James 5
1 Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.
he dhanavanta. h, yuuyam idaanii. m "s. r.nuta yu. smaabhiraagami. syatkle"saheto. h krandyataa. m vilapyataa nca|
2 Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
yu. smaaka. m dravi. na. m jiir. na. m kii. tabhuktaa. h sucelakaa. h|
3 Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.
kanaka. m rajata ncaapi vik. rti. m pragami. syati, tatkala"nka"sca yu. smaaka. m paapa. m pramaa. nayi. syati, hutaa"savacca yu. smaaka. m pi"sita. m khaadayi. syati| ittham antimaghasre. su yu. smaabhi. h sa ncita. m dhana. m|
4 See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.
pa"syata yai. h k. r.siivalai ryu. smaaka. m "sasyaani chinnaani tebhyo yu. smaabhi ryad vetana. m chinna. m tad uccai rdhvani. m karoti te. saa. m "sasyacchedakaanaam aarttaraava. h senaapate. h parame"svarasya kar. nakuhara. m pravi. s.ta. h|
5 You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.
yuuya. m p. rthivyaa. m sukhabhoga. m kaamukataa ncaaritavanta. h, mahaabhojasya dina iva nijaanta. hkara. naani paritarpitavanta"sca|
6 You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.
apara nca yu. smaabhi rdhaarmmikasya da. n.daaj naa hatyaa caakaari tathaapi sa yu. smaan na pratiruddhavaan|
7 Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.
he bhraatara. h, yuuya. m prabhoraagamana. m yaavad dhairyyamaalambadhva. m| pa"syata k. r.sivalo bhuume rbahumuulya. m phala. m pratiik. samaa. no yaavat prathamam antima nca v. r.s. tijala. m na praapnoti taavad dhairyyam aalambate|
8 Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
yuuyamapi dhairyyamaalambya svaanta. hkara. naani sthiriikuruta, yata. h prabhorupasthiti. h samiipavarttinyabhavat|
9 Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.
he bhraatara. h, yuuya. m yad da. n.dyaa na bhaveta tadartha. m paraspara. m na glaayata, pa"syata vicaarayitaa dvaarasamiipe ti. s.thati|
10 Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
he mama bhraatara. h, ye bhavi. syadvaadina. h prabho rnaamnaa bhaa. sitavantastaan yuuya. m du. hkhasahanasya dhairyyasya ca d. r.s. taantaan jaaniita|
11 We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.
pa"syata dhairyya"siilaa asmaabhi rdhanyaa ucyante| aayuubo dhairyya. m yu. smaabhira"sraavi prabho. h pari. naama"scaadar"si yata. h prabhu rbahuk. rpa. h sakaru. na"scaasti|
12 But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
he bhraatara. h vi"se. sata ida. m vadaami svargasya vaa p. rthivyaa vaanyavastuno naama g. rhiitvaa yu. smaabhi. h ko. api "sapatho na kriyataa. m, kintu yathaa da. n.dyaa na bhavata tadartha. m yu. smaaka. m tathaiva tannahi cetivaakya. m yathe. s.ta. m bhavatu|
13 Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.
yu. smaaka. m ka"scid du. hkhii bhavati? sa praarthanaa. m karotu| ka"scid vaanandito bhavati? sa giita. m gaayatu|
14 Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.
yu. smaaka. m ka"scit pii. dito. asti? sa samite. h praaciinaan aahvaatu te ca pabho rnaamnaa ta. m tailenaabhi. sicya tasya k. rte praarthanaa. m kurvvantu|
15 And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
tasmaad vi"svaasajaatapraarthanayaa sa rogii rak. saa. m yaasyati prabhu"sca tam utthaapayi. syati yadi ca k. rtapaapo bhavet tarhi sa ta. m k. sami. syate|
16 So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
yuuya. m parasparam aparaadhaan a"ngiikurudhvam aarogyapraaptyartha ncaikajano. anyasya k. rte praarthanaa. m karotu dhaarmmikasya sayatnaa praarthanaa bahu"saktivi"si. s.taa bhavati|
17 Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.
ya eliyo vayamiva sukhadu. hkhabhogii marttya aasiit sa praarthanayaanaav. r.s. ti. m yaacitavaan tena de"se saarddhavatsaratraya. m yaavad v. r.s. ti rna babhuuva|
18 And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.
pa"scaat tena puna. h praarthanaayaa. m k. rtaayaam aakaa"sastoyaanyavar. siit p. rthivii ca svaphalaani praarohayat|
19 My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,
he bhraatara. h, yu. smaaka. m kasmi. m"scit satyamataad bhra. s.te yadi ka"scit ta. m paraavarttayati
20 Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.
tarhi yo jana. h paapina. m vipathabhrama. naat paraavarttayati sa tasyaatmaana. m m. rtyuta uddhari. syati bahupaapaanyaavari. syati ceti jaanaatu|
