James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Walongu wangu, pakati penu namuwera wafunda wavuwa, toziya muvimana kuwera twenga wafunda hatupati utoza mkulu nentu kuliku wantu wamonga.
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.
Twenga twawoseri tulikwala muvitwatira vivuwa. Handa muntu yoseri kakosa ndiri nakamu muvisoweru vyakalonga, yomberi ndo muntu mkamilika na kaweza kuyilongoziya nshimba yakuwi yoseri.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
Twenga tumtulira falasi mumlomu mwakuwi ngoyi zya kumlonguziya su katujimiri, na kwa njira ayi tuweza kumlonguziya kwoseri kwatufira.
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.
Mtumbwi mkulu nentu yagushemwa meli, tembera ndo mkulu nentu, guweza kugalambuziwa kwa nkafi ndidini, na igenda kwoseri mlongoziya kwakafira.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
Ntambu iraa ayi, lulimi tembera luwera shiwungiru shididini sha nshimba, lulitumbira makulu nentu. Motu mdidini guweza kulunguziya lidowi likulu.
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)
Na lulimi lulifana na motu. Lulimi luwera shipandi shimu sha makondola ga ntambu yoseri pakati pa viwungiru vya nshimba. Iumemiziya nshimba yoseri na luyaka motu yagulawa mumotu gwa 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.
Muntu kaweza kufuga na kafuga kala viwumbi vya ntambu zoseri, wankanyama wa lidowi na wampongu na wanjoka na viwumbi vya kubahali.
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaweza kulukolamlima lulimi lyalulifana na nkanyama. Lulimi luwera shintu shidoda, hapeni gulukolimlima na lumema usungu wawulaga.
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 twenga tulonga mayagashii kwa Mtuwa na Tati gwetu. Kwa lulimi lulaa alu twawapangira wantu, wantu yawaumbwa kwa ntambu ya Mlungu.
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Visoweru vya kupetera mashi na vya kulapira vilawa mumlomu gumu. Walongu wangu vitwatira avi vifiruwa ndiri kuwera hangu.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Hashi, mbwiru yimu iweza kulaviya mashi ganoga na mashi ga munu pamuhera?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
Walongu wangu, mtera gwa mkuyu guweza kulera embi? Ama, mwembi guweza kulera kuyu? Ndala, mbwiru ya mashi ga munu gaweza ndiri kulaviya mashi ganoga.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Hashi, ndo gaa yakawera na luhala na mahala pakati pamwenga? Su kalanguziyi shitwatira ashi kwa mgenderanu gwakuwi guherepa na kwa matendu gakuwi maheri yagatendeka kwa unanaga na luhala.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
Kumbiti payiwera myoyu yenu imema weya wawuhanganyika na utama na shuki na kulifira mweni, su namulizyuma na kugalambula unakaka kuwera upayira.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Mahala ga tambu ayi galawa ndiri kumpindi, mahala aga ndo ga pasipanu, na ga shinshimba, kayi ndo ga shishetani.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Toziya poseri papawera na weya na kulifira mweni, panu pawera na ndewu na kila ntambu zya ukondola.
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.
Kumbiti luhala lwalulawa kumpindi kwa Mlungu, kwanja ndo luherepa na lufira ponga na unanaga na upikinira na lumema lusungu na lulera mabwajubwaju ga matendu gaherepa na lwahera ubagula ama ufyangu.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Vitwatira vyavimfiriziya Mlungu vilawirana na mbeyu zyaziyalitwi muponga, zyaziyalitwi na wantu yawajega ponga.
