< याकूब 1 >

1 परमेश्‍वर र प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्‍टका सेवक याकूबबाट, छरपष्‍ट भएका बाह्र कुललाई अभिवादन ।
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Greetings!
2 मेरा भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरूले अनेकौँ किसिमका समस्याहरूको अनुभव गर्दा त्यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा आनन्द सम्झ,
Count [it] all joy, my brothers, when you may fall into manifold temptations,
3 तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, कि तिमीहरूको विश्‍वासको जाँचले धैर्य उत्‍पन्‍न गराउँदछ ।
knowing that the proof of your faith works endurance,
4 धैर्यलाई पूर्ण रूपमा काम गर्न देओ, ताकि तिमीहरू सम्पूर्ण रूपमा सुधारिएको र पूर्ण हुन सक र तिमीहरूमा कुनै कुराको कमी नहोस् ।
and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 तर यदि तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैलाई बुद्धिको खाँचो छ भने, माग्‍ने जति सबैलाई उदारतासँग र नहप्काइकन दिनुहुने परमेश्‍वरसँग उसले मागोस् र उहाँले उसलाई त्यो दिनुहुनेछ ।
And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all generously, and not reproaching, and it will be given to him;
6 तर उसले शङ्का नगरी विश्‍वाससाथ मागोस् । किनभने शङ्का गर्नेचाहिँ बतासले हुत्त्याउने र यताउता पल्टाउने समुद्रको छालजस्‍तो हुन्छ ।
but let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed;
7 त्यस्तो व्यक्‍तिले परमप्रभुबाट कुनै पनि कुरा पाउनेछु भनी नसोचोस् ।
for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the LORD—
8 त्यस्तो व्यक्‍ति दोहोरो मनको हुन्छ, र आफ्ना सबै चालमा ऊ अस्थिर हुन्छ ।
a soul-split man [is] unstable in all his ways.
9 दीन भाइले आफ्नो उच्‍च अवस्थामा गर्व गरोस्,
And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,
10 तर धनी मानिसले आफ्नो दीनतामा गर्व गरोस्, किनभने ऊ घाँसमा फलेको जङ्गली फुलझैँ ओइलाएर बितिजानेछ ।
but the rich in his becoming low, because he will pass away as a flower of grass;
11 किनकि प्रचण्ड तापसहित सूर्य उदाउँछ र घाँसलाई सुकाइदिन्‍छ । फुल झर्छ, र त्‍यसको सौन्‍दर्य नष्‍ट हुन्छ । त्यसै गरी, धनी मानिस आफ्नो यात्राको बिचमा नै बिलाएर जानेछ ।
for the sun rose with the burning heat, and withered the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished, so also the rich in his way will fade away!
12 त्‍यो मानिस धन्‍यको हो जो परीक्षामा स्‍थिर रहन्‍छ । किनभने परीक्षामा सफलता प्राप्‍त गरिसकेपछि उसले जीवनको मुकुट पाउनेछ, जुन परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गर्नेहरूका निम्ति प्रतिज्ञा गरिएको छ ।
Blessed [is] the man who endures temptation, because, becoming approved, he will receive the garland of life, which the LORD promised to those loving Him.
13 परीक्षामा पर्दा “यो परीक्षा परमेश्‍वरबाट आएको हो” भनी कसैले पनि नभनोस् किनभने दुष्‍टबाट परमेश्‍वरको परीक्षा हुँदैन र उहाँ आफैँले पनि कसैको परीक्षा गर्नुहुन्‍न ।
Let no one who is being tempted say, “I am tempted from God,” for God is not tempted by evils, and Himself tempts no one,
14 तर हरेक व्यक्‍ति आफ्नै अभिलाषाद्वारा परीक्षामा पर्दछ, जसले उसलाई बहकाउँछ र प्रलोभनमा पार्दछ ।
but each one is tempted, being led away and enticed by his own desires;
15 अभिलाषाले गर्भधारण गरेपछि त्यसले पाप जन्माउँछ । अनि पाप पूर्ण रूपमा बढेपछि त्यसले मृत्यु ल्याउँछ ।
afterward the desire having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin having been perfected, brings forth death.
16 मेरा प्रिय भाइहरू हो, धोकामा नपर ।
Do not be led astray, my beloved brothers.
17 हरेक असल वरदान र हरेक सिद्ध वरदान माथिबाटको हो । ज्योतिका पिताबाट त्यो तल आउँछ । उहाँ बद्‌लिरहने छायाजस्तो बद्‌लिनुहुन्‍न ।
Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;
18 उहाँले सृष्‍टि गर्नुभएका सबै कुरामध्‍ये हामी पहिलो फलझैँ हुन सकौँ भनेर परमेश्‍वरले सत्यको वचनद्वारा हामीलाई जीवन दिनलाई चुन्‍नुभयो ।
having willed [it], He begot us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
19 मेरो प्रिय भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू यो जान्‍दछौः हरेक मानिस सुन्‍नमा छिटो, बोल्नमा ढिलो र रिसाउनमा धीमा होस् ।
So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20 किनभने मानिसको रिसले परमेश्‍वरको धार्मिकताको काम गर्दैन ।
for the wrath of a man does not work the righteousness of God;
21 यसकारण, सबै पापमय घिनलाग्‍दा कुरा र दुष्‍टताको प्रचुरतालाई मिल्‍काइदेओ । रोपिएको वचनलाई विनम्रतामा धारण गर जसले तिमीहरूका प्राणलाई बचाउन सक्‍छ ।
for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
22 आफैँलाई धोका दिने गरी वचन सुन्‍ने मात्र होइन, तर पालन पनि गर ।
and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23 किनकि यदि कोही वचन सुन्‍ने मात्र व्यक्‍ति हो, तर पालन गर्ने व्यक्‍ति होइन भने ऊ ऐनामा आफ्नो स्वाभाविक अनुहार जाँच्‍ने मानिसजस्तै हो ।
because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
24 उसले आफैँलाई जाँच्छ र गइहाल्छ र ऊ कस्‍तो थियो भन्‍ने कुरा तुरुन्तै बिर्सिहाल्‍छ ।
for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;
25 तर सुनेर बिर्सने व्यक्‍ति मात्र नभई स्‍वतन्‍त्रताको सिद्ध व्‍यवस्‍थालाई होसियारीपूर्वक ध्यान दिने र निरन्तर त्यस्तै गरिरहने व्यक्‍तिचाहिँ उसले गर्ने कामहरूमा आशिषित हुनेछ ।
but he who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
26 यदि कसैले आफैँलाई धार्मिक ठान्दछ, तर उसले आफ्नो जिब्रोलाई नियन्‍त्रण गर्दैन भने उसले आफ्‍नो हृदयलाई धोका दिन्छ र उसको धर्म व्यर्थको हुन्‍छ ।
If anyone thinks to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] vain;
27 हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर र पिताको सामु पवित्र र निष्कलङ्क धर्म यही होः अनाथ र विधवाहरूको कष्‍टमा तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नु, अनि आफैँलाई संसारबाट दोषरहित राख्‍नु ।
religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation—to keep himself unspotted from the world.
