James 1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are scattered abroad, greeting.
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 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into various temptations;
Ka suapui te awng, ze-etna a tatuam na thuak uh ciang in, lungdamna bebek hi, ci ngaisun tavun;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Na upna uh ze-etna in thuakzawkna hong piangsak hi.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Ahihang note kisapna bangma nei ngawl in, na picin thei natu uh thuakzawkna in a picing nasep hong seam tahen.
5 If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to 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 ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and 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 any thing from the Lord.
Banghangziam cile tua pa in Topa tung pan in na khatpo nga tu khi hi, ci ngaisun heak tahen.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Thinka nei mihing te sia a pai na theampo ah kho ngei ngawl hi.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
Dinmun niam napi lapsangna a nga ahile, lungdam tahen:
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall 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 no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and its flower falleth, and the grace of its fashion perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
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 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to 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 man say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
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 every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Ahihang ama cilesa deina in kai vawk a, a zolbawl ciang in ze-etna thuak hi.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Taciang cilesa deina in naupai a, mawna hong piang hi: taciang mawna a khanthin ciang in, thina hong piang hi.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Ka it suapui te awng, ngaisun khial heak vun.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of 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 Of his own will he hath begotten us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits 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 Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
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 the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Banghangziam cile mihing thin-ukna in Pathian i thutang suana nasep seam thei ngawl hi.
21 Therefore put away all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, 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 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Ahihang noma le noma ki theam a, Pathian thu sia a zabek te hi ngawl in, a seam te hi tavun.
23 For if any is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding 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 beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and immediately forgetteth 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 who looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth in it, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
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 man among you seemeth to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion 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 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted 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.
