James 2
1 My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord of glory, Jesus Christ, with respect of persons.
ཧེ མམ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡཱུཡམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཏེཛསྭིནཿ པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ དྷརྨྨཾ མུཁཱཔེཀྵཡཱ ན དྷཱརཡཏ།
2 For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring, in splendid apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment,
ཡཏོ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སབྷཱཡཱཾ སྭརྞཱངྒུརཱིཡཀཡུཀྟེ བྷྲཱཛིཥྞུཔརིཙྪདེ པུརུཥེ པྲཝིཥྚེ མལིནཝསྟྲེ ཀསྨིཾཤྩིད྄ དརིདྲེ྅པི པྲཝིཥྚེ
3 and ye have respect to him that weareth the splendid apparel, and say, Sit thou here in a good place, and say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or, Sit under my footstool,
ཡཱུཡཾ ཡདི ཏཾ བྷྲཱཛིཥྞུཔརིཙྪདཝསཱནཾ ཛནཾ ནིརཱིཀྵྱ ཝདེཏ བྷཝཱན྄ ཨཏྲོཏྟམསྠཱན ཨུཔཝིཤཏྭིཏི ཀིཉྩ ཏཾ དརིདྲཾ ཡདི ཝདེཏ ཏྭམ྄ ཨམུསྨིན྄ སྠཱནེ ཏིཥྛ ཡདྭཱཏྲ མམ པཱདཔཱིཋ ཨུཔཝིཤེཏི,
4 have ye not been partial among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
ཏརྷི མནཿསུ ཝིཤེཥྱ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིཾ ཀུཏརྐཻཿ ཀུཝིཙཱརཀཱ ན བྷཝཐ?
5 Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to the world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
ཧེ མམ པྲིཡབྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཤྲྀཎུཏ, སཾསཱརེ ཡེ དརིདྲཱསྟཱན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཝིཤྭཱསེན དྷནིནཿ སྭཔྲེམཀཱརིབྷྱཤྩ པྲཏིཤྲུཏསྱ རཱཛྱསྱཱདྷིཀཱརིཎཿ ཀརྟྟུཾ ཀིཾ ན ཝརཱིཏཝཱན྄? ཀིནྟུ དརིདྲོ ཡུཥྨཱབྷིརཝཛྙཱཡཏེ།
6 but ye have despised the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and do not they drag you before the judgment-seats?
དྷནཝནྟ ཨེཝ ཀིཾ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ནོཔདྲཝནྟི བལཱཙྩ ཝིཙཱརཱསནཱནཱཾ སམཱིཔཾ ན ནཡནྟི?
7 Do not they blaspheme the worthy name by which ye are called?
ཡུཥྨདུཔརི པརིཀཱིརྟྟིཏཾ པརམཾ ནཱམ ཀིཾ ཏཻརེཝ ན ནིནྡྱཏེ?
8 If indeed ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” ye do well.
ཀིཉྩ ཏྭཾ སྭསམཱིཔཝཱསིནི སྭཱཏྨཝཏ྄ པྲཱིཡསྭ, ཨེཏཙྪཱསྟྲཱིཡཝཙནཱནུསཱརཏོ ཡདི ཡཱུཡཾ རཱཛཀཱིཡཝྱཝསྠཱཾ པཱལཡཐ ཏརྷི བྷདྲཾ ཀུརུཐ།
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
ཡདི ཙ མུཁཱཔེཀྵཱཾ ཀུརུཐ ཏརྷི པཱཔམ྄ ཨཱཙརཐ ཝྱཝསྠཡཱ ཙཱཛྙཱལངྒྷིན ཨིཝ དཱུཥྱདྷྭེ།
10 For whoever hath kept the whole law, and yet hath offended in one point, hath become guilty of all.
ཡཏོ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ ཀྲྀཏྶྣཱཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱཾ པཱལཡཏི ས ཡདྱེཀསྨིན྄ ཝིདྷཽ སྑལཏི ཏརྷི སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨཔརཱདྷཱི བྷཝཏི།
11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” said also, “Do not kill.” Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.
ཡཏོ ཧེཏོསྟྭཾ པརདཱརཱན྄ མཱ གཙྪེཏི ཡཿ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ས ཨེཝ ནརཧཏྱཱཾ མཱ ཀུཪྻྱཱ ཨིཏྱཔི ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏྭཾ པརདཱརཱན྄ ན གཏྭཱ ཡདི ནརཧཏྱཱཾ ཀརོཥི ཏརྷི ཝྱཝསྠཱལངྒྷཱི བྷཝསི།
12 So speak, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
མུཀྟེ ཪྻྱཝསྠཱཏོ ཡེཥཱཾ ཝིཙཱརེཎ བྷཝིཏཝྱཾ ཏཱདྲྀཤཱ ལོཀཱ ཨིཝ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡཏ ཀརྨྨ ཀུརུཏ ཙ།
13 For the judgment shall be without mercy to him that showed no mercy. Mercy glorieth against judgment.
ཡོ དཡཱཾ ནཱཙརཏི ཏསྱ ཝིཙཱརོ ནིརྡྡཡེན ཀཱརིཥྱཏེ, ཀིནྟུ དཡཱ ཝིཙཱརམ྄ ཨབྷིབྷཝིཥྱཏི།
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, if any one say that he hath faith, and have not works? Can his faith save him?
ཧེ མམ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, མམ པྲཏྱཡོ྅སྟཱིཏི ཡཿ ཀཐཡཏི ཏསྱ ཀརྨྨཱཎི ཡདི ན ཝིདྱནྟ ཏརྷི ཏེན ཀིཾ ཕལཾ? ཏེན པྲཏྱཡེན ཀིཾ ཏསྱ པརིཏྲཱཎཾ བྷཝིཏུཾ ཤཀྣོཏི?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
ཀེཥུཙིད྄ བྷྲཱཏྲྀཥུ བྷགིནཱིཥུ ཝཱ ཝསནཧཱིནེཥུ པྲཱཏྱཧིཀཱཧཱརཧཱིནེཥུ ཙ སཏྶུ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀོ྅པི ཏེབྷྱཿ ཤརཱིརཱརྠཾ པྲཡོཛནཱིཡཱནི དྲཝྱཱཎི ན དཏྭཱ ཡདི ཏཱན྄ ཝདེཏ྄,
16 and one of you say to them, Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled, notwithstanding ye give them not the things needful for the body, what doth it profit?
ཡཱུཡཾ སཀུཤལཾ གཏྭོཥྞགཱཏྲཱ བྷཝཏ ཏྲྀཔྱཏ ཙེཏི ཏརྷྱེཏེན ཀིཾ ཕལཾ?
17 So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.
ཏདྭཏ྄ པྲཏྱཡོ ཡདི ཀརྨྨབྷི ཪྻུཀྟོ ན བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏརྷྱེཀཱཀིཏྭཱཏ྄ མྲྀཏ ཨེཝཱསྟེ།
18 But some one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; show me thy faith without works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
ཀིཉྩ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨིདཾ ཝདིཥྱཏི ཏཝ པྲཏྱཡོ ཝིདྱཏེ མམ ཙ ཀརྨྨཱཎི ཝིདྱནྟེ, ཏྭཾ ཀརྨྨཧཱིནཾ སྭཔྲཏྱཡཾ མཱཾ དརྴཡ ཏརྷྱཧམཔི མཏྐརྨྨབྷྱཿ སྭཔྲཏྱཡཾ ཏྭཱཾ དརྴཡིཥྱཱམི།
19 Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well; the demons also believe, and tremble.
ཨེཀ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ྅སྟཱིཏི ཏྭཾ པྲཏྱེཥི། བྷདྲཾ ཀརོཥི། བྷཱུཏཱ ཨཔི ཏཏ྄ པྲཏིཡནྟི ཀམྤནྟེ ཙ།
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?
ཀིནྟུ ཧེ ནིརྦྦོདྷམཱནཝ, ཀརྨྨཧཱིནཿ པྲཏྱཡོ མྲྀཏ ཨེཝཱསྟྱེཏད྄ ཨཝགནྟུཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨིཙྪསི?
21 Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
ཨསྨཱཀཾ པཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥོ ཡ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ སྭཔུཏྲམ྄ ཨིསྷཱཀཾ ཡཛྙཝེདྱཱམ྄ ཨུཏྶྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ ས ཀིཾ ཀརྨྨབྷྱོ ན སཔུཎྱཱིཀྲྀཏཿ?
22 Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.
པྲཏྱཡེ ཏསྱ ཀརྨྨཎཱཾ སཧཀཱརིཎི ཛཱཏེ ཀརྨྨབྷིཿ པྲཏྱཡཿ སིདྡྷོ ྅བྷཝཏ྄ ཏཏ྄ ཀིཾ པཤྱསི?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, “Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;” and he was called the friend of God.
ཨིཏྠཉྩེདཾ ཤཱསྟྲཱིཡཝཙནཾ སཕལམ྄ ཨབྷཝཏ྄, ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ྄ པརམེཤྭརེ ཝིཤྭསིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཙྩ ཏསྱ པུཎྱཱཡཱགཎྱཏ ས ཙེཤྭརསྱ མིཏྲ ཨིཏི ནཱམ ལབྡྷཝཱན྄།
24 Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only.
པཤྱཏ མཱནཝཿ ཀརྨྨབྷྱཿ སཔུཎྱཱིཀྲིཡཏེ ན ཙཻཀཱཀིནཱ པྲཏྱཡེན།
25 And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
ཏདྭད྄ ཡཱ རཱཧབྣཱམིཀཱ ཝཱརཱངྒནཱ ཙཱརཱན྄ ཨནུགྲྀཧྱཱཔརེཎ མཱརྒེཎ ཝིསསརྫ སཱཔི ཀིཾ ཀརྨྨབྷྱོ ན སཔུཎྱཱིཀྲྀཏཱ?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
ཨཏཨེཝཱཏྨཧཱིནོ དེཧོ ཡཐཱ མྲྀཏོ྅སྟི ཏཐཻཝ ཀརྨྨཧཱིནཿ པྲཏྱཡོ྅པི མྲྀཏོ྅སྟི།
