Not many [of you] teachers do become brothers of mine, knowing that greater judgment we will receive.
2 Hlang boeih loh muep m'paloe uh coeng. Khat khat loh olka dongah a tongtah pawt atah, anih tah hlang lungcuei coeng ni. A pum tom khaw a tuem hamla coeng thai ni.
In many ways for we stumble all; If anyone in what he says not does stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle indeed all the body.

(If *NO) (now *N+K+o) of the horses bits into the mouths we put (for *N+kO) to obey them us, even all the body of them we turn about.
4 Sangpho khaw ke, te tluk aih la om tih khohli puei loh a yawn mai. Lawngkaih ca neh a hoihaeng vaengah thathohnah loh a ngaih bangla a dueng sak.
Behold also the ships, so great being and by winds strong being driven, are turned about by a very small rudder where (ever *k) the impulse [of the one] who is steering (decides. *N+kO)
5 Lai khaw a pumrho a yit la om dae muep hoem van. Hmai pom loh duup puei a dom coeng ke.
Thus also the tongue a small member is and exceeding things it boasts. Behold (a great *N+kO) fire how great a forest it kindles;
6 Lai tah hmai ni, boethae kah Diklai ni. Lai tah mamih pumrho lamkah hmoel uh coeng. Te long te pum tom a nook tih, a rhuirhong a yung a pa te a hlup tih hell neh a hoeh. (Geenna g1067)
Also the tongue [is] a fire, the world of iniquity (thus *k) The tongue is set among the members of us which is defiling all the body and setting on fire the course of nature and [itself] being set on fire by hell. (Geenna g1067)
7 Satlung neh vaa kah a hui boeih, rhulcai neh tuisu khaw a mong vanbangla hlanghing coengnah te khaw a mong sak.
All for kinds of beasts both and of birds, of creeping things both and things of the sea is subdued and he has been subdued by the race human;
8 Tedae lai he hlang kah a mong sak thai koi moenih. Boethae likloek, duek sue hoeng ni.
the but tongue no [one] to subdue is able of men; ([it is] an unruly *N+kO) evil, full of poison deadly.

With it we bless the (Lord *N+KO) and Father and with it we curse men those according to [the] likeness of God having been made;
10 Ka amah lamkah yoethennah neh rhunkhuennah khaw thoeng. Ka manuca rhoek, a tueng pawt lam ni a om tangkuet te.
Out of the same mouth proceed forth blessing and cursing. Not ought, brothers of Mine, these things so to be.
11 Tuisih te a khui pakhat lamloh a didip neh a thanghap phuet sak pawt maco.
surely not ever the spring out of the same opening pours forth [both] fresh and bitter?
12 Ka manuca rhoek, thaibu loh olive, misur loh thaibu cuen sak thai pawt maco. A al loh tui te didip la a poeh sak moenih.
Surely not is able, brothers of mine, a fig tree olives to produce Or a vine figs? (thus *k) (Nor *N+kO) (spring *K) of salt (and *k) fresh to produce water.
13 Nangmih khuiah, aka cueih tih aka thaai te unim? A bisai te omih then neh, cueihnah te muelhtuetnah neh tueng sak saeh.
Who [is] wise and understanding among you? he should show out of the good conduct the works of him in [the] humility of wisdom.

If however jealousy bitter you have and self-interest in the heart of you, not do boast [of it] and do lie against the truth.
15 Tekah cueihnah tah a so lamkah aka suntla la om pawt tih, diklai rhaithae kah a coengnah ni.
Not is this the wisdom from above coming down, but [is] earthly unspiritual demonic.
16 Thatlainah neh koevoeinah a om nah ah soekloeknah neh hno thae cungkuem om.
Where for jealousy and self-interest [exist], there [will be] disorder and every evil thing.
17 Tedae a so lamkah cueihnah tah lamhma tih cuem, te dongah ngaimong la, kodo la, mongkawt la om. Rhennah thaih then neh baetawt tih hmantang ah tangyah pawh.
But the from above wisdom first indeed pure is, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and of fruits good, impartial, (and *k) sincere.
