Yakubu 3
1 Na gbardang mine nwa so anan ndursuzu na nit ba, nuwana ning, bara na ti yiru ima su nari ushara gbardang.
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 Bara na tidin tizuru rat tibau ngangang, assa na umon ntiru nanya tigbulang nliru me ba, ame unit une kulun, awasa ayinno ulin dert nin litime.
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 Nene asa titah nibark inyang tinu mine asan inin dorto nari tiwasa ti kpiliya nidowo mine vat.
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Yenen tutung tizirgin nmyen vat nin gbargbardang tining ufunu likana din ko tinin, tidin kọ tinin nin kakoro kabeniari unan kowe din kpilizu unin udu kili ka na adi nin sun due.
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, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Nanere lilem kabiriari cinglin nan nya kidowo, vat nani lidin nutuzunu agbulang adidiya, yenen kusho kudiya na fiburet inda na kusho di nla firum wasa fijuju kumin vat.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 Linin lilem wang ulari, uyi kulapi na ina ti nan nya nabari kidowo, ulle na adin nanzu vat kidowe utah kinin libau udu nan nya nla, linin lileme idin susuzu ulame nan nya kuwu nlaun sali ligang. (Geenna g1067)
And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Vat nimus ninawa ntene, anyin, inawa nusunu naburi kutyen nin in narawa adidya unit usurne di kitizu inin a kesize.
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 Kiti kirum Na umong batin nanya nanit asurne wasa a kpila lilem ba; na lidin shizunu nan nya lidu linanzangba, likilun nin limung tinanzang.
But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Nin limere tidin su liru ncikilari nin lif bite, nin linnere tidin tizu annit tinu, alle na ina kẹ nani nafo kuttellẹ.
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Nanya nnu urumere tiden lizu enanit nmari mun tikuru ti tizani unu mung; Nuwana nin na ile imone nwa so nani ba.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Sa kigawa kirume wasa kinutuno nmyen mi mamas nin mi gbagbai kubi kurume?
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?
12 Nuwana ning, sa kupul wansa a mara kumat nzaitu na? Sa kucha Inabi maru kumat kupula? nanere wang na kigawa nmyen nto wasa ki nutuno nmyen micine ba.
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Ghari nanya mine di jinjing sa uyiru? na unit une diaso lososin licine nin katuwa me nanya ntobtunu liti na udi bara njinjin.
Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 Asa udi nin liyarin li nanzang nin su liti a uti liti, na uwa fo figiri nanya nin kinu kitene kidine ba.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 Na ulele uyinlari ulle na una dak unuzu kitene kani ba, nin rani un yiari na di, un kidowari, un nagbergenu.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 Kiti ka na liyarin nin tikibinai nsu liti duku, I ba se nshogolok ku nin lidu linanzang.
For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
17 Nan nya nani njinjing kitene kani min burnue mi lauwari, udi sheu nin su, nyita seng, washalang, nin kune kune kibinai a kumat ku gegeme, na uferu mnit di ku ba, sa karusuzo.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 Tutung idin ibilissu imus katwa kacine sheu bara ale na idj sheu.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
