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 not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier 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 stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.
3 Nene asa titah nibark inyang tinu mine asan inin dorto nari tiwasa ti kpiliya nidowo mine vat.
Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide 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, 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 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 the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
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 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)
7 Vat nimus ninawa ntene, anyin, inawa nusunu naburi kutyen nin in narawa adidya unit usurne di kitizu inin a kesize.
For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
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 nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless 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 our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image 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 blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Sa kigawa kirume wasa kinutuno nmyen mi mamas nin mi gbagbai kubi kurume?
Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
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 brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh 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 understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness 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 you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t 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 that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
16 Kiti ka na liyarin nin tikibinai nsu liti duku, I ba se nshogolok ku nin lidu linanzang.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil 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 that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 Tutung idin ibilissu imus katwa kacine sheu bara ale na idj sheu.
Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
