James 4
1 What causes wars and contentions among you? Is it not the cravings which are ever at war within you for various pleasures?
| یُشْماکَں مَدھْیے سَمَرا رَنَشْچَ کُتَ اُتْپَدْیَنْتے؟ یُشْمَدَنْگَشِبِراشْرِتابھْیَح سُکھیچّھابھْیَح کِں نوتْپَدْیَنْتے؟ |
2 You covet things and yet cannot get them; you commit murder; you have passionate desires and yet cannot gain your end; you begin to fight and make war. You have not, because you do not pray;
| یُویَں وانْچھَتھَ کِنْتُ ناپْنُتھَ، یُویَں نَرَہَتْیامْ اِیرْشْیانْچَ کُرُتھَ کِنْتُ کرِتارْتھا بھَوِتُں نَ شَکْنُتھَ، یُویَں یُدھْیَتھَ رَنَں کُرُتھَ چَ کِنْتْوَپْراپْتاسْتِشْٹھَتھَ، یَتو ہیتوح پْرارْتھَناں نَ کُرُتھَ۔ |
3 or you pray and yet do not receive, because you pray wrongly, your object being to waste what you get on some pleasure or another.
| یُویَں پْرارْتھَیَدھْوے کِنْتُ نَ لَبھَدھْوے یَتو ہیتوح سْوَسُکھَبھوگیشُ وْیَیارْتھَں کُ پْرارْتھَیَدھْوے۔ |
4 You unfaithful women, do you not know that friendship with the world means enmity to God? Therefore whoever is bent on being friendly with the world makes himself an enemy to God.
| ہے وْیَبھِچارِنو وْیَبھِچارِنْیَشْچَ، سَںسارَسْیَ یَتْ مَیتْرْیَں تَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ شاتْرَوَمِتِ یُویَں کِں نَ جانِیتھَ؟ اَتَ ایوَ یَح کَشْچِتْ سَںسارَسْیَ مِتْرَں بھَوِتُمْ اَبھِلَشَتِ سَ ایویشْوَرَسْیَ شَتْرُ رْبھَوَتِ۔ |
5 Or do you suppose that it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "The Spirit which He has caused to dwell in our hearts yearns jealously over us"?
| یُویَں کِں مَنْیَدھْوے؟ شاسْتْرَسْیَ واکْیَں کِں پھَلَہِینَں بھَویتْ؟ اَسْمَدَنْتَرْواسِی یَ آتْما سَ وا کِمْ اِیرْشْیارْتھَں پْریمَ کَروتِ؟ |
6 But He gives more abundant grace, as is implied in His saying, "God sets Himself against the haughty, but to the lowly He gives grace."
| تَنَّہِ کِنْتُ سَ پْرَتُلَں وَرَں وِتَرَتِ تَسْمادْ اُکْتَماسْتے یَتھا، آتْمابھِمانَلوکاناں وِپَکْشو بھَوَتِیشْوَرَح۔ کِنْتُ تینَیوَ نَمْریبھْیَح پْرَسادادْ دِییَتے وَرَح۔۔ |
7 Submit therefore to God: resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
| اَتَایوَ یُویَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ وَشْیا بھَوَتَ شَیَتانَں سَںرُنْدھَ تینَ سَ یُشْمَتَّح پَلایِشْیَتے۔ |
8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and make your hearts pure, you who are half-hearted towards God.
| اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَوَرْتِّنو بھَوَتَ تینَ سَ یُشْماکَں سَمِیپَوَرْتِّی بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ ہے پاپِنَح، یُویَں سْوَکَرانْ پَرِشْکُرُدھْوَں۔ ہے دْوِمَنولوکاح، یُویَں سْوانْتَحکَرَنانِ شُچِینِ کُرُدھْوَں۔ |
9 Afflict yourselves and mourn and weep aloud; let your laughter be turned into grief, and your gladness into shame.
| یُویَمْ اُدْوِجَدھْوَں شوچَتَ وِلَپَتَ چَ، یُشْماکَں ہاسَح شوکایَ، آنَنْدَشْچَ کاتَرَتایَے پَرِوَرْتّیتاں۔ |
10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
| پْرَبھوح سَمَکْشَں نَمْرا بھَوَتَ تَسْماتْ سَ یُشْمانْ اُچِّیکَرِشْیَتِ۔ |
11 Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. The man who speaks evil of a brother-man or judges his brother-man speaks evil of the Law and judges the Law. But if you judge the Law, you are no longer one who obeys the Law, but one who judges it.
| ہے بھْراتَرَح، یُویَں پَرَسْپَرَں ما دُوشَیَتَ۔ یَح کَشْچِدْ بھْراتَرَں دُوشَیَتِ بھْراتُ رْوِچارَنْچَ کَروتِ سَ وْیَوَسْتھاں دُوشَیَتِ وْیَوَسْتھایاشْچَ وِچارَں کَروتِ۔ تْوَں یَدِ وْیَوَسْتھایا وِچارَں کَروشِ تَرْہِ وْیَوَسْتھاپالَیِتا نَ بھَوَسِ کِنْتُ وِچارَیِتا بھَوَسِ۔ |
12 The only real Lawgiver and Judge is He who is able to save or to destroy. Who are you to sit in judgement on your fellow man?
| اَدْوِتِییو وْیَوَسْتھاپَکو وِچارَیِتا چَ سَ ایواسْتے یو رَکْشِتُں ناشَیِتُنْچَ پارَیَتِ۔ کِنْتُ کَسْتْوَں یَتْ پَرَسْیَ وِچارَں کَروشِ؟ |
13 Come, you who say, "To-day or to-morrow we will go to this or that city, and spend a year there and carry on a successful business,"
| اَدْیَ شْوو وا وَیَمْ اَمُکَنَگَرَں گَتْوا تَتْرَ وَرْشَمیکَں یاپَیَنْتو وانِجْیَں کَرِشْیامَح لابھَں پْراپْسْیامَشْچیتِ کَتھاں بھاشَمانا یُویَمْ اِدانِیں شرِنُتَ۔ |
14 when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.
| شْوَح کِں گھَٹِشْیَتے تَدْ یُویَں نَ جانِیتھَ یَتو جِیوَنَں وو بھَویتْ کِیدرِکْ تَتُّ باشْپَسْوَرُوپَکَں، کْشَنَماتْرَں بھَویدْ درِشْیَں لُپْیَتے چَ تَتَح پَرَں۔ |
15 Instead of that you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we shall live and do this or that."
| تَدَنُکْتْوا یُشْماکَمْ اِدَں کَتھَنِییَں پْرَبھورِچّھاتو وَیَں یَدِ جِیوامَسْتَرْہْییتَتْ کَرْمَّ تَتْ کَرْمَّ وا کَرِشْیامَ اِتِ۔ |
16 But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil.
| کِنْتْوِدانِیں یُویَں گَرْوَّواکْیَیح شْلاگھَنَں کُرُدھْوے تادرِشَں سَرْوَّں شْلاگھَنَں کُتْسِتَمیوَ۔ |
17 If, however, a man knows what it is right to do and yet does not do it, he commits a sin.
| اَتو یَح کَشْچِتْ سَتْکَرْمَّ کَرْتَّں وِدِتْوا تَنَّ کَروتِ تَسْیَ پاپَں جایَتے۔ |
