¹Ene anayeác, etzaretela magistru anhitz: daquigularic ecen condemnatione handiagoa recebituren dugula.

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

²Ecen anhitz gauçatan huts eguiten dugu guciéc Baldin cembeitec hitzean huts eguiten ezpadu, hura guiçon perfectoa da, eta bridatan eduqui ahal deçaque gorputz gucia-ere.

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;

³Huná, çamariey bridác ahoetara emaiten drauztegu obedi gaitzatençát, eta hayén gorputz gucia hara huna drabilagu:

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

⁴Huná, barcác-ere, hain handi diradelaric, eta haice borthitzéz erabilten diradelaric, hara huna erabilten dirade gobernail chipito batez, norat-ere gobernaçalearen placerac nahi baituque.

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,

⁵Hala mihia-ere membro tipitobat da, eta gauça handiz vantatzen da: huná, su chipito batec cein egurtze handia irachequiten duen.

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

⁶Mihia-ere subat da, eta iniquitatezco mundubat: hala diot mihia eçarria dela gure membroén artean, ceinec maculatzen baitu gorputz gucia, eta irachequiten gure naturaren cursua, eta irachequia da gehennáz.

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.

⁷Ecen bestién, eta chorién, eta suguén, eta itsassoco arrainén natura gucia hetzen da, eta heci içan da natura humanoaz:

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,

⁸Baina mihia eceinere guiçonec ecin hez deçaque: ceba ecin daiten gaitzbat da poçoin mortalez bethea.

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

⁹Harçaz benedicatzen dugu gure Iainco eta Aita: eta harçaz maradicatzen ditugu Iaincoaren irudira eguinico guiçonac.

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

¹⁰Aho ber-batetaric ilkiten da benedictione eta maledictione: Ezta behar, ene anayeác, hauc hunela eguin ditecen.

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

¹¹Ala ithurri batec çulho beretic emaiten du dulcea eta mina?

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

¹²Ala ficotze batec oliuaric ekar ahal deçaque, edo aihenac ficoric? hala ecin ekar deçaque ithurribatec-ere vr gaci eta gueça.

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.

¹³Nor da çuhur eta iaquinsu çuen artean? eracuts bitza conuersatione onez bere obrác, çuhurtziazco emetassunequin.

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

¹⁴Eta baldin inuidia saminic baduçue, eta tharritamenduric çuen bihotzetan, etzaiteztela gloria, eta gueçurric ezterraçuela eguiaren contra.

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

¹⁵Ecen çuhurtzia haur ezta garaitic iausten dena, baina da lurrecoa, sensuala eta deabruezcoa.

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

¹⁶Ecen non baita inuidiaric eta tharritamenduric, han nahastecamendu eta obra gaichto gucia.

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

¹⁷Baina garaitico çuhurtziá, lehenic da pur, guero baquezco, moderatu, maneioso, misericordiaz eta fructu onez bethea, distinctioneric gabea, hypocrisia gabea.

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

¹⁸Eta iustitiazco fructua baquerequin ereiten çaye baquezcoéy.

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