James 1
1 James, bondman of God and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which [are] in the dispersion, greeting.
ii"svarasya prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya ca daaso yaakuub vikiir. niibhuutaan dvaada"sa. m va. m"saan prati namask. rtya patra. m likhati|
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations,
he mama bhraatara. h, yuuya. m yadaa bahuvidhapariik. saa. su nipatata tadaa tat puur. naanandasya kaara. na. m manyadhva. m|
3 knowing that the proving of your faith works endurance.
yato yu. smaaka. m vi"svaasasya pariik. sitatvena dhairyya. m sampaadyata iti jaaniitha|
4 But let endurance have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
tacca dhairyya. m siddhaphala. m bhavatu tena yuuya. m siddhaa. h sampuur. naa"sca bhavi. syatha kasyaapi gu. nasyaabhaava"sca yu. smaaka. m na bhavi. syati|
5 But if any one of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all freely and reproaches not, and it shall be given to him:
yu. smaaka. m kasyaapi j naanaabhaavo yadi bhavet tarhi ya ii"svara. h saralabhaavena tiraskaara nca vinaa sarvvebhyo dadaati tata. h sa yaacataa. m tatastasmai daayi. syate|
6 but let him ask in faith, nothing doubting. For he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed about;
kintu sa ni. hsandeha. h san vi"svaasena yaacataa. m yata. h sandigdho maanavo vaayunaa caalitasyotplavamaanasya ca samudratara"ngasya sad. r"so bhavati|
7 for let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;
taad. r"so maanava. h prabho. h ki ncit praapsyatiiti na manyataa. m|
8 [he is] a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
dvimanaa loka. h sarvvagati. su ca ncalo bhavati|
9 But let the brother of low degree glory in his elevation,
yo bhraataa namra. h sa nijonnatyaa "slaaghataa. m|
10 and the rich in his humiliation, because as [the] grass's flower he will pass away.
ya"sca dhanavaan sa nijanamratayaa "slaaghataa. myata. h sa t. r.napu. spavat k. saya. m gami. syati|
11 For the sun has risen with its burning heat, and has withered the grass, and its flower has fallen, and the comeliness of its look has perished: thus the rich also shall wither in his goings.
yata. h sataapena suuryye. noditya t. r.na. m "so. syate tatpu. spa nca bhra"syati tena tasya ruupasya saundaryya. m na"syati tadvad dhaniloko. api sviiyamuu. dhatayaa mlaasyati|
12 Blessed [is the] man who endures temptation; for, having been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which He has promised to them that love him.
yo jana. h pariik. saa. m sahate sa eva dhanya. h, yata. h pariik. sitatva. m praapya sa prabhunaa svapremakaaribhya. h pratij naata. m jiivanamuku. ta. m lapsyate|
13 Let no man, being tempted, say, I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted by evil things, and himself tempts no one.
ii"svaro maa. m pariik. sata iti pariik. saasamaye ko. api na vadatu yata. h paapaaye"svarasya pariik. saa na bhavati sa ca kamapi na pariik. sate|
14 But every one is tempted, drawn away, and enticed by his own lust;
kintu ya. h ka"scit sviiyamanovaa nchayaak. r.syate lobhyate ca tasyaiva pariik. saa bhavati|
15 then lust, having conceived, gives birth to sin; but sin fully completed brings forth death.
tasmaat saa manovaa nchaa sagarbhaa bhuutvaa du. sk. rti. m prasuute du. sk. rti"sca pari. naama. m gatvaa m. rtyu. m janayati|
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
he mama priyabhraatara. h, yuuya. m na bhraamyata|
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation nor shadow of turning.
yat ki ncid uttama. m daana. m puur. no vara"sca tat sarvvam uurddhvaad arthato yasmin da"saantara. m parivarttanajaatacchaayaa vaa naasti tasmaad diiptyaakaraat pituravarohati|
18 According to his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a certain first-fruits of his creatures.
tasya s. r.s. tavastuunaa. m madhye vaya. m yat prathamaphalasvaruupaa bhavaamastadartha. m sa svecchaata. h satyamatasya vaakyenaasmaan janayaamaasa|
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
ataeva he mama priyabhraatara. h, yu. smaakam ekaiko jana. h "srava. ne tvarita. h kathane dhiira. h krodhe. api dhiiro bhavatu|
20 for man's wrath does not work God's righteousness.
yato maanavasya krodha ii"svariiyadharmma. m na saadhayati|
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
ato heto ryuuya. m sarvvaam a"sucikriyaa. m du. s.tataabaahulya nca nik. sipya yu. smanmanasaa. m paritraa. ne samartha. m ropita. m vaakya. m namrabhaavena g. rhliita|
22 But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.
apara nca yuuya. m kevalam aatmava ncayitaaro vaakyasya "srotaaro na bhavata kintu vaakyasya karmmakaari. no bhavata|
23 For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:
yato ya. h ka"scid vaakyasya karmmakaarii na bhuutvaa kevala. m tasya "srotaa bhavati sa darpa. ne sviiya"saariirikavadana. m niriik. samaa. nasya manujasya sad. r"sa. h|
24 for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.
aatmaakaare d. r.s. te sa prasthaaya kiid. r"sa aasiit tat tatk. sa. naad vismarati|
25 But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
kintu ya. h ka"scit natvaa mukte. h siddhaa. m vyavasthaam aalokya ti. s.thati sa vism. rtiyukta. h "srotaa na bhuutvaa karmmakarttaiva san svakaaryye dhanyo bhavi. syati|
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
anaayattarasana. h san ya. h ka"scit svamano va ncayitvaa sva. m bhakta. m manyate tasya bhakti rmudhaa bhavati|
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
kle"sakaale pit. rhiinaanaa. m vidhavaanaa nca yad avek. sa. na. m sa. msaaraacca ni. skala"nkena yad aatmarak. sa. na. m tadeva piturii"svarasya saak. saat "suci rnirmmalaa ca bhakti. h|
