Yaƙub 3
1 Kada yawancinku su so ɗaukan kansu a matsayin malamai,’yan’uwana, domin kun san cewa mu da muke koyarwa za a yi mana shari’a mafi tsanani.
My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 Dukanmu mukan yi tuntuɓe a hanyoyi dabam-dabam. In wani bai taɓa yin kuskure a cikin maganarsa ba, shi cikakke ne, yana kuma iya ƙame dukan jikinsa.
For in many things we all offend. If any man offendeth not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Sa’ad da muka sa linzamai a bakunan dawakai don mu sa su yi mana biyayya, mukan iya bin da dabbar gaba ɗaya.
Behold, we put bits in the mouths of horses, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Ko kuwa misali, mu dubi jiragen ruwa, mana. Ko da yake suna da girma ƙwarai kuma iska mai ƙarfi ce take tura su, ana tuƙa su da ɗan ƙaramin sandan ƙarfe ne zuwa duk inda mai tuƙin jirgin yake so.
Behold also the ships, which though they are so great, and [are] driven by fierce winds, yet they are turned about with a very small helm, withersoever the governor willeth.
5 Haka ma harshe yake, ga shi ɗan ƙanƙanin gaɓar jiki ne, amma sai manyan fariya. Ku dubi yadda ɗan ƙaramin ƙyastu yake ƙuna wa babban jeji wuta mana.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 Harshe ma wuta ne! A cikin duk gaɓoɓinmu, harshe shi ne tushen kowace irin mugunta, mai ɓata mutum gaba ɗaya, mai zuga zuciyar mutum ta tafasa, shi kuwa jahannama ce take zuga shi. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Kowace irin dabba, tsuntsu, masu ja da ciki da kuma halittun da suke cikin teku an sarrafa su kuma mutum ne ya sarrafa,
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of animals in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:
8 amma ba mutumin da zai iya ya sarrafa harshe. Mugu ne marar hutu, cike da dafi mai kisa.
But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Da harshe mukan yabi Ubangijinmu da kuma Ubanmu, da shi kuma muke la’antar mutane, waɗanda aka halitta a kamannin Allah.
With this we bless God, even the Father; and with this we curse men, who are made after the similitude of God.
10 Daga wannan baki guda yabo da la’ana suke fitowa.’Yan’uwana, wannan bai kamata yă zama haka ba.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Ruwa mai kyau da kuma ruwan gishiri zai iya fito daga maɓulɓula ɗaya?
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?
12 ’Yan’uwana, itacen ɓaure yana iya haifar’ya’yan zaitun, ko kuma itacen inabi yă haifi’ya’yan ɓaure? Haka ma, maɓulɓular ruwan gishiri ba zai iya ba da ruwa mai kyau ba.
Can the fig-tree, my brethren, bear olive-berries? or a vine, figs? so no fountain [can] yield both salt water and fresh.
13 Wane ne mai hikima da fahimta a cikinku? Bari yă nuna ta ta wurin rayuwarsa mai kyau, ta wurin ayyukan da aka yi cikin tawali’un da suke fitowa daga hikima.
Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show by a good deportment his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 Amma in kuna cike da mugun kishi da kuma sonkai a cikin zukatanku, kada ku yi taƙama game da wannan, ko ku danne gaskiya.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 Irin wannan “hikima” ba daga sama ta sauko ba, ta duniya ce, ta rashin ruhaniya, ta Iblis kuma.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, demoniacal.
16 Gama inda akwai kishi da sonkai, a can za a tarar da hargitsi da kowane irin mugun aiki.
For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
17 Amma hikimar da ta zo daga sama da fari tana da tsabta gaba ɗaya; sa’an nan mai ƙaunar salama ce, mai sanin ya kamata, mai biyayya, cike da jinƙai da aiki mai kyau, marar nuna bambanci, sahihiya kuma.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 Masu salama da suke shuki cikin salama sukan girbe adalci.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by them that make peace.
