James 3
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
Mobanse bame, kamutafula mobeshikwiyisha, pakwinga tobeshikwiyisha nitukomboloshewe mwakutuyumina moyo kupita bantu nabambi.
2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
Twense tukute kwipisha mubintu bingi. Na mpwali utalisuntulu pakwamba, okwambeti uyo walulama, pakwinga wela kukonsha kwendelesha cena mubili wakendi wonse.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
Tukute kubika kela kang'anowa mukanwa mwa Lihaki kwambeti litunyumfwilenga kayi nekukonsha kututwala kulikonse nkotulayandanga kuya.
4 Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
Kayi kamubonani bwato, nambi nibunene kayi bukute kunyakwa ne mpepo, nsombi bukute kunyonwa nekatondo kakukwashusha, kwambeti bwenga kulikonse nkwalayandanga labwendeleshenga.
5 In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
Neco nicimocimo ne lulemi. Nikabela kang'ana, nsombi kakute kulitunta ne kwinsa bintu binene. Kayi kamubonani kukonempa kwa cisuwa, nsombi cikute kupya ne kamumuni kang'ana ka mulilo.
6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
Neco nalo lulemi lulyeti mulilo. Pakwinga luli mukati mumubili wetu, lukute kumwaya bintu byaipa mumubili wonse. Lukute kwipisha bwikalo bwa muntu. Lukute kutenta buyumi bwetu bonse kufuma mpotwalasemwa mpaka pakufwa, mulilowo ukute kufumina ku Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
Muntu ngaucikonsha kusuwa banyama bamushobo uliwonse, nambi mushobo wabikeni, nambi mushobo wabishi kukalaba, nambi mushobo wa bintu byamumenshi pakwinga walabisuwapo.
8 but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Nsombi paliya muntu wela kukonsha kuwendelesha lulemi. Lulemi lwaipa, nkalusungwa, lwesula nebusungu.
9 With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
Ne lulemi tukute kulumba Lesa Bameshetu, nomba kayi ne lulemi lopelolo tukute kushingana banetu mbwalabumba Lesa, abo bakoshana nendi.
10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
Pamulomo umoumo pakute kufuma kulumba, nekushingana. Mobanse bame, ibi kabitenshikanga.
11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
Sena pamukalo umoumo ngapafuma menshi aina, kayi ne alula?
12 My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Mobanse bame sena citondo ca mukuyu ingacisema bisepo bya mbula, nambi citondo camutumbi ngacikata nkuyu? Cimocimo mukalo wa menshi amucele nkela kupulisha menshi aina.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
Niyani ukute mano kayi ukute kunyumfwisha bintu? Aboneshe mikalilo yakendi yaina, nekwinsa bintu mwakulicepesha.
14 But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
Nomba mwakutenga moyo wamunyono ne wakulibona buntu, kamutalitunta pakutotekeshana necancine ncine pakwamba bwepeshi.
15 Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
Mano alico ntewo akute kufuma kwilu sobwe, akute kufuma kubantu nekumishimu yaipa yapano pacishi capanshi.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
Pakwinga pali munyono, nekulibona buntu, pali minyungwe nencito yaipa yamushobo uliwonse.
17 But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
Nomba mano alafumunga kwilu, cakutanguna akute kuba alulama, alumuno, kayi akulicepesha, kayi eshikunyumfwa. Mano ankumbo, akute kusema bisepo byaina. Mano alico nkasalululu, nambi kulibonesha.
18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
Neco mbuto shikute kubyalwa ne bantu mulumuno shikute kuleta bululami.
