia ekhat ah siak lakhat theng.
20 for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Mina tenkhat ih Rangte kateng tenthun nyia mootkaat ah mabah uh tachoka.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
Erah raangtaan ih lalangka lampo ni jangse li dowa nyia ethih mootkaat loong dowa haloh ang theng. Jirep ah Rangte suh look anno sen tenthun ni tiimjaat jengkhaap dong thukla erah ah kaptheng, erah ih juuba jen puipang han.
22 But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
Heh jengkhaap ah boichaat luulu ih anno sen teenuh teewah nak mokwaan an; erah nang ebah erah chaat han jengkhaap kap suh jangse an.
23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
Sen ih jengkhaap ah boichaat luulu ih anno erah jun ih jangse lareeraang kanbah, theeri ni adoleh samsok ni o mina ih heh teenuh teewah likhiikkhiik ih japtup arah likhiik ih ang an.
24 for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
Erah loong ah ebah neng teenuh teewah ah samkhikhih ih sok ano dokkhoom kala eno hethe hekhoh tiim likhiik angko taaja erah jaasiit di lak haat ha.
25 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 man will be blessed in what he does.
Enoothong marah hootthe mina puipang suh epunthoon ah, labeehaat thang ih erah hootthe ah kap anbah nyia boichaat luulu lah ethang ih jangse ih reeraang pakna anbah—sen tiim re an erah doh Rangte ih romseetam kohan.
26 If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
O ih bah uh sen jaachi ni ngah thooroom mina ngeh ih tam thun han? Heh tuihih ah laplap ih moot abah heh thooroom ah thaangmuh, erabah heh teeteewah ba mokwaan ha.
27 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.
Sen loong Wah Rangte ih kilingling nyia amiimi thooroom liiha abah amah suh liiha: numuh wamuh nyia numuh jooti loong ah neng chamchoh doh chosok theng adoleh arah mongrep dowa mih thet hoomjih loong dowa haloh ang theng.
