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 teachers, knowing that we shall receive a severer judgment.
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 all offend. If any man offend not in word, he is a perfect man, and capable of reining in 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 into 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, though so great, and driven by tempestuous winds, are turned about by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the inclination of the pilot pleaseth.
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.
So also the tongue is a little member, and proudly vaunts. Behold how great a pile of wood, 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: in such manner is the tongue placed among our members, that it defileth all the body, and setteth on fire the circle of nature; and 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 species of wild beasts, and also of birds, of reptiles, and even of fishes, is tamed, and hath also been tamed by human ingenuity:
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.
With it we bless God even the Farther; and with the same we curse men, though after the likeness 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 goeth forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be thus.
11 Sa kigawa kirume wasa kinutuno nmyen mi mamas nin mi gbagbai kubi kurume?
Doth a fountain from the same aperture spout forth 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 a fig-tree, my brethren, produce olives; or a vine figs? so also can no fountain send forth salt water and sweet.
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 intelligent among you, let him shew in a becoming conduct his works with the 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 envy and contention in your heart, boast 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 is not the wisdom which cometh from above, but is earthly, sensual, diabolical.
16 Kiti ka na liyarin nin tikibinai nsu liti duku, I ba se nshogolok ku nin lidu linanzang.
For where envy and contention dwell, there is tumult and every vile deed.
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 from above is first pure, then peaceable, meek, easily persuadable, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and void of dissimulation.
18 Tutung idin ibilissu imus katwa kacine sheu bara ale na idj sheu.
But the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for those who are peacemakers.
