James 3
1 Mi britheren, nyle ye be maad many maistris, witynge that ye taken the more doom.
Bandeko na ngai, bozala ebele te ya koluka kozala balakisi, pamba te boyebi malamu ete, biso balakisi, tokosambisama makasi.
2 For alle we offenden in many thingis. If ony man offendith not in word, this is a perfit man; for also he may lede aboute al the bodi with a bridil.
Biso nyonso tobetaka mabaku na lolenge ebele. Moto oyo abetaka libaku te na maloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na ye azali moto ya kokoka mpe azali na makoki ya kobatela bomoto na ye nyonso.
3 For if we putten bridlis `in to horsis mouthis, for to consente to vs, and we leden aboute al the bodi of hem.
Soki totiaka ebende na monoko ya mpunda, ezali mpo ete etosa biso; mpe na nzela wana, tokambaka nzoto na yango nyonso.
4 And lo! schippis, whanne thei ben grete, and ben dryuun of stronge wyndis, yit thei ben borun about of a litil gouernaile, where the meuyng of the gouernour wole.
Tala masuwa: atako ezali monene mpe mopepe makasi etindikaka yango, kasi mwa yenda moke nde ekambaka yango mpo ete elanda nzela oyo kapitene ya masuwa alingi komema yango.
5 So also the tunge is but a litil membre, and reisith grete thingis. Lo! hou litil fier brenneth a ful greet wode.
Ezali mpe ndenge moko mpo na lolemo: ezali eteni moko ya moke kati na nzoto ya moto, kasi ekoki komikumisa na makambo minene penza. Tala, mwa moto moke ezikisaka zamba monene!
6 And oure tunge is fier, the vniuersite of wickidnesse. The tunge is ordeyned in oure membris, which defoulith al the bodi; and it is enflawmed of helle, and enflawmeth the wheel of oure birthe. (Geenna g1067)
Lolemo mpe ezali moto; kati na biteni ya nzoto na biso, lolemo ezali mokili ya makambo mabe, ebebisaka nzoto mobimba. Soki ezwi moto ya lifelo, ezikisaka bomoi na biso mobimba. (Geenna g1067)
7 And al the kynde of beestis, and of foulis, and of serpentis, and of othere is chastisid, and tho ben maad tame of mannus kinde; but no man mai chastise the tunge,
Moto azali na makoki ya kokonza lolenge nyonso ya banyama, bandeke, banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bambisi, mpe akonza yango penza.
8 for it is an vnpesible yuel, and ful of deedli venym.
Kasi mpo na lolemo, moko te akoki kokonza yango: ezali penza mabe, elembaka te mpe etonda na ngenge oyo ebomaka.
9 In it we blessen God, the fadir, and in it we cursen men, that ben maad to the licnesse of God.
Kaka na lolemo yango, topambolaka Nkolo, Tata na biso, mpe tolakelaka mabe bato oyo Nzambe akela na elilingi na Ye.
10 Of the same mouth passith forth blessing and cursing. My britheren, it bihoueth not that these thingis be don so.
Ezala lipamboli to elakeli mabe, nyonso ebimaka kaka na monoko moko. Bandeko na ngai, esengelaki te kozala bongo.
11 Whether a welle of the same hoole bringith forth swete and salt watir?
Boni, etima moko ekoki kobimisa mayi ya peto mpe mayi ya mbindo?
12 My britheren, whether a fige tre may make grapis, ethir a vyne figus? So nethir salt watir mai make swete watir.
Bandeko na ngai, nzete ya figi ekoki solo kobota bambuma ya olive? Nzete ya vino ekoki solo kobota bambuma ya figi? Boni, ekoki kosalema ete etima ya mayi ya mungwa ebimisa mayi ya malamu?
13 Who is wijs, and tauyt among you? schewe he of good lyuyng his worching, in myldenesse of his wisdom.
Nani kati na bino azali moto ya bwanya mpe ya mayele? Tika ete ezaleli malamu na ye emonisa misala na yango kati na komikitisa mpe na bwanya.
14 That if ye han bitter enuye, and stryuyngis ben in youre hertis, nyle ye haue glorye, and be lyeris ayens the treuthe.
Kasi soki mitema na bino etondi na zuwa ya bololo mpe na molimo ya koswana, wana botika komikumisa ete bozali bato ya bwanya; pamba te yango ezali solo te, ezali lokuta.
15 For this wisdom is not fro aboue comynge doun, but ertheli, and beestli, and feendli.
Bwanya ya ndenge wana ewutaka na Likolo te, kasi ezali ya mokili, ya bomoto, ya Satana.
16 For where is enuye and strijf, there is vnstidfastnesse and al schrewid werk.
Pamba te esika oyo zuwa mpe koswana ezali, esika wana mpe mobulu ya lolenge nyonso mpe misala mabe ezalaka.
17 But wisdom that is from aboue, first it is chast, aftirward pesible, mylde, able to be counseilid, consentinge to goode thingis, ful of merci and of goode fruytis, demynge with out feynyng.
Kasi bwanya oyo ewutaka epai ya Nzambe ezalaka nanu ya peto; bongo, ememaka kimia, boboto, boyokani, koyokela bato mawa; ebotaka bambuma ya malamu, eponaka bilongi te mpe ezalaka na lokuta te.
18 And the fruyt of riytwisnesse is sowun in pees, to men that maken pees.
Bato oyo bayeisaka kimia balonaka kati kimia mpe babukaka mbuma ya bosembo.
