James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkaŵa ŵakwiganya ŵajinji pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti uweji utukwiganya tutulamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kwapunda ŵandu ŵane.
2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
Uweji wose tukuleŵa mwamujinji. Nambo iŵaga mundu ngakuleŵa mu nkuŵecheta kwakwe, jwelejo ali jwamalilwe, nombejo akupakombola kuchilongosya chiilu chakwe chose.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
Uwe tukuŵika chipaande chamwana cha chisyano chachitaŵikwe kwa migoji nkang'wa sya falasi kuti tukombole kuilongosya iilu yao kwaula kwakuli kose kwatukusaka uweji.
4 And look at the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
Iyoyo ngalaŵa namose jili jekulungwa nnope jikujigalikwa ni mbungo jakalipa nambo jikugalauswa ni chipande cha mwana cha chibao, ni jikwaula kwakusaka jwakujilongosya.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
Iyoyo peyo lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nnope pa chiilu nambo lukulilapilila indu yekulungwa nnope. Nganisye mooto kanandi yaukuti pakolesya litinji lyekulungwa nnope.
6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
Nombe lulimi luli mpela mooto. Lugumbele igongomalo ya pachilambo. Lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nambo lukukombola kuchinyakasya chiilu chose. Lukutinisya umi wetu chitandile kupagwa mpaka kuwa, kwa mooto waukutyochela ku jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
7 For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
Mundu akukombola kulanga inyama yailiyose nombe amasile kukombola kulanga, inyama ya mwitinji ni ijuni yailiyose ni inyama yaikukwaŵa yailiyose ni yaikutama mmeesi.
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi luli lwangalumbana ni ngalukukomboleka kululanga, ni lugumbele sumu jajikuulaga.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
Kwa lulimi tukwalapa Ambuje ni Atati ŵetu, ni kwa lulimi lulolo tukwalwesya ŵandu ŵagumbikwe chisau cha Akunnungu.
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Mu kang'wa jimo mukukopochela maloŵe ga upile ni maloŵe ga kulwesya. Achalongo achinjangu ngaikuŵajilwa indu iŵeje yeleyo.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Ana chisima chikukombola kukoposya kwanakamo meesi gambone ni meesi ga njete?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
Ana achalongo achinjangu chitela cha ntini chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya seituni pane chitela cha msabibu chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya tini? Ngwamba, chisima cha meesi ga njete ngachikukombola kukoposya meesi gambone.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Ana nduni jwali ni lunda ni umanyilisi pasikati ja ŵanyamwe? Nipele alosye yeleyo kwa lwendo lwakwe lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yaikupanganyikwa kwa kulitulusya ni lunda.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
Nambo iŵaga mmitima jenu mugumbele wiu ni uchimwa ni lipamo, nkasisa usyene kwa kulilapa ni kusala unami.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Lunda lwati yeleyo ngalukutuluka kutyochela kwinani nambo luli lunda lwa pa chilambo, lwele lunda luli lwa chiundu ni lukutyochela kwa Shetani.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Pakuŵa papali ni wiu ni lipamo, pana utindiganyo ni ipanganyo yose yangalimate.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.
Nambo lwele lunda lwalukutyochela kwinani, luli lwakusalala, lukusaka chitendewele ni kulitimalika, luli chile kupilikanila maloŵe ga ŵandu. Lugumbele chanasa ni ipanganyo yambone, nganilukola lusagu, namuno kulambusya.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Ŵandu ŵakuchinonyela chitendewele akupanganya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵane, mbesi jakwe ŵandu akutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
