< Iacobi 2 >

1 Fratres mei, nolite in personarum acceptione habere fidem Domini nostri Jesu Christi gloriæ.
hē mama bhrātaraḥ, yūyam asmākaṁ tējasvinaḥ prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya dharmmaṁ mukhāpēkṣayā na dhārayata|
2 Etenim si introierit in conventum vestrum vir aureum annulum habens in veste candida, introierit autem et pauper in sordido habitu,
yatō yuṣmākaṁ sabhāyāṁ svarṇāṅgurīyakayuktē bhrājiṣṇuparicchadē puruṣē praviṣṭē malinavastrē kasmiṁścid daridrē'pi praviṣṭē
3 et intendatis in eum qui indutus est veste præclara, et dixeritis ei: Tu sede hic bene: pauperi autem dicatis: Tu sta illic; aut sede sub scabello pedum meorum:
yūyaṁ yadi taṁ bhrājiṣṇuparicchadavasānaṁ janaṁ nirīkṣya vadēta bhavān atrōttamasthāna upaviśatviti kiñca taṁ daridraṁ yadi vadēta tvam amusmin sthānē tiṣṭha yadvātra mama pādapīṭha upaviśēti,
4 nonne judicatis apud vosmetipsos, et facti estis judices cogitationum iniquarum?
tarhi manaḥsu viśēṣya yūyaṁ kiṁ kutarkaiḥ kuvicārakā na bhavatha?
5 Audite, fratres mei dilectissimi: nonne Deus elegit pauperes in hoc mundo, divites in fide, et hæredes regni, quod repromisit Deus diligentibus se?
hē mama priyabhrātaraḥ, śr̥ṇuta, saṁsārē yē daridrāstān īśvarō viśvāsēna dhaninaḥ svaprēmakāribhyaśca pratiśrutasya rājyasyādhikāriṇaḥ karttuṁ kiṁ na varītavān? kintu daridrō yuṣmābhiravajñāyatē|
6 vos autem exhonorastis pauperem. Nonne divites per potentiam opprimunt vos, et ipsi trahunt vos ad judicia?
dhanavanta ēva kiṁ yuṣmān nōpadravanti balācca vicārāsanānāṁ samīpaṁ na nayanti?
7 nonne ipsi blasphemant bonum nomen, quod invocatum est super vos?
yuṣmadupari parikīrttitaṁ paramaṁ nāma kiṁ tairēva na nindyatē?
8 Si tamen legem perficitis regalem secundum Scripturas: Diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum: bene facitis:
kiñca tvaṁ svasamīpavāsini svātmavat prīyasva, ētacchāstrīyavacanānusāratō yadi yūyaṁ rājakīyavyavasthāṁ pālayatha tarhi bhadraṁ kurutha|
9 si autem personas accipitis, peccatum operamini, redarguti a lege quasi transgressores.
yadi ca mukhāpēkṣāṁ kurutha tarhi pāpam ācaratha vyavasthayā cājñālaṅghina iva dūṣyadhvē|
10 Quicumque autem totam legem servaverit, offendat autem in uno, factus est omnium reus.
yatō yaḥ kaścit kr̥tsnāṁ vyavasthāṁ pālayati sa yadyēkasmin vidhau skhalati tarhi sarvvēṣām aparādhī bhavati|
11 Qui enim dixit: Non mœchaberis, dixit et: Non occides. Quod si non mœchaberis, occides autem, factus es transgressor legis.
yatō hētōstvaṁ paradārān mā gacchēti yaḥ kathitavān sa ēva narahatyāṁ mā kuryyā ityapi kathitavān tasmāt tvaṁ paradārān na gatvā yadi narahatyāṁ karōṣi tarhi vyavasthālaṅghī bhavasi|
12 Sic loquimini, et sic facite sicut per legem libertatis incipientes judicari.
muktē rvyavasthātō yēṣāṁ vicārēṇa bhavitavyaṁ tādr̥śā lōkā iva yūyaṁ kathāṁ kathayata karmma kuruta ca|
13 Judicium enim sine misericordia illi qui non fecit misericordiam: superexaltat autem misericordia judicium.
yō dayāṁ nācarati tasya vicārō nirddayēna kāriṣyatē, kintu dayā vicāram abhibhaviṣyati|
14 Quid proderit, fratres mei, si fidem quis dicat se habere, opera autem non habeat? numquid poterit fides salvare eum?
hē mama bhrātaraḥ, mama pratyayō'stīti yaḥ kathayati tasya karmmāṇi yadi na vidyanta tarhi tēna kiṁ phalaṁ? tēna pratyayēna kiṁ tasya paritrāṇaṁ bhavituṁ śaknōti?
15 Si autem frater et soror nudi sint, et indigeant victu quotidiano,
kēṣucid bhrātr̥ṣu bhaginīṣu vā vasanahīnēṣu prātyahikāhārahīnēṣu ca satsu yuṣmākaṁ kō'pi tēbhyaḥ śarīrārthaṁ prayōjanīyāni dravyāṇi na datvā yadi tān vadēt,
16 dicat autem aliquis ex vobis illis: Ite in pace, calefacimini et saturamini: non dederitis autem eis quæ necessaria sunt corpori, quid proderit?
yūyaṁ sakuśalaṁ gatvōṣṇagātrā bhavata tr̥pyata cēti tarhyētēna kiṁ phalaṁ?
17 Sic et fides, si non habeat opera, mortua est in semetipsa.
tadvat pratyayō yadi karmmabhi ryuktō na bhavēt tarhyēkākitvāt mr̥ta ēvāstē|
18 Sed dicet quis: Tu fidem habes, et ego opera habeo: ostende mihi fidem tuam sine operibus: et ego ostendam tibi ex operibus fidem meam.
kiñca kaścid idaṁ vadiṣyati tava pratyayō vidyatē mama ca karmmāṇi vidyantē, tvaṁ karmmahīnaṁ svapratyayaṁ māṁ darśaya tarhyahamapi matkarmmabhyaḥ svapratyayaṁ tvāṁ darśayiṣyāmi|
19 Tu credis quoniam unus est Deus: bene facis: et dæmones credunt, et contremiscunt.
ēka īśvarō 'stīti tvaṁ pratyēṣi| bhadraṁ karōṣi| bhūtā api tat pratiyanti kampantē ca|
20 Vis autem scire, o homo inanis, quoniam fides sine operibus mortua est?
kintu hē nirbbōdhamānava, karmmahīnaḥ pratyayō mr̥ta ēvāstyētad avagantuṁ kim icchasi?
21 Abraham pater noster nonne ex operibus justificatus est, offerens Isaac filium suum super altare?
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣō ya ibrāhīm svaputram ishākaṁ yajñavēdyām utsr̥ṣṭavān sa kiṁ karmmabhyō na sapuṇyīkr̥taḥ?
22 Vides quoniam fides cooperabatur operibus illius: et ex operibus fides consummata est?
pratyayē tasya karmmaṇāṁ sahakāriṇi jātē karmmabhiḥ pratyayaḥ siddhō 'bhavat tat kiṁ paśyasi?
23 Et suppleta est Scriptura, dicens: Credidit Abraham Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam, et amicus Dei appellatus est.
itthañcēdaṁ śāstrīyavacanaṁ saphalam abhavat, ibrāhīm paramēśvarē viśvasitavān tacca tasya puṇyāyāgaṇyata sa cēśvarasya mitra iti nāma labdhavān|
24 Videtis quoniam ex operibus justificatur homo, et non ex fide tantum?
paśyata mānavaḥ karmmabhyaḥ sapuṇyīkriyatē na caikākinā pratyayēna|
25 Similiter et Rahab meretrix, nonne ex operibus justificata est, suscipiens nuntios, et alia via ejiciens?
tadvad yā rāhabnāmikā vārāṅganā cārān anugr̥hyāparēṇa mārgēṇa visasarja sāpi kiṁ karmmabhyō na sapuṇyīkr̥tā?
26 Sicut enim corpus sine spiritu mortuum est, ita et fides sine operibus mortua est.
ataēvātmahīnō dēhō yathā mr̥tō'sti tathaiva karmmahīnaḥ pratyayō'pi mr̥tō'sti|
