James 5
1 Come now, you rich, weep and cry aloud for your miseries that are coming on you.
he dhanavantaH, yUyam idAnIM zRNuta yuSmAbhirAgamiSyatklezahetoH krandyatAM vilapyatAJca|
2 Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.
yuSmAkaM draviNaM jIrNaM kITabhuktAH sucelakAH|
3 Your gold and your silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.
kanakaM rajataJcApi vikRtiM pragamiSyati, tatkalaGkazca yuSmAkaM pApaM pramANayiSyati, hutAzavacca yuSmAkaM pizitaM khAdayiSyati| ittham antimaghasreSu yuSmAbhiH saJcitaM dhanaM|
4 Look, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
pazyata yaiH kRSIvalai ryuSmAkaM zasyAni chinnAni tebhyo yuSmAbhi ryad vetanaM chinnaM tad uccai rdhvaniM karoti teSAM zasyacchedakAnAm ArttarAvaH senApateH paramezvarasya karNakuharaM praviSTaH|
5 You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
yUyaM pRthivyAM sukhabhogaM kAmukatAJcAritavantaH, mahAbhojasya dina iva nijAntaHkaraNAni paritarpitavantazca|
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He does not resist you.
aparaJca yuSmAbhi rdhArmmikasya daNDAjJA hatyA cAkAri tathApi sa yuSmAn na pratiruddhavAn|
7 Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
he bhrAtaraH, yUyaM prabhorAgamanaM yAvad dhairyyamAlambadhvaM| pazyata kRSivalo bhUme rbahumUlyaM phalaM pratIkSamANo yAvat prathamam antimaJca vRSTijalaM na prApnoti tAvad dhairyyam Alambate|
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
yUyamapi dhairyyamAlambya svAntaHkaraNAni sthirIkuruta, yataH prabhorupasthitiH samIpavarttinyabhavat|
9 Do not grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won't be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door.
he bhrAtaraH, yUyaM yad daNDyA na bhaveta tadarthaM parasparaM na glAyata, pazyata vicArayitA dvArasamIpe tiSThati|
10 Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
he mama bhrAtaraH, ye bhaviSyadvAdinaH prabho rnAmnA bhASitavantastAn yUyaM duHkhasahanasya dhairyyasya ca dRSTAntAn jAnIta|
11 Look, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
pazyata dhairyyazIlA asmAbhi rdhanyA ucyante| AyUbo dhairyyaM yuSmAbhirazrAvi prabhoH pariNAmazcAdarzi yataH prabhu rbahukRpaH sakaruNazcAsti|
12 But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your "yes" be "yes," and your "no," "no;" so that you do not fall under judgment.
he bhrAtaraH vizeSata idaM vadAmi svargasya vA pRthivyA vAnyavastuno nAma gRhItvA yuSmAbhiH ko'pi zapatho na kriyatAM, kintu yathA daNDyA na bhavata tadarthaM yuSmAkaM tathaiva tannahi cetivAkyaM yatheSTaM bhavatu|
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.
yuSmAkaM kazcid duHkhI bhavati? sa prArthanAM karotu| kazcid vAnandito bhavati? sa gItaM gAyatu|
14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
yuSmAkaM kazcit pIDito 'sti? sa samiteH prAcInAn AhvAtu te ca pabho rnAmnA taM tailenAbhiSicya tasya kRte prArthanAM kurvvantu|
15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
tasmAd vizvAsajAtaprArthanayA sa rogI rakSAM yAsyati prabhuzca tam utthApayiSyati yadi ca kRtapApo bhavet tarhi sa taM kSamiSyate|
16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
yUyaM parasparam aparAdhAn aGgIkurudhvam ArogyaprAptyarthaJcaikajano 'nyasya kRte prArthanAM karotu dhArmmikasya sayatnA prArthanA bahuzaktiviziSTA bhavati|
17 Elijah was a human being with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
ya eliyo vayamiva sukhaduHkhabhogI marttya AsIt sa prArthanayAnAvRSTiM yAcitavAn tena deze sArddhavatsaratrayaM yAvad vRSTi rna babhUva|
18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.
pazcAt tena punaH prArthanAyAM kRtAyAm AkAzastoyAnyavarSIt pRthivI ca svaphalAni prArohayat|
19 My brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,
he bhrAtaraH, yuSmAkaM kasmiMzcit satyamatAd bhraSTe yadi kazcit taM parAvarttayati
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.
tarhi yo janaH pApinaM vipathabhramaNAt parAvarttayati sa tasyAtmAnaM mRtyuta uddhariSyati bahupApAnyAvariSyati ceti jAnAtu|
