1 he mama bhraatara. h, "sik. sakairasmaabhi rgurutarada. n.do lapsyata iti j naatvaa yuuyam aneke "sik. sakaa maa bhavata|
Be ye not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive the greater judgment.
2 yata. h sarvve vaya. m bahuvi. saye. su skhalaama. h, ya. h ka"scid vaakye na skhalati sa siddhapuru. sa. h k. rtsna. m va"siikarttu. m samartha"scaasti|
For we all fail in many things; if any one fails not in word, the same is a perfect man, able even to bridle the whole body.
3 pa"syata vayam a"svaan va"siikarttu. m te. saa. m vaktre. su khaliinaan nidhaaya te. saa. m k. rtsna. m "sariiram anuvarttayaama. h|
But if we put bridles into the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us; and we manage their whole body;
4 pa"syata ye potaa atiiva b. rhadaakaaraa. h praca. n.davaatai"sca caalitaaste. api kar. nadhaarasya mano. abhimataad atik. sudre. na kar. nena vaa nchita. m sthaana. m pratyanuvarttante|
behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers;
5 tadvad rasanaapi k. sudrataraa"nga. m santii darpavaakyaani bhaa. sate| pa"sya kiid. r"nmahaara. nya. m dahyate. alpena vahninaa|
so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles!
6 rasanaapi bhaved vahniradharmmaruupapi. s.tape| asmada"nge. su rasanaa taad. r"sa. m santi. s.thati saa k. rtsna. m deha. m kala"nkayati s. r.s. tirathasya cakra. m prajvalayati narakaanalena jvalati ca| (Geenna g1067)
The tongue, a fire, the world of iniquity: the tongue sits down in the midst of our members, and corrupting the whole body, and setting on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 pa"supak. syurogajalacaraa. naa. m sarvve. saa. m svabhaavo damayitu. m "sakyate maanu. sikasvabhaavena damayaa ncakre ca|
For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature:
8 kintu maanavaanaa. m kenaapi jihvaa damayitu. m na "sakyate saa na nivaaryyam ani. s.ta. m halaahalavi. se. na puur. naa ca|
but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; an incorrigible evil, full of deadly poison.
9 tayaa vaya. m pitaram ii"svara. m dhanya. m vadaama. h, tayaa ce"svarasya saad. r"sye s. r.s. taan maanavaan "sapaama. h|
With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God:
10 ekasmaad vadanaad dhanyavaada"saapau nirgacchata. h| he mama bhraatara. h, etaad. r"sa. m na karttavya. m|
out of the same mouth come forth blessing and scolding. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 prasrava. na. h kim ekasmaat chidraat mi. s.ta. m tikta nca toya. m nirgamayati?
Whether does the fountain out of the same chink send forth sweet water and bitter?
12 he mama bhraatara. h, u. dumbarataru. h ki. m jitaphalaani draak. saalataa vaa kim u. dumbaraphalaani phalitu. m "saknoti? tadvad eka. h prasrava. no lava. nami. s.te toye nirgamayitu. m na "saknoti|
My brethren, whether is the fig-tree able to produce olives, or the vine figs? Neither is the bitter fountain able to produce sweet water.
13 yu. smaaka. m madhye j naanii subodha"sca ka aaste? tasya karmmaa. ni j naanamuulakam. rdutaayuktaaniiti sadaacaaraat sa pramaa. nayatu|
Who is wise and instructed among you? Let him show forth out of beautiful conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.
14 kintu yu. smadanta. hkara. namadhye yadi tikter. syaa vivaadecchaa ca vidyate tarhi satyamatasya viruddha. m na "slaaghadhva. m nacaan. rta. m kathayata|
But if you have bitter envy and strife in your heart, do not boast, and lie against the truth.
15 taad. r"sa. m j naanam uurddhvaad aagata. m nahi kintu paarthiva. m "sariiri bhautika nca|
This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but it is earthly, intellectual, and demoniacal.
16 yato hetoriir. syaa vivaadecchaa ca yatra vedyete tatraiva kalaha. h sarvva. m du. sk. rta nca vidyate|
For where there are envy and strife, there are contention and every evil work.
17 kintuurddhvaad aagata. m yat j naana. m tat prathama. m "suci tata. h para. m "saanta. m k. saantam aa"susandheya. m dayaadisatphalai. h paripuur. nam asandigdha. m ni. skapa. ta nca bhavati|
But the wisdom which is from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily persuaded, full of mercy and of good works, free from partiality and hypocrisy.
18 "saantyaacaaribhi. h "saantyaa dharmmaphala. m ropyate|
But the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace to those who are making peace.
