James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Yaa obboloota ko, baayʼeen keessan barsiistota hin taʼinaa; nu warra barsiisnutti murtii cimaan akka muramu ni beektuutii.
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.
Nu hundinuu karaa baayʼeedhaan gufanna. Namni waan dubbatu keessatti hin gufanne kam iyyuu nama hirʼina hin qabnee dha; dhagna isaas guutummaatti toʼachuu dandaʼa.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
Fardi akka nuuf ajajamuuf yoo afaan isaa luugamne dhagna isaa guutuu gara barbaanne geessuu dandeenya.
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.
Mee doonii illee ilaalaa! Dooniin yoo akka malee guddaa taʼee bubbee jabaadhaan oofame illee namichi isa oofu batoo xinnoo isheetiin gara barbaadetti geessa.
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
Akkasuma immoo arrabni kutaa dhagnaa xinnoo dha; waan gurguddaadhaan of jaja. Bosonni hammam guddaa taʼu iyyuu qaanqee ibiddaa xinnaadhaan akka gubatu hubadhaa.
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)
Arrabni ibidda; kutaawwan dhagnaa keessattis addunyaa hamminaa ti. Inni dhagna guutuu xureessa; adeemsa uumamaattis ibidda qabsiisa; ofii isaatii immoo ibidda gahaannamiitiin gubama. (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.
Bineensonni gosa hundaa, simbirroonni, uumamawwan lafa irra looʼanii fi galaana keessa jiraatan hundinuu namaan madaqfamu; madaqfamaniirus;
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
arraba garuu namni tokko iyyuu leenjisuu hin dandaʼu. Arrabni hamaa boqonnaa hin qabnee dha; summii nama ajjeesuunis kan guutamee dha.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Nu arrabaan Gooftaa fi Abbaa eebbifna; isumaan immoo nama bifa Waaqaatiin uumame abaarra.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Afaanuma tokko keessaa eebbii fi abaarsi baʼa. Yaa obboloota ko, wanni kun akkas taʼuu hin qabu.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Bishaan miʼaawaa fi hadhaaʼaan burqaa tokko keessaa ni baʼaa?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Yaa obboloota ko, mukni harbuu ija ejersaa naqachuu yookaan wayiniin ija harbuu naqachuu dandaʼaa? Akkasuma immoo burqaan bishaan soogiddaa bishaan miʼaawaa kennuu hin dandaʼu.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Isin keessaa ogeessii fi hubataan eenyu? Kanas inni jireenya isaa gaariidhaan, hojii ogummaa kan gad of qabuudhaan hojjetamuun haa argisiisu.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Isin garuu yoo hinaaffaa hadhaaʼaa fi hawwii ofittummaa garaa keessan keessaa qabaattan of hin jajinaa; dhugaa irrattis soba hin dubbatinaa.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Ogummaan kun kan lafaa ti; kan foonii ti; kan hafuura hamaati malee kan samii irraa dhufu miti.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Iddoo hinaaffaa fi hawwiin ofittummaa jiru, jeequmsaa fi hojii hamminaa hundumatu jira.
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.
Ogummaan samii irraa dhufu garuu duraan dursee qulqulluu dha; akkasumas nagaa qabeessa; garraamii dha; ajajamaa dha; kan araaraa fi ija gaariin guutamee dha; wal caalchisuu fi itti fakkeessuus of keessaa hin qabu.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Iji qajeelummaa warra nagaa buusaniin nagaadhaan facaafama.
