James 4
1 From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members?
yuṣmākaṁ madhyē samarā raṇaśca kuta utpadyantē? yuṣmadaṅgaśibirāśritābhyaḥ sukhēcchābhyaḥ kiṁ nōtpadyantē?
2 Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not.
yūyaṁ vāñchatha kintu nāpnutha, yūyaṁ narahatyām īrṣyāñca kurutha kintu kr̥tārthā bhavituṁ na śaknutha, yūyaṁ yudhyatha raṇaṁ kurutha ca kintvaprāptāstiṣṭhatha, yatō hētōḥ prārthanāṁ na kurutha|
3 Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures.
yūyaṁ prārthayadhvē kintu na labhadhvē yatō hētōḥ svasukhabhōgēṣu vyayārthaṁ ku prārthayadhvē|
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God.
hē vyabhicāriṇō vyabhicāriṇyaśca, saṁsārasya yat maitryaṁ tad īśvarasya śātravamiti yūyaṁ kiṁ na jānītha? ata ēva yaḥ kaścit saṁsārasya mitraṁ bhavitum abhilaṣati sa ēvēśvarasya śatru rbhavati|
5 Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie?
yūyaṁ kiṁ manyadhvē? śāstrasya vākyaṁ kiṁ phalahīnaṁ bhavēt? asmadantarvāsī ya ātmā sa vā kim īrṣyārthaṁ prēma karōti?
6 But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble.
tannahi kintu sa pratulaṁ varaṁ vitarati tasmād uktamāstē yathā, ātmābhimānalōkānāṁ vipakṣō bhavatīśvaraḥ| kintu tēnaiva namrēbhyaḥ prasādād dīyatē varaḥ||
7 Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you.
ataēva yūyam īśvarasya vaśyā bhavata śayatānaṁ saṁrundha tēna sa yuṣmattaḥ palāyiṣyatē|
8 Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded.
īśvarasya samīpavarttinō bhavata tēna sa yuṣmākaṁ samīpavarttī bhaviṣyati| hē pāpinaḥ, yūyaṁ svakarān pariṣkurudhvaṁ| hē dvimanōlōkāḥ, yūyaṁ svāntaḥkaraṇāni śucīni kurudhvaṁ|
9 Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse.
yūyam udvijadhvaṁ śōcata vilapata ca, yuṣmākaṁ hāsaḥ śōkāya, ānandaśca kātaratāyai parivarttētāṁ|
10 Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp.
prabhōḥ samakṣaṁ namrā bhavata tasmāt sa yuṣmān uccīkariṣyati|
11 Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge.
hē bhrātaraḥ, yūyaṁ parasparaṁ mā dūṣayata| yaḥ kaścid bhrātaraṁ dūṣayati bhrātu rvicārañca karōti sa vyavasthāṁ dūṣayati vyavasthāyāśca vicāraṁ karōti| tvaṁ yadi vyavasthāyā vicāraṁ karōṣi tarhi vyavasthāpālayitā na bhavasi kintu vicārayitā bhavasi|
12 There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man?
advitīyō vyavasthāpakō vicārayitā ca sa ēvāstē yō rakṣituṁ nāśayituñca pārayati| kintu kastvaṁ yat parasya vicāraṁ karōṣi?
13 Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine,
adya śvō vā vayam amukanagaraṁ gatvā tatra varṣamēkaṁ yāpayantō vāṇijyaṁ kariṣyāmaḥ lābhaṁ prāpsyāmaścēti kathāṁ bhāṣamāṇā yūyam idānīṁ śr̥ṇuta|
14 (And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away)
śvaḥ kiṁ ghaṭiṣyatē tad yūyaṁ na jānītha yatō jīvanaṁ vō bhavēt kīdr̥k tattu bāṣpasvarūpakaṁ, kṣaṇamātraṁ bhavēd dr̥śyaṁ lupyatē ca tataḥ paraṁ|
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that.
tadanuktvā yuṣmākam idaṁ kathanīyaṁ prabhōricchātō vayaṁ yadi jīvāmastarhyētat karmma tat karmma vā kariṣyāma iti|
16 But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill.
kintvidānīṁ yūyaṁ garvvavākyaiḥ ślāghanaṁ kurudhvē tādr̥śaṁ sarvvaṁ ślāghanaṁ kutsitamēva|
17 Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne.
atō yaḥ kaścit satkarmma karttaṁ viditvā tanna karōti tasya pāpaṁ jāyatē|
