James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ ᏞᏍᏗ ᎢᏥᏣᏘ ᏗᏣᏕᏲᎲᏍᎩ ᏱᎨᏎᏍᏗ, ᎢᏥᎦᏔᎭᏰᏃ ᎤᏟ ᎢᎦᎢ ᎢᎩᏍᏛᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
2 For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
ᎤᏣᏘᏰᏃ ᎢᏳᏓᎴᎩ ᏂᏗᎥ ᎢᏗᏍᎦᏅᎪᎢ. ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎬ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᎬᎾ ᏥᎨᏐᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏄᎪᎸᎾ ᎨᏐ ᎠᏍᎦᏯ, ᏰᎵᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎬᏪᎾᎯᏍᏙᏗ ᏂᎬ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᏕᏗᎭᎾᎳᏗᏍᎪ ᏐᏈᎵ ᎨᎪᎯᏳᏗᏱ, ᎠᎴ ᏂᎬ ᏗᏂᏰᎸ ᏕᏗᎪᎸᏏᏙᎰᎢ.
4 Behold, 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.
ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᎾᏍᏉ ᏥᏳᏧᏛᎾ ᏤᏉᎯᏳᏍᎩᏂᏃᏅ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏍᎦᏎᏗ ᎤᏃᎴ ᏕᎦᏂᏙᎰᎢ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᏓᏂᎦᏔᎲᏏᏙᎰ ᎠᏅᏘᏍᎪ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏳ ᎦᏌᏛᏍᏗ ᎾᎿᎭᏉ ᎢᏗᏢ ᎤᏚᎸ ᎦᏌᏛᏍᎩ.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᎾᏍᏉ ᎦᏃᎦ ᎤᏍᏗᎩᏳ, ᎠᏎᏃ ᎡᏉᎯᏳ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎪᎢ. ᎬᏂᏳᏉ ᎤᏍᏗ ᎠᏥᎸ ᏄᏣᏔ ᎠᏓ ᏓᏥᏍᏢᏍᎪᎢ.
6 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 Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
ᎠᎴ ᎦᏃᎦ ᎠᏥᎸ ᎾᏍᎩᏯᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎡᎶᎯ ᎠᎧᎵᎢ ᏂᏚᏳᎪᏛᎾ ᎨᏒ ᎾᏍᎩᏯ. ᎾᏍᎩᏯ ᏄᏍᏗ ᎦᏃᎦ ᎤᏓᏑᏴ ᎢᎦᏙᏢᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏓᎭ ᎢᎬᏁᎯ ᏂᎬ ᎠᏰᎸᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᏥᏍᏢᏍᎩ ᎠᎢᏒ ᎠᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏨᏍᎩᏃᎢ ᎤᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᎠᏥᏥᏍᏝᏫᏍᏗᏍᎩ. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
ᏄᎾᏓᎴᏒᏰᏃ ᎢᎾᎨ ᎠᏁᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏂᏃᎯᎵᏙᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎾᏓᎾᏏᏂᏙᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎺᏉᎯ ᎠᏁᎯ, ᏗᏓᏅᏘᏐᏙᏗ ᎠᎴ ᏧᏓᏅᏘᏐᏔᏅᎯ ᏴᏫ.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
ᎦᏃᎦᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᎩᎶ ᏰᎵ ᏴᎬᏓᏅᏘᏐᏓ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏲᎢ ᎬᏎᎪᎩᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ, ᎠᎧᎵᎢ ᎠᏓᎯᎯ ᏅᏬᏘ.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏛᏗᏍᎪᎢ ᎡᏗᎸᏉᏗᏍᎪ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎠᎦᏴᎵᎨᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎢᏛᏗᏍᎪᎢ ᏕᏗᏍᎩᏅᏗᏍᎪ ᏴᏫ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏄᏍᏛ ᎢᎨᎬᏁᎸᎯ ᎨᎪᏢᏅᎯ
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
ᎾᏍᎩ ᏌᏉ ᎠᎰᎵ ᏗᎦᏄᎪᎪ ᎦᎸᏉᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᎩᏅᏗᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ. ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᎥᏝ ᎣᏏᏳ ᏱᎩ ᎾᏍᎩ ᏥᏄᏍᏗ.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
ᏥᎪ ᏌᏉ ᎦᏄᎪᎬ ᏗᎦᏄᎪᎪ ᎤᎦᎾᏍᏛ ᎠᎹ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏴᏍᏗ?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
ᎢᏓᎵᏅᏟ, ᏥᎪ ᏒᎦᏔ-ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏡᎬ ᏰᎵᏉ ᏯᎾᏓᏛᎦ ᎣᎵᏩ ᏡᎬ ᎠᎾᏓᏛᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏥᎪ ᏖᎸᎳᏗᎯ ᏒᎦᎳ-ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᏯᎾᏓᏛᎦ? ᎾᏍᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎥᏝ ᏰᎵ ᏌᏉ ᎦᏄᎪᎬ ᏴᏛᎦᏄᎪᎢ ¯ ᎠᎹ ᎤᎶᏥᏛ ᎠᎴ ¯ ᎠᎹ ᎤᎶᏥᏛ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
ᎦᎪ ᏂᎯ ᏂᏣᏛᏅᎢ ᎤᏓᏑᏯ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂ ᎠᎴ ᎠᎦᏔᏂᎢ? ᎾᏍᎩ ᏫᎦᎾᏄᎪᏩ ᏕᎤᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᎲᎢ ᏫᎬᏙᏓ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎾᏛᏁᎲᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏫᎬᏙᏓ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᏔᎵ ᎤᏛᏕᏍᏗ ᎤᏓᏅᏘ ᎨᏒᎢ.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
ᎢᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎢᏥᏍᏆᏂᎪᏕᏍᏗ ᏙᏗᏣᏓᏅᏛᎢ ᎠᏛᏳᎨᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏢᏆᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᏞᏍᏗ ᏱᏣᏤᎪᎥᏍᎨᏍᏗ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᏒ ᏱᏥᏲᏍᎨᏍᏗ.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
ᎯᎠ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎥᏝ ᎦᎸᎳᏗ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᏱᎩ, ᎡᎶᎯᏉᏍᎩᏂ ᎡᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏊᏓᎸᏉ ᎡᎯ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏍᎩᎾ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
ᎾᎿᎭᏰᏃ ᎠᏛᏳᎨᏗ ᎠᎴ ᎠᏗᏒᏍᏗ ᎠᏁᎲᎢ, ᎾᎿᎭᎡᎰ ᏧᏓᎴᏅᏛ ᎠᎴ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎤᏲ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
ᎦᎸᎳᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ ᏥᎩ ᎠᏏᎾᏌᏂᏳ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎬᏱᏱ ᎦᏓᎭ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎨᏐᎢ, ᎿᎭᏉᏃ ᎪᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏓᏅᏘ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏬᎯᏳᎯᏍᏛ, ᎠᎴ ᎠᎧᎵᏬᎯ ᎠᏓᏙᎵᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏗᎦᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ, ᎠᎴ ᏄᏓᎸᏉᏛᎾ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏠᎾᏍᏗ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
ᎠᏃᎯᏍᏗᏍᎩᏂ ᎠᏃᎯᏍᏗᏍᎬᎢ ᎠᏂᏫᏍᎪ ᏚᏳᎪᏛ ᎤᎾᏄᎪᏫᏍᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ.
