Jakobs brev 3

Den elaka tungan
3 (A) Mina bröder, inte många av er bör bli lärare. Ni vet ju att vi ska få en strängare dom. 2 (B) Vi begår alla många fel. Om någon är felfri i sitt tal är han en fullkomlig man som också kan tygla hela sin kropp. 3 När vi lägger betsel i munnen på en häst för att han ska lyda oss styr vi också hela hans kropp. 4 Se också på fartygen, som är så stora och drivs av hårda vindar. Ändå styrs de med ett litet roder dit rorsmannen vill.
5 (C) På samma sätt är tungan en liten lem som kan skryta stort. Tänk på hur en liten eld kan sätta en stor skog i brand. 6 (D) Och tungan är en eld, en värld av ondska bland våra lemmar. Den smutsar ner hela vår kropp och sätter hela livet[a] i brand och får själv sin eld från Gehenna[b].
7 Alla slags fyrfotadjur, fåglar, kräldjur och vattendjur låter sig tämjas och har blivit tämjda av människan. 8 (E) Men tungan kan ingen människa tämja, den är ostyrig och ond och full av dödligt gift. 9 (F) Med den välsignar vi Herren och Fadern, och med den förbannar vi människor som är skapade till Guds avbild. 10 (G) Från samma mun kommer välsignelse och förbannelse. Så får det inte vara, mina bröder. 11 En källa kan väl inte från samma åder ge både sött och bittert vatten? 12 (H) Mina bröder, ett fikonträd kan väl inte ge oliver eller en vinstock ge fikon? Inte heller kan en salt källa ge sött vatten.
Sann och falsk visdom
13 (I) Är någon av er vis och förståndig, då ska han visa sina gärningar genom ett klokt, vänligt och gott uppträdande. 14 Men bär ni bitter avund och rivalitet[c] i ert hjärta, ska ni inte skryta och ljuga i strid mot sanningen. 15 (J) En sådan "vishet" kommer inte från ovan utan är jordisk, oandlig[d], demonisk. 16 (K) För där det finns avund och rivalitet, där finns också oordning och all slags ondska.
17 Men visheten från ovan är först och främst ren, dessutom fredlig, mild, följsam, full av barmhärtighet och goda frukter, opartisk[e] och uppriktig. 18 (L) Rättfärdighetens frukt sås i frid och ges åt dem som skapar frid.

3 Братия мои! не многие делайтесь учителями, зная, что мы подвергнемся большему осуждению,
2 ибо все мы много согрешаем. Кто не согрешает в слове, тот человек совершенный, могущий обуздать и все тело.
3 Вот, мы влагаем удила в рот коням, чтобы они повиновались нам, и управляем всем телом их.
4 Вот, и корабли, как ни велики они и как ни сильными ветрами носятся, небольшим рулем направляются, куда хочет кормчий;
5 так и язык--небольшой член, но много делает. Посмотри, небольшой огонь как много вещества зажигает!
6 И язык--огонь, прикраса неправды; язык в таком положении находится между членами нашими, что оскверняет все тело и воспаляет круг жизни, будучи сам воспаляем от геенны.
7 Ибо всякое естество зверей и птиц, пресмыкающихся и морских животных укрощается и укрощено естеством человеческим,
8 а язык укротить никто из людей не может: это--неудержимое зло; он исполнен смертоносного яда.
9 Им благословляем Бога и Отца, и им проклинаем человеков, сотворенных по подобию Божию.
10 Из тех же уст исходит благословение и проклятие: не должно, братия мои, сему так быть.
11 Течет ли из одного отверстия источника сладкая и горькая [вода]?
12 Не может, братия мои, смоковница приносить маслины или виноградная лоза смоквы. Также и один источник не [может] изливать соленую и сладкую воду.
13 Мудр ли и разумен кто из вас, докажи это на самом деле добрым поведением с мудрою кротостью.
14 Но если в вашем сердце вы имеете горькую зависть и сварливость, то не хвалитесь и не лгите на истину.
15 Это не есть мудрость, нисходящая свыше, но земная, душевная, бесовская,
16 ибо где зависть и сварливость, там неустройство и всё худое.
17 Но мудрость, сходящая свыше, во-первых, чиста, потом мирна, скромна, послушлива, полна милосердия и добрых плодов, беспристрастна и нелицемерна.
18 Плод же правды в мире сеется у тех, которые хранят мир.

The Untamable Tongue
3 My brethren, (A)let not many of you become teachers, (B)knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For (C)we all stumble in many things. (D)If anyone does not stumble in word, (E)he is a [a]perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 [b]Indeed, (F)we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so (G)the tongue is a little member and (H)boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And (I)the tongue is a fire, a world of [c]iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it (J)defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of [d]nature; and it is set on fire by [e]hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, (K)full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made (L)in the [f]similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a (M)fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? [g]Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom
13 (N)Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have (O)bitter envy and [h]self-seeking in your hearts, (P)do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 (Q)This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For (R)where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But (S)the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, (T)without partiality (U)and without hypocrisy. 18 (V)Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

King James Version
3 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.

Taming the Tongue
3 Not many of you should become teachers,(A) my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged(B) more strictly.(C) 2 We all stumble(D) in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say(E) is perfect,(F) able to keep their whole body in check.(G)
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.(H) 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.(I) Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire,(J) a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body,(K) sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.(L)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.(M)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.(N) 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?(O) Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it(P) by their good life, by deeds(Q) done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(R) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(S) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(T) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(U) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(V) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(W) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(X) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(Y) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(Z) 18 Peacemakers(AA) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(AB)
