Jacob 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Musava vadzidzisi vazhinji, hama dzangu, muchiziva kuti tichagamuchira kutongwa kukuru.
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.
Nokuti tese tinogumburwa pazvinhu zvizhinji. Kana umwe asingagumburwi pashoko, ndiye murume wakaperedzerwa, anogona kudzorawo muviri wese.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
Tarira, tinoisa matomu mumiromo yemabhiza kuti atiteerere, ndokutenderedza muviri wawo wese.
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.
Tarirai, nezvikepe, kunyange zviri zvikuru zvakadai, uye zvichitinhwa nemhepo dzine simba, zvinonangiswa nechidzoreso chidiki diki, chero kupi kunodikanwa nechishuwo chemufambisi.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
Rwakadarowo rurimi rwuri mutezo mudiki, uye rwunozvirumbidza zvikuru. Tarirai, moto mudiki unotungidza matanda akakura sei!
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)
Nerurimi moto, nyika yeuipi; ndizvo zvakaita rurimi rwakaiswa pakati pemitezo yedu, rwunosvibisa muviri wese, nekutungidza nzira yeupenyu, uye rwunotungidzwa negehena. (Geenna g1067)
7 For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
Nokuti marudzi ese emhuka neeshiriwo, neezvesewo zvinokambaira neezvisikwa zvegungwa anopingudzwa uye akapingudzwa nechisikirwo chevanhu;
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
asi hakuna munhu anogona kupingudza rurimi; uipi husingadzoreki, rwuzere nechepfu inouraya.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
Narwo tinorumbidza Mwari uye Baba, narwowo tinotuka vanhu vakaitwa nemufananidzo waMwari;
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
mumuromo umwewo munobva kurumbidza nekutuka. Hazvina kufanira, hama dzangu, izvi zvive saizvozvo.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Chitubu chingadzutura pamuromo umwe chinonaka nechinovava here?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
Hama dzangu, muonde unogona kubereka maorivhi here, kana muzambiringa maonde? Saizvozvo hakuna chitubu chinobudisa mvura inovava neinonaka.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Ndiani wakachenjera neanonzwisisa pakati penyu? Ngaaratidze nemufambiro wakanaka mabasa ake neunyoro hweuchenjeri.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
Asi kana mune godo rinovava nerukave mumoyo wenyu, musazvirumbidza nekurevera chokwadi nhema.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Uhu hausi uchenjeri hunoburuka kubva kumusoro, asi hwenyika, hwechisikirwo, hweudhimoni.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Nokuti pane godo nerukave, ndipo pane nyongano nekuita kwese kwakaipa.
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.
Asi uchenjeri hunobva kumusoro pakutanga hwakachena, kozouya kuva nerugare, kunyorova, kuteerera, kuzara netsitsi nezvibereko zvakanaka, husina kutsaura, uye husina kunyengera.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Uye chibereko chekururama chinodzvarwa murugare kune vanoita rugare.
