Yakobo 3
1 Bhalongo bhangu sio bhingi bhinu mwilondeka kujha bhalimu, mmanyili kujha, mwipokela hukumu mbaha nesu.
My brothers, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 Kwa kujha twebhoha twikosela mu njela simehele. Kama jhejhioha ijha ikhobhalalepi mu malobhi gha muene, Ojhu ndo munu mkamilifu, ibhuesya kudhibiti mb'ele bhwa muene bhuohakabhele.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Henu kama twibhweka lijamu sya farasi mu mikoromelu ghya bhene bhikatutii na twibhwesya kusanusa mibhele ghya bhene bhoha.
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Manyayi kujha Meli, ingawa mbaha na jhisukumibhwa ni mp'ongo n'kali syasilongosibhwa kwa usukani n'debe nesu kulota popoha pala kwailonda nahodha.
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, wherever the governor wants.
5 Fefuefu lunulu ndo kiungo kidebe kya mbhele lakini ikwitufya mabahaha nesu. Langayai n'setu mbaha kyaghwibhuesya kujhakisibhwa kwa cheche sidebe sya muoto!
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
6 Lumilu ni luene ndo muoto ndo ulimwengu bhwa bhuovu, bhekibhu miongoni mu fiungo fya mbhele bhuoha na ukajhibheka panani pa muoto njela jha maisha ni bhene kumanyibhwa muoto bhwa kuzimu. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Khila aina jha mnyama bhwa mudasi fidege, kyakiboya ni kiumbe kya mubahari kidhibitibhwa ni bhenadamu.
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
8 Lakini ajhelepi mwanadamu hata mmonga ambajhe ibhwesya kudhibiti lunulu; ndo bhuovu bhwabhubelili kutulila, umemili sumu jha kufisha.
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Kwa lunulu tukan'tukusya Bwana ni bhanu ambabho bhabho mbhibhu kwa mfano bhwa Bwana ni Dadi jhitu, ni kwa obhu tukabhalaani bhanu ambabho bhabhombibhu kwa mfano bhwa K'yara.
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Mu n'koromelu bhobhuobhu ghwijobha malobhi gha baraka ni laana. Bhalongo bhangu mambo agha ghilondekalepi kujha.
Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not so to be.
11 Je kisima kimonga wihotola kunegha masi ghaghinogha ni maghibela kunogha?
Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Bhalongo bhangu, je libehe lya mtini libhuesya kuhogola matunda gha mzeituni, au mzabibu wihogola matunda gha mtini? Bhwala chemichemi jha masi gha muinyu ghipisyalepi masi ghaghabelikujha ni muinyu.
Can the fig tree, my brothers, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Niani kati jha muenga ajhe ni hekima ni bhufahamu? Hebu munu ojhu alasiajhi maisha manofu mu mbombo sya muene kwa bhunyenyekevu bhwabhwitokelana ni hekima.
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 Lakini kama mujhe ni bhuifu n'kali ni nia jha ubinafsi mu mioyo ghya muenga, musikifuni ni kujobha udesi ni kup'enga bhukweli.
But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 Ejhe hekimalepi jhela jhajhselela kuhoma kunani, lakini badala jhake ndo jha kidunia, na jha kiroholepi, na jha kipepo.
This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 Kwa kujha papajhele ni bhuifu ni bhubinafsi bhujhele, kujhe ni fuju ni khila matendo maovu.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 Lakini hekima jha ihomela kunani, kwanza jhinofu, kisha jhigana amani, bhololo ni bhukarimu, jhajhimemili rehema ni matunda manofu, bila kupendelela bhanu fulani ni bhukweli.
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 Ni litunda lya haki lipandibhwa mu amani kwa bhala ambabho bhibho mambo gha amani.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
