James 3
1 Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.
Aluna ane, singa inonee mihi kutula miamanyisi, mulinge kina mizize singelya kinyamilimo kikulu kukila.
2 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.
Kunsoko kehi kitumila kunzila yeetu. Ange wehi shanga wikumpya munkani yakwe, nuanso muntu nakondile. uhumile kulaagila kumwili wakwe wihi.
3 Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.
Itegwa kang'wi kuuika ilijamu afarasi mumilomo ao akugombile, hangi kuhueli kuupiula imilomo ehi.
4 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.
Hangi mulinge kina iimeli, ingawa nkulu kusukung'wa nung'we ga nuukulu, hangi kuhumile kupeula imiile ao ihi.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
Kuu uu anga kelume, kintu kiniino mumwili, wisumbula pakulu du. Sigozi kote kehaka nikikulu kihumile kusonswa ninzae nino niyamoto!
6 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)
Ululime nulwensogaa moto, ukumbigulu wa ulugu, uikilwe mumo muingo ya miile itu, inge wikanza umwiili wihi hangi wiikwa migulya mumoto munzila yalikalo, nuwenso wikansoswa numoto nuwakuulungu. (Geenna g1067)
7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;
Kila ikikali kamihaka, nyunyi, niikugenda pehi nekekali kamuluze iza ikaiwe ni antu.
8 but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Inge kutile umuntu anga nung'wi, nuhumile kululagila ululime, ingi ubi nisinga wikilaga, nuwizoe kizume nuubulagi.
9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.
Kululimi kimukulya umukulu nu Tata witu, hangi kululeme lulo keazuma iantu niaumbilwe, kupyani ang'wi Tunda.
10 Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
Kumulomo wuwo wuwo witambula nkani yakukembetwa nukuzung'wa. Aluna ane emakani aya singangaanonee.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
Ikolyo, uluzi lung'wi lahuma kupumyane imaze nimaza nayanimaluluu?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
Aluna ane ikolyo ikota la mutini lahumane kutuga inkali yamuzeituni, ang'wi umuzabibu ukutugane inkali niamutini? Anga injilyo namazi nimalulu shikipumya imazi nisinga malulu.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
Nyenyu mung'wanyu nukete uupolo nuumanyi? Ebu umuntu uyu walagiile ulikalo nuluza mumilimo akwe nuupolonuupumie mumahala.
14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.
Angize mukete wilu nuutaki mumasigo yawinyene munkola yanyu, muleke kuhumbula kuligitya uuteele nukuligitya itai.
15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.
Uwu singa upolo nuupumile kigulya, inge upumile muunkumbigulu, singa akinkolo, akiheng'wi.
16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.
Kunsoko paukole uwetu niwitengi ukole, ukole wibulugi ni ntendo nimbe.
17 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.
Upolo nuupimie kigulya, kwanza uza, hangi wilowa upolo, uupoelu nimahala, nizue ukende nuuhuili nuuza singawi kuila anga antu antu ni tai.
18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
Ni nkali yatai yetemelwa muupolo kuawa niituma inkani ya upolo.
