Yakobo 3
1 Ndugu zangu, msiwe walimu wengi, kwa maana mnafahamu kwamba sisi tufundishao tutahukumiwa vikali zaidi.
not much teacher to be brother me to know that/since: that great judgment to take
2 Sisi sote tunajikwaa katika mambo mengi. Ikiwa mtu yeyote hakosei kamwe katika yale anayosema, yeye ni mkamilifu, naye anaweza kuuzuia pia na mwili wake wote.
much for to stumble all if one in/on/among word no to stumble this/he/she/it perfect man able to bridle and all the/this/who body
3 Tunapotia lijamu kwenye vinywa vya farasi ili kuwafanya watutii, tunaweza kuigeuza miili yao yote.
(if *NO*) (then *N(K)(o)*) the/this/who horse the/this/who bridle toward the/this/who mouth to throw: put (toward *N(k)O*) the/this/who to persuade it/s/he me and all the/this/who body it/s/he to turn
4 Au angalia pia meli, ingawa ni kubwa sana, nazo huchukuliwa na upepo mkali, lakini hugeuzwa kwa usukani mdogo sana, kokote anakotaka nahodha.
look! and the/this/who boat so great to be and by/under: by wind hard to drive to turn by/under: by least rudder where(-ever) (if *k*) the/this/who impulse the/this/who to straighten (to plan *N(k)O*)
5 Vivyo hivyo ulimi ni kiungo kidogo sana katika mwili, lakini hujivuna majivuno makuu. Fikirini jinsi moto mdogo unavyoweza kuteketeza msitu mkubwa!
thus(-ly) and the/this/who tongue small member to be and great to boast look! (how great? *N(k)O*) fire how great? forest to set fire
6 Ulimi pia ni moto, ndio ulimwengu wa uovu kati ya viungo vya mwili. Ulimi huutia mwili wote wa mtu unajisi na kuuwasha moto mfumo mzima wa maisha yake, nao wenyewe huchomwa moto wa jehanamu. (Geenna g1067)
and the/this/who tongue fire the/this/who world the/this/who unrighteousness (thus(-ly) *k*) the/this/who tongue to appoint/conduct in/on/among the/this/who member me the/this/who to stain all the/this/who body and to kindle the/this/who course/wheel the/this/who origin and to kindle by/under: by the/this/who hell: Gehenna (Geenna g1067)
7 Kwa maana kila aina ya wanyama, ndege, wanyama watambaao na viumbe vya baharini vinafugika na vimefugwa na binadamu,
all for nature wild animal and/both and bird reptile and/both and marine to tame and to tame the/this/who nature the/this/who human
8 lakini hakuna mtu awezaye kuufuga ulimi. Ni uovu usiotulia, umejaa sumu iletayo mauti.
the/this/who then tongue none to tame be able a human (restless *N(k)O*) evil/harm: evil full poison/rust deadly
9 Kwa ulimi tunamhimidi Bwana, yaani Baba yetu, na kwa huo twawalaani watu walioumbwa kwa mfano wa Mungu.
in/on/among it/s/he to praise/bless the/this/who (lord: God *N(K)O*) and father and in/on/among it/s/he to curse the/this/who a human the/this/who according to likeness God to be
10 Katika kinywa kile kile hutoka baraka na laana. Ndugu zangu, haistahili kuwa hivyo.
out from the/this/who it/s/he mouth to go out praise and curse no to ought/need brother me this/he/she/it thus(-ly) to be
11 Je, chemchemi yaweza kutoa katika tundu moja maji matamu na maji ya chumvi?
surely not the/this/who flow out from the/this/who it/s/he hole to pour the/this/who sweet and the/this/who bitter
12 Je, ndugu zangu, mtini waweza kuzaa zeituni, au mzabibu kuzaa tini? Wala chemchemi ya maji ya chumvi haiwezi kutoa maji matamu.
not be able brother me fig tree olive tree to do/make: do or vine fig (thus(-ly) *k*) (neither *N(k)O*) (flow *K*) salty (and *k*) sweet to do/make: do water
13 Ni nani aliye na hekima na ufahamu miongoni mwenu? Basi na aionyeshe hiyo kwa maisha yake mema na kwa matendo yake yaliyotendwa kwa unyenyekevu utokanao na hekima.
which? wise and knowing in/on/among you to show out from the/this/who good behaviour the/this/who work it/s/he in/on/among gentleness wisdom
14 Lakini ikiwa mna wivu na ni wenye chuki na ugomvi mioyoni mwenu, msijisifu kwa ajili ya hayo wala msiikatae kweli.
if then zeal bitter to have/be and rivalry in/on/among the/this/who heart you not to boast and to lie according to the/this/who truth
15 Hekima ya namna hiyo haishuki kutoka mbinguni, bali ni ya kidunia, isiyo ya kiroho, na ya kishetani.
no to be this/he/she/it the/this/who wisdom from above/again to descend but earthly natural demonic
16 Kwa maana panapokuwa na wivu na ubinafsi, ndipo penye machafuko na uovu wa kila namna.
where(-ever) for zeal and rivalry there disorder and all evil thing
17 Lakini hekima itokayo mbinguni kwanza ni safi, kisha inapenda amani, tena ni ya upole, iliyo tayari kusikiliza wengine kwa unyenyekevu, iliyojaa huruma na matunda mema, isiyopendelea mtu, tena isiyokuwa na unafiki.
the/this/who then from above/again wisdom first on the other hand pure to be then peaceful gentle compliant full mercy and fruit good impartial (and *k*) genuine
18 Mavuno ya haki hupandwa katika amani na wale wafanyao amani.
fruit then (the/this/who *k*) righteousness in/on/among peace to sow the/this/who to do/make: do peace
