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 man offendeth not in word, the same [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 in the mouths of horses, 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 though they are so great, and [are] driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor 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
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
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, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from 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, and of serpents, and of animals 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] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 ni leme ki gbere bachi ni ti san nikima ki lah ndi wa ba tiba ni kamani riji
With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who are made after the similitude 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 proceedeth 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 a fountain send forth at the same place 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 olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain [can] yield both 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] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good deportment his works with 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 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 descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, demoniacal.
16 naki duk bubu wa ihwu ni gbranshishihei niki wa nyun nihei ni kowane iri meme kpie
For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion 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, [and] 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 the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.
