< James 1 >
1 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail!
ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱ ཙ དཱསོ ཡཱཀཱུབ྄ ཝིཀཱིརྞཱིབྷཱུཏཱན྄ དྭཱདཤཾ ཝཾཤཱན྄ པྲཏི ནམསྐྲྀཏྱ པཏྲཾ ལིཁཏི།
2 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold;
ཧེ མམ བྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡཱུཡཾ ཡདཱ བཧུཝིདྷཔརཱིཀྵཱཥུ ནིཔཏཏ ཏདཱ ཏཏ྄ པཱུརྞཱནནྡསྱ ཀཱརཎཾ མནྱདྷྭཾ།
3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance,
ཡཏོ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཝིཤྭཱསསྱ པརཱིཀྵིཏཏྭེན དྷཻཪྻྱཾ སམྤཱདྱཏ ཨིཏི ཛཱནཱིཐ།
4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire — in nothing lacking;
ཏཙྩ དྷཻཪྻྱཾ སིདྡྷཕལཾ བྷཝཏུ ཏེན ཡཱུཡཾ སིདྡྷཱཿ སམྤཱུརྞཱཤྩ བྷཝིཥྱཐ ཀསྱཱཔི གུཎསྱཱབྷཱཝཤྩ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ན བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;
ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཀསྱཱཔི ཛྙཱནཱབྷཱཝོ ཡདི བྷཝེཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཡ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ སརལབྷཱཝེན ཏིརསྐཱརཉྩ ཝིནཱ སཪྻྭེབྷྱོ དདཱཏི ཏཏཿ ས ཡཱཙཏཱཾ ཏཏསྟསྨཻ དཱཡིཥྱཏེ།
6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed,
ཀིནྟུ ས ནིཿསནྡེཧཿ སན྄ ཝིཤྭཱསེན ཡཱཙཏཱཾ ཡཏཿ སནྡིགྡྷོ མཱནཝོ ཝཱཡུནཱ ཙཱལིཏསྱོཏྤླཝམཱནསྱ ཙ སམུདྲཏརངྒསྱ སདྲྀཤོ བྷཝཏི།
7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord —
ཏཱདྲྀཤོ མཱནཝཿ པྲབྷོཿ ཀིཉྩིཏ྄ པྲཱཔྶྱཏཱིཏི ན མནྱཏཱཾ།
8 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways.
དྭིམནཱ ལོཀཿ སཪྻྭགཏིཥུ ཙཉྩལོ བྷཝཏི།
9 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
ཡོ བྷྲཱཏཱ ནམྲཿ ས ནིཛོནྣཏྱཱ ཤླཱགྷཏཱཾ།
10 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;
ཡཤྩ དྷནཝཱན྄ ས ནིཛནམྲཏཡཱ ཤླཱགྷཏཱཾཡཏཿ ས ཏྲྀཎཔུཥྤཝཏ྄ ཀྵཡཾ གམིཥྱཏི།
11 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!
ཡཏཿ སཏཱཔེན སཱུཪྻྱེཎོདིཏྱ ཏྲྀཎཾ ཤོཥྱཏེ ཏཏྤུཥྤཉྩ བྷྲཤྱཏི ཏེན ཏསྱ རཱུཔསྱ སཽནྡཪྻྱཾ ནཤྱཏི ཏདྭད྄ དྷནིལོཀོ྅པི སྭཱིཡམཱུཌྷཏཡཱ མླཱསྱཏི།
12 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.
ཡོ ཛནཿ པརཱིཀྵཱཾ སཧཏེ ས ཨེཝ དྷནྱཿ, ཡཏཿ པརཱིཀྵིཏཏྭཾ པྲཱཔྱ ས པྲབྷུནཱ སྭཔྲེམཀཱརིབྷྱཿ པྲཏིཛྙཱཏཾ ཛཱིཝནམུཀུཊཾ ལཔྶྱཏེ།
13 Let no one say, being tempted — 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one,
ཨཱིཤྭརོ མཱཾ པརཱིཀྵཏ ཨིཏི པརཱིཀྵཱསམཡེ ཀོ྅པི ན ཝདཏུ ཡཏཿ པཱཔཱཡེཤྭརསྱ པརཱིཀྵཱ ན བྷཝཏི ས ཙ ཀམཔི ན པརཱིཀྵཏེ།
14 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,
ཀིནྟུ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ སྭཱིཡམནོཝཱཉྪཡཱཀྲྀཥྱཏེ ལོབྷྱཏེ ཙ ཏསྱཻཝ པརཱིཀྵཱ བྷཝཏི།
15 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth death.
ཏསྨཱཏ྄ སཱ མནོཝཱཉྪཱ སགརྦྷཱ བྷཱུཏྭཱ དུཥྐྲྀཏིཾ པྲསཱུཏེ དུཥྐྲྀཏིཤྩ པརིཎཱམཾ གཏྭཱ མྲྀཏྱུཾ ཛནཡཏི།
16 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved;
ཧེ མམ པྲིཡབྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡཱུཡཾ ན བྷྲཱམྱཏ།
17 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
ཡཏ྄ ཀིཉྩིད྄ ཨུཏྟམཾ དཱནཾ པཱུརྞོ ཝརཤྩ ཏཏ྄ སཪྻྭམ྄ ཨཱུརྡྡྷྭཱད྄ ཨརྠཏོ ཡསྨིན྄ དཤཱནྟརཾ པརིཝརྟྟནཛཱཏཙྪཱཡཱ ཝཱ ནཱསྟི ཏསྨཱད྄ དཱིཔྟྱཱཀརཱཏ྄ པིཏུརཝརོཧཏི།
18 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
ཏསྱ སྲྀཥྚཝསྟཱུནཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཝཡཾ ཡཏ྄ པྲཐམཕལསྭརཱུཔཱ བྷཝཱམསྟདརྠཾ ས སྭེཙྪཱཏཿ སཏྱམཏསྱ ཝཱཀྱེནཱསྨཱན྄ ཛནཡཱམཱས།
19 So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
ཨཏཨེཝ ཧེ མམ པྲིཡབྷྲཱཏརཿ, ཡུཥྨཱཀམ྄ ཨེཀཻཀོ ཛནཿ ཤྲཝཎེ ཏྭརིཏཿ ཀཐནེ དྷཱིརཿ ཀྲོདྷེ྅པི དྷཱིརོ བྷཝཏུ།
20 for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not work;
ཡཏོ མཱནཝསྱ ཀྲོདྷ ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡདྷརྨྨཾ ན སཱདྷཡཏི།
21 wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;
ཨཏོ ཧེཏོ ཪྻཱུཡཾ སཪྻྭཱམ྄ ཨཤུཙིཀྲིཡཱཾ དུཥྚཏཱབཱཧུལྱཉྩ ནིཀྵིཔྱ ཡུཥྨནྨནསཱཾ པརིཏྲཱཎེ སམརྠཾ རོཔིཏཾ ཝཱཀྱཾ ནམྲབྷཱཝེན གྲྀཧླཱིཏ།
22 and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
ཨཔརཉྩ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀེཝལམ྄ ཨཱཏྨཝཉྩཡིཏཱརོ ཝཱཀྱསྱ ཤྲོཏཱརོ ན བྷཝཏ ཀིནྟུ ཝཱཀྱསྱ ཀརྨྨཀཱརིཎོ བྷཝཏ།
23 because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
ཡཏོ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཝཱཀྱསྱ ཀརྨྨཀཱརཱི ན བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཀེཝལཾ ཏསྱ ཤྲོཏཱ བྷཝཏི ས དརྤཎེ སྭཱིཡཤཱརཱིརིཀཝདནཾ ནིརཱིཀྵམཱཎསྱ མནུཛསྱ སདྲྀཤཿ།
24 for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was;
ཨཱཏྨཱཀཱརེ དྲྀཥྚེ ས པྲསྠཱཡ ཀཱིདྲྀཤ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏཏ྄ ཏཏྐྵཎཱད྄ ཝིསྨརཏི།
25 and he who did look into the perfect law — that of liberty, and did continue there, this one — not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work — this one shall be happy in his doing.
ཀིནྟུ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ ནཏྭཱ མུཀྟེཿ སིདྡྷཱཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱམ྄ ཨཱལོཀྱ ཏིཥྛཏི ས ཝིསྨྲྀཏིཡུཀྟཿ ཤྲོཏཱ ན བྷཱུཏྭཱ ཀརྨྨཀརྟྟཻཝ སན྄ སྭཀཱཪྻྱེ དྷནྱོ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
26 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain [is] the religion;
ཨནཱཡཏྟརསནཿ སན྄ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ སྭམནོ ཝཉྩཡིཏྭཱ སྭཾ བྷཀྟཾ མནྱཏེ ཏསྱ བྷཀྟི རྨུདྷཱ བྷཝཏི།
27 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation — unspotted to keep himself from the world.
ཀླེཤཀཱལེ པིཏྲྀཧཱིནཱནཱཾ ཝིདྷཝཱནཱཉྩ ཡད྄ ཨཝེཀྵཎཾ སཾསཱརཱཙྩ ནིཥྐལངྐེན ཡད྄ ཨཱཏྨརཀྵཎཾ ཏདེཝ པིཏུརཱིཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཤུཙི རྣིརྨྨལཱ ཙ བྷཀྟིཿ།
