James 3
1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation.
Valongo vangu, vamahele vinu vakotoka kuvya vawula. Ngati chammanyili, tete vawula yati tipata uhamula uvaha kuliku vangi
2 For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body.
Tete tavoha tibuda munjila ndalindali. Nambu ngati mundu ibuda lepi mukujova, mwenuyo ndi akangili ihotola kujilongasa mwene mumatendu gaki goha.
3 Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie.
Tete tivika chipandi cha lyuma chidebe chechikungiwi nyosi mumlomo wa falasi, muni vatiyidikila, na kwa kuhuta tihotola kumlongosa kwokoha kwetigana.
4 Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth.
Mewawa na watu, hati ngati uvaha neju, na ukang'wa na chimbungululu chikali nambu yihotoleka kung'anambuswa na chipandi chidebe cha ubau, na kuhamba kwokoha mgendesa watu kweigana
5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth.
Mewawa, lulimi pamonga ndi chiungu chidebe cha higa, nambu chihotola kumekela mambu gakulu neju. Holalela motu udebe chauhotola kutinyisa dasi yivaha.
6 And the tongue is fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
Mewawa lulimi ngati motu umemili uhakau, wenu ndi pandu padebe muhiga nambu wileta uhakau muhiga yoha. Ulimi usopa motu wumi witu woha kuhuma kuvelekewa mbaka kufwa. Kwa motu wewihuma kuligodi litali langali mwishu. (Geenna g1067)
7 For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man.
Mundu ihotola kufuya hinyama na viumbi vyoha, hinyama ya mdahi, hidege, mayoka na viumbi vya mmanji.
8 But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson.
Nambu kawaka mundu mweahotwili kufuya lulimi. Lulimi ndi chindu chihakau, chilongoseka lepi na chimemili chimatila yeyikoma.
9 Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Kwa lulimi tete tikumsengusa BAMBU na Dadi witu. Kwa lulimi lulolo tikuvapela likoto vandu, vevawumbiwi kwa luhumu wa Chapanga.
10 Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Malovi ga kumotisa na ga likoto gihuma mumlomo umonga. Valongo vangu mambu ago giganikiwa lepi kuvya chenicho.
11 Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter?
Wu, chinyepa chimonga chihotola kuhumisa manji geginyong'onya na gegivava?
12 Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete.
Valongo, wu, mkongo wa mtini uhotola kupambika zeituni? Amala mkongo wa zeituni uhotola kupambika tini? Mewawa chinyepa cha manji gana mwinyu nakuhotola kuhumisa manji geginyong'onya.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome.
Wu, yani mweavi na luhala na umanya pagati yinu? Hinu alangisa kwa kukita matendu gabwina muwumi waki gegikitika kwa ungolongondi na luhala.
14 But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth.
Nambu ngati mitima yinu yimemili wihu, kuvahakalila vangi na kujigana wamwene, hinu mkoto kufiya uchakaka kwa kujilumba na kujova udese.
15 This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish.
Luhala ngati lwenulo nakuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga, nambu pamulima na lwa chimundu na lwa Setani.
16 For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes.
Muni popoha pepavi na wihu na kujigana mwavene, pavi na chitututu na uhakau woha.
17 But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easie to be intreated, full of mercie and good fruites, without iudging, and without hipocrisie.
Nambu luhala lweluhuma kunani kwa Chapanga hoti yinyambili, yigana uteke, na kuvagana vandu, yimemili lipyana na matendu gabwina, kawaka kubagula amala uhomela.
18 And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.
Vandu vevigana uteke vikita mambu ga kuleta uteke kwa vandu vangi, chechihumila ndi kuvya vabwina palongolo ya Chapanga.
