Yakobo 3
1 Achalongo achinjangu, nkaŵa ŵakwiganya ŵajinji pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti uweji utukwiganya tutulamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kwapunda ŵandu ŵane.
Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive.
2 Uweji wose tukuleŵa mwamujinji. Nambo iŵaga mundu ngakuleŵa mu nkuŵecheta kwakwe, jwelejo ali jwamalilwe, nombejo akupakombola kuchilongosya chiilu chakwe chose.
In many ways for we stumble all; If anyone in what he says not does stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle indeed all the body.
3 Uwe tukuŵika chipaande chamwana cha chisyano chachitaŵikwe kwa migoji nkang'wa sya falasi kuti tukombole kuilongosya iilu yao kwaula kwakuli kose kwatukusaka uweji.
(If *NO*) (now *N(K)(o)*) of the horses bits into the mouths we put (for *N(k)O*) to obey them us, even all the body of them we turn about.
4 Iyoyo ngalaŵa namose jili jekulungwa nnope jikujigalikwa ni mbungo jakalipa nambo jikugalauswa ni chipande cha mwana cha chibao, ni jikwaula kwakusaka jwakujilongosya.
Behold also the ships, so great being and by winds strong being driven, are turned about by a very small rudder where (ever *k*) the impulse [of the one] who is steering (decides. *N(k)O*)
5 Iyoyo peyo lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nnope pa chiilu nambo lukulilapilila indu yekulungwa nnope. Nganisye mooto kanandi yaukuti pakolesya litinji lyekulungwa nnope.
Thus also the tongue a small member is and exceeding things it boasts. Behold (a great *N(k)O*) fire how great a forest it kindles;
6 Nombe lulimi luli mpela mooto. Lugumbele igongomalo ya pachilambo. Lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nambo lukukombola kuchinyakasya chiilu chose. Lukutinisya umi wetu chitandile kupagwa mpaka kuwa, kwa mooto waukutyochela ku jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
Also the tongue [is] a fire, the world of iniquity (thus *k*) The tongue is set among the members of us which is defiling all the body and setting on fire the course of nature and [itself] being set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Mundu akukombola kulanga inyama yailiyose nombe amasile kukombola kulanga, inyama ya mwitinji ni ijuni yailiyose ni inyama yaikukwaŵa yailiyose ni yaikutama mmeesi.
All for kinds of beasts both and of birds, of creeping things both and things of the sea is subdued and he has been subdued by the race human;
8 Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi luli lwangalumbana ni ngalukukomboleka kululanga, ni lugumbele sumu jajikuulaga.
the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N(k)O*) evil, full of poison deadly.
9 Kwa lulimi tukwalapa Ambuje ni Atati ŵetu, ni kwa lulimi lulolo tukwalwesya ŵandu ŵagumbikwe chisau cha Akunnungu.
With it we bless the (Lord *N(K)O*) and Father and with it we curse men those according to [the] likeness of God having been made;
10 Mu kang'wa jimo mukukopochela maloŵe ga upile ni maloŵe ga kulwesya. Achalongo achinjangu ngaikuŵajilwa indu iŵeje yeleyo.
Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be.
11 Ana chisima chikukombola kukoposya kwanakamo meesi gambone ni meesi ga njete?
surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter?
12 Ana achalongo achinjangu chitela cha ntini chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya seituni pane chitela cha msabibu chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya tini? Ngwamba, chisima cha meesi ga njete ngachikukombola kukoposya meesi gambone.
Surely not is able, brothers of mine, a fig tree olives to produce Or a vine figs? (thus *k*) (Nor *N(k)O*) (spring *K*) of salt (and *k*) fresh to produce water.
13 Ana nduni jwali ni lunda ni umanyilisi pasikati ja ŵanyamwe? Nipele alosye yeleyo kwa lwendo lwakwe lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yaikupanganyikwa kwa kulitulusya ni lunda.
Who [is] wise and understanding among you? he should show out of the good conduct the works of him in [the] humility of wisdom.
14 Nambo iŵaga mmitima jenu mugumbele wiu ni uchimwa ni lipamo, nkasisa usyene kwa kulilapa ni kusala unami.
If however jealousy bitter you have and self-interest in the heart of you, not do boast [of it] and do lie against the truth.
15 Lunda lwati yeleyo ngalukutuluka kutyochela kwinani nambo luli lunda lwa pa chilambo, lwele lunda luli lwa chiundu ni lukutyochela kwa Shetani.
Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic.
16 Pakuŵa papali ni wiu ni lipamo, pana utindiganyo ni ipanganyo yose yangalimate.
Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing.
17 Nambo lwele lunda lwalukutyochela kwinani, luli lwakusalala, lukusaka chitendewele ni kulitimalika, luli chile kupilikanila maloŵe ga ŵandu. Lugumbele chanasa ni ipanganyo yambone, nganilukola lusagu, namuno kulambusya.
But the from above wisdom first indeed pure is, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and of fruits good, impartial, (and *k*) sincere.
18 Ŵandu ŵakuchinonyela chitendewele akupanganya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵane, mbesi jakwe ŵandu akutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
[The] fruit moreover (*k*) of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
