Ιακωβου 3
1 Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρῖμα λημψόμεθα.

2 πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες· εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.
Twenga twawoseri tulikwala muvitwatira vivuwa. Handa muntu yoseri kakosa ndiri nakamu muvisoweru vyakalonga, yomberi ndo muntu mkamilika na kaweza kuyilongoziya nshimba yakuwi yoseri.
3 εἰ δὲ τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στό ματα βάλλομεν εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν.
Twenga tumtulira falasi mumlomu mwakuwi ngoyi zya kumlonguziya su katujimiri, na kwa njira ayi tuweza kumlonguziya kwoseri kwatufira.
4 ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα, τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνέμων σκληρῶν ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου, ὅπου ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούλεται.

5 οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστίν, καὶ μεγάλα αὐχεῖ. ἰδοὺ ἡλίκον πῦρ ἡλίκην ὕλην ἀνάπτει·
Ntambu iraa ayi, lulimi tembera luwera shiwungiru shididini sha nshimba, lulitumbira makulu nentu. Motu mdidini guweza kulunguziya lidowi likulu.
6 καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ, ὁ κόσμος τῆς ἀδικίας. ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὅλον τὸ σῶμα, καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως, καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης· (Geenna g1067)
Na lulimi lulifana na motu. Lulimi luwera shipandi shimu sha makondola ga ntambu yoseri pakati pa viwungiru vya nshimba. Iumemiziya nshimba yoseri na luyaka motu yagulawa mumotu gwa Jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
7 πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν, ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων, δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ·
Muntu kaweza kufuga na kafuga kala viwumbi vya ntambu zoseri, wankanyama wa lidowi na wampongu na wanjoka na viwumbi vya kubahali.
8 τὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς δαμάσαι δύναται ἀνθρώπων· ἀκατάστατον κακόν, μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου.
Kumbiti kwahera muntu yakaweza kulukolamlima lulimi lyalulifana na nkanyama. Lulimi luwera shintu shidoda, hapeni gulukolimlima na lumema usungu wawulaga.
9 ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν κύριον καὶ πατέρα, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθ᾽ ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας·
Kwa lulimi twenga tulonga mayagashii kwa Mtuwa na Tati gwetu. Kwa lulimi lulaa alu twawapangira wantu, wantu yawaumbwa kwa ntambu ya Mlungu.
10 ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα. οὐ χρή, ἀδελφοί μου, ταῦτα οὕτως γίνεσθαι.
Visoweru vya kupetera mashi na vya kulapira vilawa mumlomu gumu. Walongu wangu vitwatira avi vifiruwa ndiri kuwera hangu.
11 μή τι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν;

12 μὴ δύναται, ἀδελφοί μου, συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἄμπελος σῦκα; οὔτε ἁλυκὸν γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὕδωρ.
Walongu wangu, mtera gwa mkuyu guweza kulera embi? Ama, mwembi guweza kulera kuyu? Ndala, mbwiru ya mashi ga munu gaweza ndiri kulaviya mashi ganoga.
13 Τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν; δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας.

14 εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας.
Kumbiti payiwera myoyu yenu imema weya wawuhanganyika na utama na shuki na kulifira mweni, su namulizyuma na kugalambula unakaka kuwera upayira.
15 οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν κατερχομένη, ἀλλὰ ἐπίγειος ψυχικὴ δαιμονιώδης.
Mahala ga tambu ayi galawa ndiri kumpindi, mahala aga ndo ga pasipanu, na ga shinshimba, kayi ndo ga shishetani.
16 ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία, ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα.
Toziya poseri papawera na weya na kulifira mweni, panu pawera na ndewu na kila ntambu zya ukondola.
17 ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν, ἔπειτα εἰρηνικὴ ἐπιεικὴς εὐπειθής, μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν, ἀδιάκριτος, ἀνυπόκριτος.
