Jakob 3
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Nawkamyanawk, patukkung ah na oh o boih hanah poek o hmah, aicae loe karai kue lokcaekhaih a tong o tih, tito panoek oh.
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2Aicae boih paroeai hmuen sakpazaehaih a tawnh o. Lokthuih pazae ai kami loe, kakoep kami ah oh moe, takpum boih angsum thaih kami ah oh.
2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3Khenah, lok tahngaih thai hanah, aicae mah hrang ih tahmawh to a moem pae o; to naah ni hrang ih takpum boih paqoi thaih.
3Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4Palongpuinawk ho khen oh, len o parai e, takhi kaham mah koeh baktiah hmuh thaih, toe palongpui mongkung mah loe amonghaih cung tetta hoiah ni a caeh koehhaih baktiah paqoi.
4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5To baktih toengah palai doeh takpum thungah kaom hmuen tetta ah ni oh, toe amoek parai. Khenah, tetta hmai mah taw to kangh boih!
5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6Palai loe hmai ah oh moe, long zaehaih ah oh: to baktih toengah palai loe aicae takpum thungah oh moe, takpum to amhnongsak boih, takpum hmai kangsak hanah, hell hmai thungah kraksak.
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7Moi kasannawk, tavaanawk, pahuinawk hoi tuipui thungah kaom moinawk boih mongsak thaih:
7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8toe palai loe mi kawbaktih mah doeh pazawk thai ai; thuitaek thai ai ih kasae ah oh moe, duekhaih kasoe ah oh.
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9Aicae mah ampa Sithaw to palai hoiah pakoeh moe, Sithaw hoi kanghmong ah sak ih kaminawk doeh aicae mah palai hoiah pasoih o.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10Pakha maeto thung hoiah tahamhoihhaih hoi tangoenghaih to tacawt. Nawkamyanawk, hae tiah oh han om ai.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11Tuibap maeto thung hoiah tui kaluep hoi tui kakhaa tacawt thai maw?
11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12Nawkamyanawk, thaiduetkung mah Olive thaih athaih thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe misurkung mah thaiduet thaih athaih thai maw? Tuibap maeto thung hoiah tui kaluep hoi tui kakhrum tacawt thai ai.
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13Nangcae thungah palungha kami hoi panoekhaih tawn kami oh maw? Om nahaeloe palunghahaih tuinom hoiah tacawt kahoih a toksakhaih to amtuengsak nasoe.
13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14Toe na palung thungah kasae uthaih maw, misa angcoeng koehhaih maw om nahaeloe, amoek o hmah loe, loktang lok aek hanah lok amlai o hmah.
14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15To baktih palunghahaih loe ranui bang hoiah angzo ai, long hoiah angzo palunghahaih, taksa koehhaih hoiah angzo palunghahaih, taqawk khae hoiah angzo palunghahaih ah ni oh.
15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16Uthaih hoi misa angcoenghaih kaom ahmuen ah loe, khosak anghmanghaih hoi congca kasae sakhaih to oh.
16For where envying and strife is , there is confusion and every evil work.
17Toe ranui bang hoi angzo palunghahaih loe, hmaloe koekah ciimcai moe, angdaehhaih, poeknaemhaih, kami tlim ah khosakhaih, palungnathaih hoiah koi pacoengah, athaih kahoih to athaih, mikhmai khethaih om ai, angsak cophaih doeh om ai.
17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18Angdaehhaih sah kaminawk loe toenghaih thingthai atii to monghaih hoiah haeh o.
18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
