James 2
1 My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with partiality.
he mama bhraatara. h, yuuyam asmaaka. m tejasvina. h prabho ryii"sukhrii. s.tasya dharmma. m mukhaapek. sayaa na dhaarayata|
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,
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
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”
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,
4 haven’t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
tarhi mana. hsu vi"se. sya yuuya. m ki. m kutarkai. h kuvicaarakaa na bhavatha?
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?
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|
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?
dhanavanta eva ki. m yu. smaan nopadravanti balaacca vicaaraasanaanaa. m samiipa. m na nayanti?
7 Don’t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
yu. smadupari parikiirttita. m parama. m naama ki. m taireva na nindyate?
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
ki nca tva. m svasamiipavaasini svaatmavat priiyasva, etacchaastriiyavacanaanusaarato yadi yuuya. m raajakiiyavyavasthaa. m paalayatha tarhi bhadra. m kurutha|
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
yadi ca mukhaapek. saa. m kurutha tarhi paapam aacaratha vyavasthayaa caaj naala"nghina iva duu. syadhve|
10 For whoever keeps the whole law, and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
yato ya. h ka"scit k. rtsnaa. m vyavasthaa. m paalayati sa yadyekasmin vidhau skhalati tarhi sarvve. saam aparaadhii bhavati|
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.
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|
12 So speak and so do as men who are to be judged by the law of freedom.
mukte rvyavasthaato ye. saa. m vicaare. na bhavitavya. m taad. r"saa lokaa iva yuuya. m kathaa. m kathayata karmma kuruta ca|
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
yo dayaa. m naacarati tasya vicaaro nirddayena kaari. syate, kintu dayaa vicaaram abhibhavi. syati|
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?
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?
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,
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,
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?
yuuya. m saku"sala. m gatvo. s.nagaatraa bhavata t. rpyata ceti tarhyetena ki. m phala. m?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.
tadvat pratyayo yadi karmmabhi ryukto na bhavet tarhyekaakitvaat m. rta evaaste|
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.
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|
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe—and shudder.
eka ii"svaro. astiiti tva. m pratye. si| bhadra. m karo. si| bhuutaa api tat pratiyanti kampante ca|
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?
kintu he nirbbodhamaanava, karmmahiina. h pratyayo m. rta evaastyetad avagantu. m kim icchasi?
21 Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
asmaaka. m puurvvapuru. so ya ibraahiim svaputram ishaaka. m yaj navedyaam uts. r.s. tavaan sa ki. m karmmabhyo na sapu. nyiik. rta. h?
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected.
pratyaye tasya karmma. naa. m sahakaari. ni jaate karmmabhi. h pratyaya. h siddho. abhavat tat ki. m pa"syasi?
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.
ittha nceda. m "saastriiyavacana. m saphalam abhavat, ibraahiim parame"svare vi"svasitavaan tacca tasya pu. nyaayaaga. nyata sa ce"svarasya mitra iti naama labdhavaan|
24 You see then that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.
pa"syata maanava. h karmmabhya. h sapu. nyiikriyate na caikaakinaa pratyayena|
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?
tadvad yaa raahabnaamikaa vaaraa"nganaa caaraan anug. rhyaapare. na maarge. na visasarja saapi ki. m karmmabhyo na sapu. nyiik. rtaa?
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.
ataevaatmahiino deho yathaa m. rto. asti tathaiva karmmahiina. h pratyayo. api m. rto. asti|
