Jakobe 3
1 Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, se gakaleleleng go bolelela ba bangwe diphoso tsa bone, gonne rotlhe re dira diphoso; mme fa rona baruti, ba re tshwanetseng go itse botoka, re dira diphoso, go otlhaiwa ga rona go tlaa nna gogolo go na le ga ba bangwe.
Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα.
2 Fa motho le fa e le mang a ka kgona go laola loleme lwa gagwe, go supa gore o na le thata ya go ikgapa ka ditsela tsotlhe.
πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες. εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.
3 Re ka dira gore pitse e tona e retologele kwa re batlang e ya teng ka tomonyana e e mo molomong wa yone.
εἰ δὲ τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν.
4 Le lomatsanyana (seterebonyana) lo dira gore sekepe se se tona se retologele gongwe le gongwe kwa mokgweetsi a batlang se ya teng, le fa diphefo di tsubutla.
ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα, τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνέμων σκληρῶν ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὅπου ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούλεται·
5 Fela jalo loleme le lone ke selo se sennyennyane, mme lo ka dira tshenyo e kgolo thata. Sekgwa se se tona se ka tshujwa ke tlhasenyana.
οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ μεγάλα αὐχεῖ. ἰδοὺ ἡλίκον πῦρ ἡλίκην ὕλην ἀνάπτει·
6 Mme loleme ke kgabo ya molelo. Lo tletse tshiamololo ebile lo leswafatsa tokololo nngwe le nngwe ya mmele. Mme loleme lo tlhosediwa ke molete ka sebele, jalo lo ka fetolela matshelo a rona otlhe mo kgabong e e lakaselang ya tshenyo e kgolo. (Geenna g1067)
ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ, ὁ κόσμος τῆς ἀδικίας, ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν, ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὅλον τὸ σῶμα καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης. (Geenna g1067)
7 Batho ba katisitse, kgotsa ba ka katisa, mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa phologolo kgotsa nonyane e e tshelang le mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa segagabi le ditlhapi,
πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ·
8 mme ga go na ope yo o ka katisang loleme. Ka malatsi otlhe lo ipaakanyeditse go tsholola botlhole jwa lone jo bo bolayang.
τὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς δύναται ἀνθρώπων δαμάσαι· ἀκατάστατον κακόν, μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου.
9 Nako e nngwe lo galaletse Rara wa rona wa legodimo, mme ka nako e nngwe lo hutsa batho ba ba bopilweng mo setshwanong sa Modimo.
ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν κύριον καὶ πατέρα, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθ’ ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας·
10 Fela jalo, tshegofatso le phutso di tuntologa mo go one molomo. Bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, tota se ga se a siama.
ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα. οὐ χρή, ἀδελφοί μου, ταῦτα οὕτως γίνεσθαι.
11 A motswedi wa metse o tlo o pumpunyege metse a a siameng lwa ntlha mme e re morago o tswe metse a a botlhoko?
μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν;
12 A o ka hula lotlhware mo setlhareng sa mofeige, kgotsa difeige mo setlharing sa mofine? Nnyaa, gape ga o kake wa ga metse a a monate mo sedibeng se se letswai.
μὴ δύναται, ἀδελφοί μου, συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἄμπελος σῦκα; οὔτε ἁλυκὸν γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὕδωρ.
13 Fa o le botlhale, tshela botshelo jo bo molemo jo bo tlhomameng gore ditiro tse di molemo di tle di tote, mme fa o sa ikgantshe ka tsone, o tlaa nna botlhale ka boammaaruri!
Τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν; δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας.
14 Mme kaga dilo tsotlhe, o seka wa ikgantsha kaga go nna botlhale le go nna molemo fa o le bogalaka le lefufa ebile o ipona botoka; seo ke maaka a a maswe thata.
εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε τῆς ἀληθείας καὶ ψεύδεσθε.
15 Gonne lefufa le go ipona botoka ga se botlhale jo bo tswang kwa Modimong. Dilo tse di ntseng jaana ke tsa lefatshe ga se tsa semowa, di tlhotlhelediwa ke Satane.
οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν κατερχομένη, ἀλλὰ ἐπίγειος, ψυχική, δαιμονιώδης·
16 Gonne kwa go nang le lefufa teng kgotsa keletso ya go ipona botoka, go tlaa nna tobekano le mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa bosula.
ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία, ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα.
17 Mme botlhale jo bo tswang kwa legodimong, bo simologa bo le phepa ebile bo le bonolo. Jalo bo rata kagiso le boikobo. Bo letlelela dipuisano ebile bo rata go ineela mo go ba bangwe; bo tletse kutlwelo-botlhoko le ditiro tse di molemo. Bo itekanetse, bo tlhamaletse ebile bo a ikanyega.
ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν, ἔπειτα εἰρηνική, ἐπιεικής, εὐπειθής, μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν, ἀδιάκριτος, ἀνυπόκριτος·
18 Mme ba e leng badira kagiso ba tlaa jala dipeo tsa kagiso ba bo ba roba thobo ya bomolemo.
καρπὸς δὲ δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην.
