Santiago 3
1 Saan koma nga adu kadakayo ti agbalin a manursuro, kakabsatko, nga ammoyo nga awatentayonto ti dakdakkel a pannakaukom.
Not, many teachers, become ye, my brethren, knowing that, a severer sentence, shall ye receive;
2 Ta maitibkultayo amin iti adu a wagas. No saan a maitublak ti siasinoman iti sasaona, isuna ket awan pagkuranganna a tao, matengngelna pay ti sububukel a bagina.
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.
3 Ita, no ikabiltayo dagiti busal dagiti kabalyo kadagiti ngiwatda agtulnogda kadatayo, ket mabalintayo a pagpusipusen dagiti bagida.
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.
4 Kitaenyo pay a dagiti barko, uray no nagdadakkelda unay ket maidurduron dagiti napipigsa nga angin, ket iturturong iti nagbassit a timon iti sadinoman a tarigagayan ti kapitan a pangiturongan
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.
5 Kasta met, ti dila ket maysa a bassit a paset iti bagi, ngem ipasindayagna dagiti dakkel a banbanag. Kitaenyo no kasano a ti dakkel a kabakiran ket masindian babaen iti rissik iti beggang!
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;
6 Ti dila ket maysa met laeng nga apuy, maysa a lubong iti kinamanagbasol a naikabil kadagiti paset iti bagitayo, a mangrugrugit iti sububukel a bagi ket puoranna ti dalan iti biag, ken mapuoran ti bagina babaen iti impierno. (Geenna g1067)
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)
7 Ti tunggal kita iti atap nga ayup, billit, agkarkarayam, ken parsua iti baybay ket mapapaamo ken napaamo ti sangkataoan,
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;
8 ngem awan kadagiti tattao ti makapaamo iti dila; maysa daytoy a dakes nga awan inanana, napno iti makapatay a sabidong.
But, the tongue, none of mankind can, tame, —A restless mischief! Full of deadly poison
9 Babaen iti dila, daydayawentayo ti Apo ken Amatayo, ken babaen iti daytoy ket ilunodtayo dagiti tattao, a naaramid iti langa ti Dios.
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!
10 Manipud iti isu met laeng a ngiwat ket naisao iti pangbendision ken panangilunod. Kakabsatko, saan koma a kastoy dagitoy a banbanag.
Out of the same mouth, come forth blessing and cursing! Not meet, my brethren, for, these things, thus, to be coming to pass!
11 Ipussuak kadi ti ubbog ti agpada a nasam-it ken napait a danum?
Doth, the fountain, out of the same opening, teem forth the sweet and the bitter?
12 Kakabsatko, makapatubo kadi ti igos iti olibo, wenno ti ubas ket mangpatubo iti igos? Kasta met a saan a makapataud ti naapgad nga ubbog iti nasam-it a danum.
Is it possible, my brethren, for, a fig-tree, to produce, olives, or, a vine, figs? Neither can, salt, water yield, sweet.
13 Siasino kadakayo ti nasirib ken mannakaawat? Ipakita koma dayta a tao ti nasayaat a biag babaen kadagiti aramidna iti kinapakumbaba nga aggapu iti kinasirib.
Who is wise and well-instructed among you? Let him show, out of his comely behaviour, his works, in meekness of wisdom.
14 Ngem no addaankayo iti napait a panagimon ken naimot a tarigagay iti pusoyo, saankayo nga agpasindayag ken agulbod a maibusor iti kinapudno.
But, if, bitter jealousy, ye have, and rivalry, in your hearts; be not boasting and showing yourselves false against the truth!
15 Saan a kinasirib daytoy a bumaba manipud iti ngato, ngem ketdi nainlubongan daytoy, saan a naespirituan, ken sinasairo.
This wisdom is not one, from above, coming down, but is earthly, born of the soul, demoniacal!
16 Ta no sadino ti ayan ti panagimon ken naimot a tarigagay, adda ti riribuk ken amin a narugit nga aramid.
For, where jealousy and rivalry are, there, are anarchy and every ignoble deed.
17 Ngem ti kinasirib nga aggapu iti ngato ket umuna, nasin-aw, kalpasanna managayat iti kapia, naalumamay, nasayaat ti panagpuspusona, napno iti asi ken nasayaat a bunga, awanan ti panangipangpangruna kadagiti sumagmamano a tattao, ken napasnek.
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.
18 Ken ti bunga iti kinalinteg ket naimula iti kapia para kadagiti agar-aramid iti kapia.
And, in harvest of righteousness, with peace, is sown by them that make peace.
