James 3
1 Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.
Musava vadzidzisi vazhinji, hama dzangu, muchiziva kuti tichagamuchira kutongwa kukuru.
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.
Nokuti tese tinogumburwa pazvinhu zvizhinji. Kana umwe asingagumburwi pashoko, ndiye murume wakaperedzerwa, anogona kudzorawo muviri wese.
3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
Tarira, tinoisa matomu mumiromo yemabhiza kuti atiteerere, ndokutenderedza muviri wawo wese.
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.
Tarirai, nezvikepe, kunyange zviri zvikuru zvakadai, uye zvichitinhwa nemhepo dzine simba, zvinonangiswa nechidzoreso chidiki diki, chero kupi kunodikanwa nechishuwo chemufambisi.
5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
Rwakadarowo rurimi rwuri mutezo mudiki, uye rwunozvirumbidza zvikuru. Tarirai, moto mudiki unotungidza matanda akakura sei!
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)
Nerurimi moto, nyika yeuipi; ndizvo zvakaita rurimi rwakaiswa pakati pemitezo yedu, rwunosvibisa muviri wese, nekutungidza nzira yeupenyu, uye rwunotungidzwa negehena. (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;
Nokuti marudzi ese emhuka neeshiriwo, neezvesewo zvinokambaira neezvisikwa zvegungwa anopingudzwa uye akapingudzwa nechisikirwo chevanhu;
8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
asi hakuna munhu anogona kupingudza rurimi; uipi husingadzoreki, rwuzere nechepfu inouraya.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.
Narwo tinorumbidza Mwari uye Baba, narwowo tinotuka vanhu vakaitwa nemufananidzo waMwari;
10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
mumuromo umwewo munobva kurumbidza nekutuka. Hazvina kufanira, hama dzangu, izvi zvive saizvozvo.
11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
Chitubu chingadzutura pamuromo umwe chinonaka nechinovava here?
12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.
Hama dzangu, muonde unogona kubereka maorivhi here, kana muzambiringa maonde? Saizvozvo hakuna chitubu chinobudisa mvura inovava neinonaka.
13 Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
Ndiani wakachenjera neanonzwisisa pakati penyu? Ngaaratidze nemufambiro wakanaka mabasa ake neunyoro hweuchenjeri.
14 but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Asi kana mune godo rinovava nerukave mumoyo wenyu, musazvirumbidza nekurevera chokwadi nhema.
15 This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.
Uhu hausi uchenjeri hunoburuka kubva kumusoro, asi hwenyika, hwechisikirwo, hweudhimoni.
16 For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.
Nokuti pane godo nerukave, ndipo pane nyongano nekuita kwese kwakaipa.
17 But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.
Asi uchenjeri hunobva kumusoro pakutanga hwakachena, kozouya kuva nerugare, kunyorova, kuteerera, kuzara netsitsi nezvibereko zvakanaka, husina kutsaura, uye husina kunyengera.
18 But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
Uye chibereko chekururama chinodzvarwa murugare kune vanoita rugare.
