James 4
1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?
yu. smaaka. m madhye samaraa ra. na"sca kuta utpadyante? yu. smada"nga"sibiraa"sritaabhya. h sukhecchaabhya. h ki. m notpadyante?
2 You lust, and don’t have. You murder and covet, and can’t obtain. You fight and make war. You don’t have, because you don’t ask.
yuuya. m vaa nchatha kintu naapnutha, yuuya. m narahatyaam iir. syaa nca kurutha kintu k. rtaarthaa bhavitu. m na "saknutha, yuuya. m yudhyatha ra. na. m kurutha ca kintvapraaptaasti. s.thatha, yato heto. h praarthanaa. m na kurutha|
3 You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
yuuya. m praarthayadhve kintu na labhadhve yato heto. h svasukhabhoge. su vyayaartha. m ku praarthayadhve|
4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?
yuuya. m ki. m manyadhve? "saastrasya vaakya. m ki. m phalahiina. m bhavet? asmadantarvaasii ya aatmaa sa vaa kim iir. syaartha. m prema karoti?
6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
ataeva yuuyam ii"svarasya va"syaa bhavata "sayataana. m sa. mrundha tena sa yu. smatta. h palaayi. syate|
8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 Lament, mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
yuuyam udvijadhva. m "socata vilapata ca, yu. smaaka. m haasa. h "sokaaya, aananda"sca kaatarataayai parivarttetaa. m|
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

11 Don’t speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
he bhraatara. h, yuuya. m paraspara. m maa duu. sayata| ya. h ka"scid bhraatara. m duu. sayati bhraatu rvicaara nca karoti sa vyavasthaa. m duu. sayati vyavasthaayaa"sca vicaara. m karoti| tva. m yadi vyavasthaayaa vicaara. m karo. si tarhi vyavasthaapaalayitaa na bhavasi kintu vicaarayitaa bhavasi|
12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
advitiiyo vyavasthaapako vicaarayitaa ca sa evaaste yo rak. situ. m naa"sayitu nca paarayati| kintu kastva. m yat parasya vicaara. m karo. si?
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.”
adya "svo vaa vayam amukanagara. m gatvaa tatra var. sameka. m yaapayanto vaa. nijya. m kari. syaama. h laabha. m praapsyaama"sceti kathaa. m bhaa. samaa. naa yuuyam idaanii. m "s. r.nuta|
14 Yet you don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
"sva. h ki. m gha. ti. syate tad yuuya. m na jaaniitha yato jiivana. m vo bhavet kiid. rk tattu baa. spasvaruupaka. m, k. sa. namaatra. m bhaved d. r"sya. m lupyate ca tata. h para. m|
15 For you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that.”
tadanuktvaa yu. smaakam ida. m kathaniiya. m prabhoricchaato vaya. m yadi jiivaamastarhyetat karmma tat karmma vaa kari. syaama iti|
16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
kintvidaanii. m yuuya. m garvvavaakyai. h "slaaghana. m kurudhve taad. r"sa. m sarvva. m "slaaghana. m kutsitameva|
17 To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.
