James 3
1 My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Kada yawancinku su so ɗaukan kansu a matsayin malamai,’yan’uwana, domin kun san cewa mu da muke koyarwa za a yi mana shari’a mafi tsanani.
2 For in many things we all offend. If any one offend not in speech, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
Dukanmu mukan yi tuntuɓe a hanyoyi dabam-dabam. In wani bai taɓa yin kuskure a cikin maganarsa ba, shi cikakke ne, yana kuma iya ƙame dukan jikinsa.
3 For when we put the bits into the horses' mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about also their whole body.
Sa’ad da muka sa linzamai a bakunan dawakai don mu sa su yi mana biyayya, mukan iya bin da dabbar gaba ɗaya.
4 Behold also the ships, which, though they are so great, and driven by fierce winds, are yet turned about with a very small rudder, whithersoever the steersman chooseth.
Ko kuwa misali, mu dubi jiragen ruwa, mana. Ko da yake suna da girma ƙwarai kuma iska mai ƙarfi ce take tura su, ana tuƙa su da ɗan ƙaramin sandan ƙarfe ne zuwa duk inda mai tuƙin jirgin yake so.
5 So also the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindleth!
Haka ma harshe yake, ga shi ɗan ƙanƙanin gaɓar jiki ne, amma sai manyan fariya. Ku dubi yadda ɗan ƙaramin ƙyastu yake ƙuna wa babban jeji wuta mana.
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity! The tongue among our members is that which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of life, and is itself set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
Harshe ma wuta ne! A cikin duk gaɓoɓinmu, harshe shi ne tushen kowace irin mugunta, mai ɓata mutum gaba ɗaya, mai zuga zuciyar mutum ta tafasa, shi kuwa jahannama ce take zuga shi. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of beasts and of birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind;
Kowace irin dabba, tsuntsu, masu ja da ciki da kuma halittun da suke cikin teku an sarrafa su kuma mutum ne ya sarrafa,
8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
amma ba mutumin da zai iya ya sarrafa harshe. Mugu ne marar hutu, cike da dafi mai kisa.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men, who have been made after the likeness of God;
Da harshe mukan yabi Ubangijinmu da kuma Ubanmu, da shi kuma muke la’antar mutane, waɗanda aka halitta a kamannin Allah.
10 out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Daga wannan baki guda yabo da la’ana suke fitowa.’Yan’uwana, wannan bai kamata yă zama haka ba.
11 Doth a fountain from the same opening send forth sweet water and bitter?
Ruwa mai kyau da kuma ruwan gishiri zai iya fito daga maɓulɓula ɗaya?
12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine, figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh.
’Yan’uwana, itacen ɓaure yana iya haifar’ya’yan zaitun, ko kuma itacen inabi yă haifi’ya’yan ɓaure? Haka ma, maɓulɓular ruwan gishiri ba zai iya ba da ruwa mai kyau ba.
13 Who is wise and endued with knowledge among you P let him show out of a good course of conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.
Wane ne mai hikima da fahimta a cikinku? Bari yă nuna ta ta wurin rayuwarsa mai kyau, ta wurin ayyukan da aka yi cikin tawali’un da suke fitowa daga hikima.
14 But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.
Amma in kuna cike da mugun kishi da kuma sonkai a cikin zukatanku, kada ku yi taƙama game da wannan, ko ku danne gaskiya.
15 This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.
Irin wannan “hikima” ba daga sama ta sauko ba, ta duniya ce, ta rashin ruhaniya, ta Iblis kuma.
16 For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work.
Gama inda akwai kishi da sonkai, a can za a tarar da hargitsi da kowane irin mugun aiki.
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.
Amma hikimar da ta zo daga sama da fari tana da tsabta gaba ɗaya; sa’an nan mai ƙaunar salama ce, mai sanin ya kamata, mai biyayya, cike da jinƙai da aiki mai kyau, marar nuna bambanci, sahihiya kuma.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Masu salama da suke shuki cikin salama sukan girbe adalci.
