Yaqobeppe 3
1 Ta ishato intefe daroti astamarista gidopeto, gaasoykka nu astamare gididayti aadhetha pirda ekanaysa inte ereista.
Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
2 Nu wurikka daro miishan dhuphetoos. Hasa7an dhuphetontadey dikko izi ba asateth loo7athi naganaas danda7iza kumetha asakko.
For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 Nuni parazota azazanaas bixxala barsidi nu koyda mala istta azazoos.
Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths, that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.
4 Woykko ane markabista xeelite. Ay gitatanne carikon lagetizayta gidikokka marikabe lagiizadey qeeri laafa laagiza misheyira ba koyizaso efees.
Behold, the ships also, though they are so great, and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.
5 Hessathokka asatetha garisan inxxarisi guuthu gida utada giita wollqama oothoro oothoristaysu, qeeri tamay gita wora wostti xuuggi dhaysiizakonne ane yuushi qoppiite.
So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
6 Inxxarasikka ba bagara tama malakko. Nu asatetha gidon diza iitta alamekko. Asatetha wursa tuniisaysunne asatetha bolla tama gujawusu, besiika gaaname taman xugistana. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Mehey do7ayka kafoti hayssathokka biita bolla gochetizaytinne abba gidon diza medhetethata wursi asi harana danda7esinne istikka haraettida.
For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:
8 Gido attin inxxars haranaas danda7ida uray oonikka dena. Wodhiiza maridzdzey izin kumidaronne iza shemppa ekontta iitta mishshikko.
but the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison.
9 Nuni nu inxxarasayra Godanne Aawa anjjoos. Izinkka Xoossa lemison medhetida asa nayta zaaridi qangoos.
Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the likeness of God:
10 Anjjoynne qangethi issi duunara keezes. Ta ishato hessi hessaththo hananaas bessena.
out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Issi pullto ollafe mal7o haththinne camo haththi pullti erizee?
Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter?
12 Ta ishato Balase geetettiza miiththi woyra ayfe woykko woyine miiththi Balase miiththa ayfe ayfanaas danda7ize? Hesathokka camiza hathefe mall7iza haththi bistana danda7ena.
Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet.
13 Inte garathafe akekara diza ciincca uray oone? cinccay diza gidiko ane ba ootho ashketethan cinccatethara ba loo7o dussan besso.
Who is wise and understanding among you? let him shew by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.
14 Qasse camonne qaanatey intena xalala dosiza hanoy inte wozinan diza giikko ootoroteth intes siyetofo. Tumaka kadopiite.
But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.
15 Hiini mala eratethiya salloppe gidiku. Hina qasse biittafe; ashopene xala7eppekko.
This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 qanateyinne berika bena siqqoy dizason wasoynne iitta oothoy wuri dees.
For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
17 Sallope gidida eratethiya gidikko koyro geshshikko, guyepekka saroteth dosizaro, danda7izaaro, ero gizaro, marotethinne loo7o ayfey kumidarokko. Qasse worodo madontaronne ulon geney bayndaro.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.
18 Saroteth dosiza asati sarotethan zeridi xillotetha ayfe maxeettes.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
