Jakob 4
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Misa angtukhaih hoi angzoehhaihnawk loe naa hoiah maw nangcae khaeah angzoh? Taksa koehhaih pongah misa kangtuh na takpum thung hoiah na ai maw, to hmuennawk to angzoh o?
1From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2Na tawn o ai pongah, na khit o; tawnh han na koeh o pongah, kami na hum o, toe na tawn o thai ai: nang zoeh o moe, misa nang tuk o, na hni o ai pongah na tawn o ai.
2Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3Na hnik o, toe na hak o ai, na taksa koehhaih baktiah patoh hanah na hnik o pazae pongah, na hnu o ai.
3Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4Zu sava laep ah zaehaih sah nongpa hoi nongpatanawk! Long hoi ampui sah kami loe Sithaw ih misa ni, tito na panoek o ai maw? Mi kawbaktih doeh long hoi ampui sak koeh kami loe Sithaw ih misa ah ni oh.
4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5Cabu mah, Aicae thungah kaom Muithla loe uthaih palungthin tawnh, tiah thuih ih lok loe azom pui ah maw na poek o?
5Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6Toe Anih mah loe tahmenhaih to pop aep ah paek. To pongah, Amoek kaminawk loe Sithaw mah koeh ai, toe poeknaem kaminawk khaeah loe tahmenhaih to paek, tiah a thuih.
6But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7To pongah Sithaw khaeah angpaek oh. Taqawk to pakaa oh, to tiah nahaeloe anih mah na cawn o taak tih.
7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Sithaw khaeah anghnai oh, to tiah nahaeloe anih doeh nangcae khaeah anghnai toeng tih. Nangcae kazae kaminawk, na ban to pasae oh; nangcae poekhaih angphae kaminawk, na poekhaih palungthin to ciim o sak ah.
8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9Poek amtang oh loe palungset hoiah qah oh: na pahnui o haih to palungsethaih ah angcoeng nasoe loe, nang hoe o haih to palungsethaih ah angcoeng nasoe.
9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10Angraeng mikhnuk ah poek pahnaem oh, to tiah nahaeloe anih mah na tapom o tahang tih.
10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11Nawkamyanawk, minawk kasae thui o hmah. Angmah ih nawkamya to kasae thui moe, lokcaek kami loe, kaalok kasae thui kami hoi kaalok lokcaekkung ah oh: toe kaalok to kasae na thuih nahaeloe, kaalok pazui kami ah na om ai, kaalok lokcaekkung ah ni na oh.
11Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12Kaalok paekkung maeto khue ni oh, anih loe pahlong thaih baktih toengah amrosak thaih: minawk lokcaek kami nang loe mi aa?
12There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
13Vaihniah maw, to tih ai boeh loe khawnbangah maw, to vangpui ah caeh o si, to vangpui ah saningto cam o si loe, amekhaih hnuk hanah, hmuenmae qanhaih hoi zawhhaih tok to sah o si, tiah thui kaminawk, tahngai oh:
13Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14khawnbang timaw om tih, tito na panoek o ai. Na hing o haih to kawbangah maw na poek o? Atue setta thung amtueng pacoengah anghma ving tamai hoiah ni anghmong.
14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15Angraeng koehhaih baktiah om nahaeloe, a hing o tih, to naah hae baktih tok maw, to tih ai boeh loe to baktih tok maw sah o si, tiah na thuih o han oh.
15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16Toe vaihi loe poeksanghaih hoiah nam oek o: to baktih amoekhaihnawk boih loe kasae hmuen ah ni oh.
16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17To pongah kahoih hmuen sak han panoek, toe sah ai kami loe zaehaih a tawnh.
17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
