James 3
1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkaŵa ŵakwiganya ŵajinji pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti uweji utukwiganya tutulamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kwapunda ŵandu ŵane.
2 For we all stumble in many things. If any man does not stumble in word, this is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
Uweji wose tukuleŵa mwamujinji. Nambo iŵaga mundu ngakuleŵa mu nkuŵecheta kwakwe, jwelejo ali jwamalilwe, nombejo akupakombola kuchilongosya chiilu chakwe chose.
3 Behold we put bits into the mouths of horses for them to obey us, and we guide about their whole body.
Uwe tukuŵika chipaande chamwana cha chisyano chachitaŵikwe kwa migoji nkang'wa sya falasi kuti tukombole kuilongosya iilu yao kwaula kwakuli kose kwatukusaka uweji.
4 Behold also the ships, being so great and driven by fierce winds, are guided about by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the man who steers determines.
Iyoyo ngalaŵa namose jili jekulungwa nnope jikujigalikwa ni mbungo jakalipa nambo jikugalauswa ni chipande cha mwana cha chibao, ni jikwaula kwakusaka jwakujilongosya.
5 So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles.
Iyoyo peyo lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nnope pa chiilu nambo lukulilapilila indu yekulungwa nnope. Nganisye mooto kanandi yaukuti pakolesya litinji lyekulungwa nnope.
6 And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness. Thus, the tongue is made to lead among our body-parts, defiling the whole body, and setting the cycle of nature on fire, and being set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
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)
7 For every species, both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by the human species.
Mundu akukombola kulanga inyama yailiyose nombe amasile kukombola kulanga, inyama ya mwitinji ni ijuni yailiyose ni inyama yaikukwaŵa yailiyose ni yaikutama mmeesi.
8 But no man is able to tame the tongue of men, an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi luli lwangalumbana ni ngalukukomboleka kululanga, ni lugumbele sumu jajikuulaga.
9 By it we bless the God and Father, and by it we curse men, who were made according to a likeness of God.
Kwa lulimi tukwalapa Ambuje ni Atati ŵetu, ni kwa lulimi lulolo tukwalwesya ŵandu ŵagumbikwe chisau cha Akunnungu.
10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and curse. My brothers, these things ought not to happen this way.
Mu kang'wa jimo mukukopochela maloŵe ga upile ni maloŵe ga kulwesya. Achalongo achinjangu ngaikuŵajilwa indu iŵeje yeleyo.
11 Does the spring pour out from the same opening the sweet and the bitter?
Ana chisima chikukombola kukoposya kwanakamo meesi gambone ni meesi ga njete?
12 A fig tree, my brothers, cannot make olives, or a grapevine figs. In the same way, no one spring makes water salty and sweet.
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.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show from his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom.
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.
14 But if ye have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast, and do not lie against the truth.
Nambo iŵaga mmitima jenu mugumbele wiu ni uchimwa ni lipamo, nkasisa usyene kwa kulilapa ni kusala unami.
15 This wisdom is not descending from above, but is earthly, world-soul, demonic.
Lunda lwati yeleyo ngalukutuluka kutyochela kwinani nambo luli lunda lwa pa chilambo, lwele lunda luli lwa chiundu ni lukutyochela kwa Shetani.
16 For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is instability and every evil deed.
Pakuŵa papali ni wiu ni lipamo, pana utindiganyo ni ipanganyo yose yangalimate.
17 But the wisdom from above is indeed first pure, then peaceful, gentle, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and non-hypocritical.
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.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.
Ŵandu ŵakuchinonyela chitendewele akupanganya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵane, mbesi jakwe ŵandu akutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
