1 he mama bhraatara. h, "sik. sakairasmaabhi rgurutarada. n.do lapsyata iti j naatvaa yuuyam aneke "sik. sakaa maa bhavata|
My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we who are such shall pass a stricter trial than others: for in many things we all offend;
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|
and if any offend not in word, he is a compleat man, able to manage also 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|
Behold we put bridles into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body as we please.
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 which are of so great bulk, and even when they are driven by hard winds, yet are turned about by a very small helm which way soever the pilot pleaseth.
5 tadvad rasanaapi k. sudrataraa"nga. m santii darpavaakyaani bhaa. sate| pa"sya kiid. r"nmahaara. nya. m dahyate. alpena vahninaa|
So the tongue is a small part of the body, yet boasteth great things. Behold how much fuel a little fire kindleth!
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)
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our several parts, defiling the whole body, inflaming the course of nature, and is set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 pa"supak. syurogajalacaraa. naa. m sarvve. saa. m svabhaavo damayitu. m "sakyate maanu. sikasvabhaavena damayaa ncakre ca|
For every kind of wild beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and hath been tamed by mankind:
8 kintu maanavaanaa. m kenaapi jihvaa damayitu. m na "sakyate saa na nivaaryyam ani. s.ta. m halaahalavi. se. na puur. naa ca|
but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly 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 God even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness 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 proceedeth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not so to be.
11 prasrava. na. h kim ekasmaat chidraat mi. s.ta. m tikta nca toya. m nirgamayati?
Does a fountain from the same opening 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|
Can a fig-tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine figs? so can no fountain produce salt water and sweet.
13 yu. smaaka. m madhye j naanii subodha"sca ka aaste? tasya karmmaa. ni j naanamuulakam. rdutaayuktaaniiti sadaacaaraat sa pramaa. nayatu|
Is there any wise and understanding man among you? let him shew his works by a good conversation in the 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 ye have bitter envy and strife in your hearts, 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 cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and diabolical:
16 yato hetoriir. syaa vivaadecchaa ca yatra vedyete tatraiva kalaha. h sarvva. m du. sk. rta nca vidyate|
for where envying and strife is, there is confusion 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 that is from above first is pure, then peaceable, mild, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
18 "saantyaacaaribhi. h "saantyaa dharmmaphala. m ropyate|
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those that promote peace.
