James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Abooluganda, abayigiriza tebasaanye kubeera bangi mu mmwe, kubanga mukimanyi nga ffe tulisalirwa omusango munene okusinga abalala.
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.
Ffenna tusobya mu ngeri nnyingi. Omuntu yenna atasobya mu kwogera, aba muntu eyatuukirira, asobola okufuga omubiri gwe gwonna.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
Tuyinza okufuga embalaasi ne tugikozesa kye twagala olw’ebyuma bye tuba tutadde mu kamwa kaayo.
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.
Era n’enkasi entono esobola okukyusa ekyombo ekinene ennyo n’ekiraza omugoba waakyo gy’ayagala, newaakubadde ng’empewo ekisindika ebeera ya maanyi mangi.
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
N’olulimi bwe lutyo, newaakubadde nga kantu katono, lwenyumiriza nnyo. Akaliro akatono kasobola okukoleeza ekibira ekinene ne kiggya.
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)
Olulimi nalwo muliro. Lujjudde obutali butuukirivu bungi okusinga ebitundu ebirala eby’omubiri gwaffe. Lwo omuliro luguggya mu ggeyeena, ne lulyoka lukoleeza omubiri gw’omuntu gwonna ne gwaka ng’oluyiira okumutuusa mu kuzikirira. (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.
Abantu, ebisolo ebya buli ngeri n’ennyonyi, n’ebyekulula, era n’eby’omu nnyanja basobola okubiyigiriza ne babifuga,
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
naye tewali muntu n’omu asobola kufuga lulimi. Terufugika era lubi nnyo, lujjudde obutwa obuttirawo.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Olulimi tulukozesa okutendereza Mukama era Kitaffe, ate era lwe tukolimiza abantu abaatondebwa mu kifaananyi kya Katonda.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Mu kamwa ke kamu ne muvaamu okutendereza n’okukolima. Abooluganda, kino si bwe kyandibadde bwe kityo!
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Ensulo y’emu eyinza okuvaamu amazzi agawoomerera n’agakaawa?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Abooluganda omutiini guyinza okubala ezeyituuni, oba omuzabbibu okubala ettiini? Bw’etyo n’ensulo y’emu teyinza kuvaamu mazzi ga munnyo na gawoomerera.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Ani alina amagezi n’okutegeera mu mmwe? Kale abiragirenga mu mpisa ze ennungi ng’akola ebikolwa eby’obwetoowaze eby’amagezi.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Bwe muba n’omutima omukyayi ogujjudde n’obuggya, era nga mwefaako mwekka, temusaanidde kwewaana na kulimba nga mukontana n’amazima.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Kubanga amagezi ng’ago tegava eri Katonda mu ggulu wabula ga ku nsi, era si ga mwoyo wazira ga Setaani.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Kubanga buli awabeera obuggya n’okwefaako wekka, wabeerawo okutabukatabuka era n’ebikolwa ebirala ebibi byonna.
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.
Naye amagezi agava mu ggulu okusooka byonna malongoofu, era ga mirembe, gafaayo ku bantu abalala, mawulize, gajjudde okusaasira n’ebibala ebirungi, tegasosola mu bantu, era si gannanfuusi.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Era ekibala eky’obutuukirivu kiva mu abo abakolerera emirembe.
