James 3
1 My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, in tia pus suwos weang mwet luti, tuh kowos etu lah kut mwet luti uh fah nununkeyuk upa liki mwet ngia.
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.
Kut nukewa tafongla pacl puspis. Tusruktu fin oasr mwet tia tafongla ke kas lal, el sie mwet suwohs su ku in leumi manol nufon.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Kut kapriya mwe kuhf se nu in oalin horse uh in sang kifasul elan akos kut ac fahsr nu yen kut lungse fahsr nu we.
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.
Nunku pac ke oak nes lulap uh, finne yohk ac el kasrusr ke eng upa uh, ac ku in kifusyuk ke kitin ikwik na srisrik, ac ku in kasrusr nu kutena acn ma captain el lungse in som nu we.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Ouinge loh uh: ma na srisrik se, a el ku in konkin ke ma lulap. Nunku ke insak na lulap se ac ku in firirla ke kitin firir na srisrik!
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)
Ac loh uh el oana sie e. El oana sie faclu ma sessesla ke ma sutuu, su oan in manosr ac osralik ma koluk in manosr nufon. El ku in furreak moul lasr nufon ke sie e na ngeng ma tuku in hell me. (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:
Ku in akmunayeyuk kain in kosro nukewa, ac mwet uh akmunaye tari kosro lemnak ac won, ma orakrak ac ik.
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Tusruktu soenna oasr sie mwet ku in akmunaye loh uh — ma na koluk se ac koflana kifusyukla, sessesla ke pwasin in misa.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Kut orekmakin loh uh in sang kulo nu sin Leum ac Papa tumasr, ac oayapa in selngawi mwet wiasr, su orekla in lemluman God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Kas in sang kulo ac kas in selnga tukeni illa liki oalu sefanna. Mwet wiuk, tiana wo in ouinge!
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Kof loslos ac kof taek tia ku in tukeni sororme liki unon in kof sefanna.
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, sak fig soko tia ku in fokla tuh olive pa fahko, ac oa in grape tia ku in fokla tuh fig pa fahko uh. Unon in kof kifinte tia ku in use kofonot.
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.
Ya oasr sie inmasrlowos su oasr etauk ac lalmwetmet yoro? Elan akpwayei ke moul wo lal, ac ke orekma wo el orala ke inse pusisel ac lalmwetmet.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Tusruktu insiom fin sessesla ke sok, srunga, ac nunku kac sifacna, nik kom orekma koluk in kisrung ma pwaye ke kom konkin lalmwetmet lom.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Lalmwetmet ouinge tia ma tuku lucng me, a ma lun faclu — tia ma lun ngun, a ma lun Devil.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Yen ma oasr sok ac nunku kac sifacna we, fohs ac kain in ma koluk nukewa oasr pac we.
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.
Ma se meet ke lalmwetmet lucng me uh pa nasnas; el oayapa misla, okak, ac kulang; sessesla ke pakoten ac fahko wo puspis; wangin srisri ac kutasrik.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Mwet iwe elos yukwiya fita lun misla, na elos ac fah kosrani fahko lun misla, su pa suwoswos.
