James 3
1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment.
E NA hoahanau o'u, aole make lilo na mea o oukou he nui i poe kumu, o loaa auanei ia kakou ka hoohewa nui ia mai.
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.
No ka mea, ma na mea he nui ua hewa kakou a pau: i hewa ole kekahi ma kana olelo, oia ke kanaka hemolele, e hiki hoi ia ia ke hoopaa i kona kino iho a pau i ke kaulawaha.
3 Behold we put bits into the mouths of horses for them to obey us, and we guide about their whole body.
Aia hoi, ke hookomo nei kakou i na kaulawaha iloko o ka waha o na lio i hoolohe mai lakou ia kakou; hoohuli ae hoi kakou i ko lakou kino a pau.
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.
Aia hoi, o na moku nui, ua hooholoia ae i na makani ikaika loa, a ua hoohuliia ae hoi e ka hoeuli uuku loa, ma kahi e makemake ai o ke kahu moku.
5 So also the tongue is a little body-part, and boasts greatly. Behold a little fire, how much wood it kindles.
Pela hoi, he lala unku ke alelo, a kaena nui ae la ia. Aia hoi, ua hoaaia he puu wahie nui e ka huna ahi!
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)
He ahi no ke alelo, he ao okoa ia o ka hewa; pela hoi ua kauia ke alelo iwaena o ko kakou mau lala, e hoohaumia ana i ke kino a pau, hoaa ae la ia i ko ke ao nei, a ua hoaaia mai ia e ka luaahi. (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.
Ua hoolakaia kela a me keia ano o na holoholona hihiu, a me na manu, a me na mea kolo, a me na mea hoi o ke kai, ua hoolakaia mai lakou e kanaka;
8 But no man is able to tame the tongue of men, an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Aka, o ke alelo, aole loa e hiki i ke kanaka ke hoolakalaka ia mea; he mea ino laka ole ia, ua piha i ka mea awahia e make ai.
9 By it we bless the God and Father, and by it we curse men, who were made according to a likeness of God.
Oia ko kakou mea e hoomaikai aku ai i ke Akua i ka Makua; oia hoi ko kakou mea e hoino aku ai i kanaka i hanaia'i ma ke ano o ke Akua.
10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and curse. My brothers, these things ought not to happen this way.
Ua puka mai la ka hoomaikai a me ka hoino noloko mai o ka waha hookahi. E na hoahanau o'u, aole loa e pono keia mau mea pela.
11 Does the spring pour out from the same opening the sweet and the bitter?
E puapuai mai anei ka wai ono a me ka wai awaawa noloko mai o ka punawai hookahi?
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.
E na hoahanau o'u, e hiki anei i ka laau fiku ke hua mai i ka hua oliva, a o ke kumu waina hoi i ka fiku? Oiaio hoi, aole e hiki i ka punawai hookahi ke kahe mai i ka wai awaawa a me ka wai ono.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show from his good behavior his works in meekness of wisdom.
Owai la ka mea akamai a me ka naauao iwaena o oukou? E hoike mai no ia ma ka noho maikai ana, i kana hana ana me ke akahai o ka naauao.
14 But if ye have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast, and do not lie against the truth.
Ina ia oukou ka huahuwa ikaika a me ka manao hakaka iloko o ko oukou naau; mai haanui oukou, a wahahee aku i ka oiaio.
15 This wisdom is not descending from above, but is earthly, world-soul, demonic.
Aole oia ke akamai i iho mai mai luna mai, aka, no ka honua ia, a no ke kino, a no na daimonio hoi.
16 For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is instability and every evil deed.
No ka mea, ma kahi e huahuwa ai a e hakaka ai hoi, aia malaila ka haunaele a me na hana ino a pau.
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.
Aka, o ke akamai noluna mai, he maemae no ia mamua, alaila he noho malie, he akahai, he oluolu, he piha hoi i ka lokomaikai a me ka hua maikai, aole loa e manao ino aku, aole hoi he hookamani.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who make peace.
A o ka hua o ka pono ua luluia me ke kuikahi e ka poe e hana ana ma ke kuikahi.
