King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord 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 come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
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 ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here 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.
4Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
4Namah khuiah na boelhkhoeh uh neh, kopoek thae kah laitloekkung la na coeng uh pawt nim?
5Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he 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 ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and 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 that worthy name by the which ye are called?
7Amih loh nangmih te ming then m'phoei thil uh tih ng'soehsal uh moenih a?
8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
8Boei olkhueng te cacim vanbangla na soep sak atah na imben te namah bangla lungnah lamtah buelh saii.
9But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
9Tedae maelhmai na sawt uh atah tholhnah na saii tih olkhueng loh boekoekkung la n'toeltham.
10For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point , he is 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, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou 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 they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
12Te dongah poenghalnah olkhueng neh laitloek ham aka caai loh na thui bangla saii van saw.
13For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
13Laitloeknah te mawth tih rhennah khueh pawt cakhaw rhennah loh laitloeknah te a koevoei tak.
14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith 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?
15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
15Paca boeina neh tanu takhong loh a tlingyal la om tih vuenhlaem buh vawtthoek mai ni.
16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth 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?
17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
17Te dongah tangnah long khaw khoboe a khueh pawt atah amah te aka duek la om.
18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
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 doest 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, when he had offered 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 how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith 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 which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: 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.
24Ye see then how 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.
25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent 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 as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
26Mueihla aka tal pum tah aka duek la a om vanbangla bisai aka tal tangnah khaw a duek la om van.
