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 who are scattered abroad: Greetings.
2 Sopi deitahteho, nangho hahsatna hon nahinphah tenguleh, hichu hachangpa kipana dinga chanpha changin kingaitouvin.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various trials,
3 Ajehchu natahsanu chu akipatep tengleh, natahsan chu khanglen ding ahi ti naheuve.
because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
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 endurance have its full effect, so that you may be perfect and complete, 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.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to 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 he must ask in faith without doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed about.
7 Hitobang mi chun Pakaiya kona imacha muding kinepna neihih hen.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Amaho kiphaldohna chu Pathen le vannoiya kihom khen'ah ahiuvin, chule abol jouseu chu detna neilou ahiuve.
A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Tahsan cha avaicha hon kisonna ding khat chu aneiyuve, ajeh chu Pathen in amaho ajabol ahitai.
The lowly brother should rejoice in being exalted,
10 Chule mihao ho chu Pathen in asuhnemu chu kithang-atnan neijou hen. Amaho chu loujaova pahcha neocha tobanga mola ahitauve.
and the rich man should rejoice in being made low, because he will pass away like a flower of grass.
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 rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in his pursuits.
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 who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who 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.
No one should say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God is not tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 Lhep patepna hi eima ho lung ngaichatna a hung kipanjia hichun eidoha boljiuva chule eipui mang jiu ahi.
But each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his own evil desires.
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.
And when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And when sin is fully grown, it brings forth death.
16 Hijeh chun sopite, puimang theiyin umhih'un.
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
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 and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of 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 gave us birth by the word of truth so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Kasopi deitahteho, hiche hi heuvin, nangho thungaina lama gang uvin lang, thuseiyin kino hih un.
So then, my beloved brothers, everyone should be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
20 Mihem lung hanna hin Pathen ngaichat chonphatna ahin lhutpoi.
For the anger of man does not produce 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.
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rampant wickedness, humbly receive 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 doers of the word and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
23 Ajeh chu nangman Thu chu nangaiya chule najui louva ahileh, phatvet a namai vea tobang nahi ding ahi.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.
24 Nangma le nangma nakivet jouva nache mang tengleh, itobang lim pua nahi nasumil jitai.
For he looks at himself and goes away, and then immediately forgets what he looks like.
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 who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts. He will be blessed in what he does.
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 anyone among you considers himself to be religious but does not bridle his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
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 and undefiled religion before God our Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
