یاکُوبَح 2
| ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، یُویَمْ اَسْماکَں تیجَسْوِنَح پْرَبھو رْیِیشُکھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ دھَرْمَّں مُکھاپیکْشَیا نَ دھارَیَتَ۔ | 1 |
My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
| یَتو یُشْماکَں سَبھایاں سْوَرْنانْگُرِییَکَیُکْتے بھْراجِشْنُپَرِچّھَدے پُرُشے پْرَوِشْٹے مَلِنَوَسْتْرے کَسْمِںشْچِدْ دَرِدْرےپِ پْرَوِشْٹی | 2 |
For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your synagogue, and a poor man in filthy clothing also comes in,
| یُویَں یَدِ تَں بھْراجِشْنُپَرِچّھَدَوَسانَں جَنَں نِرِیکْشْیَ وَدیتَ بھَوانْ اَتْروتَّمَسْتھانَ اُپَوِشَتْوِتِ کِنْچَ تَں دَرِدْرَں یَدِ وَدیتَ تْوَمْ اَمُسْمِنْ سْتھانے تِشْٹھَ یَدْواتْرَ مَمَ پادَپِیٹھَ اُپَوِشیتِ، | 3 |
and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”
| تَرْہِ مَنَحسُ وِشیشْیَ یُویَں کِں کُتَرْکَیح کُوِچارَکا نَ بھَوَتھَ؟ | 4 |
haven’t you shown partiality amongst yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
| ہے مَمَ پْرِیَبھْراتَرَح، شرِنُتَ، سَںسارے یے دَرِدْراسْتانْ اِیشْوَرو وِشْواسینَ دھَنِنَح سْوَپْریمَکارِبھْیَشْچَ پْرَتِشْرُتَسْیَ راجْیَسْیادھِکارِنَح کَرْتُّں کِں نَ وَرِیتَوانْ؟ کِنْتُ دَرِدْرو یُشْمابھِرَوَجْنایَتے۔ | 5 |
Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
| دھَنَوَنْتَ ایوَ کِں یُشْمانْ نوپَدْرَوَنْتِ بَلاچَّ وِچاراسَناناں سَمِیپَں نَ نَیَنْتِ؟ | 6 |
But you have dishonoured the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
| یُشْمَدُپَرِ پَرِکِیرْتِّتَں پَرَمَں نامَ کِں تَیریوَ نَ نِنْدْیَتے؟ | 7 |
Don’t they blaspheme the honourable name by which you are called?
| کِنْچَ تْوَں سْوَسَمِیپَواسِنِ سْواتْمَوَتْ پْرِییَسْوَ، ایتَچّھاسْتْرِییَوَچَنانُسارَتو یَدِ یُویَں راجَکِییَوْیَوَسْتھاں پالَیَتھَ تَرْہِ بھَدْرَں کُرُتھَ۔ | 8 |
However, if you fulfil the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself,” you do well.
| یَدِ چَ مُکھاپیکْشاں کُرُتھَ تَرْہِ پاپَمْ آچَرَتھَ وْیَوَسْتھَیا چاجْنالَنْگھِنَ اِوَ دُوشْیَدھْوے۔ | 9 |
But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
| یَتو یَح کَشْچِتْ کرِتْسْناں وْیَوَسْتھاں پالَیَتِ سَ یَدْییکَسْمِنْ وِدھَو سْکھَلَتِ تَرْہِ سَرْوّیشامْ اَپَرادھِی بھَوَتِ۔ | 10 |
For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
| یَتو ہیتوسْتْوَں پَرَدارانْ ما گَچّھیتِ یَح کَتھِتَوانْ سَ ایوَ نَرَہَتْیاں ما کُرْیّا اِتْیَپِ کَتھِتَوانْ تَسْماتْ تْوَں پَرَدارانْ نَ گَتْوا یَدِ نَرَہَتْیاں کَروشِ تَرْہِ وْیَوَسْتھالَنْگھِی بھَوَسِ۔ | 11 |
For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
| مُکْتے رْوْیَوَسْتھاتو ییشاں وِچارینَ بھَوِتَوْیَں تادرِشا لوکا اِوَ یُویَں کَتھاں کَتھَیَتَ کَرْمَّ کُرُتَ چَ۔ | 12 |
So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
| یو دَیاں ناچَرَتِ تَسْیَ وِچارو نِرْدَّیینَ کارِشْیَتے، کِنْتُ دَیا وِچارَمْ اَبھِبھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 13 |
For judgement is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgement.
| ہے مَمَ بھْراتَرَح، مَمَ پْرَتْیَیوسْتِیتِ یَح کَتھَیَتِ تَسْیَ کَرْمّانِ یَدِ نَ وِدْیَنْتَ تَرْہِ تینَ کِں پھَلَں؟ تینَ پْرَتْیَیینَ کِں تَسْیَ پَرِتْرانَں بھَوِتُں شَکْنوتِ؟ | 14 |
What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
| کیشُچِدْ بھْراترِشُ بھَگِنِیشُ وا وَسَنَہِینیشُ پْراتْیَہِکاہارَہِینیشُ چَ سَتْسُ یُشْماکَں کوپِ تیبھْیَح شَرِیرارْتھَں پْرَیوجَنِییانِ دْرَوْیانِ نَ دَتْوا یَدِ تانْ وَدیتْ، | 15 |
And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
| یُویَں سَکُشَلَں گَتْووشْنَگاتْرا بھَوَتَ ترِپْیَتَ چیتِ تَرْہْییتینَ کِں پھَلَں؟ | 16 |
and one of you tells them, “Go in peace. Be warmed and filled;” yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?
| تَدْوَتْ پْرَتْیَیو یَدِ کَرْمَّبھِ رْیُکْتو نَ بھَویتْ تَرْہْییکاکِتْواتْ مرِتَ ایواسْتے۔ | 17 |
Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
| کِنْچَ کَشْچِدْ اِدَں وَدِشْیَتِ تَوَ پْرَتْیَیو وِدْیَتے مَمَ چَ کَرْمّانِ وِدْیَنْتے، تْوَں کَرْمَّہِینَں سْوَپْرَتْیَیَں ماں دَرْشَیَ تَرْہْیَہَمَپِ مَتْکَرْمَّبھْیَح سْوَپْرَتْیَیَں تْواں دَرْشَیِشْیامِ۔ | 18 |
Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
| ایکَ اِیشْوَرو سْتِیتِ تْوَں پْرَتْییشِ۔ بھَدْرَں کَروشِ۔ بھُوتا اَپِ تَتْ پْرَتِیَنْتِ کَمْپَنْتے چَ۔ | 19 |
You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
| کِنْتُ ہے نِرْبّودھَمانَوَ، کَرْمَّہِینَح پْرَتْیَیو مرِتَ ایواسْتْییتَدْ اَوَگَنْتُں کِمْ اِچّھَسِ؟ | 20 |
But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
| اَسْماکَں پُورْوَّپُرُشو یَ اِبْراہِیمْ سْوَپُتْرَمْ اِسْہاکَں یَجْنَویدْیامْ اُتْسرِشْٹَوانْ سَ کِں کَرْمَّبھْیو نَ سَپُنْیِیکرِتَح؟ | 21 |
Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
| پْرَتْیَیے تَسْیَ کَرْمَّناں سَہَکارِنِ جاتے کَرْمَّبھِح پْرَتْیَیَح سِدّھو بھَوَتْ تَتْ کِں پَشْیَسِ؟ | 22 |
You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
| اِتّھَنْچیدَں شاسْتْرِییَوَچَنَں سَپھَلَمْ اَبھَوَتْ، اِبْراہِیمْ پَرَمیشْوَرے وِشْوَسِتَوانْ تَچَّ تَسْیَ پُنْیایاگَنْیَتَ سَ چیشْوَرَسْیَ مِتْرَ اِتِ نامَ لَبْدھَوانْ۔ | 23 |
So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God.
| پَشْیَتَ مانَوَح کَرْمَّبھْیَح سَپُنْیِیکْرِیَتے نَ چَیکاکِنا پْرَتْیَیینَ۔ | 24 |
You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
| تَدْوَدْ یا راہَبْنامِکا وارانْگَنا چارانْ اَنُگرِہْیاپَرینَ مارْگینَ وِسَسَرْجَ ساپِ کِں کَرْمَّبھْیو نَ سَپُنْیِیکرِتا؟ | 25 |
In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
| اَتَایواتْمَہِینو دیہو یَتھا مرِتوسْتِ تَتھَیوَ کَرْمَّہِینَح پْرَتْیَیوپِ مرِتوسْتِ۔ | 26 |
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
