Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with respect of persons.
1Ka manuca rhoek, mamih kah thangpomnah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih tangnah te maelhmai sawtnah khueh uh boeh.
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,
2Nangmih kah tunim khuikah hlang pakhat te sui kubuen, himbai a cim thik la kun coeng. Te vaengah khodaeng khaw himbai a savawk la a kun van atah,
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:
3na paelki tih himbai a cim thik aka bai te, “Nang tah hela balh ngol van,” na ti nah. Khodaeng te, “Nang tah soei pai lamtah ka khotloeng hmuiah ngol,” na ti nah.
4Do you not judge within yourselves, and are become judges of unjust thoughts?
4Namah khuiah na boelhkhoeh uh neh, kopoek thae kah laitloekkung la na coeng uh pawt nim?
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?
5Ka manuca thintlo hnatun uh lah. Diklai khodaeng rhoek te tangnah dongah Pathen loh a kuirhang sak ham neh a lungnah rhoek ham a kam pah ram kah rhopangkung la a tuek moenih a?
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?
6Tedae, nangmih loh khodaeng te yah na bai uh. Kuirhang rhoek loh nangmih m'phaep moenih a? Amih loh nangmih te dumlai khuila m'mawt ta.
7Do not they blaspheme the good name that is invoked upon you?
7Amih loh nangmih te ming then m'phoei thil uh tih ng'soehsal uh moenih a?
8If then you fulfill the royal law, according to the scriptures, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; you do well.
8Boei olkhueng te cacim vanbangla na soep sak atah na imben te namah bangla lungnah lamtah buelh saii.
9But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin, being reproved by the law as transgressors.
9Tedae maelhmai na sawt uh atah tholhnah na saii tih olkhueng loh boekoekkung la n'toeltham.
10And whosoever shall keep the whole law, but offend in one point, is become guilty of all.
10Anih loh olkhueng te boeih a tuem dae pakhat dongah a tongtah atah boeih a yook kuekluek coeng.
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.
11Aka thui loh, “Samphaih boeh, hlang ngawn boeh,” a ti. Tedae na samphaih, hlang na ngawn tih olkhueng kah boekoekkung la na om uh moenih a?
12So speak ye, and so do, as being to be judged by the law of liberty.
12Te dongah poenghalnah olkhueng neh laitloek ham aka caai loh na thui bangla saii van saw.
13For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment.
13Laitloeknah te mawth tih rhennah khueh pawt cakhaw rhennah loh laitloeknah te a koevoei tak.
14What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him?
14Balae aka hoeikhang, ka manuca rhoek? Khat khat loh tangnah a khueh te a thui dae a khoboe neh a rhoih pawt atah, tangnah loh anih khang thai mahnim?
15And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food:
15Paca boeina neh tanu takhong loh a tlingyal la om tih vuenhlaem buh vawtthoek mai ni.
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?
16Nangmih khuikah khat khat loh amih te, “Ngaimong la cet , a baetue neh a hah la ne,” a ti nah. Tedae amih pum kah a ngoe ngaih te na paek uh pawt atah balae a hoeikhang eh?
17So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
17Te dongah tangnah long khaw khoboe a khueh pawt atah amah te aka duek la om.
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.
18Tedae khat khat loh, “Nang loh tangnah na khueh, kai tah khoboe ka khueh. Khoboe muehla na tangnah te kai n'tueng lah. Kai loh nang te ka khoboe lamloh tangnah kan tueng eh?,” a ti ni.
19Thou believest that there is one God. Thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble.
19Nang loh Pathen tah pakhat ni tila na tangnah tih buelh na saii ngawn. Rhaithae rhoek long pataeng a tangnah uh tih a maehma uh ta.
20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
20Olhong hlang aw, ming ham na ngaih dae a? Tangnah loh bisai a khueh pawt atah palyal lamni a poeh.
21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, offering up Isaac his son upon the altar?
21A pa Abraham tah a bisai neh a tang moenih a? A capa Isaak te hmueihtuk dongah a nawn ta.
22Seest thou, that faith did co-operate with his works; and by works faith was made perfect?
22Tangnah loh a bisai neh a bongyong daengah ni a bisai dongah tangnah a soep te na hmu uh.
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.
23Te dongah Cacim loh a thui te soep coeng. Abraham loh Pathen te a tangnah vaengah anih te duengnah dongah a tae thil tih Pathen kah paya la a khue.
24Do you see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?
24Hlang tah tangnah bueng nen pawt tih bisai lamloh a tang te na ming uh.
25And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
25Rahab hlanghalh khaw a bisai lamloh a tang moenih a? Puencawn rhoi te a doe tih a tloe long a tueih ta.
26For even as the body without the spirit is dead; so also faith without works is dead.
26Mueihla aka tal pum tah aka duek la a om vanbangla bisai aka tal tangnah khaw a duek la om van.
