James 3
1 My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Achalongo achinjangu, nkaŵa ŵakwiganya ŵajinji pakuŵa nkumanyilila kuti uweji utukwiganya tutulamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kwapunda ŵandu ŵane.
2 For in many things we all offend. If any man offendeth not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
Uweji wose tukuleŵa mwamujinji. Nambo iŵaga mundu ngakuleŵa mu nkuŵecheta kwakwe, jwelejo ali jwamalilwe, nombejo akupakombola kuchilongosya chiilu chakwe chose.
3 Behold, we put bits in the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Uwe tukuŵika chipaande chamwana cha chisyano chachitaŵikwe kwa migoji nkang'wa sya falasi kuti tukombole kuilongosya iilu yao kwaula kwakuli kose kwatukusaka uweji.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and [are] driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor willeth.
Iyoyo ngalaŵa namose jili jekulungwa nnope jikujigalikwa ni mbungo jakalipa nambo jikugalauswa ni chipande cha mwana cha chibao, ni jikwaula kwakusaka jwakujilongosya.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Iyoyo peyo lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nnope pa chiilu nambo lukulilapilila indu yekulungwa nnope. Nganisye mooto kanandi yaukuti pakolesya litinji lyekulungwa nnope.
6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. (Geenna g1067)
Nombe lulimi luli mpela mooto. Lugumbele igongomalo ya pachilambo. Lulimi luli chiŵalo cha mwana nambo lukukombola kuchinyakasya chiilu chose. Lukutinisya umi wetu chitandile kupagwa mpaka kuwa, kwa mooto waukutyochela ku jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:
Mundu akukombola kulanga inyama yailiyose nombe amasile kukombola kulanga, inyama ya mwitinji ni ijuni yailiyose ni inyama yaikukwaŵa yailiyose ni yaikutama mmeesi.
8 But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Nambo ngapagwa mundu jwakukombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi luli lwangalumbana ni ngalukukomboleka kululanga, ni lugumbele sumu jajikuulaga.
9 With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God.
Kwa lulimi tukwalapa Ambuje ni Atati ŵetu, ni kwa lulimi lulolo tukwalwesya ŵandu ŵagumbikwe chisau cha Akunnungu.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Mu kang'wa jimo mukukopochela maloŵe ga upile ni maloŵe ga kulwesya. Achalongo achinjangu ngaikuŵajilwa indu iŵeje yeleyo.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?
Ana chisima chikukombola kukoposya kwanakamo meesi gambone ni meesi ga njete?
12 Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain [can] yield both salt water and fresh.
Ana achalongo achinjangu chitela cha ntini chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya seituni pane chitela cha msabibu chikukombola kusogosya isogosi ya tini? Ngwamba, chisima cha meesi ga njete ngachikukombola kukoposya meesi gambone.
13 Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good deportment his works with meekness of wisdom.
Ana nduni jwali ni lunda ni umanyilisi pasikati ja ŵanyamwe? Nipele alosye yeleyo kwa lwendo lwakwe lwambone kwa litala lya ipanganyo yaikupanganyikwa kwa kulitulusya ni lunda.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Nambo iŵaga mmitima jenu mugumbele wiu ni uchimwa ni lipamo, nkasisa usyene kwa kulilapa ni kusala unami.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, demoniacal.
Lunda lwati yeleyo ngalukutuluka kutyochela kwinani nambo luli lunda lwa pa chilambo, lwele lunda luli lwa chiundu ni lukutyochela kwa Shetani.
16 For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
Pakuŵa papali ni wiu ni lipamo, pana utindiganyo ni ipanganyo yose yangalimate.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Nambo lwele lunda lwalukutyochela kwinani, luli lwakusalala, lukusaka chitendewele ni kulitimalika, luli chile kupilikanila maloŵe ga ŵandu. Lugumbele chanasa ni ipanganyo yambone, nganilukola lusagu, namuno kulambusya.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.
Ŵandu ŵakuchinonyela chitendewele akupanganya indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele kwa ŵandu ŵane, mbesi jakwe ŵandu akutendekwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
