James 3
1 Not, many teachers, become ye, my brethren, knowing that, a severer sentence, shall ye receive;
Ne tražite, braæo moja, da budete mnogi uèitelji, znajuæi da æemo veæma biti osuðeni,
2 For, oft, are we stumbling, one and all: If anyone, in word, doth not stumble, the same, is a mature man, able to curb even the whole body.
Jer svi pogrješujemo mnogo puta. Ali ko u rijeèi ne pogrješuje, onaj je savršen èovjek, može zauzdati i sve tijelo.
3 Now, if, the horses bits, into their mouths, we thrust, to the end they may be yielding to us, their whole body also, do we turn about.
Jer gle, i konjma meæemo žvale u usta da nam se pokoravaju, i sve tijelo njihovo okreæemo.
4 Lo! the ships also, large as they are, and, by rough winds, driven along, are turned about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the steersman inclineth.
Gle i laðe, ako su i velike i silni ih vjetrovi gone, okreæu se malom krmicom kuda hoæe onaj koji upravlja.
5 So, also, the tongue, is, a little member, and yet, of great things, maketh boast. Lo! how small a fire, kindleth, how great a forest;
A tako je i jezik mali ud, i mnogo èini. Gle, mala vatra, i kolike velike šume sažeže.
6 And, the tongue, is a fire, —[as], the world of unrighteousness, the tongue, becometh fixed among our members, that which defileth the whole body and setteth on fire the wheel of our natural life, and is set on fire, by gehenna! (Geenna g1067)
I jezik je vatra, svijet pun nepravde. Tako i jezik živi meðu našijem udima, poganeæi sve tijelo, i paleæi vrijeme života našega, i zapaljujuæi se od pakla. (Geenna g1067)
7 For, every nature—both of wild beasts and of birds, both of reptiles and of things in the sea, is to be tamed, and hath been tamed, by the human nature;
Jer sav rod zvjerinja i ptica, i bubina i riba, pripitomljava se i pripitomio se rodu èovjeèijemu;
8 But, the tongue, none of mankind can, tame, —A restless mischief! Full of deadly poison
A jezika niko od ljudi ne može pripitomiti, jer je nemirno zlo, puno ijeda smrtonosnoga.
9 Therewith, are we blessing our Lord and Father, and, therewith, we are cursing the men who, after the likeness of God, have been brought into being!
Njim blagosiljamo Boga i oca, i njim kunemo ljude, koji su stvoreni po oblièju Božijemu.
10 Out of the same mouth, come forth blessing and cursing! Not meet, my brethren, for, these things, thus, to be coming to pass!
Iz jednijeh usta izlazi blagoslov i kletva. Ne valja, ljubazna braæo moja, da ovo tako biva.
11 Doth, the fountain, out of the same opening, teem forth the sweet and the bitter?
Eda li može izvor iz jedne glave toèiti slatko i grko?
12 Is it possible, my brethren, for, a fig-tree, to produce, olives, or, a vine, figs? Neither can, salt, water yield, sweet.
Može li, braæo moja, smokva masline raðati ili vinova loza smokve? Tako nijedan izvor ne daje slane i slatke vode.
13 Who is wise and well-instructed among you? Let him show, out of his comely behaviour, his works, in meekness of wisdom.
Ko je meðu vama mudar i pametan neka pokaže od dobra življenja djela svoja u krotosti i premudrosti.
14 But, if, bitter jealousy, ye have, and rivalry, in your hearts; be not boasting and showing yourselves false against the truth!
Ako li imate grku zavist i svaðu u srcima svojijem, ne hvalite se, ni lažite na istinu.
15 This wisdom is not one, from above, coming down, but is earthly, born of the soul, demoniacal!
Ovo nije ona premudrost što silazi odozgo, nego zemaljska, ljudska, ðavolska.
16 For, where jealousy and rivalry are, there, are anarchy and every ignoble deed.
Jer gdje je zavist i svaða ondje je nesloga i svaka zla stvar.
17 But, the wisdom from above, is—first pure, then peaceable, reasonable, easy to be entreated, fraught with mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocrisy.
A koja je premudrost odozgo ona je najprije èista, a potom mirna, krotka, pokorna, puna milosti i dobrijeh plodova, bez hatera, i nelicemjerna.
18 And, in harvest of righteousness, with peace, is sown by them that make peace.
A plod pravde u miru sije se onima koji mir èine.
