Yaƙub 3
1 Ba mutane dayawa za su zama masu koyarwa ba, 'yan'uwana. Mun san cewa za mu karbi hukunci mafi tsanani.
Do not be eager, my brethren, for many among you to become teachers; for you know that we teachers shall undergo severer judgement.
2 Domin mukan yi tuntube ta hanyoyi dayawa. Duk wanda bai yi tuntube ta hanyar kalmomi ba, shi mutum ne ginanne sosai, wanda ke iya kame dukan jikinsa.
For we often stumble and fall, all of us. If there is any one who never stumbles in speech, that man has reached maturity of character and is able to curb his whole nature.
3 Idan muka sa linzami a bakunan dawakai, domin su yi mana biyayya, za mu iya sarrafa jikunan su gaba daya.
Remember that we put the horses' bit into their mouths to make them obey us, and so we turn their whole bodies round.
4 Ku lura kuma da jiragen ruwa, ko da yake suna da girma sosai kuma iska mai karfi tana kora su, da karamin karfe ne matukin yake juya su inda ya so.
So too with ships, great as they are, and often driven along by strong gales, yet they can be steered with a very small rudder in whichever direction the caprice of the man at the helm chooses.
5 Haka kuma harshe dan karamin gaba ne a jiki, sai fahariyan manyan abubuwa. Ku lura yadda dan karamin wuta yake cinna wa babban jeji wuta.
In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames.
6 Harshe ma wuta ne, a cikin dukan gabobin mu, duniyar zunubai da aka sa cikin fannonin jikunan mu. Yana gurbata dukan jiki, ya kuma sa al'amurar rayuwa su kama da wuta. Shi kuwa gidan wuta ne yake zuga shi. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue is a fire. That world of iniquity, the tongue, is placed within us spotting and soiling our whole nature, and setting the whole round of our lives on fire, being itself set on fire by Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
7 Domin kowace irin dabbar jeji, tsunsu, da masu jan ciki, da hallittar teku, ana sarrafa su kuma dan Adam har ya sarrafa su ma.
For brute nature under all its forms--beasts and birds, reptiles and fishes--can be subjected and kept in subjection by human nature.
8 Amma game da harshe, babu wani a cikin 'yan Adam da ya iya sarrafa shi. Mugunta ne mara hanuwa, cike da dafi mai kisa.
But the tongue no man or woman is able to tame. It is an ever-busy mischief, and is full of deadly poison.
9 Da wannan harshe muke yabon Ubangiji da kuma Uba, da shi kuma muke la'antar mutane wandanda aka hallitta cikin kamanin Allah.
With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in God's likeness.
10 Bakin da ake sa albarka, da shi kuma ake la'antarwa. 'Yan'uwana, ai, wannan bai kamata ba.
Out of the same mouth there proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be.
11 Mabulbulan ruwa ba zai iya bubbugowa da ruwan dadi da na zartsi tare ba, ko zai iya?
In a fountain, are fresh water and bitter sent forth from the same opening?
12 ''Yan'uwana, itacen baure ba zai iya yin zaitun ba, zai iya? Ko kuwa gonar inabi ya yi baure? Haka kuma, ruwan zartsi ba zai iya bayar da ruwan dadi ba.
Can a fig-tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine yield figs? No; and neither can salt water yield sweet.
13 Ina mai hikima da fahimta a cikin ku? Bari wannan mutumin, ta kyakkyawan zaman sa ya nuna aikin da halin tawali'u da hikima ke sawa.
Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit.
14 Amma in kuna da matsanancin kishi da kazamin buri a cikin zuciyar ku, kada ku yi fahariya da karya game da gaskiya.
But if in your hearts you have bitter feelings of envy and rivalry, do not speak boastfully and falsely, in defiance of the truth.
15 Wannan hikima ba irin wadda take saukowa daga sama ba ce, a maimakon haka, ta duniya ce, mara ruhaniya, ta aljanu.
That is not the wisdom which comes down from above: it belongs to earth, to the unspiritual nature, and to evil spirits.
16 Domin duk inda kishi da kazamin buri suke, a nan ake samun hargitsi da kowanne irin aikin mugunta.
For where envy and rivalry are, there also are unrest and every vile deed.
17 Amma hikiman nan ta sama, da farko dai tsattsarka ce, mai lumana ce, kamila ce, mai saukin kai, mai tsananin jinkai, mai yawan alheri, mara gajiya, sahihiya kuma.
The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.
18 Kuma 'ya'yan adalci wanda ake shukawa a cikin salama a tsakanin wadanda ke kulla zumunci.
And peace, for those who strive for peace, is the seed of which the harvest is righteousness.
