James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Kena vungi vwa vantu, va swanela ku va varuti, va kwangu. Twizive kuti mwi se ni tu tambwile inkatulo ikolete kuhita.
2 For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
Mi twese tu tatalika mwi nzila zingi. Heva zumwi ka tataliki mu zi wambo, nji kuti mukwame wizwile, yo woola ku yendisa muvili wakwe wonse.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
Hanu heva ni tuvika inkwele mu milomo ye mbizi mi ili kuti zi tuzuwe, tu woola ku yendisa nimivili yazo yonse.
4 Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth.
Kwina vulyo ni ku zisepe, ni hazili zi kando zi yendiswa luhuho lukando, zi futumwina kwina muchila munini konse kwa saka yo zi kovocha.
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
Chamukwa wina vulyo lulimi chilama cha muvili chinini, mihe lu li kumusa cha zintu zikando. Mu lemuhe hape mulilo munini mu wola ku hisikiza muzuka mukando.
6 And the tongue is fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Lulimi nalo mulilo, Inkanda ye chivi ivikitwe mu zilama za muvili wonse. Lu tampeka muvili wonse inkwe ni kutumbika kwi intuto ya vuhalo. Nji lona lwine luli vika mwi lyangalilo. (Geenna g1067)
7 For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man.
Mi cha mifuta ya zi nyolozi za mwi Inkanda, zi zuni, zi hahave, mi ni zi vumbantu za mwi wate zi tapiswa mi zi va tapiswa ni vantu.
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
Kono, cha lulimi, kakwina mukati kenu yo wola ku lu tapisa. Ka luwoleki ku luyendisa lwina vuvi, lwizwile chifanu chi fwile.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Chalo tulumbeka Simwine ni Tayo, mi chalo tukuta muntu, uzo ava vumbwa cha kuswana ni Ireeza.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Kuzwa mu mulomo uswana kuzwa imbuyoti ni chikuto. Va kwangu, izi zintu kazi swaneli ku tendahala.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Kana mulonga u wola kwitila ku wi yalukila ku zwisa menzi malotu ni avava?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Kana isamu lye feiga, va kwangu, li wola kuleta i oli? Kapa masamu amuwomba, kuvika feiga? Kana ku woleka kuti menzi ena mwinyo kuzwe ena menzi atavusa.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Njeni yo talifite ni kutwisiso mukati kenu? Muleke uzo muntu atotendeze vuhalo vulotu cha mitendo ya vuntu cha vutali.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Kono heva mwina muna uvava ni kaani, mwi kulo zenu, sanzi mu litembi mi ku chenga ku amana ni vuniti.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Uvu kena nji vutali vu zwila kwi wulu. Kono, vwe Inkanda, vwa vantu, vwa vazimu.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Mi hena muna ni inkani, nji hena ku lyangana ni misevezi yonse ina ikwe.
17 But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easie to be intreated, full of mercie and good fruites, without iudging, and without hipocrisie.
Kono vutali vuzwa kwiwulu, vunjolola, linu inkozo, kuluka, insoni, chishemo ni zihantu zilotu, ka kwina chishweka ni mwipo.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Mi zihantu zi njolola zi vwalwa mwi inkozo mukati kavo valeta inkozo.
