< 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 which are in the Diaspora: Greetings.
2 मेरा भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरूले अनेकौँ किसिमका समस्याहरूको अनुभव गर्दा त्यसलाई पूर्ण रूपमा आनन्द सम्झ,
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials,
3 तिमीहरू जान्दछौ, कि तिमीहरूको विश्‍वासको जाँचले धैर्य उत्‍पन्‍न गराउँदछ ।
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4 धैर्यलाई पूर्ण रूपमा काम गर्न देओ, ताकि तिमीहरू सम्पूर्ण रूपमा सुधारिएको र पूर्ण हुन सक र तिमीहरूमा कुनै कुराको कमी नहोस् ।
Let endurance have its 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 ।
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without finding fault; 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, without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.
7 त्यस्तो व्यक्‍तिले परमप्रभुबाट कुनै पनि कुरा पाउनेछु भनी नसोचोस् ।
For let that person not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 त्यस्तो व्यक्‍ति दोहोरो मनको हुन्छ, र आफ्ना सबै चालमा ऊ अस्थिर हुन्छ ।
He is a double-minded person, unstable in all his ways.
9 दीन भाइले आफ्नो उच्‍च अवस्थामा गर्व गरोस्,
But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;
10 तर धनी मानिसले आफ्नो दीनतामा गर्व गरोस्, किनभने ऊ घाँसमा फलेको जङ्गली फुलझैँ ओइलाएर बितिजानेछ ।
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
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 arises with the scorching wind, and withers the grass, and the flower in it falls, and the beauty of its appearance perishes. So also will the rich person fade away in his pursuits.
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 one who perseveres under trial, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which he promised to those who love 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 say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.
14 तर हरेक व्यक्‍ति आफ्नै अभिलाषाद्वारा परीक्षामा पर्दछ, जसले उसलाई बहकाउँछ र प्रलोभनमा पार्दछ ।
But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
15 अभिलाषाले गर्भधारण गरेपछि त्यसले पाप जन्माउँछ । अनि पाप पूर्ण रूपमा बढेपछि त्यसले मृत्यु ल्याउँछ ।
Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
16 मेरा प्रिय भाइहरू हो, धोकामा नपर ।
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 हरेक असल वरदान र हरेक सिद्ध वरदान माथिबाटको हो । ज्योतिका पिताबाट त्यो तल आउँछ । उहाँ बद्‌लिरहने छायाजस्तो बद्‌लिनुहुन्‍न ।
All generous giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.
18 उहाँले सृष्‍टि गर्नुभएका सबै कुरामध्‍ये हामी पहिलो फलझैँ हुन सकौँ भनेर परमेश्‍वरले सत्यको वचनद्वारा हामीलाई जीवन दिनलाई चुन्‍नुभयो ।
Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19 मेरो प्रिय भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू यो जान्‍दछौः हरेक मानिस सुन्‍नमा छिटो, बोल्नमा ढिलो र रिसाउनमा धीमा होस् ।
This you know, my beloved brothers. But let every person be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;
20 किनभने मानिसको रिसले परमेश्‍वरको धार्मिकताको काम गर्दैन ।
for human anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 यसकारण, सबै पापमय घिनलाग्‍दा कुरा र दुष्‍टताको प्रचुरतालाई मिल्‍काइदेओ । रोपिएको वचनलाई विनम्रतामा धारण गर जसले तिमीहरूका प्राणलाई बचाउन सक्‍छ ।
Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 आफैँलाई धोका दिने गरी वचन सुन्‍ने मात्र होइन, तर पालन पनि गर ।
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
23 किनकि यदि कोही वचन सुन्‍ने मात्र व्यक्‍ति हो, तर पालन गर्ने व्यक्‍ति होइन भने ऊ ऐनामा आफ्नो स्वाभाविक अनुहार जाँच्‍ने मानिसजस्तै हो ।
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his natural face in a mirror;
24 उसले आफैँलाई जाँच्छ र गइहाल्छ र ऊ कस्‍तो थियो भन्‍ने कुरा तुरुन्तै बिर्सिहाल्‍छ ।
for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person 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 looks into the perfect Law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this person will be blessed in what he does.
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 himself to be religious while he does not control his tongue, but deceives his heart, this one's religion is worthless.
27 हाम्रा परमेश्‍वर र पिताको सामु पवित्र र निष्कलङ्क धर्म यही होः अनाथ र विधवाहरूको कष्‍टमा तिनीहरूलाई सहायता गर्नु, अनि आफैँलाई संसारबाट दोषरहित राख्‍नु ।
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
