Yakubu 3
1 Na gbardang mine nwa so anan ndursuzu na nit ba, nuwana ning, bara na ti yiru ima su nari ushara gbardang.
LET there not be many teachers among you, my brethren, but know that a greater condemnation we incur.
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 we all offend. Every one who in word offendeth not, this is a perfect man, who is able to make subject also all his body.
3 Nene asa titah nibark inyang tinu mine asan inin dorto nari tiwasa ti kpiliya nidowo mine vat.
For, behold, bridles into the mouth of horses we throw that we may make them submissive to us, and their whole body we turn.
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.
Also the mighty ships, while the furious winds drive them, by a little wood are turned about to the region which the will of him who guideth doth contemplate.
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 small member, and uplifteth itself. A little fire also burneth many forests;
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 sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire. (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 of animals, and of birds, and reptiles of the sea, and of the dry land, have been subjected to 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 the tongue no one can subdue; this is an evil not ordered, (and) full of the poison of death.
9 Nin limere tidin su liru ncikilari nin lif bite, nin linnere tidin tizu annit tinu, alle na ina kẹ nani nafo kuttellẹ.
For by it we bless the Lord and the Father, and by it we curse men who in the likeness of Aloha were made;
10 Nanya nnu urumere tiden lizu enanit nmari mun tikuru ti tizani unu mung; Nuwana nin na ile imone nwa so nani ba.
and from the same mouth go forth curses and blessings. My brethren, it is not fit that these should so be done.
11 Sa kigawa kirume wasa kinutuno nmyen mi mamas nin mi gbagbai kubi kurume?
Can it be that one fountain shall send forth waters sweet 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.
Or can the fig-tree, my brethren, make olives, or the vines figs? thus also salt waters cannot be made 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 of you is wise and instructed? let him show his works in good conversations in meek 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 you have bitter envy among yourselves, or contention be in your hearts, be not inflated against the truth, nor lie;
15 Na ulele uyinlari ulle na una dak unuzu kitene kani ba, nin rani un yiari na di, un kidowari, un nagbergenu.
because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons.
16 Kiti ka na liyarin nin tikibinai nsu liti duku, I ba se nshogolok ku nin lidu linanzang.
For where there are envy and contention, there also are tumult and every thing that is evil.
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 that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not.
18 Tutung idin ibilissu imus katwa kacine sheu bara ale na idj sheu.
But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.
