1Be ye not many masters, my brethren, knowing that you receive the greater judgment.
1Ka manuca rhoek, saya la muep om uh boeh. Laitloeknah tanglue n'dang uh ni tila ming uh.
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.
2Hlang boeih loh muep m'paloe uh coeng. Khat khat loh olka dongah a tongtah pawt atah, anih tah hlang lungcuei coeng ni. A pum tom khaw a tuem hamla coeng thai ni.
3For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us, and we turn about their whole body.
3Marhang ka khuila kamrhui ng'khueh pah daengah ni amih te mamih taengah naem sak eh. Te phoeiah ni a pum tom khaw n'hoihaeng sak pueng.
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.
4Sangpho khaw ke, te tluk aih la om tih khohli puei loh a yawn mai. Lawngkaih ca neh a hoihaeng vaengah thathohnah loh a ngaih bangla a dueng sak.
5Even so the tongue is indeed a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold how small a fire kindleth a great wood.
5Lai khaw a pumrho a yit la om dae muep hoem van. Hmai pom loh duup puei a dom coeng ke.
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.
6Lai tah hmai ni, boethae kah Diklai ni. Lai tah mamih pumrho lamkah hmoel uh coeng. Te long te pum tom a nook tih, a rhuirhong a yung a pa te a hlup tih hell neh a hoeh.
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:
7Satlung neh vaa kah a hui boeih, rhulcai neh tuisu khaw a mong vanbangla hlanghing coengnah te khaw a mong sak.
8But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.
8Tedae lai he hlang kah a mong sak thai koi moenih. Boethae likloek, duek sue hoeng ni.
9By it we bless God and the Father: and by it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God.
9Te nen te Boeipa neh pa te ng'uem uh tih, te nen Pathen kah suisak la a saii hlang rhoek te thae m'phoei uh.
10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
10Ka amah lamkah yoethennah neh rhunkhuennah khaw thoeng. Ka manuca rhoek, a tueng pawt lam ni a om tangkuet te.
11Doth a fountain send forth, out of the same hole, sweet and bitter water?
11Tuisih te a khui pakhat lamloh a didip neh a thanghap phuet sak pawt maco.
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear grapes; or the vine, figs? So neither can the salt water yield sweet.
12Ka manuca rhoek, thaibu loh olive, misur loh thaibu cuen sak thai pawt maco. A al loh tui te didip la a poeh sak moenih.
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.
13Nangmih khuiah, aka cueih tih aka thaai te unim? A bisai te omih then neh, cueihnah te muelhtuetnah neh tueng sak saeh.
14But if you have bitter zeal, and there be contentions in your hearts; glory not, and be not liars against the truth.
14Na thinko khuiah thatlainah a thanghap neh koevoeinah na khueh uh atah, oltak te na koevoei thil, na laithae uh thil moenih a?
15For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish.
15Tekah cueihnah tah a so lamkah aka suntla la om pawt tih, diklai rhaithae kah a coengnah ni.
16For where envying and contention is, there is inconstancy, and every evil work.
16Thatlainah neh koevoeinah a om nah ah soekloeknah neh hno thae cungkuem om.
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.
17Tedae a so lamkah cueihnah tah lamhma tih cuem, te dongah ngaimong la, kodo la, mongkawt la om. Rhennah thaih then neh baetawt tih hmantang ah tangyah pawh.
18And the fruit of justice is sown in peace, to them that make peace.
18Duengnah kah a thaih tah rhoepnah neh aka tuh long ni rhoepnah a saii.
