¹Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that greater judgment we shall receive,

¹Macallimiin badan ha noqonina, walaalahayow, idinkoo garanaya inaynu heli doonno xukun ka sii weyn.

²for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

²Waayo, dhammaanteen wax badan baynu ku gafnaa. Haddii nin ku gafi waayo hadalka, kaasu waa nin kaamil ah, wuuna xakamayn karaa jidhka oo dhan.

³lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their obeying us, and their whole body we turn about;

³Haddaba haddaynu fardaha afkooda xakame gelinno inay ina addeecaan, jidhkooda oo dhanna waynu jeedinnaa.

⁴lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds being driven, are led about by a very small helm, whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel,

⁴Ogaada, xataa doonniyaha, in kastoo ay waaweyn yihiin, oo dabaylo waaweynu kaxeeyaan, weliba waxaa loogu jeediyaa shukaan aad u yar meeshii ninka wada qushigiisu doonayo.

⁵so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle!

⁵Sidaas oo kalena carrabku waa qayb yar, waxyaalo waaweyn buuna ku faanaa. Bal eega dab yaru intuu qoryo shido.

⁶and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna.

⁶Carrabkuna waa dab, waana dunida xaqdarrada. Carrabku wuxuu ku dhex jiraa xubnaheenna, waana kan wasakheeya jidhka oo dhan oo ololiya orodka abuurista, oo jahannamadu isagay ololisaa.

⁷For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath been subdued, by the human nature,

⁷Cayn walba oo ah dugaag, iyo haad, iyo waxa bogga ku gurguurta, iyo waxa badda ku jiraba waa la rabbeeyaa, oo waxaa lagu rabbeeyey dabiicadda dadka.

⁸and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,

⁸Laakiin ninna ma rabbayn karo carrabka; waa shar rogrogmada, oo waxaa ka buuxda sunta wax disha.

⁹with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do curse the men made according to the similitude of God;

⁹Isla isagaynu ku ammaannaa Rabbiga iyo Aabbaha, oo isla isagaynu ku habaarnaa dadka Ilaah ekaantiisa laga abuuray.

¹⁰out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing; it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen;

¹⁰Isku af baa waxaa ka soo baxa ammaan iyo habaar. Walaalahayow, waxyaalahanu waa inaanay sidaas noqon.

¹¹doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the sweet and the bitter?

¹¹Ishu miyey isku meel ka soo wada daysaa biyo macaan iyo kuwa qadhaadh?

¹²is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water [is able] to make.

¹²Walaalahayow, geed berde ahu miyuu dhali karaa saytuun, ama geed canab ahu miyuu dhali karaa midho berde ah? Sidaas oo kalena biyo dhanaanu macaan ma ay noqon karaan.

¹³Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

¹³Kumaa idinku dhex jira oo xigmad iyo waxgarasho leh? Shuqulladiisa ha ku muujiyo dabiicaddiisa wanaagsan, isagoo leh qabowga xigmadda.

¹⁴and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart, glory not, nor lie against the truth;

¹⁴Haddaad xaasidnimo qadhaadh iyo iskala qaybqaybin ku haysataan qalbigiinna, ha faanina, runtana been ha ka sheegina.

¹⁵this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁵Xigmaddaasu ma aha tan kor ka soo degta, laakiin waa tan dhulka iyo nafta iyo jinniyada.

¹⁶for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and every evil matter;

¹⁶Waayo, meeshii xaasidnimo iyo iskala qaybqaybinu ku jiraan, meeshaas waxaa ku jira iskuqasnaan iyo falniin kasta oo shar leh.

¹⁷and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: —

¹⁷Laakiin xigmaddii kor ka timaadaa horta waa daahir, dabadeedna waa nabad iyo qabow iyo mid si dhib yar loola heshiiyo, oo waxaa ka buuxa naxariis iyo midho wanaagsan, mana leh u-kala-eexasho ama labaweji.Midhaha xaqnimada nabad waa loogu beeraa kuwa nabadda ka shaqeeya.

¹⁸and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to those making peace.

¹⁸Midhaha xaqnimada nabad waa loogu beeraa kuwa nabadda ka shaqeeya.
