< James 3 >
1 Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.
Macallimiin badan ha noqonina, walaalahayow, idinkoo garanaya inaynu heli doonno xukun ka sii weyn.
2 For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.
Waayo, dhammaanteen wax badan baynu ku gafnaa. Haddii nin ku gafi waayo hadalka, kaasu waa nin kaamil ah, wuuna xakamayn karaa jidhka oo dhan.
3 Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round.
Haddaba haddaynu fardaha afkooda xakame gelinno inay ina addeecaan, jidhkooda oo dhanna waynu jeedinnaa.
4 So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at the helm chooses.
Ogaada, xataa doonniyaha, in kastoo ay waaweyn yihiin, oo dabaylo waaweynu kaxeeyaan, weliba waxaa loogu jeediyaa shukaan aad u yar meeshii ninka wada qushigiisu doonayo.
5 In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames.
Sidaas oo kalena carrabku waa qayb yar, waxyaalo waaweyn buuna ku faanaa. Bal eega dab yaru intuu qoryo shido.
6 And the tongue is a fire. That world of iniquity, the tongue, is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna )
Carrabkuna waa dab, waana dunida xaqdarrada. Carrabku wuxuu ku dhex jiraa xubnaheenna, waana kan wasakheeya jidhka oo dhan oo ololiya orodka abuurista, oo jahannamadu isagay ololisaa. (Geenna )
7 For brute nature under all its forms--beasts and birds, reptiles and fishes--can be subjected and kept in subjection by human nature.
Cayn walba oo ah dugaag, iyo haad, iyo waxa bogga ku gurguurta, iyo waxa badda ku jiraba waa la rabbeeyaa, oo waxaa lagu rabbeeyey dabiicadda dadka.
8 But the tongue no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison.
Laakiin ninna ma rabbayn karo carrabka; waa shar rogrogmada, oo waxaa ka buuxda sunta wax disha.
9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness.
Isla isagaynu ku ammaannaa Rabbiga iyo Aabbaha, oo isla isagaynu ku habaarnaa dadka Ilaah ekaantiisa laga abuuray.
10 Out of the same mouth there proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be.
Isku af baa waxaa ka soo baxa ammaan iyo habaar. Walaalahayow, waxyaalahanu waa inaanay sidaas noqon.
11 In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from the same opening?
Ishu miyey isku meel ka soo wada daysaa biyo macaan iyo kuwa qadhaadh?
12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? No; and neither can salt water yield sweet.
Walaalahayow, geed berde ahu miyuu dhali karaa saytuun, ama geed canab ahu miyuu dhali karaa midho berde ah? Sidaas oo kalena biyo dhanaanu macaan ma ay noqon karaan.
13 Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit.
Kumaa idinku dhex jira oo xigmad iyo waxgarasho leh? Shuqulladiisa ha ku muujiyo dabiicaddiisa wanaagsan, isagoo leh qabowga xigmadda.
14 But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.
Haddaad xaasidnimo qadhaadh iyo iskala qaybqaybin ku haysataan qalbigiinna, ha faanina, runtana been ha ka sheegina.
15 That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits.
Xigmaddaasu ma aha tan kor ka soo degta, laakiin waa tan dhulka iyo nafta iyo jinniyada.
16 For where envy and rivalry are, there also are unrest and every vile deed.
Waayo, meeshii xaasidnimo iyo iskala qaybqaybinu ku jiraan, meeshaas waxaa ku jira iskuqasnaan iyo falniin kasta oo shar leh.
17 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.
Laakiin xigmaddii kor ka timaadaa horta waa daahir, dabadeedna waa nabad iyo qabow iyo mid si dhib yar loola heshiiyo, oo waxaa ka buuxa naxariis iyo midho wanaagsan, mana leh u-kala-eexasho ama labaweji.
18 And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed of which the harvest is righteousness.
Midhaha xaqnimada nabad waa loogu beeraa kuwa nabadda ka shaqeeya.
