James 3
1 ana ndi gbugbulu ba kamti tsro na mrivayimu ki toh di kpa hukunci wa a zan tsanan
Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
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 stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 inde ki lo nyu nghma di du ba huta ki yah di sarafa ikkpa ba huta ki yah di surafa ikpa ba wawuu
Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.
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, the ships also, though they are so great, and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.
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 the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
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 among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is 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 birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:
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 can no man tame; [it is] a restless 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
Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after 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 cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 i mah u roma ba uri ma bana iya rjhu ni bubu ri na
Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening 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 a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet.
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 understanding among you? let him shew by his good life his works in 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 ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, 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 is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 naki duk bubu wa ihwu ni gbranshishihei niki wa nyun nihei ni kowane iri meme kpie
For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
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 variance, without hypocrisy.
18 naki mri didi wa ba shu ni mi son si ni mi bi wa ba shu tu ba bi
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
