Santiago 3
1 Ene anayeác, etzaretela magistru anhitz: daquigularic ecen condemnatione handiagoa recebituren dugula.
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 Ecen anhitz gauçatan huts eguiten dugu guciéc Baldin cembeitec hitzean huts eguiten ezpadu, hura guiçon perfectoa da, eta bridatan eduqui ahal deçaque gorputz gucia-ere.
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 Huná, çamariey bridác ahoetara emaiten drauztegu obedi gaitzatençát, eta hayén gorputz gucia hara huna drabilagu:
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Huná, barcác-ere, hain handi diradelaric, eta haice borthitzéz erabilten diradelaric, hara huna erabilten dirade gobernail chipito batez, norat-ere gobernaçalearen placerac nahi baituque.
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 Hala mihia-ere membro tipitobat da, eta gauça handiz vantatzen da: huná, su chipito batec cein egurtze handia irachequiten duen.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 Mihia-ere subat da, eta iniquitatezco mundubat: hala diot mihia eçarria dela gure membroén artean, ceinec maculatzen baitu gorputz gucia, eta irachequiten gure naturaren cursua, eta irachequia da gehennáz. (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 Ecen bestién, eta chorién, eta suguén, eta itsassoco arrainén natura gucia hetzen da, eta heci içan da natura humanoaz:
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 Baina mihia eceinere guiçonec ecin hez deçaque: ceba ecin daiten gaitzbat da poçoin mortalez bethea.
But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Harçaz benedicatzen dugu gure Iainco eta Aita: eta harçaz maradicatzen ditugu Iaincoaren irudira eguinico guiçonac.
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Aho ber-batetaric ilkiten da benedictione eta maledictione: Ezta behar, ene anayeác, hauc hunela eguin ditecen.
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Ala ithurri batec çulho beretic emaiten du dulcea eta mina?
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water] and bitter?
12 Ala ficotze batec oliuaric ekar ahal deçaque, edo aihenac ficoric? hala ecin ekar deçaque ithurribatec-ere vr gaci eta gueça.
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Nor da çuhur eta iaquinsu çuen artean? eracuts bitza conuersatione onez bere obrác, çuhurtziazco emetassunequin.
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 Eta baldin inuidia saminic baduçue, eta tharritamenduric çuen bihotzetan, etzaiteztela gloria, eta gueçurric ezterraçuela eguiaren contra.
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 Ecen çuhurtzia haur ezta garaitic iausten dena, baina da lurrecoa, sensuala eta deabruezcoa.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 Ecen non baita inuidiaric eta tharritamenduric, han nahastecamendu eta obra gaichto gucia.
For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.
17 Baina garaitico çuhurtziá, lehenic da pur, guero baquezco, moderatu, maneioso, misericordiaz eta fructu onez bethea, distinctioneric gabea, hypocrisia gabea.
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 Eta iustitiazco fructua baquerequin ereiten çaye baquezcoéy.
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
