Jacob 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
ana ndi gbugbulu ba kamti tsro na mrivayimu ki toh di kpa hukunci wa a zan tsanan
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.
nakima ki ka kub zah nijon gbugbuu du ndi wa ana kub zah ni tu tre na ahi ndi wa ba mla u be ndu wa ani vu tu ni kpama wawuu
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
inde ki lo nyu nghma di du ba huta ki yah di sarafa ikkpa ba huta ki yah di surafa ikpa ba wawuu
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.
bitoh igwu u dran ma naki ba bra kpukpuri naki gwugwu u gbegbenien mami zuba nikukre job fidima ndi u tru gwua ani kam hi ni bubu wa ani so
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
nakima ileme ahi vinghma kpa fi mei ani gbre san nikpie bi rigrama bika toh di vi ilu fi m i ani ri kile minji
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)
ileme me ahi ilu ni mi nghma kpa bu wawuu gbugbulu u lalitre wa ba ban you ni mi nghama ikpabu ani kpa kpa bu tieme ani du alamura rayuwa ba vulu wawu ahi ko lu wa ani shuti (Geenna g1067)
7 For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
nakia inanma rhjhu ba wawuu chicen nibi han ni ne ru kpie bi mi kikle nne ndi hei gbengbenlen ni yu ba
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
nitu leme nimi yan Adam ba wa ani ya vu ahi ihrji wa ana si na a gbugbulu u wu ndi
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
ni leme ki gbere bachi ni ti san nikima ki lah ndi wa ba tiba ni kamani riji
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
ni mi nyu kima lulu ni lah ni rhu mrivayi ikpie bi yi bika na ti na.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
i mah u roma ba uri ma bana iya rjhu ni bubu ri na
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
ba iya? mriyah kukron baure ana iya ti zaitu na ko ani ya? ko naki irjhu inabi anti yi baure? nakima imah u ri ana ya no imah u roma na.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
ahi nghan hei ni hikima ni toh rii mi bi? du ndi kima tsro didi uvri ni ndu ma u hikima
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
aman inde bi hei ni matsanci ihwu ni meme gbrashisi ni mi suron bi bika na wur wi ni san ni ice na ni njaji
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
iri hikima yi ana iri wa ani grji rji ni shu na nakima ahi u gbugbulun wa ana hei ni njaji na ahi u ibrji
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
naki duk bubu wa ihwu ni gbranshishihei niki wa nyun nihei ni kowane iri meme kpie
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.
nakima hikma hi iri u shu, ni mumula ana tsatsra naki son si ison kamili saukiyu ahei ni loh suron kpukpo me ni gbugbu zizi wa ana die na u didi
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
naki mri didi wa ba shu ni mi son si ni mi bi wa ba shu tu ba bi
