James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Walongu wangu, pakati penu namuwera wafunda wavuwa, toziya muvimana kuwera twenga wafunda hatupati utoza mkulu nentu kuliku wantu wamonga.
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.
Twenga twawoseri tulikwala muvitwatira vivuwa. Handa muntu yoseri kakosa ndiri nakamu muvisoweru vyakalonga, yomberi ndo muntu mkamilika na kaweza kuyilongoziya nshimba yakuwi yoseri.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
Twenga tumtulira falasi mumlomu mwakuwi ngoyi zya kumlonguziya su katujimiri, na kwa njira ayi tuweza kumlonguziya kwoseri kwatufira.
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.
Mtumbwi mkulu nentu yagushemwa meli, tembera ndo mkulu nentu, guweza kugalambuziwa kwa nkafi ndidini, na igenda kwoseri mlongoziya kwakafira.
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
Ntambu iraa ayi, lulimi tembera luwera shiwungiru shididini sha nshimba, lulitumbira makulu nentu. Motu mdidini guweza kulunguziya lidowi likulu.
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)
Na lulimi lulifana na motu. Lulimi luwera shipandi shimu sha makondola ga ntambu yoseri pakati pa viwungiru vya nshimba. Iumemiziya nshimba yoseri na luyaka motu yagulawa mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (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.
Muntu kaweza kufuga na kafuga kala viwumbi vya ntambu zoseri, wankanyama wa lidowi na wampongu na wanjoka na viwumbi vya kubahali.
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaweza kulukolamlima lulimi lyalulifana na nkanyama. Lulimi luwera shintu shidoda, hapeni gulukolimlima na lumema usungu wawulaga.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Kwa lulimi twenga tulonga mayagashii kwa Mtuwa na Tati gwetu. Kwa lulimi lulaa alu twawapangira wantu, wantu yawaumbwa kwa ntambu ya Mlungu.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Visoweru vya kupetera mashi na vya kulapira vilawa mumlomu gumu. Walongu wangu vitwatira avi vifiruwa ndiri kuwera hangu.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Hashi, mbwiru yimu iweza kulaviya mashi ganoga na mashi ga munu pamuhera?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Walongu wangu, mtera gwa mkuyu guweza kulera embi? Ama, mwembi guweza kulera kuyu? Ndala, mbwiru ya mashi ga munu gaweza ndiri kulaviya mashi ganoga.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Hashi, ndo gaa yakawera na luhala na mahala pakati pamwenga? Su kalanguziyi shitwatira ashi kwa mgenderanu gwakuwi guherepa na kwa matendu gakuwi maheri yagatendeka kwa unanaga na luhala.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Kumbiti payiwera myoyu yenu imema weya wawuhanganyika na utama na shuki na kulifira mweni, su namulizyuma na kugalambula unakaka kuwera upayira.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Mahala ga tambu ayi galawa ndiri kumpindi, mahala aga ndo ga pasipanu, na ga shinshimba, kayi ndo ga shishetani.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Toziya poseri papawera na weya na kulifira mweni, panu pawera na ndewu na kila ntambu zya ukondola.
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.
Kumbiti luhala lwalulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kwanja ndo luherepa na lufira ponga na unanaga na upikinira na lumema lusungu na lulera mabwajubwaju ga matendu gaherepa na lwahera ubagula ama ufyangu.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Vitwatira vyavimfiriziya Mlungu vilawirana na mbeyu zyaziyalitwi muponga, zyaziyalitwi na wantu yawajega ponga.
