Chapter 3
1
Neka vas, braćo moja, ne bude mnogo učitelja! Ta znate: bit ćemo strože suđeni.
2
Doista, svi mnogo griješimo. Ako tko u govoru ne griješi, savršen je čovjek, vrstan zauzdati i cijelo tijelo.
3
Ubacimo li uzde u usta konjima da ih sebi upokorimo, upravljamo i cijelim tijelom njihovim.
4
Evo i lađa: tolike su i silni ih vjetrovi gone, a neznatno ih kormilo upravlja kamo kormilarova volja hoće.
5
Tako i jezik: malen je ud, a velikim se može ponositi. Evo: kolicna vatra koliku šumu zapali!
6
I jezik je vatra, svijet nepravda jezik je među našim udovima, kalja cijelo tijelo te, zapaljen od pakla, zapaljuje kotač života.
7
Doista, sav rod zvijeri i ptica, gmazova i morskih životinja dade se ukrotiti, i rod ih je ljudski ukrotio,
8
a jezik - zlo nemirno, pun otrova smrtonosnog - nitko od ljudi ne može ukrotiti.
9
Njime blagoslivljamo Gospodina i Oca, njime i proklinjemo ljude na sliku Božju stvorene:
10
iz istih usta izlazi blagoslov i prokletstvo. Ne smije se, braćo moja, tako događati!
11
Zar vrelo na isti otvor šiklja slatko i gorko?
12
Može li, braćo moja, smokva roditi maslinama ili trs smokvama? Ni slan izvor ne može dati slatke vode.
13
Je li tko mudar i razborit među vama? Neka dobrim življenjem pokaže svoja djela u mudroj blagosti.
14
Ako u srcu imate gorku zavist i svadljivost, ne uznosite se i ne lažite protiv istine!
15
Nije to mudrost koja odozgor silazi, nego zemaljska, ljudska, đavolska.
16
Ta gdje je zavist i svadljivost, ondje je nered i svako zlo djelo.
17
A mudrost odozgor ponajprije čista je, zatim mirotvorna, milostiva, poučljiva, puna milosrđa i dobrih plodova, postojana, nehinjena.
18
Plod se pak pravednosti u miru sije onima koji tvore mir.
James
Chapter 3
1
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
