1 he mama bhraatara. h, yuuyam asmaaka. m tejasvina. h prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya dharmma. m mukhaapek. sayaa na dhaarayata|
My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
2 yato yu. smaaka. m sabhaayaa. m svar. naa"nguriiyakayukte bhraaji. s.nuparicchade puru. se pravi. s.te malinavastre kasmi. m"scid daridre. api pravi. s.te
For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;
3 yuuya. m yadi ta. m bhraaji. s.nuparicchadavasaana. m jana. m niriik. sya vadeta bhavaan atrottamasthaana upavi"satviti ki nca ta. m daridra. m yadi vadeta tvam amusmin sthaane ti. s.tha yadvaatra mama paadapii. tha upavi"seti,
and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;
4 tarhi mana. hsu vi"se. sya yuuya. m ki. m kutarkai. h kuvicaarakaa na bhavatha?
are ye not divided in your own mind, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 he mama priyabhraatara. h, "s. r.nuta, sa. msaare ye daridraastaan ii"svaro vi"svaasena dhanina. h svapremakaaribhya"sca prati"srutasya raajyasyaadhikaari. na. h karttu. m ki. m na variitavaan? kintu daridro yu. smaabhiravaj naayate|
Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?
6 dhanavanta eva ki. m yu. smaan nopadravanti balaacca vicaaraasanaanaa. m samiipa. m na nayanti?
But ye have dishonoured the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?
7 yu. smadupari parikiirttita. m parama. m naama ki. m taireva na nindyate?
Do not they blaspheme the honourable name by the which ye are called?
8 ki nca tva. m svasamiipavaasini svaatmavat priiyasva, etacchaastriiyavacanaanusaarato yadi yuuya. m raajakiiyavyavasthaa. m paalayatha tarhi bhadra. m kurutha|
Howbeit if ye fulfill the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 yadi ca mukhaapek. saa. m kurutha tarhi paapam aacaratha vyavasthayaa caaj naala"nghina iva duu. syadhve|
but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
10 yato ya. h ka"scit k. rtsnaa. m vyavasthaa. m paalayati sa yadyekasmin vidhau skhalati tarhi sarvve. saam aparaadhii bhavati|
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.
11 yato hetostva. m paradaaraan maa gaccheti ya. h kathitavaan sa eva narahatyaa. m maa kuryyaa ityapi kathitavaan tasmaat tva. m paradaaraan na gatvaa yadi narahatyaa. m karo. si tarhi vyavasthaala"nghii bhavasi|
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 mukte rvyavasthaato ye. saa. m vicaare. na bhavitavya. m taad. r"saa lokaa iva yuuya. m kathaa. m kathayata karmma kuruta ca|
So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.
13 yo dayaa. m naacarati tasya vicaaro nirddayena kaari. syate, kintu dayaa vicaaram abhibhavi. syati|
For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath shewed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.
14 he mama bhraatara. h, mama pratyayo. astiiti ya. h kathayati tasya karmmaa. ni yadi na vidyanta tarhi tena ki. m phala. m? tena pratyayena ki. m tasya paritraa. na. m bhavitu. m "saknoti?
What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?
15 ke. sucid bhraat. r.su bhaginii. su vaa vasanahiine. su praatyahikaahaarahiine. su ca satsu yu. smaaka. m ko. api tebhya. h "sariiraartha. m prayojaniiyaani dravyaa. ni na datvaa yadi taan vadet,
If a brother or sister be naked, and in lack of daily food,
16 yuuya. m saku"sala. m gatvo. s.nagaatraa bhavata t. rpyata ceti tarhyetena ki. m phala. m?
and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 tadvat pratyayo yadi karmmabhi ryukto na bhavet tarhyekaakitvaat m. rta evaaste|
Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.
18 ki nca ka"scid ida. m vadi. syati tava pratyayo vidyate mama ca karmmaa. ni vidyante, tva. m karmmahiina. m svapratyaya. m maa. m dar"saya tarhyahamapi matkarmmabhya. h svapratyaya. m tvaa. m dar"sayi. syaami|
Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will shew thee [my] faith.
19 eka ii"svaro. astiiti tva. m pratye. si| bhadra. m karo. si| bhuutaa api tat pratiyanti kampante ca|
Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and shudder.
20 kintu he nirbbodhamaanava, karmmahiina. h pratyayo m. rta evaastyetad avagantu. m kim icchasi?
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?
21 asmaaka. m puurvvapuru. so ya ibraahiim svaputram ishaaka. m yaj navedyaam uts. r.s. tavaan sa ki. m karmmabhyo na sapu. nyiik. rta. h?
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 pratyaye tasya karmma. naa. m sahakaari. ni jaate karmmabhi. h pratyaya. h siddho. abhavat tat ki. m pa"syasi?
Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;
23 ittha nceda. m "saastriiyavacana. m saphalam abhavat, ibraahiim parame"svare vi"svasitavaan tacca tasya pu. nyaayaaga. nyata sa ce"svarasya mitra iti naama labdhavaan|
and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.
24 pa"syata maanava. h karmmabhya. h sapu. nyiikriyate na caikaakinaa pratyayena|
Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
25 tadvad yaa raahabnaamikaa vaaraa"nganaa caaraan anug. rhyaapare. na maarge. na visasarja saapi ki. m karmmabhyo na sapu. nyiik. rtaa?
And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?
26 ataevaatmahiino deho yathaa m. rto. asti tathaiva karmmahiina. h pratyayo. api m. rto. asti|
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
