Santiago 3
1 Ene anayeác, etzaretela magistru anhitz: daquigularic ecen condemnatione handiagoa recebituren dugula.
Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
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 all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 Huná, çamariey bridác ahoetara emaiten drauztegu obedi gaitzatençát, eta hayén gorputz gucia hara huna drabilagu:
Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide 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.
And look at the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.
5 Hala mihia-ere membro tipitobat da, eta gauça handiz vantatzen da: huná, su chipito batec cein egurtze handia irachequiten duen.
So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest.
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. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Ecen bestién, eta chorién, eta suguén, eta itsassoco arrainén natura gucia hetzen da, eta heci içan da natura humanoaz:
For all kinds of animals, and birds, of reptiles and sea creatures, are being tamed and have been tamed by humankind.
8 Baina mihia eceinere guiçonec ecin hez deçaque: ceba ecin daiten gaitzbat da poçoin mortalez bethea.
But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Harçaz benedicatzen dugu gure Iainco eta Aita: eta harçaz maradicatzen ditugu Iaincoaren irudira eguinico guiçonac.
With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, who are made in the image of God.
10 Aho ber-batetaric ilkiten da benedictione eta maledictione: Ezta behar, ene anayeác, hauc hunela eguin ditecen.
Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Ala ithurri batec çulho beretic emaiten du dulcea eta mina?
Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 Ala ficotze batec oliuaric ekar ahal deçaque, edo aihenac ficoric? hala ecin ekar deçaque ithurribatec-ere vr gaci eta gueça.
Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
13 Nor da çuhur eta iaquinsu çuen artean? eracuts bitza conuersatione onez bere obrác, çuhurtziazco emetassunequin.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
14 Eta baldin inuidia saminic baduçue, eta tharritamenduric çuen bihotzetan, etzaiteztela gloria, eta gueçurric ezterraçuela eguiaren contra.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not boast and do not lie against the truth.
15 Ecen çuhurtzia haur ezta garaitic iausten dena, baina da lurrecoa, sensuala eta deabruezcoa.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 Ecen non baita inuidiaric eta tharritamenduric, han nahastecamendu eta obra gaichto gucia.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
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 peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.
18 Eta iustitiazco fructua baquerequin ereiten çaye baquezcoéy.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
