< Jacob 3 >

1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Holo bhane, si aje muwantu mubhinji mhwanziwa abhe manyizi, nyamumenye aje mwailongwa tee.
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.
Afuatanaje tenti tikosela humadala minji, nkashe whawhonti wa sabomela hunongwa zakwe, oyo muntu we lyoli, awezizye agukhane obele gwakwe gwonti nantele.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
Esheshi nkatibhea lwabho lwe fwalasi, humalomgabho bhahweteha, na tigalulanya amabele gawho gonti.
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.
Timanye nantele aje emeli, ata ngosi ebuhwa nehala ehali, zilongozewa no usukanani ododo teee abhale paponti pasongwa awale wajenzya.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
Shesho shesho, umele shiungo shidoodo she bele, shihwisombezya amagosi tee. Enyaji isengo igosi shali kholezewa nomwonga gwe mwoto.
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)
Omele nantele mwoto munsi ye mabhibhi, gubheshelwe mhati ye viungo vye bele gwetu, ambago gwankanya obele gwonti naweshe pamwanya pamwote amadala gelwizyo, olwetu tete na pembee omwoto gwa hwilongo. (Geenna g1067)
7 For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
Enyama zyonti zya mwipoli, nyonyi, na vyarihwavula na shiumbe sha shamunsombe shikhatililwa na bhantu,
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
nantele nomo umuntu ata weka waga wezya agukhane omele, wohwu wiwi wasaga upoma, umemile sumu ye buda.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
Hu mele tasombezya Ongolobhe Baba wetu, antele gwogwo tawapela awantu amakhosi awantu bhabhawombwelwe ofwano gwa Ngolobhe.
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Nante omele gwogwo guyanga enongwa zye nsayo na makhosi. Bhaholo bhane enongwa izi sezi wanziwa abhee.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Aje ilende limo ligafumya amenze aminza na mabhibhi?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
Bhaholo bhana aje, ikwi lya mwiki lipapa endondo zya mpoli, mzabibu gupapa endondo zya mwikwi? Nantele alobhe hemenze ge mwomisehafumya amenze gase ge mwoni.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Wenu mhati yenyu wali neshinsi ne njele? Eshi omuntu oyo abhonesye olwizyo olwinza hu mbombo zyakwe hulishilo lwa lufuma ne nshinshi.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
Ila nkashe mlinokelo okhali no mwoyo gwa hwilole moyo genyu, mungaje ahwilole na yanje ilenka mukhana zye lyoli.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Ene saga nshishi yefuma hula humwanya, ila baada yesho ye zya munsi se ye shiroho ia ye mapepo.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Afwataneje papali okelo na wilole epo pali nibho ne mbombo embibhi
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.
Ila enshinshi yefuma amwanya eli nyinza antele esongwa olwomvwana, ohogowe nenpyiana, omwene amemile humbombo enyinza bila apendelele awantu fulani, ne lyoti.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Na itunda lyelyoli litotwa hu uwinza wala bhabhawomba enongwa inyinza.
