1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are in the Dispersion: Greetings.
1Pathen neh Boeipa Jesuh khrih kah sal James loh canglak mupoe koca hlainit taengah ka omngaih.
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations,
2Ka manuca rhoeh noemcainah rhoepsaep na um uh te omngaihnah la boeih poek uh.
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
3Nangmih kah nuemnainah loh tangnah dongkah uehnah a thoeng sak te ming uh.
4Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
4Uehnah loh khoboe te a lungcuei la khueh saeh. Te daengah ni lungcuei neh hlangsoep la na om vetih na vawtthoek pawt eh.
5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
5Nangmih khuiah khat khat loh cueihnah a vawt atah kohuet kolla hawt boeih aka pae Pathen taengah bih saeh lamtah anih te a paek bitni.
6But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.
6Tedae boelhkhoeh kolla tangnah neh bih saeh. Aka boelhkhoeh tah tuili kah tuiphu aka niknuk neh aka kilkul banghui ni.
7For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
7Tekah hlang loh boeipa taengkah pakhat khaw a dang ham la cai boel saeh.
8He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
8Cikcok hlang tah rhoepsaep dongah a longpuei khaw likloek sut.
9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
9Tedae manuca aka tlayae long tah amah kah a sang neh pomsang saeh.
10and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
10Kuirhang long khaw a mathoe neh thangpom seh. Anih khaw khopol rhaipai bangla khum ni.
11For the sun arises with the scorching wind and withers the grass; and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So the rich man will also fade away in his pursuits.
11Khomik loh a linglai neh a thoeng vaengah khopol te koh. Rhaipai khaw rhul tih a maelhmai kah mueithen long khaw tlum. Kuirhang khaw a caehlong ah muei tangloeng.
12Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord promised to those who love him.
12Yoethen hlang long tah noemcainah a ueh. Ueppang la aka om long ni hingnah rhuisam te a dang eh. Te tah amah aka lungnah rhoek ham a kam pah coeng.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
13Noemcai vaegah Pathen loh n'noemcai ti boel saeh. Pathen ham tah a thae he hnalbat la om tih amah khaw a noemcai moenih.
14But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.
14Cuekcawn hlang boeih tah amah kah hoehhamnah loh a payawk tih a yoek.
15Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.
15Hoehhamnah loh a cuen dongah tholhnah a cun. Tholhnah loh a ham vaengah dueknah a cun.
16Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers.
16Thintlo ka manuca rhoek te n'rhaithi uh boel saeh.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.
17Doedannah then boeih neh lungcuei kutdoe tah a so lamkah ni. Pa kah vangnah khui lamkah ha suntla coeng. Anih taengah poehlipnah neh hoilaenah mueihlip a om moenih.
18Of his own will he gave birth to us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
18A kutngo khuiah thaihcuek pakhat la mamih om sak ham ni oltak kah a ngaih vanbangla a ol loh mamih n'cun.
19So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
19Ka thintlo manuca rhoek ming uh lah. Hlang boeih loh hnatun ham te voeiloe la, cal ham te a hnong a yai la, thintoek ham khaw a hnong a yai la om saeh.
20for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.
20Hlang kah thintoek loh Pathen kah duengnah te a saii moenih.
21Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
21Te dongah khoboe rhong neh phayoenah dongkah baecoihnah te boeih hnawt uh. Na hinglu khang ham aka coeng thai mutue ol te muelhtuetnah neh doe uh.
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
22Ol aka rhoihkung la om uh lamtah aka yakung dawk loh amah te yoek uh boel saeh.
23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;
23Khat khat loh ol yakung la om tih a rhoihkung pawt atah, anih te hmaidan dongah a rhuirhong kah maelhmai aka dan hlang banghui ni.
24for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
24Amah te hmat uh coeng dae a caeh nen tah metla a om khaw hnap a hmaai.
25But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
25Tedae poenghalnah lungcuei olkhueng te aka so tih aka om thil, aka yakung te aka hnilhkung la om pawt tih khoboe neh aka rhoihkung, yoethen long tah a bibi neh om ni.
26If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.
26Khat khat loh aka cuep la a ngai uh tih a ol a tuem kolla, a thinko a hmil a hmak atah, anih kah bawknah tah a honghi ni.
27Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
27Pa neh Pathen hmaiah amih phacip phabaem khuikah cadah rhoek neh nuhmai rhoek te hip ham, amah neh amah Diklai lamkah cuemhmuet la cue uh he ni aka cuem aka caih bawknah la a om.
