اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ چَ داسو یاکُوبْ وِکِیرْنِیبھُوتانْ دْوادَشَں وَںشانْ پْرَتِ نَمَسْکرِتْیَ پَتْرَں لِکھَتِ۔ 1
JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، یُویَں یَدا بَہُوِدھَپَرِیکْشاشُ نِپَتَتَ تَدا تَتْ پُورْنانَنْدَسْیَ کارَنَں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔ 2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
یَتو یُشْماکَں وِشْواسَسْیَ پَرِیکْشِتَتْوینَ دھَیرْیَّں سَمْپادْیَتَ اِتِ جانِیتھَ۔ 3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
تَچَّ دھَیرْیَّں سِدّھَپھَلَں بھَوَتُ تینَ یُویَں سِدّھاح سَمْپُورْناشْچَ بھَوِشْیَتھَ کَسْیاپِ گُنَسْیابھاوَشْچَ یُشْماکَں نَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ 4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
یُشْماکَں کَسْیاپِ جْنانابھاوو یَدِ بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَرَلَبھاوینَ تِرَسْکارَنْچَ وِنا سَرْوّیبھْیو دَداتِ تَتَح سَ یاچَتاں تَتَسْتَسْمَے دایِشْیَتے۔ 5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
کِنْتُ سَ نِحسَنْدیہَح سَنْ وِشْواسینَ یاچَتاں یَتَح سَنْدِگْدھو مانَوو وایُنا چالِتَسْیوتْپْلَوَمانَسْیَ چَ سَمُدْرَتَرَنْگَسْیَ سَدرِشو بھَوَتِ۔ 6
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
تادرِشو مانَوَح پْرَبھوح کِنْچِتْ پْراپْسْیَتِیتِ نَ مَنْیَتاں۔ 7
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
دْوِمَنا لوکَح سَرْوَّگَتِشُ چَنْچَلو بھَوَتِ۔ 8
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
یو بھْراتا نَمْرَح سَ نِجونَّتْیا شْلاگھَتاں۔ 9
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
یَشْچَ دھَنَوانْ سَ نِجَنَمْرَتَیا شْلاگھَتاںیَتَح سَ ترِنَپُشْپَوَتْ کْشَیَں گَمِشْیَتِ۔ 10
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
یَتَح سَتاپینَ سُورْیّینودِتْیَ ترِنَں شوشْیَتے تَتْپُشْپَنْچَ بھْرَشْیَتِ تینَ تَسْیَ رُوپَسْیَ سَونْدَرْیَّں نَشْیَتِ تَدْوَدْ دھَنِلوکوپِ سْوِییَمُوڈھَتَیا مْلاسْیَتِ۔ 11
For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
یو جَنَح پَرِیکْشاں سَہَتے سَ ایوَ دھَنْیَح، یَتَح پَرِیکْشِتَتْوَں پْراپْیَ سَ پْرَبھُنا سْوَپْریمَکارِبھْیَح پْرَتِجْناتَں جِیوَنَمُکُٹَں لَپْسْیَتے۔ 12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
اِیشْوَرو ماں پَرِیکْشَتَ اِتِ پَرِیکْشاسَمَیے کوپِ نَ وَدَتُ یَتَح پاپاییشْوَرَسْیَ پَرِیکْشا نَ بھَوَتِ سَ چَ کَمَپِ نَ پَرِیکْشَتے۔ 13
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَمَنووانْچھَیاکرِشْیَتے لوبھْیَتے چَ تَسْیَیوَ پَرِیکْشا بھَوَتِ۔ 14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
تَسْماتْ سا مَنووانْچھا سَگَرْبھا بھُوتْوا دُشْکرِتِں پْرَسُوتے دُشْکرِتِشْچَ پَرِنامَں گَتْوا مرِتْیُں جَنَیَتِ۔ 15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُویَں نَ بھْرامْیَتَ۔ 16
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
یَتْ کِنْچِدْ اُتَّمَں دانَں پُورْنو وَرَشْچَ تَتْ سَرْوَّمْ اُورْدّھوادْ اَرْتھَتو یَسْمِنْ دَشانْتَرَں پَرِوَرْتَّنَجاتَچّھایا وا ناسْتِ تَسْمادْ دِیپْتْیاکَراتْ پِتُرَوَروہَتِ۔ 17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
تَسْیَ سرِشْٹَوَسْتُوناں مَدھْیے وَیَں یَتْ پْرَتھَمَپھَلَسْوَرُوپا بھَوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْویچّھاتَح سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ واکْییناسْمانْ جَنَیاماسَ۔ 18
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
اَتَایوَ ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنَح شْرَوَنے تْوَرِتَح کَتھَنے دھِیرَح کْرودھےپِ دھِیرو بھَوَتُ۔ 19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
یَتو مانَوَسْیَ کْرودھَ اِیشْوَرِییَدھَرْمَّں نَ سادھَیَتِ۔ 20
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
اَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں سَرْوّامْ اَشُچِکْرِیاں دُشْٹَتاباہُلْیَنْچَ نِکْشِپْیَ یُشْمَنْمَنَساں پَرِتْرانے سَمَرْتھَں روپِتَں واکْیَں نَمْرَبھاوینَ گرِہْلِیتَ۔ 21
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
اَپَرَنْچَ یُویَں کیوَلَمْ آتْمَوَنْچَیِتارو واکْیَسْیَ شْروتارو نَ بھَوَتَ کِنْتُ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِنو بھَوَتَ۔ 22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
یَتو یَح کَشْچِدْ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِی نَ بھُوتْوا کیوَلَں تَسْیَ شْروتا بھَوَتِ سَ دَرْپَنے سْوِییَشارِیرِکَوَدَنَں نِرِیکْشَمانَسْیَ مَنُجَسْیَ سَدرِشَح۔ 23
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
آتْماکارے درِشْٹے سَ پْرَسْتھایَ کِیدرِشَ آسِیتْ تَتْ تَتْکْشَنادْ وِسْمَرَتِ۔ 24
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ نَتْوا مُکْتیح سِدّھاں وْیَوَسْتھامْ آلوکْیَ تِشْٹھَتِ سَ وِسْمرِتِیُکْتَح شْروتا نَ بھُوتْوا کَرْمَّکَرْتَّیوَ سَنْ سْوَکارْیّے دھَنْیو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ 25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
اَنایَتَّرَسَنَح سَنْ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمَنو وَنْچَیِتْوا سْوَں بھَکْتَں مَنْیَتے تَسْیَ بھَکْتِ رْمُدھا بھَوَتِ۔ 26
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
کْلیشَکالے پِترِہِیناناں وِدھَوانانْچَ یَدْ اَویکْشَنَں سَںساراچَّ نِشْکَلَنْکینَ یَدْ آتْمَرَکْشَنَں تَدیوَ پِتُرِیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشاتْ شُچِ رْنِرْمَّلا چَ بھَکْتِح۔ 27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
