Yakubu 3
1 Na gbardang mine nwa so anan ndursuzu na nit ba, nuwana ning, bara na ti yiru ima su nari ushara gbardang.
Do not let many be teachers, my brothers, having known that we will receive greater 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 we all make many stumbles; if anyone does not stumble in word, this one [is] a perfect man, able to also bridle the whole body;
3 Nene asa titah nibark inyang tinu mine asan inin dorto nari tiwasa ti kpiliya nidowo mine vat.
behold, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and we direct 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, being so great, and being driven by fierce winds, are directed by a very small rudder, wherever the impulse of the [one] steering wills,
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 boasts greatly; behold, how much forest a little fire kindles!
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, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna. (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 nature, both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and has been subdued, by the human nature,
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 no one of men is able to subdue the tongue—[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 the God and Father, and with it we curse the men made according to [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 comes forth blessing and cursing; it does not need, my brothers, these things to so happen;
11 Sa kigawa kirume wasa kinutuno nmyen mi mamas nin mi gbagbai kubi kurume?
does the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the 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.
Is a fig tree able, my brothers, to make olives? Or a vine figs? Neither is salty [water able] to have made sweet water.
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] wise and intelligent among you? Let him show his works out of good behavior in 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.
yet, if you have bitter zeal, and rivalry in your heart, do not glory, nor lie 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 is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,
16 Kiti ka na liyarin nin tikibinai nsu liti duku, I ba se nshogolok ku nin lidu linanzang.
for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;
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, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, well-convinced, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical—
18 Tutung idin ibilissu imus katwa kacine sheu bara ale na idj sheu.
and the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.
