James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Bhaakulupalilanga ajangunji, nnabhanganje bhaajiganya bhabhagwinji. Nnikumumanyanga kuti uwe tuli bhaajiganya ukumu jetu shijibhe jikulungwa kupunda bhananji.
2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
Pabha uwe tubhowe tunaakubhala nng'indu yaigwinji. Ibhaga apali mundu akaakubhala nkubheleketa, jwenejo atimilile na alikombola kwiilongoya.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
Nnolanje putukuntabha migoji ja kunnongoya palashi, nkupinga akunde putukuntendebhuya aloye kutupinga.
4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
Na nnolanje ntumbwi nkali ubhe gwankulungwa, ikabheje unatendebhuywa na ushukani nshokope, niloya kokowe kwaapinga nkulongoya, nkali jipuje mbungo jikulungwa.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
Nneyo peyo nkali lulimi shibhalo shishoko sha nshiilu, ikabheje lunakwiipuna kwa kaje. Nnolanje moto nshokope unakombola kutiniya nng'itu gwankulungwa.
6 And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Na lulimi ni mbuti moto. Lushigumbala ilebho munkumbi gwa ibhalo yowe ya shiilu, na yeneyo ni inyatiya shiilu showe. Lulimi lunakoleya moto gwangali mpelo gwa ku Jeanamu. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
Pabha mundu anakombola kulanga bhannyama bhowe, na ijuni na bhannnyama bhaatambalanga na yamaki.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Ikabheje jwakwa mundu akombola kululanga lulimi. Lulimi lwa ilebho lukaatondobha, lushigumbala ushungu gwa bhulaga.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
Kwa lulimi lwetu tunakwaainiya Bhakulungwa na Atati a Nnungu, na kwa lulimi pelo tunakwaaloshanga bhandunji, bhapengenywenje kwa landana na bhayene a Nnungu.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Lulimi pelo lunajujila mboka na lunalosha. Bhaakulupalila ajangunji yeneyo inalimbiywa.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Bhuli shinjweshwe shimo shinakombola kukopoya mashi ga ima na mashi ga lalama?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Bhaakulupalila ajangunji, bhuli nkongo gwa ntini unakombola kuogoya iyepo ya shaituni, eu nshabhibhu kuogoya tini? Bhai ni nneyo peyo shinjweshwe shimo nngakombola kukopoya mashi ga lalama na mashi ga ima.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Gani munkumbi gwenunji akwete lunda na lumanyio? Bhai alanguye liengo lyakwe kwa itendi ya mmbone nkwiitimalika kwa lunda.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
Ikabheje monaga mmitima jenunji igumbele ya ikidi na shojo, bhai nnailumbililanje akuno nnibheleketanga unami.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Lunda lwa nneyo lukaakoposhela kunnungu, ikabhe lwa shibhelekwe na lwa ikubho ya bhandunji na ya mashetani.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Pabha popowe pakwete ikidi na shojo ni pali na mipwilingano na kila itendi ya nyata.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Ikabheje lunda lukopoka kunani kunnungu, ni lwa mmbone numbe ni lwa ulele, na lwa kwiitimalika na lwa kwapilikanishiyanga bhandunji, ni lugumbele shiya na lulongoya bhandu ku itendi ya mmbone na ya uguja lwangali luagu na wala ugulumba.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Aki ni iyepo ya mmbeju ipandilwe kwa ulele na bhandu bhapinganga ulele.
