James 3
1 Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, in tia pus suwos weang mwet luti, tuh kowos etu lah kut mwet luti uh fah nununkeyuk upa liki mwet ngia.
Mi britheren, nyle ye be maad many maistris, witynge that ye taken the more doom.
2 Kut nukewa tafongla pacl puspis. Tusruktu fin oasr mwet tia tafongla ke kas lal, el sie mwet suwohs su ku in leumi manol nufon.
For alle we offenden in many thingis. If ony man offendith not in word, this is a perfit man; for also he may lede aboute al the bodi with a bridil.
3 Kut kapriya mwe kuhf se nu in oalin horse uh in sang kifasul elan akos kut ac fahsr nu yen kut lungse fahsr nu we.
For if we putten bridlis `in to horsis mouthis, for to consente to vs, and we leden aboute al the bodi of hem.
4 Nunku pac ke oak nes lulap uh, finne yohk ac el kasrusr ke eng upa uh, ac ku in kifusyuk ke kitin ikwik na srisrik, ac ku in kasrusr nu kutena acn ma captain el lungse in som nu we.
And lo! schippis, whanne thei ben grete, and ben dryuun of stronge wyndis, yit thei ben borun about of a litil gouernaile, where the meuyng of the gouernour wole.
5 Ouinge loh uh: ma na srisrik se, a el ku in konkin ke ma lulap. Nunku ke insak na lulap se ac ku in firirla ke kitin firir na srisrik!
So also the tunge is but a litil membre, and reisith grete thingis. Lo! hou litil fier brenneth a ful greet wode.
6 Ac loh uh el oana sie e. El oana sie faclu ma sessesla ke ma sutuu, su oan in manosr ac osralik ma koluk in manosr nufon. El ku in furreak moul lasr nufon ke sie e na ngeng ma tuku in hell me. (Geenna g1067)
And oure tunge is fier, the vniuersite of wickidnesse. The tunge is ordeyned in oure membris, which defoulith al the bodi; and it is enflawmed of helle, and enflawmeth the wheel of oure birthe. (Geenna g1067)
7 Ku in akmunayeyuk kain in kosro nukewa, ac mwet uh akmunaye tari kosro lemnak ac won, ma orakrak ac ik.
And al the kynde of beestis, and of foulis, and of serpentis, and of othere is chastisid, and tho ben maad tame of mannus kinde; but no man mai chastise the tunge,
8 Tusruktu soenna oasr sie mwet ku in akmunaye loh uh — ma na koluk se ac koflana kifusyukla, sessesla ke pwasin in misa.
for it is an vnpesible yuel, and ful of deedli venym.
9 Kut orekmakin loh uh in sang kulo nu sin Leum ac Papa tumasr, ac oayapa in selngawi mwet wiasr, su orekla in lemluman God.
In it we blessen God, the fadir, and in it we cursen men, that ben maad to the licnesse of God.
10 Kas in sang kulo ac kas in selnga tukeni illa liki oalu sefanna. Mwet wiuk, tiana wo in ouinge!
Of the same mouth passith forth blessing and cursing. My britheren, it bihoueth not that these thingis be don so.
11 Kof loslos ac kof taek tia ku in tukeni sororme liki unon in kof sefanna.
Whether a welle of the same hoole bringith forth swete and salt watir?
12 Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, sak fig soko tia ku in fokla tuh olive pa fahko, ac oa in grape tia ku in fokla tuh fig pa fahko uh. Unon in kof kifinte tia ku in use kofonot.
My britheren, whether a fige tre may make grapis, ethir a vyne figus? So nethir salt watir mai make swete watir.
13 Ya oasr sie inmasrlowos su oasr etauk ac lalmwetmet yoro? Elan akpwayei ke moul wo lal, ac ke orekma wo el orala ke inse pusisel ac lalmwetmet.
Who is wijs, and tauyt among you? schewe he of good lyuyng his worching, in myldenesse of his wisdom.
14 Tusruktu insiom fin sessesla ke sok, srunga, ac nunku kac sifacna, nik kom orekma koluk in kisrung ma pwaye ke kom konkin lalmwetmet lom.
That if ye han bitter enuye, and stryuyngis ben in youre hertis, nyle ye haue glorye, and be lyeris ayens the treuthe.
15 Lalmwetmet ouinge tia ma tuku lucng me, a ma lun faclu — tia ma lun ngun, a ma lun Devil.
For this wisdom is not fro aboue comynge doun, but ertheli, and beestli, and feendli.
16 Yen ma oasr sok ac nunku kac sifacna we, fohs ac kain in ma koluk nukewa oasr pac we.
For where is enuye and strijf, there is vnstidfastnesse and al schrewid werk.
17 Ma se meet ke lalmwetmet lucng me uh pa nasnas; el oayapa misla, okak, ac kulang; sessesla ke pakoten ac fahko wo puspis; wangin srisri ac kutasrik.
But wisdom that is from aboue, first it is chast, aftirward pesible, mylde, able to be counseilid, consentinge to goode thingis, ful of merci and of goode fruytis, demynge with out feynyng.
18 Mwet iwe elos yukwiya fita lun misla, na elos ac fah kosrani fahko lun misla, su pa suwoswos.
And the fruyt of riytwisnesse is sowun in pees, to men that maken pees.
