1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
1Angraeng Jesu Kri hoi Sithaw ih tamna, Jakob mah, kalah prae ah ampraek phang acaeng hatlai hnettonawk khaeah: ban kang sin o.
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
2Nawkamyanawk, congca pacuekhaih thungah nam timh o naah, anghoehaih ah poek oh;
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
3na tang o haih dan tanoekhaih mah palungsawkhaih tacawtsak, tito panoek oh.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
4Toe hmuen boih ah na koep o moe, angaihaih na tawnh o han ai ah, palungsawkhaih atho to amtueng nasoe.
5Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
5Nangcae thung ih mi kawbaktih mah doeh palunghahaih angaih nahaeloe, paawthaih tawn ai ah kaminawk boih han paekkung, Sithaw khaeah hni o nasoe, na hnik o pongah Anih mah na zoeh mak ai, to tiah na hnik o nahaeloe na paek o tih.
6But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
6Toe nihcae mah palunghaenghaih tawn ai ah, tanghaih hoiah hni o nasoe. Palunghaenghaih tawn kami loe takhi mah ahnuk ahma hmuh ih tuipui ih tuiphu baktiah ni oh.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
7To baktih kami loe Angraeng khae hoi tih hmuen doeh hnuk han poek hmah nasoe;
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8poekhaih kangphae kami loe a caehhaih loklam boih ah kacakah angdoe thai ai kami ah oh.
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
9Kami tlim ah khosah nawkamya loe kasangah tapom tahang boeh pongah anghoe nasoe.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
10Toe angraeng kami loe pakhrak tathuk boeh: anih loe apawk baktiah ni anghma tih.
11For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
11Phroh loe ni tacawt moe, bet naah azaem, apawk to angmuenh moe, a krang hoihhaih doeh anghmat: to baktih toengah long angraeng kami doeh a caehhaih loklamnawk ah anghma toeng tih.
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
12Pacuekhaih pauep thaih kami loe tahamhoih: Angraeng palung kaminawk khaeah lokkamhaih paek baktih toengah, anih loe hinghaih lumuek to hnu tih.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
13Mi mah doeh pacuekhaih tong naah, Kai loe Sithaw mah ang pacuek, tiah thui hmah nasoe: Sithaw loe kasae pacaenghaih hoiah kami to pacuek thai ai, Anih mah loe mi kawbaktih doeh pacuek vai ai.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
14Toe mi kawbaktih doeh a taksa koehhaih hoiah zoek moe, zaeh ving naah ni, zae pacuekhaih thungah amtimh.
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
15Taksa koehhaih loe zokpom moe, zaehaih to tapen: zaehaih qoeng khuek naah duekhaih to tapen.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Kang palung o ih nawkayanawk, aling thaih koi kami ah om o hmah.
17Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
17Kahoih tangqum boih hoi coek koi kaom ai tangqum boih loe ranui bang hoiah ni angzoh, aanghaih boih sahkung Ampa khae hoiah ni angzoh, anih loe amkhrai thai ai, tahlip baktiah doeh anghma ving thai ai.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
18A sak ih hmuennawk thungah athai tangsuek thingthai baktiah a oh o thai hanah, a koehhaih baktiah loktang lok hoiah ni aicae hae ang tapenh.
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
19To pongah, kang palung o ih nawkamyanawk, kami boih mah lok tahngaihaih bangah rang o nasoe loe, lokthuihaih bangah amzai o nasoe.
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
20Kami palungphuihaih mah Sithaw toenghaih to tacawtsak ai.
21Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
21To pongah panuet thok hmuennawk hoi kasae hmuen poekhaihnawk boih to toengh oh loe, nangcae ih muithla pahlong thaih, a thungah tling ih lok to kanaem palungthin hoiah talawk oh.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
22Thuih ih lok tahngai kami khue na ai ah, thuih ih lok baktiah sah kami ah om oh, to tih ai nahaeloe, nangmah hoi nangmah angling kami ah ni na om o tih.
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
23Lok to a thaih, toe sah ai kami loe, hmaidan pongah angmah ih krang khen kami baktiah ni oh:
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
24angmah hoi angmah to angkhet moe, a caeh ving pacoengah, anih loe kawbaktih kami maw, tito panoek ai pahnet roep kami baktiah ni oh.
25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
25Toe coek koi kaom ai loihhaih kaalok khen kami loe, thuih ih lok pahnet ving kami baktih na ai, thuih ih lok baktiah sah kami ah oh, to baktih kami loe a tok sakhaih pongah tahamhoihaih hnu tih.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
26Nangcae thung ih kawbaktih kami doeh Sithaw zom parai baktiah amtueng, toe lokthuih angsum ai kami loe, angmah hoi angmah angling kami ah ni oh, to kami ih bokhaih loe azom pui ni.
27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
27Raihaih tongh naqah hoi lamhmainawk khetzawnhaih, long nui hmuenmae pongah amhnong ai ah khosakhaih loe, Sithaw hoi Ampa hmaa ah kaciim bokhaih ah oh.
