¹Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming on you.

¹Mihaute aw, ngai un! na tung ua gimthuak na hongtung ding ziakin, kap unla, mau tuaituai un.

²Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.

²Na goute uh seta hi, na puante uh leikha in nekhinta hi.

³Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.

³Na dangkaeng uleh na dangkate uh tuiek khinta hi; a tuiek tuh na mawhdan uh theihna ding ahi ding a, nasa uh tuh meikat bang in a nezou ding hi.

⁴Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies Greek: Sabaoth (for Hebrew: Tze’va’ot) .

⁴Ngaiun, na lou ua buh at-a kilawhte lawh, amau khema na piaklouh uh a kikou ua, a-atte amangbang kikou aw leng Mipite Toupa bil ah alutta hi.

⁵You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

⁵Khawvel ah nuamsatakin na awm ua, na kizangbei mawkmawk ua, na thahni un na lungtang uh na taisak uhi.

⁶You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn’t resist you.

⁶Midiktat siamlouh na tangsak ua, na thatta ua; aman zaw nou a hon doukei hi.

⁷Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.

⁷Huchiin, unaute aw, Toupa hongpaima teng kuhkaltakin awm un. Ngai un, lou nei miin vuahtui ke masaleh nanung a muh mateng lei gah hoihtak tuh angak zel hi.

⁸You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

⁸Nou leng kuhkaltakin awm un; na lungtang uh hihkip un; Toupa hongpaina lah anaita ngala.

⁹Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.

⁹Unaute aw, siamlouh tang a na awmlouhna ding un, ki phunkhum kei un; ngai un, vaihawmpa tuh kongkhak bulah a ding hi.

¹⁰Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

¹⁰Unaute aw, Toupa min a thugen mi jawlneite tuh thuakdan leh kuhkal dan lam ah zuih ding in zang un.

¹¹Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

¹¹Ngaiiun, a thuak mite tuh nuamsa ichi ua; Job kuhkal dan bang naza ua, Toupan a tawp a ahihdan leng na mu lai ua, Toupa tuh hehpihna a adimdan leh zah a ngaih theih dan leng.

¹²But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes,” and your “no,” “no”; so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy. TR reads “under judgment” instead of “into hypocrisy”

¹²Himahleh, ka unaute aw, bangteng bangteng hih mah le uchin, kichiam kei un; vanlou in hiam, lei lou in hiam, thil dang himhima lou in hiam kichiam kei un. Hi, nachih uh, Hi, hihenla; Hilou na chih uh hilou hihen; huchilou inzaw siamlouh tang in na awm ding uhi.

¹³Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.

¹³Nalak uah thil hoihlou thuak aom uhia? Thum uhen. Kipak a om uhia? Phatna lasa uhen.

¹⁴Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord,

¹⁴Nalak uah china a om uhia? Saptuam upa samsak uhenla, aman Toupa min a sathau nilh in atung ah thum hen;

¹⁵and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

¹⁵Huan, ginna a thumna in china tuh a hondam ding a, Toupan amah a kaithou ding; huan, thil ana hihkhelh takleh ngaihdam sak ahi ding hi.

¹⁶Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

¹⁶Huchiin, hihdama na om theihna ding un, na khelhnate uh thupha kitawituah unla, ki thumsak tuah zel un.

¹⁷Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.

¹⁷Midiktat thumna in thil thupitak ahih zel hi. Elija leng eimah piandan bang pu mihing mah ahia, amah tuh vuah zuk louhna ding in phatuam ngai takin a thum a, huan, kum thum leh khaguk sungteng leitung ah vuah a zu takei hi.

¹⁸He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.

¹⁸Huan, athum nawn a, van in vuah a zusak a lei in a gahte ahon suaksak ta hi.

¹⁹Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

¹⁹Ka unaute aw, nalak ua mikuapeuh thutak a kipan in namang taleh huan, kuahiam in pikiknawn leh,mikhial a lamhaihna a kipan a kiheisak pan sihna akipan akha ahondam ding a, khelhna tampi a khuhsak lai ding chih kithei heh.

²⁰let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.

²⁰mikhial a lamhaihna a kipan a kiheisak pan sihna akipan akha ahondam ding a, khelhna tampi a khuhsak lai ding chih kithei heh.
