Jacob 1
1 Jacob, a servant of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, to the twelve tribes which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
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 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you 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 that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Na upna uh ze-etna in thuakzawkna hong piangsak hi.
4 Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
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 lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will 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, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by 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 that man shouldn’t think that he will 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 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Thinka nei mihing te sia a pai na theampo ah kho ngei ngawl hi.
9 Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
Dinmun niam napi lapsangna a nga ahile, lungdam tahen:
10 and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the 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 arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
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 a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who 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 can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts 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 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 the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
Taciang cilesa deina in naupai a, mawna hong piang hi: taciang mawna a khanthin ciang in, thina hong piang hi.
16 Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
Ka it suapui te awng, ngaisun khial heak vun.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
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 gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits 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 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and 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 the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
Banghangziam cile mihing thin-ukna in Pathian i thutang suana nasep seam thei ngawl hi.
21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted 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 doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding 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 anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at 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 sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind 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 looks into the perfect Torah of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
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 anyone amongst you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
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 our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by 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.
