< James 3 >

1 Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,
Toronoo nggare! Atahori hetar rae ranori atahori mamahereꞌ ra. Naa malole! Te misinedꞌa, dei fo Lamatualain paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ atahori mana ranori atahori mamahereꞌ ra. De nda sudꞌiꞌ a se bole nanori sa.
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;
Basa nggita olaꞌ sala mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te atahori mana naꞌatataaꞌ nala bafa-maan, fo nda seredꞌedꞌedꞌe sa, ana nauli nahine basa masodꞌan.
3 lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;
Conto onaꞌ ndara. Hita bisa lea ndara monaeꞌ suet na fo talalao e tungga hita hihiin.
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,
Conto esa fai, ofai a. Anin monaeꞌ fuu naꞌamiminaꞌ ofai a tungga hihiin. Te uli anaꞌ o bisa tao ofai a dꞌalan tungga mana toꞌu uli a hihiin.
5 so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!
Hita bꞌafan o onaꞌ naa boe. Bafaꞌ a anadikiꞌ te tataon seli tebꞌe! Naa onaꞌ ai mbilaꞌ mbei lalangge nabasaꞌ lasi.
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)
Bafaꞌ o, onaꞌ ai mbilaꞌ boe. Hita bisa pake bafa tara fo talutu dalaꞌ naeꞌ. Bafa tara bisa tao nalutu masodꞌa tara. Deꞌulakaꞌ hetar sia raefafoꞌ ia, kalua mia atahori bafan. Nitu ra malangga monaen o pake atahori bafan fo nalalao eni ue-tataon. (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,
Atahori ramamau rita banda fui mata-mataꞌ, banda mananodoꞌ, mbuiꞌ ma uꞌu sia tasi.
8 and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,
Te nda feꞌe hambu atahori esa namamau nala bafan sa. Te bafaꞌ a, bꞌua deꞌulakaꞌ susa neneneuliꞌ. Onaꞌ raso mana masoꞌ nisi ao-sisiꞌ fo tao nisa atahori.
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;
No bafaꞌ esa, atahori koa-kio ma rarai-oole. Naa nda nandaa sa! Hita pake bafa tara fo koa-kio Amaꞌ Lamatualain. Ma no bafaꞌ naa boe, hita rarai-oole atahori, fo Lamatuaꞌ naꞌadadꞌiꞌ tungga mata-aon. Saa de taꞌo naa?
10 out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;
11 doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?
Onaꞌ oemataꞌ sa, nda bisa nandali oe minaꞌ no oe masiꞌ lao esaꞌ sa.
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.
Esa fai, ndaꞌe huuꞌ a nda bisa nabꞌoa dafalandu sa. Ma mbelaꞌ nda nabꞌoa bꞌoa anggor sa, to? Te hau a nabꞌoa tungga mata-aon. Onaꞌ hita nda bisa ndui oe minaꞌ mia lifu oe masiꞌ sa.
13 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
Atahori dudꞌuꞌa malole ma nahine dalaꞌ tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihiin, nda bꞌole koa-bꞌoꞌu aon sa. Te ana bubꞌuluꞌ mahineꞌ naa mia Lamatuaꞌ. Hela fo natudꞌu mahinen, nendiꞌ masodꞌa ndoos na.
14 and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;
Mete ma ralam mera fo akaꞌ, muꞌututudꞌaꞌ atahori ra, na, Afiꞌ oro-ara mae, ho atahori dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ. Naa onaꞌ ho mana peko-lelekoꞌ. Te nesodꞌa taꞌo naa, naa nda naran ‘dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ’ sa. Naa, nda onda mia Lamatualain sa, te laoꞌ mia raefafoꞌ. Naa, nandaa neu atahori mana nda fee masodꞌa nara neu Lamatuaꞌ sa. Naa tungga nitu ra dꞌalan.
15 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
16 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;
Te mete ma hambu rala meraꞌ ma netofa-nehuuꞌ, na, hambu nemue-anggiꞌ, ma atahori tao deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ.
17 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: —
Te dudꞌuꞌa maloleꞌ mana onda mia Lamatuaꞌ naa, taꞌo ia: Fefeun ana tao nggita tasodꞌa meumareꞌ. Basa ma hita nda hii netofa sa, hita hii taloe ao tara, taꞌatataaꞌ ma neneeꞌ a. Nenendin tao rala tara malole, hii tulu-fali atahori, nda to heheliꞌ a esa sa, ma nda dea-mata to atahori laen ra sa.
18 and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
Ma atahori mana natudꞌu dꞌala dꞌame nenendin maloleꞌ boe. Naa onaꞌ atahori sela fini, de dodꞌoo ma hambu mbule-bꞌoa maloleꞌ.
