1Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
1Nawkamyanawk, patukkung ah na oh o boih hanah poek o hmah, aicae loe karai kue lokcaekhaih a tong o tih, tito panoek oh.
2For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body.
2Aicae boih paroeai hmuen sakpazaehaih a tawnh o. Lokthuih pazae ai kami loe, kakoep kami ah oh moe, takpum boih angsum thaih kami ah oh.
3For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
3Khenah, lok tahngaih thai hanah, aicae mah hrang ih tahmawh to a moem pae o; to naah ni hrang ih takpum boih paqoi thaih.
4Behold also ships, whereas they are great, and are driven by strong winds, yet are they turned about with a small helm, whithersoever the force of the governor willeth.
4Palongpuinawk ho khen oh, len o parai e, takhi kaham mah koeh baktiah hmuh thaih, toe palongpui mongkung mah loe amonghaih cung tetta hoiah ni a caeh koehhaih baktiah paqoi.
5Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
5To baktih toengah palai doeh takpum thungah kaom hmuen tetta ah ni oh, toe amoek parai. Khenah, tetta hmai mah taw to kangh boih!
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is placed among our members, which defileth the whole body, and inflameth the wheel of our nativity, being set on fire by hell.
6Palai loe hmai ah oh moe, long zaehaih ah oh: to baktih toengah palai loe aicae takpum thungah oh moe, takpum to amhnongsak boih, takpum hmai kangsak hanah, hell hmai thungah kraksak.
7For every nature of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of the rest, is tamed, and hath been tamed, by the nature of man:
7Moi kasannawk, tavaanawk, pahuinawk hoi tuipui thungah kaom moinawk boih mongsak thaih:
8But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.
8toe palai loe mi kawbaktih mah doeh pazawk thai ai; thuitaek thai ai ih kasae ah oh moe, duekhaih kasoe ah oh.
9By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
9Aicae mah ampa Sithaw to palai hoiah pakoeh moe, Sithaw hoi kanghmong ah sak ih kaminawk doeh aicae mah palai hoiah pasoih o.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
10Pakha maeto thung hoiah tahamhoihhaih hoi tangoenghaih to tacawt. Nawkamyanawk, hae tiah oh han om ai.
11Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
11Tuibap maeto thung hoiah tui kaluep hoi tui kakhaa tacawt thai maw?
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
12Nawkamyanawk, thaiduetkung mah Olive thaih athaih thai maw? To tih ai boeh loe misurkung mah thaiduet thaih athaih thai maw? Tuibap maeto thung hoiah tui kaluep hoi tui kakhrum tacawt thai ai.
13Who is a wise man, and endued with knowledge among you? Let him shew, by a good conversation, his work in the meekness of wisdom.
13Nangcae thungah palungha kami hoi panoekhaih tawn kami oh maw? Om nahaeloe palunghahaih tuinom hoiah tacawt kahoih a toksakhaih to amtuengsak nasoe.
14But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
14Toe na palung thungah kasae uthaih maw, misa angcoeng koehhaih maw om nahaeloe, amoek o hmah loe, loktang lok aek hanah lok amlai o hmah.
15For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
15To baktih palunghahaih loe ranui bang hoiah angzo ai, long hoiah angzo palunghahaih, taksa koehhaih hoiah angzo palunghahaih, taqawk khae hoiah angzo palunghahaih ah ni oh.
16For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
16Uthaih hoi misa angcoenghaih kaom ahmuen ah loe, khosak anghmanghaih hoi congca kasae sakhaih to oh.
17But the wisdom, that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation.
17Toe ranui bang hoi angzo palunghahaih loe, hmaloe koekah ciimcai moe, angdaehhaih, poeknaemhaih, kami tlim ah khosakhaih, palungnathaih hoiah koi pacoengah, athaih kahoih to athaih, mikhmai khethaih om ai, angsak cophaih doeh om ai.
18And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
18Angdaehhaih sah kaminawk loe toenghaih thingthai atii to monghaih hoiah haeh o.
