Yaqobeppe 3
1 Ta ishato intefe daroti astamarista gidopeto, gaasoykka nu astamare gididayti aadhetha pirda ekanaysa inte ereista.
Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2 Nu wurikka daro miishan dhuphetoos. Hasa7an dhuphetontadey dikko izi ba asateth loo7athi naganaas danda7iza kumetha asakko.
For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle his entire body as well.
3 Nuni parazota azazanaas bixxala barsidi nu koyda mala istta azazoos.
Behold, we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they will obey us, and we guide their entire bodies.
4 Woykko ane markabista xeelite. Ay gitatanne carikon lagetizayta gidikokka marikabe lagiizadey qeeri laafa laagiza misheyira ba koyizaso efees.
Or take ships for example, though they are so large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the helmsman directs.
5 Hessathokka asatetha garisan inxxarisi guuthu gida utada giita wollqama oothoro oothoristaysu, qeeri tamay gita wora wostti xuuggi dhaysiizakonne ane yuushi qoppiite.
In the same way, the tongue is a small member, yet it makes great boasts. Consider how great a forest a little fire kindles.
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 tongue is placed among our members as a world of unrighteousness, staining the entire body, setting the course of life on fire, and itself being 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.
Every species of beast, bird, reptile, and sea creature can be tamed and has been tamed by man,
8 Gido attin inxxars haranaas danda7ida uray oonikka dena. Wodhiiza maridzdzey izin kumidaronne iza shemppa ekontta iitta mishshikko.
but no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Nuni nu inxxarasayra Godanne Aawa anjjoos. Izinkka Xoossa lemison medhetida asa nayta zaaridi qangoos.
With it we bless God our Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness.
10 Anjjoynne qangethi issi duunara keezes. Ta ishato hessi hessaththo hananaas bessena.
Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
11 Issi pullto ollafe mal7o haththinne camo haththi pullti erizee?
Does a spring pour out fresh water and bitter water from the same opening?
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 brothers, produce olives, or a grapevine figs? In the same way, no spring can produce both salt water and fresh water.
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? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done with the gentleness that comes from wisdom.
14 Qasse camonne qaanatey intena xalala dosiza hanoy inte wozinan diza giikko ootoroteth intes siyetofo. Tumaka kadopiite.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast or deny the truth.
15 Hiini mala eratethiya salloppe gidiku. Hina qasse biittafe; ashopene xala7eppekko.
This is not the wisdom that comes down from above; rather, it is earthly, unspiritual, and demonic.
16 qanateyinne berika bena siqqoy dizason wasoynne iitta oothoy wuri dees.
For where there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.
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 from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and unhypocritical.
18 Saroteth dosiza asati sarotethan zeridi xillotetha ayfe maxeettes.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
