James 3
1 MY brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Ibiingi benu tabeelede kuba bayiisyi pe, nobakwesu, nkambo mulizi kuti iswe nituyiisya tuyobetekwa zikkalikali.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Nkambo toonse tuladadalika munzila inyingi. Kuti umwi muntu katadadaliki kumajwi, ooyo muntu uliluleme chakumaninina, kakkonzya akululamika mubili wakwe woonse.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Lino kuti twabikka nkabyo mumulomo wamabbiza kuti atulemeke, tulakonzya alimwi kululamika mibili yawo.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Amuzibe alimwi ikuti maato, nikuba kuti mapati byeni alimwi aleenzegwa aluuwo, alayambwa ansoke nini loko kuyosika kufumbwa nkwayanda sikwayenzya ensoke.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Muli eyi inzila, lulimi nchizo chinini loko, pesi lukomezya zintu zipati loko. Amubone alimwi kalilo kanini mbukatantezya lusaka loonse.
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue 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 alulalo nkalilo, inyika yazibi ibikidwe mukkati kabamwi besu. Lulimi lubozeka mubili woonse, luumpa buumi boonse, alimwi alulalo lubikwa mumulilo mubbibi lyazibi. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Nkambo woonse musyobo wamunyanyama wamulusaka, bayuni, tukwaba, azyuuka zyamulwizi zilivubidwe alimwi zilazyolololwa abantu.
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Pesi kumakani alulimi, tawope muntu ukonzya kululamika lulimi. Nchintu chitalulamikiki, chizwide buyoka bujaya.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Andulo lulimi tulalumbayizya Mwami wesu a Taata, alimwi tupa bantu milandu andulo, ibantu bakalengwa muchikozyano a Leza.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Kuzwa mumulomo nguwo omwe kuzwa zilongezyo azisapi zyamilandu, Nobakwesu, eezi zintu tazyelede kunochitika pe.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Sa ikasensa komwe kalazwa maanzi manono amanzi apanyuka?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Imukkuyu ulachita na nobakwesu, kuzyala insikili? Kana kuti masansa, azyale nkuyu? Aalo manzi tachikonzeki pe kuti akasensa komwe kuzwe alweela amanzi alamunse munono.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Alimwi ngwani musongo umvwisisisya aakati kenu? Mumuleke muntu oto atondeezye buumi bwakwe bubotu kwinda kumilimu yakwe mubuntu bwabusongo.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Pesi kuti koli aabbivwe lipanyuka amakanze mumoyo wako, ulikankayizyi pe akubejela kasimpe.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Obu tensi mbombubo pe busongo buza aansi kabuzwa kujulu. Pesi, tabukwe chintu, tabukwe muuya, buli amadimoni.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Nkambo awo ali bbivwe alukazyanyo, nkokuko kuli lupyopyongano anchito zyabulozi.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Pesi busongo buzwa kujulu lutanzi bulasalala, alimwi mbwalumuuno, bulatontola, bulalibombya, mbwamiyeeyo mibotu, buzwide ilwetelelo amichelo mibotu, tabujisi lwanzano lwamoyo lwamoyo alimwi buli bwinibwini.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Alimwi imichelo yabululami ilabyalwa muluumuno mukkati kabaabo bachita chalumuno.
