James 1
1 James, a servant, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, —unto the twelve tribes that are in the dispersion, Wishes joy.
Pathian le Topa Jesus Christ i naseam keima James in mun tatuam ah a ki thethang minam sawm le ni te nukset in kong paupui hi.
2 All Joy, account it, my brethren, whensoever ye fall in with, manifold, temptations, —
Ka suapui te awng, ze-etna a tatuam na thuak uh ciang in, lungdamna bebek hi, ci ngaisun tavun;
3 Taking note, that, the proving of your faith, worketh out endurance;
Na upna uh ze-etna in thuakzawkna hong piangsak hi.
4 But let, your endurance, have, mature work, that ye may be mature and complete, in nothing, coming short.
Ahihang note kisapna bangma nei ngawl in, na picin thei natu uh thuakzawkna in a picing nasep hong seam tahen.
5 But, if any of you is sinning short of wisdom, let him be asking of God, Who giveth unto all freely and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him;
Note sung pan khatpo in ciimna a kisam le, zawnsak vawt ngawl in; mi theampo tung ah ngotak in a pia Pathian tung ah ngen tahen.
6 But let him be asking in faith, nothing, doubting, for, he that doubteth, is like a wave of the sea, wind-driven and storm-tossed, —
Ahihang uplakna nei ngawl in upna taw ngen tahen. Banghangziam cile uplakna a nei te sia tuipi sung ah hui i mut tuihual taw kibang hi.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord—
Banghangziam cile tua pa in Topa tung pan in na khatpo nga tu khi hi, ci ngaisun heak tahen.
8 A two-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
Thinka nei mihing te sia a pai na theampo ah kho ngei ngawl hi.
9 But boasting be the lowly brother in his uplifting;
Dinmun niam napi lapsangna a nga ahile, lungdam tahen:
10 Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, —because, as a flower of grass, he will pass away;
Ahihang mihau pa sia khiaksuk na a thuak le, lungdam tahen: banghangziam cile ama sia lopa pak pul bang in bo kik tu hi.
11 For the sun hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished, —so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.
Banghangziam cile, ni sia a sa mama in a sua ciang in lopa sia hul a, a pak pul hi, taciang a hoina zong bo hi: tasia bangma in mihau pa zong ama pai na mun lampi theampo ah hul in bo tu hi.
12 Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life—which he hath promised unto them that love him.
Ze-etna a thuak zo pa sia mihing thuphatoai a hihi: banghangziam cile ama sia ze-etna a thuak zawkciang in, nuntakna kham lukhu nga tu hi, tasia sia Topa in Ama a it te kamciam a piaksa a hihi.
13 Let, no one, while tempted, be saying—From God, am I tempted, —for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one;
Kuama in zong ze-etna a thuak uh ciang in Pathian in hong ze-et hi, ci heak tahen: banghangziam cile Pathian sia siatna taw hong ze-et thei ngawl bangma in, Ama in zong kuama ze-et ngawl hi:
14 But, each one, is tempted, when, by his own coveting, he is drawn out and enticed,
Ahihang ama cilesa deina in kai vawk a, a zolbawl ciang in ze-etna thuak hi.
15 Then, the coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full-grown, bringeth forth death.
Taciang cilesa deina in naupai a, mawna hong piang hi: taciang mawna a khanthin ciang in, thina hong piang hi.
16 Be not deceived, my brethren beloved: —
Ka it suapui te awng, ngaisun khial heak vun.
17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lights—with whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:
Letsong pha le a picing te theampo sia khuavak te i Pa kung pan in hongpai hi a, tunglam pan hongpai a hihi, Ama tung ah kikhealna om ngawl a, kikheal na lim beak zong om ngawl hi.
18 Because he was so minded, he hath brought us forth with a word of truth, to the end we should be a sort of firstfruit of his creatures
Bitphua theampo sung pan in eite sia anpal masabel te i hi thei natu in thuman kammal zang a, Ama deina bang in eite hong piangsak hi.
19 Ye know, my brethren beloved, —but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
Tua ahikom, ka it suapui te awng, kuama po sia thu ngai na lam ah zuanngang tahen a, pau tu le thin-uk natu lam ah zuanhai tahen:
20 For, man’s anger, worketh not, God’s righteousness.
Banghangziam cile mihing thin-ukna in Pathian i thutang suana nasep seam thei ngawl hi.
21 Wherefore, putting away all filthiness and overflow of baseness, in meekness, welcome ye the word fitted for inward growth, which is able to save your souls:
Tua ahikom a niin le hazatna a valkai te nusia vun a, a ki suan Pathian kammal, na thaa uh a ngum thei sia thinneam na taw sang tavun.
22 Become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only—reasoning yourselves astray;
Ahihang noma le noma ki theam a, Pathian thu sia a zabek te hi ngawl in, a seam te hi tavun.
23 Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, —
Banghangziam cile Pathian thu sia a zak bek za a, a seam ngawl te sia, limlang sung ah ama hi babang a maitang a en pa taw kibang hi:
24 For he observed himself, and is gone away, and, straightway, it hath escaped him, —what manner of man, he was!
Banghangziam cile ama le ama ki en a, taciang mundang ah a pai kik ciang in ama sia bangbang mihing khi ziam, ci mangil kik pai hi.
25 But, he that hath obtained a nearer view into the perfect law of liberty, and hath taken up his abode by it, becoming—not a forgetful hearer, but a work doer, the same, happy in his doing, shall be.
Ahihang a kuama po in suatakna thukham picing sia en a, tua sung ah a om suak peuma, thu ngai napi a mangil kik lel hi ngawl in, a seam le, tua pa sia a sepna sung ah thuphatoai a hihi.
26 If any thinketh he is observant of religion, not curbing his own tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this one’s, religious observance is, vain:
Note sung ah mi khatpo sia biakna lam hanciam mama bang hi napi, a lei a keam bale, ama thinsung a theam a hihi, hisia pa biakna sia a luithathong a hihi.
27 Religious observance, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is, this—to be visiting orphans and widows in their affliction, unspotted, to keep, himself, from the world.
Pathian le Pa mai ah a thiangtho le a niin ngawl biakna i ci sia in, pa nei ngawl te le meingong haksatna thuak te ve a, hi leitung i niin bang ngawl in ama le ama ki kepthiamna a hihi.
