James 3
1 Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,
Malongo bango, baingi kwaa nkati yinu bapaswa kuwa balimu, mtange panga twalowa pokya hukumu ngolo muno.
2 for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;
Kwa mana boti twalowa kosea mu'ndela ganansima. Kati yoyoti ywabile kwaa ywaajikwaa mu'maneno gake, aywoo nga mundu mkamilifu, aweza kudhibiti yega yake yoti pia.
3 lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;
Nambeambe kati twatibela lijamu za farasi mu'mikanwa yabe kabatuheshimu, ni twaweza kuigalambuwa yabe yoti.
4 lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,
Utange panga kuwa ngalaba, ingawa yabile ngolo lakini isukumilwa kwa usukani nsunu muno yendya popoti apapala nahodha.
5 so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
Nga nyo nyo, lulimi nga kiungo kisunu sa yega, lakini kwilumba makolo muno. Linga mwitu nkolo walowa yakilwa kwa cheche njene ya mwoto!
6 and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Lulimi pia nga mwoto, nga nnema wa ubou, ubekilwe nkati ya iungo ya yega witu, yabile najisi yega yote ni kulibeka nnani ya mwoto ndela ya maisha, ni mwene sonywa mwoto wa kuzima. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,
Kila aina ya mnyama ywa mwitu, kiyuni, chakikwaba ni kuimbe sa mubahari kisibitiwa ni bandu.
8 and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,
Lakini ntopo mundu hata yumo ywaweza dhibiti lulimi, ni ubou wotulia kwaa, utweli sumu ya kubulaga.
9 with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God;
Kwa lulimi twatikumtukuza Ngwana ni Tate bitu, nga kwa wowolo twalowa laani bandu babile baumbwile kwa mpwano wa Nnongo.
10 out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;
Mu'nkanwa chechelo ubaya maneno ga baraka ni laana. Alongo bango makowe aga ganike kwaa pangika.
11 doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
Je, lose limo lyaweza piya mase gananoga na ganababa?
12 is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water [is able] to make.
Alongo bango, Je nkongo wa tini waweza pambika matunda ga mzeituni, au mzabibu waweza pambika matunda ga mtini? wala kinywanyu ya mase ga mwinyo gapiya mase gangali mwinyo.
13 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
Ni nyai nkati yinu ywabile ni hekima ni malango? Mundu yoo ni alaye maisha ganoite mu'kazi yake kwa nyenyekeya uboka ni hekima.
14 and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
Lakini kati mwabile wivu nkale ni nia ya ubinafsi mumyoyo yinu, kana muipune no baya ubocho nokuukana ukweli.
15 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
Ayee hekima kwaa yelo yaiuluke kuoma kunani, lakini badala yake ni ya mudunia, ya roho kwaa, nga ni ya nchela.
16 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;
kwa mana pandu pabile ni wivu ni ubinafsi ubile, kubile ni vurugu ni kila likowe bou.
17 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: —
Lakini hekima yaiboka kunani, kwanza ibile sapi, boka po yatipenda amani, upole ni ukarimu, yabile twilya rehema ni matunda ganoite, bila pendeleya bandu pulani, ni kweli.
18 and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
Na tunda lya haki upandilwa muu'amani kwa balo ambabo babapanga makowe ga amani.
