< 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].
Фраций мей, сэ ну фиць мулць ынвэцэторь, кэч штиць кэ вом прими о жудекатэ май аспрэ.
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].
Тоць грешим ын мулте фелурь. Дакэ ну грешеште чинева ын ворбире, есте ун ом десэвыршит ши поате сэ-шь цинэ ын фрыу тот трупул.
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].
Де пилдэ, дакэ пунем каилор фрыул ын гурэ, ка сэ не аскулте, ле кырмуим тот трупул.
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].
Ятэ, ши корэбииле, кыт де марь сунт, ши, мэкар кэ сунт мынате де вынтурь юць, тотушь сунт кырмуите де о кырмэ фоарте микэ, дупэ густул кырмачулуй.
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.
Тот аша ши лимба есте ун мик мэдулар ши се фэлеште ку лукрурь марь. Ятэ, ун фок мик че пэдуре маре апринде!
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)
Лимба есте ши еа ун фок, есте о луме де нелеӂюирь. Еа есте ачела динтре мэдулареле ноастре каре ынтинязэ тот трупул ши апринде роата веций, кынд есте апринсэ де фокул гееней. (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,
Тоате союриле де фяре, де пэсэрь, де тырытоаре, де вецуитоаре де маре се ымблынзеск ши ау фост ымблынзите де нямул оменеск,
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.
дар лимба ничун ом н-о поате ымблынзи. Еа есте ун рэу каре ну се поате ынфрына, есте плинэ де о отравэ де моарте.
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].
Ку еа бинекувынтэм пе Домнул ши Татэл ностру ши тот ку еа блестемэм пе оамень, каре сунт фэкуць дупэ асемэнаря луй Думнезеу.
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!
Дин ачеяшь гурэ ес ши бинекувынтаря, ши блестемул! Ну требуе сэ фие аша, фраций мей!
11 Surely bitter water and good water do not come out of the same spring! [RHQ]
Оаре дин ачеяшь вынэ а изворулуй цышнеште ши апэ дулче, ши апэ амарэ?
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].
Фраций мей, поате оаре ун смокин сэ факэ мэслине сау о вицэ сэ факэ смокине? Нич апа сэратэ ну поате да апэ дулче.
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].
Чине динтре вой есте ынцелепт ши причепут? Сэ-шь арате, прин пуртаря луй бунэ, фаптеле фэкуте ку блындеця ынцелепчуний!
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.
Дар, дакэ авець ын инима воастрэ пизмэ амарэ ши ун дух де чартэ, сэ ну вэ лэудаць ши сэ ну минциць ымпотрива адевэрулуй.
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]).
Ынцелепчуня ачаста ну вине де сус, чи есте пэмынтяскэ, фиряскэ, дрэчяскэ.
16 [Keep in mind that] people who have such attitudes (are unruly/do not submit to authority) and [do] all kinds of evil things.
Кэч, аколо унде есте пизмэ ши дух де чартэ, есте тулбураре ши тот фелул де фапте реле.
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].
Ынцелепчуня каре вине де сус, есте, ынтый, куратэ, апой пашникэ, блындэ, ушор де ындуплекат, плинэ де ындураре ши де роаде буне, фэрэ пэртинире, нефэцарникэ.
18 Those who [act] peaceably [toward others] cause [others to also] act peaceably, with the result that they all live together [acting toward each other] in a righteous way [MET].
Ши роада неприхэнирий есте семэнатэ ын паче пентру чей че фак паче.
