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.
Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgement.
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 we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 Sa’ad da muka sa linzamai a bakunan dawakai don mu sa su yi mana biyayya, mukan iya bin da dabbar gaba ɗaya.
Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide 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, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
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.
So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
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. The world of iniquity amongst our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (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 animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
8 amma ba mutumin da zai iya ya sarrafa harshe. Mugu ne marar hutu, cike da dafi mai kisa.
but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless 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 it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image 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 comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Ruwa mai kyau da kuma ruwan gishiri zai iya fito daga maɓulɓula ɗaya?
Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
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 a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
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 wise and understanding amongst you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness 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 you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
15 Irin wannan “hikima” ba daga sama ta sauko ba, ta duniya ce, ta rashin ruhaniya, ta Iblis kuma.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 Gama inda akwai kishi da sonkai, a can za a tarar da hargitsi da kowane irin mugun aiki.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
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 peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 Masu salama da suke shuki cikin salama sukan girbe adalci.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
