James 3
1 ana ndi gbugbulu ba kamti tsro na mrivayimu ki toh di kpa hukunci wa a zan tsanan
My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 nakima ki ka kub zah nijon gbugbuu du ndi wa ana kub zah ni tu tre na ahi ndi wa ba mla u be ndu wa ani vu tu ni kpama wawuu
For in many things we all offend. If any one offends not in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
3 inde ki lo nyu nghma di du ba huta ki yah di sarafa ikkpa ba huta ki yah di surafa ikpa ba wawuu
Behold, we put bits into horses mouths that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
4 bitoh igwu u dran ma naki ba bra kpukpuri naki gwugwu u gbegbenien mami zuba nikukre job fidima ndi u tru gwua ani kam hi ni bubu wa ani so
Behold also the ships, which are very great, and are driven by violent winds; yet they are turned about by a very small helm, to whatever point the will of him that directs it may determine.
5 nakima ileme ahi vinghma kpa fi mei ani gbre san nikpie bi rigrama bika toh di vi ilu fi m i ani ri kile minji
So, also, the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a forest does a little fire set in a blaze.
6 ileme me ahi ilu ni mi nghma kpa bu wawuu gbugbulu u lalitre wa ba ban you ni mi nghama ikpabu ani kpa kpa bu tieme ani du alamura rayuwa ba vulu wawu ahi ko lu wa ani shuti (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue is a fire, the world of iniquity. So is the tongue placed among our members, defiling the whole body, setting on fire the course of life, and being set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 nakia inanma rhjhu ba wawuu chicen nibi han ni ne ru kpie bi mi kikle nne ndi hei gbengbenlen ni yu ba
For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by man:
8 nitu leme nimi yan Adam ba wa ani ya vu ahi ihrji wa ana si na a gbugbulu u wu ndi
but the tongue no man can tame; it is an unruly evil; it is full of deadly poison.
9 ni leme ki gbere bachi ni ti san nikima ki lah ndi wa ba tiba ni kamani riji
With it we bless God, even the Father: and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God.
10 ni mi nyu kima lulu ni lah ni rhu mrivayi ikpie bi yi bika na ti na.
Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not so to be.
11 i mah u roma ba uri ma bana iya rjhu ni bubu ri na
Does a fountain send forth from the same cavern sweet water and bitter?
12 ba iya? mriyah kukron baure ana iya ti zaitu na ko ani ya? ko naki irjhu inabi anti yi baure? nakima imah u ri ana ya no imah u roma na.
Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or the vine, figs? So no fountain can produce salt water and fresh.
13 ahi nghan hei ni hikima ni toh rii mi bi? du ndi kima tsro didi uvri ni ndu ma u hikima
Who is wise and discreet among you? Let him show, by a good behavior, his works, with the meekness of wisdom.
14 aman inde bi hei ni matsanci ihwu ni meme gbrashisi ni mi suron bi bika na wur wi ni san ni ice na ni njaji
But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 iri hikima yi ana iri wa ani grji rji ni shu na nakima ahi u gbugbulun wa ana hei ni njaji na ahi u ibrji
This wisdom comes not from above, but is earthly, animal, demoniac.
16 naki duk bubu wa ihwu ni gbranshishihei niki wa nyun nihei ni kowane iri meme kpie
For where envy and strife are, there is commotion, and every evil work.
17 nakima hikma hi iri u shu, ni mumula ana tsatsra naki son si ison kamili saukiyu ahei ni loh suron kpukpo me ni gbugbu zizi wa ana die na u didi
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 naki mri didi wa ba shu ni mi son si ni mi bi wa ba shu tu ba bi
And those who cultivate peace, sow for themselves a harvest of righteousness in peace.
