1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
1Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
2Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
3Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
4Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
4Uehnah loh khoboe te a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
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.
5Nangmih khuiah khat khat loh cueihnah a vawt atah kohuet kolla hawt boeih aka pae Pathen taengah bih saeh lamtah anih te a paek bitni.
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.
6Tedae boelhkhoeh kolla tangnah neh bih saeh. Aka boelhkhoeh tah tuili kah tuiphu aka niknuk neh aka kilkul banghui ni.
7That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
7Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
9The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
9Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
10But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
10Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
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.
11Khomik loh a linglai neh a thoeng vaengah khopol te koh. Rhaipai khaw rhul tih a maelhmai kah mueithen long khaw tlum. Kuirhang khaw a caehlong ah muei tangloeng.
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.
12Yoethen hlang long tah noemcainah a ueh. Ueppang la aka om long ni hingnah rhuisam te a dang eh. Te tah amah aka lungnah rhoek ham a kam pah coeng.
13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
13Noemcai vaegah Pathen loh n'noemcai ti boel saeh. Pathen ham tah a thae he hnalbat la om tih amah khaw a noemcai moenih.
14But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
14Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
15Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
15Hoehhamnah loh a cuen dongah tholhnah a cun. Tholhnah loh a ham vaengah dueknah a cun.
16Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
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.
17Doedannah then boeih neh lungcuei kutdoe tah a so lamkah ni. Pa kah vangnah khui lamkah ha suntla coeng. Anih taengah poehlipnah neh hoilaenah mueihlip a om moenih.
18He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
18A kutngo khuiah thaihcuek pakhat la mamih om sak ham ni oltak kah a ngaih vanbangla a ol loh mamih n'cun.
19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
19Ka thintlo manuca rhoek ming uh lah. Hlang boeih loh hnatun ham te voeiloe la, cal ham te a hnong a yai la, thintoek ham khaw a hnong a yai la om saeh.
20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
20Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnah te a saii moenih.
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.
21Te dongah khoboe rhong neh phayoenah dongkah baecoihnah te boeih hnawt uh. Na hinglu khang ham aka coeng thai mutue ol te muelhtuetnah neh doe uh.
22Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
22Ol aka rhoihkung la om uh lamtah aka yakung dawk loh amah te yoek uh boel saeh.
23For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
23Khat khat loh ol yakung la om tih a rhoihkung pawt atah, anih te hmaidan dongah a rhuirhong kah maelhmai aka dan hlang banghui ni.
24and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
24Amah te hmat uh coeng dae a caeh nen tah metla a om khaw hnap a hmaai.
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.
25Tedae poenghalnah lungcuei olkhueng te aka so tih aka om thil, aka yakung te aka hnilhkung la om pawt tih khoboe neh aka rhoihkung, yoethen long tah a bibi neh om ni.
26If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
26Khat khat loh aka cuep la a ngai uh tih a ol a tuem kolla, a thinko a hmil a hmak atah, anih kah bawknah tah a honghi 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.
27Pa neh Pathen hmaiah amih phacip phabaem khuikah cadah rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te hip ham, amah neh amah Diklai lamkah cuemhmuet la cue uh he ni aka cuem aka caih bawknah la a om.
