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

¹Be not many teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive greater judgment.

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 often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* [is] a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.

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

³Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.

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

⁴Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.

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

⁵Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!

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] fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.

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

⁷For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;

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

⁸but the tongue can no one among men tame; [it is] an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.

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

⁹Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after [the] likeness of God.

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

¹⁰Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.

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

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

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

¹²Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt [water] make sweet water.

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

¹³Who [is] wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;

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

¹⁴but if ye have bitter emulation and strife in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

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

¹⁵This is not the wisdom which comes down from above, but earthly, natural, devilish.

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

¹⁶For where emulation and strife [are], there [is] disorder and every evil thing.

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

¹⁷But the wisdom from above first is pure, then peaceful, gentle, yielding, full of mercy and good fruits, unquestioning, unfeigned.

¹⁸Eta iustitiazco fructua baquerequin ereiten çaye baquezcoéy.

¹⁸But [the] fruit of righteousness in peace is sown for them that make peace.
