James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the dispersion: Greetings!
| ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، یُویَں یَدا بَہُوِدھَپَرِیکْشاشُ نِپَتَتَ تَدا تَتْ پُورْنانَنْدَسْیَ کارَنَں مَنْیَدھْوَں۔ | 2 |
Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you experience various troubles.
| یَتو یُشْماکَں وِشْواسَسْیَ پَرِیکْشِتَتْوینَ دھَیرْیَّں سَمْپادْیَتَ اِتِ جانِیتھَ۔ | 3 |
You know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
| تَچَّ دھَیرْیَّں سِدّھَپھَلَں بھَوَتُ تینَ یُویَں سِدّھاح سَمْپُورْناشْچَ بھَوِشْیَتھَ کَسْیاپِ گُنَسْیابھاوَشْچَ یُشْماکَں نَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 4 |
Let endurance complete its work, so that you may become fully developed and complete, not lacking anything.
| یُشْماکَں کَسْیاپِ جْنانابھاوو یَدِ بھَویتْ تَرْہِ یَ اِیشْوَرَح سَرَلَبھاوینَ تِرَسْکارَنْچَ وِنا سَرْوّیبھْیو دَداتِ تَتَح سَ یاچَتاں تَتَسْتَسْمَے دایِشْیَتے۔ | 5 |
But if any of you needs wisdom, let him ask for it from God, the one who gives generously and without rebuke to all who ask, and he will give it to him.
| کِنْتُ سَ نِحسَنْدیہَح سَنْ وِشْواسینَ یاچَتاں یَتَح سَنْدِگْدھو مانَوو وایُنا چالِتَسْیوتْپْلَوَمانَسْیَ چَ سَمُدْرَتَرَنْگَسْیَ سَدرِشو بھَوَتِ۔ | 6 |
But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For anyone who doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven by the wind and tossed around.
| تادرِشو مانَوَح پْرَبھوح کِنْچِتْ پْراپْسْیَتِیتِ نَ مَنْیَتاں۔ | 7 |
For that person must not think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
| دْوِمَنا لوکَح سَرْوَّگَتِشُ چَنْچَلو بھَوَتِ۔ | 8 |
Such a person is double-minded, unstable in all his ways.
| یو بھْراتا نَمْرَح سَ نِجونَّتْیا شْلاگھَتاں۔ | 9 |
Let the poor brother boast of his high position,
| یَشْچَ دھَنَوانْ سَ نِجَنَمْرَتَیا شْلاگھَتاںیَتَح سَ ترِنَپُشْپَوَتْ کْشَیَں گَمِشْیَتِ۔ | 10 |
but the rich man of his low position, because he will pass away as a wild flower in the grass.
| یَتَح سَتاپینَ سُورْیّینودِتْیَ ترِنَں شوشْیَتے تَتْپُشْپَنْچَ بھْرَشْیَتِ تینَ تَسْیَ رُوپَسْیَ سَونْدَرْیَّں نَشْیَتِ تَدْوَدْ دھَنِلوکوپِ سْوِییَمُوڈھَتَیا مْلاسْیَتِ۔ | 11 |
For the sun rises with burning heat and dries up the grass. The flower falls off, and its beauty perishes. In the same way, the rich man will fade away in the middle of his journey.
| یو جَنَح پَرِیکْشاں سَہَتے سَ ایوَ دھَنْیَح، یَتَح پَرِیکْشِتَتْوَں پْراپْیَ سَ پْرَبھُنا سْوَپْریمَکارِبھْیَح پْرَتِجْناتَں جِیوَنَمُکُٹَں لَپْسْیَتے۔ | 12 |
Blessed is the man who endures testing. For after he has passed the test, he will receive the crown of life, which has been promised to those who love God.
| اِیشْوَرو ماں پَرِیکْشَتَ اِتِ پَرِیکْشاسَمَیے کوپِ نَ وَدَتُ یَتَح پاپاییشْوَرَسْیَ پَرِیکْشا نَ بھَوَتِ سَ چَ کَمَپِ نَ پَرِیکْشَتے۔ | 13 |
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” because God is not tempted by evil, nor does he himself tempt anyone.
| کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییَمَنووانْچھَیاکرِشْیَتے لوبھْیَتے چَ تَسْیَیوَ پَرِیکْشا بھَوَتِ۔ | 14 |
But each person is tempted by his own desire, which drags him away and entices him.
| تَسْماتْ سا مَنووانْچھا سَگَرْبھا بھُوتْوا دُشْکرِتِں پْرَسُوتے دُشْکرِتِشْچَ پَرِنامَں گَتْوا مرِتْیُں جَنَیَتِ۔ | 15 |
Then after the desire conceives, it gives birth to sin, and after the sin is full grown, it gives birth to death.
| ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُویَں نَ بھْرامْیَتَ۔ | 16 |
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
| 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. It comes down from the Father of lights. With him there is no changing or shadow because of turning.
| تَسْیَ سرِشْٹَوَسْتُوناں مَدھْیے وَیَں یَتْ پْرَتھَمَپھَلَسْوَرُوپا بھَوامَسْتَدَرْتھَں سَ سْویچّھاتَح سَتْیَمَتَسْیَ واکْییناسْمانْ جَنَیاماسَ۔ | 18 |
God chose to give us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all the things that he created.
| اَتَایوَ ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، یُشْماکَمْ ایکَیکو جَنَح شْرَوَنے تْوَرِتَح کَتھَنے دھِیرَح کْرودھےپِ دھِیرو بھَوَتُ۔ | 19 |
You know this, my beloved brothers: Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
| یَتو مانَوَسْیَ کْرودھَ اِیشْوَرِییَدھَرْمَّں نَ سادھَیَتِ۔ | 20 |
For the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
| اَتو ہیتو رْیُویَں سَرْوّامْ اَشُچِکْرِیاں دُشْٹَتاباہُلْیَنْچَ نِکْشِپْیَ یُشْمَنْمَنَساں پَرِتْرانے سَمَرْتھَں روپِتَں واکْیَں نَمْرَبھاوینَ گرِہْلِیتَ۔ | 21 |
Therefore take off all sinful filth and abundant amounts of evil. In humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
| اَپَرَنْچَ یُویَں کیوَلَمْ آتْمَوَنْچَیِتارو واکْیَسْیَ شْروتارو نَ بھَوَتَ کِنْتُ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِنو بھَوَتَ۔ | 22 |
Be doers of the word and not only hearers, deceiving yourselves.
| یَتو یَح کَشْچِدْ واکْیَسْیَ کَرْمَّکارِی نَ بھُوتْوا کیوَلَں تَسْیَ شْروتا بھَوَتِ سَ دَرْپَنے سْوِییَشارِیرِکَوَدَنَں نِرِیکْشَمانَسْیَ مَنُجَسْیَ سَدرِشَح۔ | 23 |
For if anyone is a hearer of the word but not a doer, he is like a man who examines his natural face in a mirror.
| آتْماکارے درِشْٹے سَ پْرَسْتھایَ کِیدرِشَ آسِیتْ تَتْ تَتْکْشَنادْ وِسْمَرَتِ۔ | 24 |
He examines himself and then goes away and immediately forgets what he was like.
| کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ نَتْوا مُکْتیح سِدّھاں وْیَوَسْتھامْ آلوکْیَ تِشْٹھَتِ سَ وِسْمرِتِیُکْتَح شْروتا نَ بھُوتْوا کَرْمَّکَرْتَّیوَ سَنْ سْوَکارْیّے دھَنْیو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 25 |
But the person who looks carefully into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so, not just being a hearer who forgets, this man will be blessed in his actions.
| اَنایَتَّرَسَنَح سَنْ یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوَمَنو وَنْچَیِتْوا سْوَں بھَکْتَں مَنْیَتے تَسْیَ بھَکْتِ رْمُدھا بھَوَتِ۔ | 26 |
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, but if he does not control his tongue, he deceives his heart, and his religion is worthless.
| کْلیشَکالے پِترِہِیناناں وِدھَوانانْچَ یَدْ اَویکْشَنَں سَںساراچَّ نِشْکَلَنْکینَ یَدْ آتْمَرَکْشَنَں تَدیوَ پِتُرِیشْوَرَسْیَ ساکْشاتْ شُچِ رْنِرْمَّلا چَ بھَکْتِح۔ | 27 |
Religion that is pure and unspoiled before our God and Father is to help the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
