James 3
1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
Valongo vangu, vamahele vinu vakotoka kuvya vawula. Ngati chammanyili, tete vawula yati tipata uhamula uvaha kuliku vangi
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.
Tete tavoha tibuda munjila ndalindali. Nambu ngati mundu ibuda lepi mukujova, mwenuyo ndi akangili ihotola kujilongasa mwene mumatendu gaki goha.
3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
Tete tivika chipandi cha lyuma chidebe chechikungiwi nyosi mumlomo wa falasi, muni vatiyidikila, na kwa kuhuta tihotola kumlongosa kwokoha kwetigana.
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.
Mewawa na watu, hati ngati uvaha neju, na ukang'wa na chimbungululu chikali nambu yihotoleka kung'anambuswa na chipandi chidebe cha ubau, na kuhamba kwokoha mgendesa watu kweigana
5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
Mewawa, lulimi pamonga ndi chiungu chidebe cha higa, nambu chihotola kumekela mambu gakulu neju. Holalela motu udebe chauhotola kutinyisa dasi yivaha.
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)
Mewawa lulimi ngati motu umemili uhakau, wenu ndi pandu padebe muhiga nambu wileta uhakau muhiga yoha. Ulimi usopa motu wumi witu woha kuhuma kuvelekewa mbaka kufwa. Kwa motu wewihuma kuligodi litali langali mwishu. (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;
Mundu ihotola kufuya hinyama na viumbi vyoha, hinyama ya mdahi, hidege, mayoka na viumbi vya mmanji.
8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
Nambu kawaka mundu mweahotwili kufuya lulimi. Lulimi ndi chindu chihakau, chilongoseka lepi na chimemili chimatila yeyikoma.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
Kwa lulimi tete tikumsengusa BAMBU na Dadi witu. Kwa lulimi lulolo tikuvapela likoto vandu, vevawumbiwi kwa luhumu wa Chapanga.
10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
Malovi ga kumotisa na ga likoto gihuma mumlomo umonga. Valongo vangu mambu ago giganikiwa lepi kuvya chenicho.
11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
Wu, chinyepa chimonga chihotola kuhumisa manji geginyong'onya na gegivava?
12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
Valongo, wu, mkongo wa mtini uhotola kupambika zeituni? Amala mkongo wa zeituni uhotola kupambika tini? Mewawa chinyepa cha manji gana mwinyu nakuhotola kuhumisa manji geginyong'onya.
13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
Wu, yani mweavi na luhala na umanya pagati yinu? Hinu alangisa kwa kukita matendu gabwina muwumi waki gegikitika kwa ungolongondi na luhala.
14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Nambu ngati mitima yinu yimemili wihu, kuvahakalila vangi na kujigana wamwene, hinu mkoto kufiya uchakaka kwa kujilumba na kujova udese.
15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
Luhala ngati lwenulo nakuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu pamulima na lwa chimundu na lwa Setani.
16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
Muni popoha pepavi na wihu na kujigana mwavene, pavi na chitututu na uhakau woha.
17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
Nambu luhala lweluhuma kunani kwa Chapanga hoti yinyambili, yigana uteke, na kuvagana vandu, yimemili lipyana na matendu gabwina, kawaka kubagula amala uhomela.
18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
Vandu vevigana uteke vikita mambu ga kuleta uteke kwa vandu vangi, chechihumila ndi kuvya vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
