James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Nga joonte loong, sen loong ah thoontang nyootsootte totoh angtheng ngeh ih tah angka. Sen ih jat ehan, wahoh nang ih nyootsootte seng loong ah sattitih ih dande he.
2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
Tiim saasa di seng loong ah mokre eli. Enoothong o mina heh jengkhaap ni lamok jengka, erabah epunthoon ang ah eno heh sakpuh thoontang jen riikoi sokboi ah.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
Mok ah seng jeng chaat thuk suh heh tui ni moot hoom theng ben hi, eno seng manah kaat theng ah erah di kaat thukli.
4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
Adoleh juukaari ah taat samthun thaak ih: mathan rak taat ang abah uh pong ih jen lengmot eha, enoothong heh ngoomrop theng banglo rah ih jen lenghoomha, eno juukaari jopte ah mani kaat thung ah erah di jen kala.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
Erah likhiikkhiik tuihih ah: ehinsah taat ang abah uh, jirep adi elonglongwah ih jengkongla. Taat samthun thaak an woma erathan rak ah weepoong amasah ih jen khaam la!
6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Eno tuihih ah we likhiikkhiik. Mongrep ni ethih thoon ah tuihih ah, eno seng sakphu ni tong ano seng sak ni ethih ekhah loong ah jaatjaang thukla. Seng roidong roitang erah we ah ih roitang khaam thukla eno tuihih heheh erah we adi khaamla marah soolam nawa ra hala rah ih ah. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
Mina ih jirep ah jen jijaang hi eno jihoh si anyah loong uh jen jik eha—woma si siiawi nyia woh angkoja, adoleh pu ajuk nyia nyah tiimjih angkoja.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Enoothong o ih uh tuihih maang taat mi jika. Tuihih ah ethih nyia lajen riikoi sokboi theng, hetaang ni me asu ethithoon ah ba je ah.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
Erah tuihih ah seng Teesu nyia seng Wah suh lakookmi li suh maak ehi eno mina Rangte likhiikkhiik ih dongsiit ha ah uh etam ehi.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Jengseera nyi etam jengkhaap ah tui phoosiitsiit nawa dokjengla. Joon awaan loong emah bah lah ang theng!
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Juumik esiit nawa ju esum nyia ekhah tami dong janka.
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Joon awaan loong, phuksak bang nawa mabah uh olip tiik tami tiikka; adoleh anggut tiik nawa mabah uh phuksak tiik tami tiikka, adoleh sum juumik nawa juusum tami dong janka.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Sen loong dung dowa o bah esekthoon nyia ejat esam eje tam ah? Emah ang abah heh roidong ese nawa ih, hemoot hekaat mongtham ese nyia seklilih jun ih noisokjih.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
Enoothong senten senmong nah miksuk kiitnoot, ethih ekhah, nyia nyamnyook je abah, an mongtham ese asuh khuupook uno amiitiit ngathong nah nak dah uh.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Erah likhiik mongtham abah rangmong nawa tah angka; erabah mongrep raangtaan ih ba ang ah, erah chiiala ah ese tah angka nyia hakhoh luuwang jiin nawa.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Maradi miksuk khaada nyia nyamnyook jeela, erah di hoongrok haphaang nyia ethih ekhah jaatrep ah jeeroh ela.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Enoothong mongtham rang nawa ang abah jaakhothoon ah kilingling ang ah; semroongroong nyia seklilih ang ah, sano joonte totoh je ah, mih minchan totoh ang ah; eno hemoot hekaat nah ese totoh ang ah; lonoite uh tah angka nyia mih dandeete uh tah angka ang ah.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Esejih mathan ah erah semroongroong mokaatte loong ih dongthukla.
