1Be not many [of you] teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment.
1Murhe phral, chi trobul te avel but narodo mashkar tumende kai sicharel, ke zhanen ke ame kai sicharas avasa dine pe kris mai zurales ke sar le kolaver.
2For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
2Ame savorhe shubisavas ande but dieli, numa te si iek manush kai chi shubilpe ande so mothol, kodo manush vorta lo ai sai inkerel sa pesko stato po drom o lasho.
3Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.
3Ashun, ame thas o sastri ando mui grastengo, saxke te keren so mangas lendar; ai kadia sai angeras sa lengo stato kai ame mangas.
4Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.
4Vai den tume goji kal pharaxoduria, marka ke si bare, ai ke le bare barvalia spiden le, sa won ingerde le katar iek tsinorho guvernai, ai zhan kotse kai o manush kai si po pharaxodo mangel.
5So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
5Kadia vi e shib, woi si iek tsinorho kotor kai si ando stato, numa sai luvudilpe anda bare dieli. Ashun, ai den tume goji ka baro versh ke iek tsinorhi iag dosta si te lel sa iag!
6And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
6E shib si sar iek iag, woi si o bezex la lumiako; ai si la lako than ande amaro stato, ai marel sa amaro stato, ai del iag sa amaro traio la iagasa kai avel katar o iado.
7For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind.
7O manush sai kerel anda swako fielo zhigania kai si nasul, so wo mangel, andal chiriklia, sapa, ai mashe, ai vunzhe kerdia kodia.
8But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison.
8Numa inker chi iek manush nashti kerdia la shibasa so wo manglia. Ke shib si iek nasulimos kai nashtisaras te aterdiaras, ande late si iek vilino kai mudarel.
9Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:
9La shibasa ame naisisaras le Dadeske ando rhaio, ai la shibasa ame vi das armaia le manushen kai kerdia O Del te miazon pe leste.
10out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
10Vorbi naisimaske ai armaiange anklen anda iek mui. Murhe phral, chi trobul te avel kadia!
11Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter?
11Sai ek xaiin del po iek than o pai o lasho ai vi o chorho?
12Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt water yield sweet.
12Sai ek khash kai barion le figi pe leste, murhe phral, bariol masleni pe leste? Ai po khash kai bariol o struguro, bariol figi pe leste? Ai o pai o londo nashtil te del pai kai nai londo.
13Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.
13Te si mashkar tumende vari kon kai si pachivalo ai gojaver? Trobul te sikavel peske traiosa, o lashimos kai kerel ando prostomo ai ande goji.
14But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.
14Numa te si ande tumare ile iek zhaluzia nasulimaski, ai gindo te keren nasulimos tumare vortakoske, na luvudin tume, ai na xoxaven ke chi mangen te mothon o chachimos.
15This wisdom is not [a wisdom] that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
15Ke kasaviatar goji chi avel katar O Del, kadala lumiaki la, le manushenge, ai katar o beng avel.
16For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.
16Ke kotse kai si e zhaluzia ai o gindo te keres nasulimos, che vortakoske, kotse si vi o traio o bi malado ai vi o but nasulimos.
17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.
17Numa e goji kai avel anda rhaio vuzhi la, ai porme del pacha, rodel o mishtimos savorhengo, lashi la, ai mangel te kerel so mangel O Del, ai pherdo lashimos la. Ai kerel o lashimos, ai chi rodel te xoxavel numa chachi la.
18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for them that make peace.
18Kodola kai keren e pacha kruglom pendar bariaren ande pacha ai e fruta kai len si iek chacho traio.
