James 3
1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
Kada yawancinku su so ɗaukan kansu a matsayin malamai,’yan’uwana, domin kun san cewa mu da muke koyarwa za a yi mana shari’a mafi tsanani.
2 For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, he [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.
Dukanmu mukan yi tuntuɓe a hanyoyi dabam-dabam. In wani bai taɓa yin kuskure a cikin maganarsa ba, shi cikakke ne, yana kuma iya ƙame dukan jikinsa.
3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
Sa’ad da muka sa linzamai a bakunan dawakai don mu sa su yi mana biyayya, mukan iya bin da dabbar gaba ɗaya.
4 Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
Ko kuwa misali, mu dubi jiragen ruwa, mana. Ko da yake suna da girma ƙwarai kuma iska mai ƙarfi ce take tura su, ana tuƙa su da ɗan ƙaramin sandan ƙarfe ne zuwa duk inda mai tuƙin jirgin yake so.
5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
Haka ma harshe yake, ga shi ɗan ƙanƙanin gaɓar jiki ne, amma sai manyan fariya. Ku dubi yadda ɗan ƙaramin ƙyastu yake ƙuna wa babban jeji wuta mana.
6 and the tongue [is] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Harshe ma wuta ne! A cikin duk gaɓoɓinmu, harshe shi ne tushen kowace irin mugunta, mai ɓata mutum gaba ɗaya, mai zuga zuciyar mutum ta tafasa, shi kuwa jahannama ce take zuga shi. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;
Kowace irin dabba, tsuntsu, masu ja da ciki da kuma halittun da suke cikin teku an sarrafa su kuma mutum ne ya sarrafa,
8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
amma ba mutumin da zai iya ya sarrafa harshe. Mugu ne marar hutu, cike da dafi mai kisa.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
Da harshe mukan yabi Ubangijinmu da kuma Ubanmu, da shi kuma muke la’antar mutane, waɗanda aka halitta a kamannin Allah.
10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
Daga wannan baki guda yabo da la’ana suke fitowa.’Yan’uwana, wannan bai kamata yă zama haka ba.
11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
Ruwa mai kyau da kuma ruwan gishiri zai iya fito daga maɓulɓula ɗaya?
12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
’Yan’uwana, itacen ɓaure yana iya haifar’ya’yan zaitun, ko kuma itacen inabi yă haifi’ya’yan ɓaure? Haka ma, maɓulɓular ruwan gishiri ba zai iya ba da ruwa mai kyau ba.
13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
Wane ne mai hikima da fahimta a cikinku? Bari yă nuna ta ta wurin rayuwarsa mai kyau, ta wurin ayyukan da aka yi cikin tawali’un da suke fitowa daga hikima.
14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Amma in kuna cike da mugun kishi da kuma sonkai a cikin zukatanku, kada ku yi taƙama game da wannan, ko ku danne gaskiya.
15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
Irin wannan “hikima” ba daga sama ta sauko ba, ta duniya ce, ta rashin ruhaniya, ta Iblis kuma.
16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
Gama inda akwai kishi da sonkai, a can za a tarar da hargitsi da kowane irin mugun aiki.
17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
Amma hikimar da ta zo daga sama da fari tana da tsabta gaba ɗaya; sa’an nan mai ƙaunar salama ce, mai sanin ya kamata, mai biyayya, cike da jinƙai da aiki mai kyau, marar nuna bambanci, sahihiya kuma.
18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
Masu salama da suke shuki cikin salama sukan girbe adalci.
