Jacob 1
1 Hiche lekhathot hi Pathen le Pakai Yeshua Christa soh, Jacob a kon ahi. keiman Judah mi atahsan ho Israel phungsom le ni gamtina kithecheh ho henga dinga kajih ahi. Chibai!
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are of the Dispersion, greeting.
2 Sopi deitahteho, nangho hahsatna hon nahinphah tenguleh, hichu hachangpa kipana dinga chanpha changin kingaitouvin.
Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations;
3 Ajehchu natahsanu chu akipatep tengleh, natahsan chu khanglen ding ahi ti naheuve.
Knowing that the proof of your faith worketh patience.
4 Hijehchun khansah un, ajeh chu nathoh hatnau chu ahung khan'a abulhin tengleh nangho nabulhinuva chule nachamkim uva, imacha kiphahsamna neilou nahi dingu ahi.
And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
5 Nanghon chihna na-ngaichat uva ahileh, hongphaltah IPathen'u koma chun thum'un, chutileh Aman napeh dingu ahi. Nathum jeh uva chu Aman nahouset louhel dingu ahi.
But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 Hinlah Ama koma nathum tenguleh Pathen bou natahsan chu kicheh hen. Lunglinglau hih un, ajeh chu atahsan detlou mi chu twikhanglen kinong le detna neilou huimut lon le tobang hiding ahi.
But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
7 Hitobang mi chun Pakaiya kona imacha muding kinepna neihih hen.
For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord;
8 Amaho kiphaldohna chu Pathen le vannoiya kihom khen'ah ahiuvin, chule abol jouseu chu detna neilou ahiuve.
a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Tahsan cha avaicha hon kisonna ding khat chu aneiyuve, ajeh chu Pathen in amaho ajabol ahitai.
But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:
10 Chule mihao ho chu Pathen in asuhnemu chu kithang-atnan neijou hen. Amaho chu loujaova pahcha neocha tobanga mola ahitauve.
and the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 Nisa sat chu ahungsa cheh cheh in hampa chu asang gop in: Pahcha neocha chu apul in chule ahoina jong amollha jitai. Hitobang a chu, mihaoho jong athilbol doh jouseu toh mollha jeng diu ahiuve.
For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass; and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his goings.
12 Patepna le lhepna a thoh hattah'a pang ho chu Pathen in phatthei aboh ding ahi: Chujoutah chule Pathen in Ama ngailuho athutep hinna lallukhuh chu amahon asan dingu ahi.
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him.
13 Chule nanghon lhepna nato tenguleh geldoh un, “Pathen in eilhep patep ahi” tin hinsei hih beh un. Pathen chu thil dihlou bol dingin akilhem patep khapoi chule Ama chun koima alhem khapoi.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
14 Lhep patepna hi eima ho lung ngaichatna a hung kipanjia hichun eidoha boljiuva chule eipui mang jiu ahi.
but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 Hiche lung ngaichatna ho hin chonset natoh ahin sodohji ahi. Chule chonset chu akhangtou dia akiphal teng leh, hichun thina ahin sohdoh ji ahi.
Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
16 Hijeh chun sopite, puimang theiyin umhih'un.
Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Ipi hileh apha le achamkim chu I-Pau Pathena hungkon ahi, Ama chun van hoa vah jouse asem ahi. Ama akichonle theile banga kikhel jing ahipoi.
Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.
18 Ama chun eiho dinga Athutah chu eipeh tah jeh uva pengthah dia eilhendoh u ahi. Chule eiho hi athilsem jouse lah a agou manlu tah chu ihung hiu ahitai.
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Kasopi deitahteho, hiche hi heuvin, nangho thungaina lama gang uvin lang, thuseiyin kino hih un.
Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 Mihem lung hanna hin Pathen ngaichat chonphatna ahin lhutpoi.
for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Hijeh chun, anen anamse chule na hinkhouva aphalou jouse chu paidoh un, chule Pathen in nalunguva akhum Thu chu kisanun, ajeh chu hichun na lhagaovu ahuhhing thei ahi.
Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 Pathen Thu chu moh ngaitho hih un. Pathen Thun asei chu bolteiyun. Achuti louva ahileh nang le nang ki-ngolbol nahi ding ahitai.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.
23 Ajeh chu nangman Thu chu nangaiya chule najui louva ahileh, phatvet a namai vea tobang nahi ding ahi.
For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
24 Nangma le nangma nakivet jouva nache mang tengleh, itobang lim pua nahi nasumil jitai.
for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 Hinlah nangman nachamlhat sahthei achamkim kei dan chu chingthei tah'a navet a, chule hichun ipi asei nasuh mil louva najui leh, Pathen in hichu nabol jeh a phatthei naboh ding ahi.
But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
26 Nangma hou ngaisah a nakigel a ahia nakam nathunun louva ahileh, nangma tah kingol bol nahin, na Pathen hou chu pannabei hiya ahi.
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pa Pathen mitmua hou thengsel le adihtah chu–meithai ho chule nuneilou le pa neilou ho alunglhah nauva gakhotoa chule vannoiyin suhboh ding jahnom lou hiya ahi.
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep himself unspotted from the world.
