1Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, in tia pus suwos weang mwet luti, tuh kowos etu lah kut mwet luti uh fah nununkeyuk upa liki mwet ngia.
1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
2Kut nukewa tafongla pacl puspis. Tusruktu fin oasr mwet tia tafongla ke kas lal, el sie mwet suwohs su ku in leumi manol nufon.
2We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.
3Kut kapriya mwe kuhf se nu in oalin horse uh in sang kifasul elan akos kut ac fahsr nu yen kut lungse fahsr nu we.
3When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.
4Nunku pac ke oak nes lulap uh, finne yohk ac el kasrusr ke eng upa uh, ac ku in kifusyuk ke kitin ikwik na srisrik, ac ku in kasrusr nu kutena acn ma captain el lungse in som nu we.
4Consider ships as well. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot is inclined.
5Ouinge loh uh: ma na srisrik se, a el ku in konkin ke ma lulap. Nunku ke insak na lulap se ac ku in firirla ke kitin firir na srisrik!
5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.
6Ac loh uh el oana sie e. El oana sie faclu ma sessesla ke ma sutuu, su oan in manosr ac osralik ma koluk in manosr nufon. El ku in furreak moul lasr nufon ke sie e na ngeng ma tuku in hell me.
6The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
7Ku in akmunayeyuk kain in kosro nukewa, ac mwet uh akmunaye tari kosro lemnak ac won, ma orakrak ac ik.
7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
8Tusruktu soenna oasr sie mwet ku in akmunaye loh uh — ma na koluk se ac koflana kifusyukla, sessesla ke pwasin in misa.
8but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9Kut orekmakin loh uh in sang kulo nu sin Leum ac Papa tumasr, ac oayapa in selngawi mwet wiasr, su orekla in lemluman God.
9With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
10Kas in sang kulo ac kas in selnga tukeni illa liki oalu sefanna. Mwet wiuk, tiana wo in ouinge!
10Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!
11Kof loslos ac kof taek tia ku in tukeni sororme liki unon in kof sefanna.
11Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
12Mwet lulalfongi wiuk, sak fig soko tia ku in fokla tuh olive pa fahko, ac oa in grape tia ku in fokla tuh fig pa fahko uh. Unon in kof kifinte tia ku in use kofonot.
12My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
13Ya oasr sie inmasrlowos su oasr etauk ac lalmwetmet yoro? Elan akpwayei ke moul wo lal, ac ke orekma wo el orala ke inse pusisel ac lalmwetmet.
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
14Tusruktu insiom fin sessesla ke sok, srunga, ac nunku kac sifacna, nik kom orekma koluk in kisrung ma pwaye ke kom konkin lalmwetmet lom.
14But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.
15Lalmwetmet ouinge tia ma tuku lucng me, a ma lun faclu — tia ma lun ngun, a ma lun Devil.
15Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
16Yen ma oasr sok ac nunku kac sifacna we, fohs ac kain in ma koluk nukewa oasr pac we.
16For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.
17Ma se meet ke lalmwetmet lucng me uh pa nasnas; el oayapa misla, okak, ac kulang; sessesla ke pakoten ac fahko wo puspis; wangin srisri ac kutasrik.
17But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.
18Mwet iwe elos yukwiya fita lun misla, na elos ac fah kosrani fahko lun misla, su pa suwoswos.
18Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
