Jacob 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Kena vungi vwa vantu, va swanela ku va varuti, va kwangu. Twizive kuti mwi se ni tu tambwile inkatulo ikolete kuhita.
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.
Mi twese tu tatalika mwi nzila zingi. Heva zumwi ka tataliki mu zi wambo, nji kuti mukwame wizwile, yo woola ku yendisa muvili wakwe wonse.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
Hanu heva ni tuvika inkwele mu milomo ye mbizi mi ili kuti zi tuzuwe, tu woola ku yendisa nimivili yazo yonse.
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.
Kwina vulyo ni ku zisepe, ni hazili zi kando zi yendiswa luhuho lukando, zi futumwina kwina muchila munini konse kwa saka yo zi kovocha.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
Chamukwa wina vulyo lulimi chilama cha muvili chinini, mihe lu li kumusa cha zintu zikando. Mu lemuhe hape mulilo munini mu wola ku hisikiza muzuka mukando.
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 Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
Lulimi nalo mulilo, Inkanda ye chivi ivikitwe mu zilama za muvili wonse. Lu tampeka muvili wonse inkwe ni kutumbika kwi intuto ya vuhalo. Nji lona lwine luli vika mwi lyangalilo. (Geenna g1067)
7 For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
Mi cha mifuta ya zi nyolozi za mwi Inkanda, zi zuni, zi hahave, mi ni zi vumbantu za mwi wate zi tapiswa mi zi va tapiswa ni vantu.
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Kono, cha lulimi, kakwina mukati kenu yo wola ku lu tapisa. Ka luwoleki ku luyendisa lwina vuvi, lwizwile chifanu chi fwile.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
Chalo tulumbeka Simwine ni Tayo, mi chalo tukuta muntu, uzo ava vumbwa cha kuswana ni Ireeza.
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Kuzwa mu mulomo uswana kuzwa imbuyoti ni chikuto. Va kwangu, izi zintu kazi swaneli ku tendahala.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Kana mulonga u wola kwitila ku wi yalukila ku zwisa menzi malotu ni avava?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
Kana isamu lye feiga, va kwangu, li wola kuleta i oli? Kapa masamu amuwomba, kuvika feiga? Kana ku woleka kuti menzi ena mwinyo kuzwe ena menzi atavusa.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Njeni yo talifite ni kutwisiso mukati kenu? Muleke uzo muntu atotendeze vuhalo vulotu cha mitendo ya vuntu cha vutali.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
Kono heva mwina muna uvava ni kaani, mwi kulo zenu, sanzi mu litembi mi ku chenga ku amana ni vuniti.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Uvu kena nji vutali vu zwila kwi wulu. Kono, vwe Inkanda, vwa vantu, vwa vazimu.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Mi hena muna ni inkani, nji hena ku lyangana ni misevezi yonse ina ikwe.
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.
Kono vutali vuzwa kwiwulu, vunjolola, linu inkozo, kuluka, insoni, chishemo ni zihantu zilotu, ka kwina chishweka ni mwipo.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Mi zihantu zi njolola zi vwalwa mwi inkozo mukati kavo valeta inkozo.
