1Moenie baie van julle leermeesters word nie, my broers en susters, want julle weet dat ons 'n groter oordeel sal ontvang.Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα·Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.2Want ons struikel almal baie. As iemand nie in woord struikel nie, is hy 'n volmaakte man, in staat om ook die hele liggaam te beteuel.πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἅπαντες. εἴ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα.We 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.3As ons nou die tooms in die perde se monde sit sodat hulle ons gehoorsaam, stuur ons ook hulle hele liggaam.aSommige manuskripte lees: Kyk, ons sit die tooms in die perde se monde sodat hulle ons gehoorsaam, en ons stuur hulle hele liggaam.⸂εἰ δὲ⸃ τῶν ἵππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν ⸀εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὅλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν.When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can guide the whole animal.4Kyk, ook die skepe, hoewel hulle so groot is en deur harde winde gedryf word, word deur 'n baie klein roer gestuur waarheen die drang van die een wat rig, wil.ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα, τηλικαῦτα ὄντα καὶ ὑπὸ ⸂ἀνέμων σκληρῶν⸃ ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὅπου ⸂ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούλεται⸃·Consider 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.5So is die tong ook 'n klein lid en spog dit met groot dinge. Kyk, hoe 'n groot vuur steek hoe 'n groot woud aan!aSommige manuskripte lees: Kyk, hoe 'n klein vuur steek hoe 'n groot woud aan!οὕτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ ⸂μεγάλα αὐχεῖ⸃. Ἰδοὺ ⸀ἡλίκον πῦρ ἡλίκην ὕλην ἀνάπτει·In 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.6En die tong is 'n vuur. Die tong is die wêreld van die ongeregtigheid; so is dit onder ons lede gestel, dit wat die hele liggaam besmet en die wiel van die ontstaan aan die brand steek en self deur die hel aan die brand gesteek word.aOf: die kringloop van die lewe.καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ, ὁ κόσμος τῆς ⸀ἀδικίας ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν, ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὅλον τὸ σῶμα καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης.The 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.7Want elke soort van wilde diere sowel as voëls, van kruipende diere sowel as seediere, word getem en is getem deur die menslike natuur.πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ·All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,8Maar die tong kan geen mens tem nie: 'n rustelose kwaad, vol dodelike gif.aSommige manuskripte lees: 'n onbedwingbare kwaadτὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς ⸂δαμάσαι δύναται ἀνθρώπων⸃· ⸀ἀκατάστατον κακόν, μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου.but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.9Daarmee seën ons die Here en Vader, en daarmee vloek ons die mense wat na die gelykenis van God gemaak is.aSommige manuskripte lees: God en Vader.ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν ⸀κύριον καὶ πατέρα, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθʼ ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας·With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.10Uit dieselfde mond kom seën en vloek. Dit behoort nie, my broers en susters, so te gebeur nie.ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα. οὐ χρή, ἀδελφοί μου, ταῦτα οὕτως γίνεσθαι.Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be!11Laat 'n fontein tog uit dieselfde opening die soet en die bitter opborrel?μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν;Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?12Kan 'n vyeboom, my broers en susters, olywe voortbring of 'n wingerdstok vye? Ook kan sout water nie soet water voortbring nie.aSommige manuskripte lees: So kan geen fontein sout en soet water gee nie.μὴ δύναται, ἀδελφοί μου, συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἄμπελος σῦκα; ⸂οὔτε ἁλυκὸν⸃ γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὕδωρ.My brothers, can a fig tree grow olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
13Wie is wys en verstandig onder julle? Laat hy uit die goeie lewenswandel sy werke wys in die sagmoedigheid van wysheid.Τίς σοφὸς καὶ ἐπιστήμων ἐν ὑμῖν; δειξάτω ἐκ τῆς καλῆς ἀναστροφῆς τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πραΰτητι σοφίας.Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.14Maar as julle bitter naywer en selfsug in julle hart het, moet julle nie roem en teen die waarheid lieg nie.εἰ δὲ ζῆλον πικρὸν ἔχετε καὶ ἐριθείαν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε κατὰ τῆς ἀληθείας.But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth.15Hierdie wysheid is nie een wat van bo af kom nie, maar is aards, sielsmatig, demonies.οὐκ ἔστιν αὕτη ἡ σοφία ἄνωθεν κατερχομένη, ἀλλὰ ἐπίγειος, ψυχική, δαιμονιώδης·Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.16Want waar naywer en selfsug is, daar is wanorde en elke slegte ding.ὅπου γὰρ ζῆλος καὶ ἐριθεία, ἐκεῖ ἀκαταστασία καὶ πᾶν φαῦλον πρᾶγμα.For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice.17Maar die wysheid van bo is eerstens rein, daarna vredeliewend, inskiklik, meegaand, vol barmhartigheid en goeie vrugte, onpartydig, ongeveins.aOf: sonder twyfel, ongeveins.ἡ δὲ ἄνωθεν σοφία πρῶτον μὲν ἁγνή ἐστιν, ἔπειτα εἰρηνική, ἐπιεικής, εὐπειθής, μεστὴ ἐλέους καὶ καρπῶν ἀγαθῶν, ⸀ἀδιάκριτος, ἀνυπόκριτος·But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.18En die vrug van geregtigheid word in vrede gesaai vir dié wat vrede maak.aOf: word in vrede gesaai deur dié wat vrede maak.καρπὸς ⸀δὲ δικαιοσύνης ἐν εἰρήνῃ σπείρεται τοῖς ποιοῦσιν εἰρήνην.Peacemakers who sow in peace reap the fruit of righteousness.
