1Nawkamyanawk, lensawk Angraeng, aicae ih Angraeng Jesu Kri tanghaih kacak na tawnh o pongah, kami mikhmai khethaih tawn o hmah.
1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons.
2Kami maeto loe sui bantuek hoiah amthoep het moe, bokhaih imthung ah angzoh, to naah kakhoem khukbuen angkhuk kamtang kami maeto doeh bokhaih imthung ah angzoh toeng;
2For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel, and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire,
3to naah nangcae mah kahoih khukbuen angkhuk kami to khingyahaih na paek o moe, anih khaeah, Nang loe hae ih ahmuen kahoih ah anghnu ah, tiah na naa o; toe mithoe khaeah loe, Nang loe hoah angdoe ah, to tih ai boeh loe kaicae khok tlim ah anghnu ah, tiah na naa o nahaeloe,
3And you have respect to him that is clothed with the fine apparel, and shall say to him: Sit thou here well; but say to the poor man: Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool:
4nangmacae hoi nangmacae salakah mikhmai khethaih tawn kami, kasae poekhaih hoiah lokcaek kami ah na om o mak ai maw?
4Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
5Tahngai oh, ka palung ih nawkamyanawk, Anih palung kaminawk khaeah anih mah lokkamhaih sak baktih toengah, hae long nuiah kamtang kaminawk to Sithaw mah tanghaih bangah angraengsak moe, siangpahrang mah uk ih prae qawktoep kami ah qoih boeh na ai maw?
5Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
6Toe nangcae mah loe kamtangnawk to na patoek o. Nangcae pacaekthlaek moe, lokcaekhaih im ah caeh haih kami loe, long angraengnawk hae na ai maw?
6But you have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you by might? and do not they draw you before the judgment seats?
7Nihcae mah na ai maw nangcae kawkkung, kahoih ih ahmin to kasae thuih o?
7Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
8Nangmah hoi nangmah amlung baktih toengah na imtaeng kaminawk to palung ah, tiah Cabu thungah kaom Angraeng ih kaalok baktih toengah na pazui o nahaeloe, kahoih hmuen sah kami ah na oh o.
8If then you fulfill the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
9Toe kami mikhmai khethaih na tawnh o nahaeloe, zaehaih sah kami ah na oh o, kaalok mah nang loe kami zae ni, tiah amtuengsak tih.
9But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
10Mi kawbaktih mah doeh kaalok to pazui king, toe maeto pazui ai ah om nahaeloe, kaalok boih pazui thai ai kami zae ah ni oh boeh.
10And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
11Zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih sah hmah, tiah thui kami loe, Kami hum hmah, tiah doeh thuih bae vop. Nang loe vaihi zu sava laep ah nongpa nongpata zaehaih na sah ai, toe kami na hum nahaeloe, kaalok aek kami ah ni na oh.
11For he that said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12To pongah loihhaih kaalok mah lokcaek han kaom kami baktiah, lok to thui oh loe, thuih ih baktih toengah sah oh.
12So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
13Tahmenhaih tawn ai kami loe, tahmenhaih tawn ai ah lokcaekhaih om tih; tahmenhaih mah lokcaekhaih to pazawk.
13For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
14Nawkamyanawk, kami maeto mah tanghaih ka tawnh, tiah thuih, toe toksakhaih amtueng ai nahaeloe tih atho maw om tih? Tanghaih mah anih to pahlong thai tih maw?
14What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
15Nawkamya nongpa maw, nongpata maw loe bangkrai ah oh sut, ni thokkruek caaknaek tawn ai ah oh,
15And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:
16to naah nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah nihcae khaeah, Kamongah caeh oh, mawnhaih tawn ai ah khosah oh, zok amhah oh, tiah na naa o moe, nihcae takpum angaihaih hmuennawk na paek o ai nahaeloe, timaw avanghaih om tih?
16And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit?
17To pongah toksakhaih kaom ai, tanghaih khue loe duek.
17So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
18Ue, kami maeto mah, Nang loe tanghaih na tawnh, Kai loe toksakhaih ka tawnh: na toksakhaih kaom ai na tanghaih to na patuek ah, kai mah doeh ka toksakhaih hoiah ka tanghaih to kang patuek toeng han, tiah thuih thaih koiah oh.
18But some man will say: Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without works; and I will shew thee, by works, my faith.
19Nang mah Sithaw loe maeto ni, tiah na tang; na tanghaih loe hoih: taqawknawk mah mataeng doeh to tiah tang o moe, tasoeh o toeng bae.
19Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
20Tidoeh avang ai kami, Toksakhaih om ai tanghaih loe duek, tito na panoek ai maw?
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21Aicae ampa Abraham mah a capa Isak hmaicam nuiah angbawnhaih sak naah, anih mah toksakhaih rang hoiah na ai maw toenghaih to hnuk?
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
22Tanghaih loe a toksakhaih hoiah nawnto amraep, toksakhaih rang hoiah ni a tanghaih to akoep, tiah a hnuk o.
22Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?
23Abraham mah Sithaw tang pongah, a tanghaih to toenghaih ah tapom pae, tiah thuih ih Cabu lok loe akoep boeh: to naah Abraham to Sithaw ih Ampui, tiah kawk.
23And the scripture was fulfilled, saying: Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him to justice, and he was called the friend of God.
24Tanghaih khue hoiah na ai, toksakhaih rang hoiah ni kami mah toenghaih to hnuk, tiah vaihi na panoek o boeh.
24Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
25To baktih toengah, tangzat zaw Rahab mah doeh tamthang sin kaminawk to talawk moe, loklam kalah bang hoiah patoeh ving, to tiah toksakhaih rang hoiah na ai maw anih mah toenghaih to hnuk?
25And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
26Muithla tawn ai taksa loe duek, to baktih toengah toksakhaih kaom ai tanghaih doeh duek.
26For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
