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.

Runā jōir uzmaneigim.
1 Muni brōli, naesit lelā skaitā par mōceitōjim. Jyus zynot, ka mums (mōceitōjim) vajadzēs stōtīs bōrgōkas tīsas prīškā. 2 Ikvīns nu mums pakreit daudzōs lītōs. Bet kas runā napakreit, tys ir piļneigs cylvāks; tys ir spējeigs vysu mīsu saturēt grūžūs.
3 Jo mes zyrgim mutē līkam īmovus, lai jī myusu klauseitu, tad mes vodam vysu jūs mīsu. 4 Raug, arī kugi, lai gon ir leli un teik ar styprim vējim dzeiti, teik vadeiti ar nīceigu styuri, kur tikai vadeitōjs grib. 5 Tai pat arī mēle ir mozs lūceklis, bet saceļ lelas lītas.
Raug, nalela dzērkstele aizdadzynoj lelu mežu. 6 Arī mēle ir guņs. Jei ir nataisneibas pasauļs. Mēle atsarūn storp myusu lūceklim kai tys, kurs elnes aizdadzynōts, padora nateiru vysu mīsu un izceļ myusu dzeives ceļā guņsgrāku.
7 Cylvāks ir savaļdējis un savolda ikvīnu dzeivinīku un putnu, rōpuļu un yudiņa dzeivinīku sugu, 8 bet mēles, tō namīreigō ļaunuma, pōrpiļdeitō ar nōveigu indi, nivīns cylvāks savaļdeit naspēj.
9 Ar jū mes slavejam Kungu un Tāvu; ar jū mes lōžam cylvākus, kas ir radeiti pēc Dīva leidzeibas. 10 Nu tōs pošas mutes izīt svēteiba un lōsti. Bet tys, muni brōli, tai nadreikst byut. 11 Vai tad nu vīna un tō poša olūta dzeislas reizē tak ōrā soldons un ryugts (yudiņs)? 12 Muni brōli, vai tad figu kūks var dūt eleju, vai arī veina kūks figas? Sōļyudiņa olūts soldona yudiņa dūt navar.
13 Kas storp jums ir gudrs un saprateigs, tys sovus dorbus lai parōda pīmīleigā un klusā gudreibā un lobā izaturēšonā. 14 Bet jo jyusu sirdī ir ryugtō skaudeiba un nasadareiba, tad nasadižojit un namalojit patīseibas prīškā. 15 Taida gudreiba nanōk nu augstīnes, bet gon ir vērszemiska, mīseiga un veļniška. 16 Jo kur volda skaudeiba un nasadareiba, tur ir nakōrteiba un visi ļaunī dorbi. 17 Bet gudreiba, kas nōk nu augšīnes vyspyrms ir teira, tad ir mīrmīleiga, rōma, padeveiga, (lobam pīītama), žālsirdeibas un cytu lobu dorbu pylna; jei nav vīnpuseiga, nav arī līkuleiga. 18 Taisneibas augļus mīrā sēj tikai tī, kas poši ītur mīru.
