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.

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

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.

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;

³Ashun, ame thas o sastri ando mui grastengo, saxke te keren so mangas lendar; ai kadia sai angeras sa lengo stato kai ame mangas.

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

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.

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,

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!

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

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.

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.

⁷O manush sai kerel anda swako fielo zhigania kai si nasul, so wo mangel, andal chiriklia, sapa, ai mashe, ai vunzhe kerdia kodia.

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,

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.

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

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.

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

¹⁰Vorbi naisimaske ai armaiange anklen anda iek mui. Murhe phral, chi trobul te avel kadia!

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

¹¹Sai ek xaiin del po iek than o pai o lasho ai vi o chorho?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

¹⁵Ke kasaviatar goji chi avel katar O Del, kadala lumiaki la, le manushenge, ai katar o beng avel.

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

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.

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

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.

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

¹⁸Kodola kai keren e pacha kruglom pendar bariaren ande pacha ai e fruta kai len si iek chacho traio.

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