< James 1 >

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ چَ داسو یاکُوبْ وِکِیرْنِیبھُوتانْ دْوادَشَں وَںشانْ پْرَتِ نَمَسْکرِتْیَ پَتْرَں لِکھَتِ۔
2 Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into various temptations;
ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، یُویَں یَدا بَہُوِدھَپَرِیکْشاشُ نِپَتَتَ تَدا تَتْ پُورْنانَنْدَسْیَ کارَنَں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔
3 knowing that the trying of your faith worketh endurance.
یَتو یُشْماکَں وِشْواسَسْیَ پَرِیکْشِتَتْوینَ دھَیرْیَّں سَمْپادْیَتَ اِتِ جانِیتھَ۔
4 But let endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting in nothing.
تَچَّ دھَیرْیَّں سِدّھَپھَلَں بھَوَتُ تینَ یُویَں سِدّھاح سَمْپُورْناشْچَ بھَوِشْیَتھَ کَسْیاپِ گُنَسْیابھاوَشْچَ یُشْماکَں نَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
5 But if any one of you is wanting in wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it will be given him.
یُشْماکَں کَسْیاپِ جْنانابھاوو یَدِ بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَرَلَبھاوینَ تِرَسْکارَنْچَ وِنا سَرْوّیبھْیو دَداتِ تَتَح سَ یاچَتاں تَتَسْتَسْمَے دایِشْیَتے۔
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed.
کِنْتُ سَ نِحسَنْدیہَح سَنْ وِشْواسینَ یاچَتاں یَتَح سَنْدِگْدھو مانَوو وایُنا چالِتَسْیوتْپْلَوَمانَسْیَ چَ سَمُدْرَتَرَنْگَسْیَ سَدرِشو بھَوَتِ۔
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord,
تادرِشو مانَوَح پْرَبھوح کِنْچِتْ پْراپْسْیَتِیتِ نَ مَنْیَتاں۔
8 a double-minded man as he is, unstable in all his ways.
دْوِمَنا لوکَح سَرْوَّگَتِشُ چَنْچَلو بھَوَتِ۔
9 Let the brother of low degree glory in that he is exalted;
یو بھْراتا نَمْرَح سَ نِجونَّتْیا شْلاگھَتاں۔
10 but the rich, in that he is made low; because as the flower of the grass he will pass away.
یَشْچَ دھَنَوانْ سَ نِجَنَمْرَتَیا شْلاگھَتاںیَتَح سَ ترِنَپُشْپَوَتْ کْشَیَں گَمِشْیَتِ۔
11 For the sun rose with its burning heat, and withered the grass, and its flower fell off, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also will the rich man fade away in his ways.
یَتَح سَتاپینَ سُورْیّینودِتْیَ ترِنَں شوشْیَتے تَتْپُشْپَنْچَ بھْرَشْیَتِ تینَ تَسْیَ رُوپَسْیَ سَونْدَرْیَّں نَشْیَتِ تَدْوَدْ دھَنِلوکوپِ سْوِییَمُوڈھَتَیا مْلاسْیَتِ۔
12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is approved, he will receive the crown of life, which He promised to them that love him.
یو جَنَح پَرِیکْشاں سَہَتے سَ ایوَ دھَنْیَح، یَتَح پَرِیکْشِتَتْوَں پْراپْیَ سَ پْرَبھُنا سْوَپْریمَکارِبھْیَح پْرَتِجْناتَں جِیوَنَمُکُٹَں لَپْسْیَتے۔
13 Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he tempteth no one.
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 lust he is led away and enticed;
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَمَنووانْچھَیاکرِشْیَتے لوبھْیَتے چَ تَسْیَیوَ پَرِیکْشا بھَوَتِ۔
15 then lust, having conceived, bringeth forth sin, and sin, when completed, bringeth forth death.
تَسْماتْ سا مَنووانْچھا سَگَرْبھا بھُوتْوا دُشْکرِتِں پْرَسُوتے دُشْکرِتِشْچَ پَرِنامَں گَتْوا مرِتْیُں جَنَیَتِ۔
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُویَں نَ بھْرامْیَتَ۔
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no change, nor shadow from turning.
یَتْ کِنْچِدْ اُتَّمَں دانَں پُورْنو وَرَشْچَ تَتْ سَرْوَّمْ اُورْدّھوادْ اَرْتھَتو یَسْمِنْ دَشانْتَرَں پَرِوَرْتَّنَجاتَچّھایا وا ناسْتِ تَسْمادْ دِیپْتْیاکَراتْ پِتُرَوَروہَتِ۔
18 Of his own will he begot us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
تَسْیَ سرِشْٹَوَسْتُوناں مَدھْیے وَیَں یَتْ پْرَتھَمَپھَلَسْوَرُوپا بھَوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْویچّھاتَح سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ واکْییناسْمانْ جَنَیاماسَ۔
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
اَتَایوَ ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنَح شْرَوَنے تْوَرِتَح کَتھَنے دھِیرَح کْرودھےپِ دھِیرو بھَوَتُ۔
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
یَتو مانَوَسْیَ کْرودھَ اِیشْوَرِییَدھَرْمَّں نَ سادھَیَتِ۔
21 Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
اَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں سَرْوّامْ اَشُچِکْرِیاں دُشْٹَتاباہُلْیَنْچَ نِکْشِپْیَ یُشْمَنْمَنَساں پَرِتْرانے سَمَرْتھَں روپِتَں واکْیَں نَمْرَبھاوینَ گرِہْلِیتَ۔
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
اَپَرَنْچَ یُویَں کیوَلَمْ آتْمَوَنْچَیِتارو واکْیَسْیَ شْروتارو نَ بھَوَتَ کِنْتُ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِنو بھَوَتَ۔
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
یَتو یَح کَشْچِدْ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِی نَ بھُوتْوا کیوَلَں تَسْیَ شْروتا بھَوَتِ سَ دَرْپَنے سْوِییَشارِیرِکَوَدَنَں نِرِیکْشَمانَسْیَ مَنُجَسْیَ سَدرِشَح۔
24 for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
آتْماکارے درِشْٹے سَ پْرَسْتھایَ کِیدرِشَ آسِیتْ تَتْ تَتْکْشَنادْ وِسْمَرَتِ۔
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ نَتْوا مُکْتیح سِدّھاں وْیَوَسْتھامْ آلوکْیَ تِشْٹھَتِ سَ وِسْمرِتِیُکْتَح شْروتا نَ بھُوتْوا کَرْمَّکَرْتَّیوَ سَنْ سْوَکارْیّے دھَنْیو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
26 If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
اَنایَتَّرَسَنَح سَنْ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمَنو وَنْچَیِتْوا سْوَں بھَکْتَں مَنْیَتے تَسْیَ بھَکْتِ رْمُدھا بھَوَتِ۔
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
کْلیشَکالے پِترِہِیناناں وِدھَوانانْچَ یَدْ اَویکْشَنَں سَںساراچَّ نِشْکَلَنْکینَ یَدْ آتْمَرَکْشَنَں تَدیوَ پِتُرِیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشاتْ شُچِ رْنِرْمَّلا چَ بھَکْتِح۔
