James 5
1 Come now, ye rich men, weep and wail for your miseries that shall come upon you.
No mihau te, tu in hongpai tavun, note tung ah hong theng tu haksatna te hang in kap in tau vun.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Na hauna te muatcip siat a, taciang nik le puan te zong nget in ne siat zo hi.
3 Your gold and silver is rusted; and its rust shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped up treasure for the last days.
Na kham le ngun uh te eakseau in ne hi; taciang a eakseau te sia note hong langpan tu tetti hi tu a, na pumpi uh zong mei kang bang in hong ne tu hi. Na neisa uh sia ni tawpkhak ni atu a khol na hi uh hi.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your fields, which is by you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
En vun, na lo uh ah tang at tu in na sap uh naseam te thaman pia ngawl in, suttol na hi uhkom in, amate kaana aw sia Jehovah Sabaoth bil sung ah tum zo hi.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Leitung sia lungkimtak le na uk uh bangpo in na nungta zo uh hi; taciang a ki ngo tu ngan bang in, na thinsung uh te na vak phitphet zo uh hi.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
Note in a thutang te puavawk in na that uh hi; taciang amate in hong nalh ngawl hi.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain.
Tua ahikom suapui te awng, Topa hongpai dong thinsau in om tavun. En vun, lotho pa in khuapi ngua le khua nung ngua a thetdong thinsautak in leitang i a manpha thingnga te ngak hi.
8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth near.
Note zong Topa hongpai tu nai zo ahikom in thinkhotak in ngak tavun.
9 Murmur not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Suapui te awng, mawsiatna na thuak ngawl natu uh in, khat le khat ki phunsan heak vun: en vun, thukhen pa sia kongbiang mai ah ding zo hi.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Ka suapui te awng, Topa min taw thuhil kamsang te haksatna a thuakna uh le a thinsauna sia ette in nei taun.
11 Behold, we count them happy who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
En vun, a thuakzo te thuphatoai a hihi, ci i ngaisun hi. Job i thuakna na za zo uh hi, taciang Topa sia a tawpna ah hong lainat le thinneamtak in hong hesuak pa a hihi, ci sia na mu zo uh hi.
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
Ahihang ka suapui te awng, na theampo i tung ah, vantung sam in ahizong, leitung sam in ahizong, a dang thu kiciam na khatpo taw zong kiciam heak vun: ahihang “hi” na ci uh sia “hi”; “hi ngawl” na ci uh sia “hi ngawl”, ma hi ta hen; tabang a hibale mawsiatna sung ah na taksuk tu uh hi.
13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms.
Note sung ah haksatna a thuak na om uh ziam? thungen tahen. A thin nuam a om ziam? Psalm la te sa tahen.
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Note sung ah cina na om uh ziam? pawlpi i upa te sam tahen; taciang thungetsak hen a, Topa min taw sathau zut tahen:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Taciang upna i thungetna in cina sia ngum tu hi, taciang Topa in cina sia damsak tu a; mawna te a vawt a hi tazong, maisak tu hi.
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much.
Na khialna uh te khat le khat tung ah ki pualak vun, taciang thu ki ngetsak vun, tabang in na dam tu uh hi. A thutang pa thinsung tak taw thungetna sia vanglian mama a, na tampi seam thei hi.
17 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
Elijah sia eite bangma in mihing hi napi ngua zuk ngawl natu in hanciam in thu a nget ciang, kum thum le tha luk sung ngua zu ngawl hi.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
Taciang thu a ngetkik ciang in, van pan ngua zu a, leitang in nga le te piangsak kik hi.
19 Brethren, if any one of you should err from the truth, and one should convert him;
Suapui te awng, note sung ah khatpo in thuman pan in pial a, khatpo in a kaizawn ahile;
20 Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Tua mawnei sia a khial na lampi pan a kaizawn kik peuma in a thaa thina pan ngum a, mawna tampi sealsak tu hi, ci phawk tahen.
