James 3
1 Do not let many be teachers, my brothers, having known that we will receive greater judgment,
N ninjabi, bi tundikaabi n da yabi i siigan nni, ke sieni ke ya bani ke bi te ba bu'ti hali lan ya paa.
2 for we all make many stumbles; if anyone does not stumble in word, this one [is] a perfect man, able to also bridle the whole body;
Ti kuli maadi tin bua yaali, nilo ya ke maadi yali n tie o pakɔnli, o tie ya nilo n tie niŋanmo, ke gɔ sieni ke cɔnlin nni o gbannandi. (ke cuo oba)
3 behold, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and we direct their whole body;
Ya yognu ke ti taa i baabi ki loli i taam ñɔna po, bi yi cɔln'ti ke tiendi tin bua yaali.
4 behold, also the ships, being so great, and being driven by fierce winds, are directed by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the [one] steering wills,
Diidi mani o ñinbiagu, wani yeni o yabndi kuli, niyendo ŋmagdo ko caa wan bua naani.
5 so also the tongue is a little member, and boasts greatly; behold, how much forest a little fire kindles!
Li tie yeni, ke o nilo lanbu tie bo ñidiga ke nan ke sengi oba kɔnman nni, o mu ñidiga n yi te di ke biani li fuali kuli.
6 And the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
O lanbu mɔ tie mu, ya ŋandunli n gbie yeni o yinyɔgu, ke jɔgndi o nusaalo gbannandi, ke biidi ti tajenli yenma, ke wan oba mɔnosieni ke ye a maba nni. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every nature, both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and has been subdued, by the human nature,
I yanbuoli kuli yeni polu po mu nuami kuli, tinga nni bo balinkaana yeni mi ñim nni bonfuoda kuli ye o nilo yikod po.
8 but no one of men is able to subdue the tongue—[it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison;
Ama nilo kan fidi ke paadi o lanbu, ke li tie ya yianu, ko gbie yeni mi kuuma lɔbdi
9 with it we bless the God and Father, and with it we curse the men made according to [the] likeness of God;
Ti tugdi ti lanbu ke yiini ke dondi u tienu, t gɔa tugdi wani ke maadi ti maabiidi u tienu n tagi yaali ke tieni o ninnangu po.
10 out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing; it does not need, my brothers, these things to so happen;
Ya ñɔbu n maadi mi maaŋanma yeni, lani n gɔa maadi ti maabiidi. N ninjabi, da ŋaa mani lani n ya tie yeni.
11 does the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
Bonga kpeli ke ye ke puubi mi ñu yia maligi ke gɔ puubi ya ñuma milgi ii?
12 Is a fig tree able, my brothers, to make olives? Or a vine figs? Neither is salty [water able] to have made sweet water.
O kankanmu, n ninjabi, ba fidi ke loni luan tɔla ke li ya ki tie kankana i? Li tie yeni ke yañumi kan fidi ke ya maligi nani sicili ñuma yeni?
13 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? Let him show his works out of good behavior in meekness of wisdom,
Ŋmaa i, i siiga nni, gbie yeni mi yanfuoma yeni o nunfanbu i? Wan jiini oba ke wani o tuona nni, ko gbie yeni mi yanfuoma.
14 yet, if you have bitter zeal, and rivalry in your heart, do not glory, nor lie against the truth;
Ama, li ya ke i pia i pala nni ti maalbiidi, da dongi mani iba ke gɔa da pua faama ke sieni ke nua i mɔni.
15 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
Li yanfuoma ke ñani polu po ka ama i tinga ne po, li tie gbannadi yeni sitaani yaali.
16 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;
Kelima naani ke i nanga yeni ti gbannadi buama ye, mi tudima yeni ti bontitiedi biidi buoli mɔ gbie e.
17 but the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, well-convinced, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical—
Polu po yanfuoma n cindi ke mɔni, ke gbie yeni mi buama, dagdi, ke taagi, ke gbie yeni sugli, ke tieni a luaŋanma, ke k pia lugdima ke gɔa tuagi.
18 and the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
Laafiaa luana ñaa yabi n maadi i mɔni kani.
