< James 3 >

1 My fellow believers, not many of you should [desire to] become teachers [of God’s truth, because] you know [that God] will judge us [(exc)], who teach others, more severely [than he will judge other people].
ଆରି ବୟାଁ ଆରି ତନାଇଂ ପେଇଂନେ ବିତ୍ରେ ଗୁଲୁଏ ରୁଆ ଦରମ୍‌ ସିକ୍ୟା ଗୁରୁ ଡିଂନେ ଦର୍‌କାର୍‌ ଣ୍ଡୁ । ଡାଗ୍ଲା ପେ ପେମ୍ୟାଃକେ ଜେ ନେ ସୁଗୁଆ ଗ୍ର‍ଇଂ ବିନ୍‌ ରେମୁଆଁବାନ୍ ମାଲେ କଷ୍ଟ ବାବ୍‌ରେ ବିଚାର୍‌ ଡିଂଆର୍‌ଏ ।
2 It is true that we all in many ways do things that are wrong [MET]. But those who always [LIT] control what they say will be all that God intends/wants them to be. They will be able to control all their actions [MTY].
ନେ ସାପାରେ ଗୁଲୁଏ ତର୍‌ ବୁଲ୍ ଡିଂନେଃବଏ । ଜଦି ଜାଣ୍ଡେଃ ମେଁନେ ବାଃଲିର୍‌ବାତାନ୍ନିଆ ଅଃନାଡିଗ୍‌ ବୁଲ୍ ଆଡିଂ ଣ୍ଡୁ ତେଲା ମେଁ ପୁରନ୍ ଆରି ନିଜେକେ ପୁରା ସାନ୍ତି ଡିଂୟାକେ । ସାପା ଗାଗ୍‌ଡ଼େକେ ଡିଗ୍‌ ନିଜେନେ ଅଦିକାର୍‌ରେ ବ୍‌ବନେ ୟାଏ ।
3 [To illustrate], if we put [a small metal] bit into the mouth of a horse in order to cause the horse to obey us, we can cause the horse to turn [and go where we want it to] [MET].
ଗଡ଼ାକେ ନିଜର୍ ଦାଇତ୍‌ରେ ବନେନ୍‌ସାଃ ନେ ଲାଗାମ୍ ନେଃବିଃଏ ଆରି ନେଃନେ ଇକ୍‌ଚା ଅନୁସାରେ ମେଁନେ ଗାଗ୍‌ଡ଼େକେ ଆଃଅଲେଙ୍ଗ୍ ନେଃୟାଏ ।
4 Think also about ships. [Although] a ship may be very large and [although] it can be moved by strong winds {strong winds can move it}, by [turning] a very small (rudder/steering paddle) people can direct the ship wherever they want [it to go].
ମୁଇଂ ମ୍ନାଃ ଜା‍ଆଜ୍‌ ବିସ‍ୟ୍‌ରେ ନେଃଗାପା । ଜାଆଜ୍‌ ଆଃକିର୍‌ଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ ମାଲେ ୱେଡ଼୍ୟାଃ ପାଂଡିଂଲା ଣ୍ଡିଗ୍‌ ଉଦିଗ୍‌ ଡାଆଁ ପ୍ଲଗ୍ ଏଃତେ ଆମେକେ ଅନ୍‌ମାନ୍‌ ଡିଂଚେଃ ଇକ୍‌ଚା ଅନୁସାରେ ଆଃକିର୍ ଡୁଂୱେଏ ।
5 Similarly, [although] our tongues are very small, [if we do not control them], we can [harm] many people by what we proudly say [MTY]. Think [also] about how [just] a small [flame of] fire can cause a large forest (OR, a large area of brushwood) to burn.
ଆକେନ୍‌ ଉଦାଅରନ୍‌ ନ୍ଲିଆ ଡାଗ୍ରା ଲେଃକେ । ଆତେନ୍‌‌ ଡାଆଁ ଡିଂଲା ଣ୍ଡିଗ୍‌ ମ୍ନାଃ ମ୍ନାଃ ସାମୁଆଁ ବାସଂଚେଃ ଗରବ୍‌ ଡିଂୟାଏ । ନେଃଗା କେଲାପା ଡିଡିରକମ୍‌ ମାଃସ ଡିଂଲାଣ୍ଡିଗ୍‌ ମ୍ନାଃ କଣ୍ଡାକେ ଆଗିଃ ବିଃଏ ।
6 [Just like a fire damages a forest] [MET], when we say things that are evil, [we harm many people]. What we say [MTY] reveals that we are very evil. What we say contaminates/defiles everything that we think and do [PRS, MET]. [Just like a flame of fire easily] causes [the whole surrounding area] [MET] to burn, what we say [MTY] can cause [others] to want to do evil. It is the devil himself [MTY] who causes us to say evil things. (Geenna g1067)
ନ୍ଲିଆ ସୁଆ ସୁଗୁଆ; ଗୁଲୁଏ ନାଲେ ବିସ‍ୟ୍‌ରେ ତ୍ନଲେଃକେ; ବାରି ଆତେନ୍‌‌ ନେଃନେ ଗାଗ୍‌ଡ଼େ ବିତ୍ରେ ଲେଃକ୍ନେ ନ୍‌ସାଃ ନାଲେ ବପୁ ବେପ୍ରେଚେଃ ନେଃନେ ସର୍‌ତେ ଜିବନ୍‌କେ ପାପ୍ ଆଡିଂଏ । ନ୍ଲିଆନେ ନର୍କ ସୁଆ ନେଃନେ ସାପା ଜିବନ୍‌କେ ଆଃଗିଃବିଏ । (Geenna g1067)
7 Indeed, although people are able to tame/control all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and creatures that live in the water, and people have actually tamed/controlled them,
ରେମୁଆଁ ସର୍‌ତେ କଣ୍ଡାଜନ୍ତୁ ପ୍ଲିଗ୍‌ ବୁବଃ ଗିଡ଼ିଆ କେଣ୍ଡିଆନ୍ନିଆ ଲେଃନେ ଜିବ୍‌କେ ନିଜର୍ ଅଦିକାର୍‌ରେ ବ ୟାକେ ।
8 no person ([on his own/by himself]) is able to control what he says [MTY]. And when people say evil things, [it shows that] they are unstable/uncontrolled and wicked [MTY]. [As] the poison [of a snake kills people] [MTY], [we harm others] [MET] by what we say.
ମାତର୍ ଜାଣ୍ଡେଃ ଅଃନା ନ୍ଲିଆକେ ନିଜର୍ ଅଦିକାର୍ ଆଡିଂ ଆୟାକେ ଣ୍ତୁ । ଆତେନ୍‌‌ ମିଚ୍‌ ଆରି ବାଗୁଏଟୁଗୁଏ, ମାଲେ ୱିଂଆଃ ରିଙ୍ଗ୍‌ଆଃନ୍ନିଆ ଆତେନ୍‌ ତ୍ନଲେଃକେ ।
9 We use our tongue to praise God, who is our Lord and Father, but we also use our same tongue to ask God to say evil things to people. [That is very wrong]! God made people like himself, [so we should speak as respectfully to others as we speak to God].
ନେ ନ୍ଲିଆ ଏଃତେ ମାପ୍‌ରୁ ଆବା ଇସ୍‌ପର୍‌କେ ଦନ୍ୟବାଦ୍‌ ନେଃବିଃ । ବାରି ଆକେନ୍‌ ନ୍ଲିଆ ଏଃତେ ଇସ୍‌ପର୍‌ନେ ସୁଗୁଆ ଆରେକ୍ନେ ରେମୁଆଁକେ ସେବ୍‌ ଣ୍ଡିଗ୍‌ ବିଃଲେଃ ।
10 We praise [God], but with our same mouth we also ask for evil [things to happen to others]. My fellow believers, this should not be!
ଆତେନ୍‌‌ ମୁଇଂ ତୁମୁଆଃବାନ୍ ଦନ୍ୟବାଦ୍‌ ଆରି ସେବ୍‌ ତର୍‌ସାଏ । ବୟାଁଇଂ ଦେକ୍‌ରକମ୍‌ ଡିଂନେ ଦର୍‌କାର୍‌ ।
11 Surely bitter water and good water do not come out of the same spring! [RHQ]

12 My fellow believers, a fig tree cannot [RHQ] produce olives. Nor can [RHQ] a grapevine produce figs. Neither can a salty spring produce good [water]. [Similarly, we should say only good things, and we should not say evil things] [MET].
ବୟାଁଇଂ ଲିୱା ସ୍ଲାଃଡାଗ୍ରା ମେଃଆରେ ଜିତ ଚୁଚୁଡ଼େ ଚୁଏ? ଅଙ୍ଗୁର୍‌ ଲ୍‌ଲିଡାଗ୍ରା ମେଃଆରେ ଲିୱା ଚୁଏ? ଦେତ୍‌ରକମ୍‌ ବିତିଗ୍‌ଡ଼୍ୟାଃ ଜର୍‌ନାବାନ୍‌ ମ୍ବ୍ରେକ୍ନେ ଣ୍ଡିଆ ତାର୍‌ ଆୟାଣ୍ଡୁ ।
13 If any of you thinks [RHQ] that [you are] wise and know a lot, you should always act in a good way to show people that your good actions are the result of your [being truly] wise. Being wise [helps us to act] gently [toward others].
ପେଇଂନେ ବିତ୍ରେ ଜାଣ୍ଡେଃ ମେଃଆରେ ଗ୍ୟାନି ଆରି ବୁଦିଣ୍ଡ୍ରେ? ମେଁ ଗିଆନ୍ ଆରି ଦରମ୍‌ ଏଃତେ ସତ୍‌କାମ୍‌ ଡିଂଚେଃ ମେଁ ଜିବନ୍‌ରେ ଆକ୍ମେନେ ସାକି ବିଃଲେଃ ।
14 But if you are very [MET] jealous/unhappy when you see that someone else is succeeding, and always want to have what you want, regardless of what others want, you should not say [that you are wise, for by boasting like that], you are saying that ([God’s message/what God says about you]) is not true.

15 Those who have such [attitudes are] not wise [MTY] in the way that God [wants them to be]. Instead, they are only thinking and acting like ([ungodly people/people who do not please God]). They think and act according to their own [evil] desires. They do what the demons [want them to do] (OR, they think and act as demons [do]).

17 But [when people] are wise [PRS] in the way that God [MTY] [wants them to be], they are pure in every way, which God considers to be very important. They also act peaceably towards [others], they (are considerate of/think about the rights and feelings of) others, they are willing to yield to [the wishes of] others, they act compassionately [toward others], and they do all kinds of good things [for others] [MET]. [How they treat others does] not depend on (others’ status/whether others are important or not), and they are sincere [in all they do].
