1Nangmih khuikah caemthoh te me lamkah lae, rhalthohnah me lamkah lae? He lamkah moenih a? Nangmih omthenbawnnah lamkah ni namamih kah pumrho dongah na vathoh uh.
1What causes conflicts and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from the passions at war within you?
2Na hue uh dae na dang uh moenih, na ngawn uh dae na thatlai uh. Hmuh hamla na coeng uh pawt dongah na hnuei uh thae tih na tloek uh thae. Na bih uh pawt dongah na khueh uh pawh.
2You crave what you do not have; you kill and covet, but are unable to obtain it. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3Na bih uh dae namamih kah omthenbawnnah neh hnonah ham voek na bih dongah na dang uh pawh.
3And when you do ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may squander it on your pleasures.
4Samphaih rhoek aw, Diklai sanaep tah Pathen kah thunkha ni tila na ming uh moenih a? Diklai kah paya la om ham a ngaih long tah Pathen kah rhal ni a saii coeng.
4You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.
5Cacim loh, “Mueihla te mamih ah khosak sak ham uetnah neh a rhingda,” a ti te vapsa la na poek uh.
5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?
6Tedae lungvatnah muep a paek dongah, “Pathen loh buhueng aka pom uh te a pakai tih tlayae te lungvatnah a paek,” a ti.
6But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
7Te dongah, Pathen taengla boe na ngai uh tih rhaithae te na tungkha uh daengah ni nangmih taeng lamloh a rhaelrham eh.
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8Pathen taengla yoei uh lamtah nangmih taengla ha yoei bitni. Tholh kut te cilpoe uh lamtah thinko Cikcok te ciim uh laeh.
8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9Cip uh lamtah, nguek uh lamtah rhap uh laeh. Na nueih te ngueknah la, omngaihnah te kothaenah la poeh saeh.
9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom.
10Boeipa hmaiah na tlarhoel uh daengah ni nangmih te m'pomsang eh.
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11Khat neh khat yan uh thae boeh. Manuca rhoek, a manuca aka yan, manuca te lai aka thui tah olkhueng ni a yan tih olkhueng ni lai a tloek thil. Olkhueng te lai na tloek thil uh coeng dae laitloekkung loh olkhueng aka rhoihkung la na om uh moenih.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
12Olrhikung neh laitloekkung tah pakhat ni. Amah loh khang ham neh a paci sak ham coeng thai. Tedae imben lai aka tloek thil nangmih te u nim.
12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
13“Tihnin neh thangvuen ah hekah kho la n'cet vetih kum khat a thok hil hno n'yoih ni, n'dang ni,” aka ti rhoek te maerhae coeng.
13Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
14Nangmih loh thangvuen kah na hingnah te metla a om khaw na hmat uh moenih. Tuihu loh kolkalh ah phoe tih a cing banglam ni na om uh.
14You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15“Boeipa loh a ngaih tih ng'hing uh atah he khaw, ke khaw n'saii uh van bitni,” na ti uh mako.
15Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
16Namamih kah oekhlawnnah neh na pomsang uh coeng dae tebang hoemdamnah boeih tah a thae lamni a om.
16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
17Te dongah a then saii ham a ming tih a saii pawt dongah anih ham tholhnah la a om pah.
17Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
