James 3
1 My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Toronoo nggare! Atahori hetar rae ranori atahori mamahereꞌ ra. Naa malole! Te misinedꞌa, dei fo Lamatualain paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ atahori mana ranori atahori mamahereꞌ ra. De nda sudꞌiꞌ a se bole nanori sa.
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.
Basa nggita olaꞌ sala mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ nala bafa-maan, fo nda seredꞌedꞌedꞌe sa, ana nauli nahine basa masodꞌan.
3 For when we put the bits into the horses' mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about also their whole body.
Conto onaꞌ ndara. Hita bisa lea ndara monaeꞌ suet na fo talalao e tungga hita hihiin.
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.
Conto esa fai, ofai a. Anin monaeꞌ fuu naꞌamiminaꞌ ofai a tungga hihiin. Te uli anaꞌ o bisa tao ofai a dꞌalan tungga mana toꞌu uli a hihiin.
5 So also the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindleth!
Hita bꞌafan o onaꞌ naa boe. Bafaꞌ a anadikiꞌ te tataon seli tebꞌe! Naa onaꞌ ai mbilaꞌ mbei lalangge nabasaꞌ lasi.
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)
Bafaꞌ o, onaꞌ ai mbilaꞌ boe. Hita bisa pake bafa tara fo talutu dalaꞌ naeꞌ. Bafa tara bisa tao nalutu masodꞌa tara. Deꞌulakaꞌ hetar sia raefafoꞌ ia, kalua mia atahori bafan. Nitu ra malangga monaen o pake atahori bafan fo nalalao eni ue-tataon. (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;
Atahori ramamau rita banda fui mata-mataꞌ, banda mananodoꞌ, mbuiꞌ ma uꞌu sia tasi.
8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Te nda feꞌe hambu atahori esa namamau nala bafan sa. Te bafaꞌ a, bꞌua deꞌulakaꞌ susa neneneuliꞌ. Onaꞌ raso mana masoꞌ nisi ao-sisiꞌ fo tao nisa atahori.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men, who have been made after the likeness of God;
No bafaꞌ esa, atahori koa-kio ma rarai-oole. Naa nda nandaa sa! Hita pake bafa tara fo koa-kio Amaꞌ Lamatualain. Ma no bafaꞌ naa boe, hita rarai-oole atahori, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌadadꞌiꞌ tungga mata-aon. Saa de taꞌo naa?
10 out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain from the same opening send forth sweet water and bitter?
Onaꞌ oemataꞌ sa, nda bisa nandali oe minaꞌ no oe masiꞌ lao esaꞌ sa.
12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine, figs? Neither can salt water yield fresh.
Esa fai, ndaꞌe huuꞌ a nda bisa nabꞌoa dafalandu sa. Ma mbelaꞌ nda nabꞌoa bꞌoa anggor sa, to? Te hau a nabꞌoa tungga mata-aon. Onaꞌ hita nda bisa ndui oe minaꞌ mia lifu oe masiꞌ sa.
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.
Atahori dudꞌuꞌa malole ma nahine dalaꞌ tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin, nda bꞌole koa-bꞌoꞌu aon sa. Te ana bubꞌuluꞌ mahineꞌ naa mia Lamatuaꞌ. Hela fo natudꞌu mahinen, nendiꞌ masodꞌa ndoos na.
14 But if ye have bitter rivalry and strife in your hearts, do not glory and lie against the truth.
Mete ma ralam mera fo akaꞌ, muꞌututudꞌaꞌ atahori ra, na, Afiꞌ oro-ara mae, ho atahori dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ. Naa onaꞌ ho mana peko-lelekoꞌ. Te nesodꞌa taꞌo naa, naa nda naran ‘dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ’ sa. Naa, nda onda mia Lamatualain sa, te laoꞌ mia raefafoꞌ. Naa, nandaa neu atahori mana nda fee masodꞌa nara neu Lamatuaꞌ sa. Naa tungga nitu ra dꞌalan.
15 This wisdom is not that which descendeth from above, but earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where there is rivalry and strife, there is confusion and every evil work.
Te mete ma hambu rala meraꞌ ma netofa-nehuuꞌ, na, hambu nemue-anggiꞌ, ma atahori tao deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ.
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.
Te dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ mana onda mia Lamatuaꞌ naa, taꞌo ia: Fefeun ana tao nggita tasodꞌa meumareꞌ. Basa ma hita nda hii netofa sa, hita hii taloe ao tara, taꞌatataaꞌ ma neneeꞌ a. Nenendin tao rala tara malole, hii tulu-fali atahori, nda to heheliꞌ a esa sa, ma nda dea-mata to atahori laen ra sa.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Ma atahori mana natudꞌu dꞌala dꞌame nenendin maloleꞌ boe. Naa onaꞌ atahori sela fini, de dodꞌoo ma hambu mbule-bꞌoa maloleꞌ.
