New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 3 1 | Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness. | The Tongue Jas.3.1-12 | Μὴ πολλοὶ διδάσκαλοι γίνεσθε, ἀδελφοί μου, εἰδότες ὅτι μεῖζον κρίμα λημψόμεθα. |
|
| 2 | For we all make many mistakes, and if anyone makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. | | πολλὰ γὰρ πταίομεν ἀπαντες. εἰ τις ἐν λόγῳ οὐ πταίει, οὗτος τέλειος ἀνήρ, δυνατὸς χαλιναγωγῆσαι καὶ ὁλον τὸ σῶμα. |
|
| 3 | If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies. | | εἰ δὲ τῶν ἱππων τοὺς χαλινοὺς εἰς τὰ στόματα βάλλομεν εἰς τὸ πείθεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἡμῖν, καὶ ὁλον τὸ σῶμα αὐτῶν μετάγομεν. |
|
| 4 | Look at the ships also; though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. | | ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ πλοῖα, τηλικαῦτα ὀντα καὶ ὑπὸ ἀνέμων σκληρῶν ἐλαυνόμενα, μετάγεται ὑπὸ ἐλαχίστου πηδαλίου ὁπου ἡ ὁρμὴ τοῦ εὐθύνοντος βούλεται· |
|
| 5 | So the tongue is a little member and boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by a small fire! | | οὑτως καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα μικρὸν μέλος ἐστὶν καὶ μεγάλα αὐχεῖ. Ἰδοὺ ἡλίκον πῦρ ἡλίκην ὑλην ἀνάπτει· |
|
| 6 | And the tongue is a fire. The tongue is an unrighteous world among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the cycle of nature, and set on fire by hell. | | καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ, ὁ κόσμος τῆς ἀδικίας, ἡ γλῶσσα καθίσταται ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν, ἡ σπιλοῦσα ὁλον τὸ σῶμα καὶ φλογίζουσα τὸν τροχὸν τῆς γενέσεως καὶ φλογιζομένη ὑπὸ τῆς γεέννης. |
|
| 7 | For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by humankind, | | πᾶσα γὰρ φύσις θηρίων τε καὶ πετεινῶν ἑρπετῶν τε καὶ ἐναλίων δαμάζεται καὶ δεδάμασται τῇ φύσει τῇ ἄνθρωπίνῃ· |
|
| 8 | but no human being can tame the tongue - a restless evil, full of deadly poison. | | τὴν δὲ γλῶσσαν οὐδεὶς δαμάσαι δύναται ἀνθρώπων· ἀκατάστατον κακόν, μεστὴ ἰοῦ θανατηφόρου. |
|
| 9 | With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the likeness of God. | | ἐν αὐτῇ εὐλογοῦμεν τὸν κύριον καὶ πατέρα, καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ καταρώμεθα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθ' ὁμοίωσιν θεοῦ γεγονότας· |
|
| 10 | From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brethren, this ought not to be so. | | ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ στόματος ἐξέρχεται εὐλογία καὶ κατάρα. οὐ χρή, ἀδελφοί μου, ταῦτα οὑτως γίνεσθαι. |
|
| 11 | Does a spring pour forth from the same opening fresh water and brackish? | | μήτι ἡ πηγὴ ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς ὀπῆς βρύει τὸ γλυκὺ καὶ τὸ πικρόν; |
|
| 12 | Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a grapevine figs? No more can salt water yield fresh. | | μὴ δύναται, ἀδελφοί μου, συκῆ ἐλαίας ποιῆσαι ἢ ἀμπελος σῦκὰ οὐτε ἀλυκὸν γλυκὺ ποιῆσαι ὑδωρ. |
