< James 1 >

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes of the Dispersion: Greetings.
اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ چَ داسو یاکُوبْ وِکِیرْنِیبھُوتانْ دْوادَشَں وَںشانْ پْرَتِ نَمَسْکرِتْیَ پَتْرَں لِکھَتِ۔
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you encounter trials of many kinds,
ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، یُویَں یَدا بَہُوِدھَپَرِیکْشاشُ نِپَتَتَ تَدا تَتْ پُورْنانَنْدَسْیَ کارَنَں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔
3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
یَتو یُشْماکَں وِشْواسَسْیَ پَرِیکْشِتَتْوینَ دھَیرْیَّں سَمْپادْیَتَ اِتِ جانِیتھَ۔
4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
تَچَّ دھَیرْیَّں سِدّھَپھَلَں بھَوَتُ تینَ یُویَں سِدّھاح سَمْپُورْناشْچَ بھَوِشْیَتھَ کَسْیاپِ گُنَسْیابھاوَشْچَ یُشْماکَں نَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
یُشْماکَں کَسْیاپِ جْنانابھاوو یَدِ بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَرَلَبھاوینَ تِرَسْکارَنْچَ وِنا سَرْوّیبھْیو دَداتِ تَتَح سَ یاچَتاں تَتَسْتَسْمَے دایِشْیَتے۔
6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
کِنْتُ سَ نِحسَنْدیہَح سَنْ وِشْواسینَ یاچَتاں یَتَح سَنْدِگْدھو مانَوو وایُنا چالِتَسْیوتْپْلَوَمانَسْیَ چَ سَمُدْرَتَرَنْگَسْیَ سَدرِشو بھَوَتِ۔
7 That man should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
تادرِشو مانَوَح پْرَبھوح کِنْچِتْ پْراپْسْیَتِیتِ نَ مَنْیَتاں۔
8 He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
دْوِمَنا لوکَح سَرْوَّگَتِشُ چَنْچَلو بھَوَتِ۔
9 The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.
یو بھْراتا نَمْرَح سَ نِجونَّتْیا شْلاگھَتاں۔
10 But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.
یَشْچَ دھَنَوانْ سَ نِجَنَمْرَتَیا شْلاگھَتاںیَتَح سَ ترِنَپُشْپَوَتْ کْشَیَں گَمِشْیَتِ۔
11 For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its flower falls and its beauty is lost. So too, the rich man will fade away in the midst of his pursuits.
یَتَح سَتاپینَ سُورْیّینودِتْیَ ترِنَں شوشْیَتے تَتْپُشْپَنْچَ بھْرَشْیَتِ تینَ تَسْیَ رُوپَسْیَ سَونْدَرْیَّں نَشْیَتِ تَدْوَدْ دھَنِلوکوپِ سْوِییَمُوڈھَتَیا مْلاسْیَتِ۔
12 Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
یو جَنَح پَرِیکْشاں سَہَتے سَ ایوَ دھَنْیَح، یَتَح پَرِیکْشِتَتْوَں پْراپْیَ سَ پْرَبھُنا سْوَپْریمَکارِبھْیَح پْرَتِجْناتَں جِیوَنَمُکُٹَں لَپْسْیَتے۔
13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He tempt anyone.
اِیشْوَرو ماں پَرِیکْشَتَ اِتِ پَرِیکْشاسَمَیے کوپِ نَ وَدَتُ یَتَح پاپاییشْوَرَسْیَ پَرِیکْشا نَ بھَوَتِ سَ چَ کَمَپِ نَ پَرِیکْشَتے۔
14 But each one is tempted when by his own evil desires he is lured away and enticed.
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَمَنووانْچھَیاکرِشْیَتے لوبھْیَتے چَ تَسْیَیوَ پَرِیکْشا بھَوَتِ۔
15 Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
تَسْماتْ سا مَنووانْچھا سَگَرْبھا بھُوتْوا دُشْکرِتِں پْرَسُوتے دُشْکرِتِشْچَ پَرِنامَں گَتْوا مرِتْیُں جَنَیَتِ۔
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُویَں نَ بھْرامْیَتَ۔
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, with whom there is no change or shifting shadow.
یَتْ کِنْچِدْ اُتَّمَں دانَں پُورْنو وَرَشْچَ تَتْ سَرْوَّمْ اُورْدّھوادْ اَرْتھَتو یَسْمِنْ دَشانْتَرَں پَرِوَرْتَّنَجاتَچّھایا وا ناسْتِ تَسْمادْ دِیپْتْیاکَراتْ پِتُرَوَروہَتِ۔
18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.
تَسْیَ سرِشْٹَوَسْتُوناں مَدھْیے وَیَں یَتْ پْرَتھَمَپھَلَسْوَرُوپا بھَوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْویچّھاتَح سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ واکْییناسْمانْ جَنَیاماسَ۔
19 My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
اَتَایوَ ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنَح شْرَوَنے تْوَرِتَح کَتھَنے دھِیرَح کْرودھےپِ دھِیرو بھَوَتُ۔
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.
یَتو مانَوَسْیَ کْرودھَ اِیشْوَرِییَدھَرْمَّں نَ سادھَیَتِ۔
21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.
اَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں سَرْوّامْ اَشُچِکْرِیاں دُشْٹَتاباہُلْیَنْچَ نِکْشِپْیَ یُشْمَنْمَنَساں پَرِتْرانے سَمَرْتھَں روپِتَں واکْیَں نَمْرَبھاوینَ گرِہْلِیتَ۔
22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
اَپَرَنْچَ یُویَں کیوَلَمْ آتْمَوَنْچَیِتارو واکْیَسْیَ شْروتارو نَ بھَوَتَ کِنْتُ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِنو بھَوَتَ۔
23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror,
یَتو یَح کَشْچِدْ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِی نَ بھُوتْوا کیوَلَں تَسْیَ شْروتا بھَوَتِ سَ دَرْپَنے سْوِییَشارِیرِکَوَدَنَں نِرِیکْشَمانَسْیَ مَنُجَسْیَ سَدرِشَح۔
24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
آتْماکارے درِشْٹے سَ پْرَسْتھایَ کِیدرِشَ آسِیتْ تَتْ تَتْکْشَنادْ وِسْمَرَتِ۔
25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ نَتْوا مُکْتیح سِدّھاں وْیَوَسْتھامْ آلوکْیَ تِشْٹھَتِ سَ وِسْمرِتِیُکْتَح شْروتا نَ بھُوتْوا کَرْمَّکَرْتَّیوَ سَنْ سْوَکارْیّے دھَنْیو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.
اَنایَتَّرَسَنَح سَنْ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمَنو وَنْچَیِتْوا سْوَں بھَکْتَں مَنْیَتے تَسْیَ بھَکْتِ رْمُدھا بھَوَتِ۔
27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
کْلیشَکالے پِترِہِیناناں وِدھَوانانْچَ یَدْ اَویکْشَنَں سَںساراچَّ نِشْکَلَنْکینَ یَدْ آتْمَرَکْشَنَں تَدیوَ پِتُرِیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشاتْ شُچِ رْنِرْمَّلا چَ بھَکْتِح۔
