Adhyāya 4
tum men ladaiyan aur jhgade kahan se a gaae? kya un sukh-avilason se naheen jo tumhare angon men ladte-bhaidte haain?
2 tum lalasa rakhte ho, aur tumhen milata naheen tum hatya aur dah karate ho, or kuchh praapt naheen kar sakate tum jhgadte aur ladte ho tumhen isaliye naheen milata, ki mangate naheen.
3 tum mangate ho aur pate nahee, isaaliye ki buree ichchha se mangate ho, taki apane bhog vilas men uda do.
4 he vyabhaichaarinaiyo, kya tum naheen janatee, ki sansar se mitrata karanee parameshvar se baair karana haai? so jo koi sansar ka mitra hona chahata haai, vah apane ap ko parameshvar ka baairee banata haai.
5 kya tum yah samajhte ho, ki pavitra shaasr vyarth kahata haai? jis atma ko us ne hamare bheetar basaya haai, kya vah aeesee lalasa karata haai, jis ka pratifal dah ho?
6 vah to aur bhee anugrah deta haai is karan yah likha haai, ki parameshvar abhaimaaniyon se virodha karata haai, par deenon par anugrah karata haai.
7 isaliye parameshvar ke adhaeen ho jao aur shautan ka samhana karo, to vah tumhare pas se bhag nikalega.
8 parameshvar ke nikatt ao, to vah bhee tumhare nikatt aaega: he paapiyo, apane hath shuuddh karo aur he duchitte logon apane day ko paavitra karo.
9 dukhee hoo, aur shaek kara, aur roo: tumharee hansee shaek se aur tumhara anand udasee se badal jaae.
10 prabhu ke samhane deen bano, to vah tumhen shairomanai banaaega.
11 he bhaiyo, aek doosare kee badanamee n karo, jo apane bhai kee badanamee karata haai, ya bhai par dosh lagata haai, vah vyavastha kee badanamee karata haai, aur vyavastha par dosh lagata haai, to too vyavastha par chalanevala nahee, par us par hakim tthara.
12 vyavastha denevala aur hakim to aek hee haai, jise bachane aur nash karane kee samarth haai too kaun haai, jo apane padosee par dosh lagata haai?
13 tum jo yah kahate ho, ki aj ya kal ham kisee aur nagar men jakar vahan aek varsha bitaaenge, aur vyapar karake labh uttaaenge.
14 aur yah naheen janate ki kal kya hoga: sun to lo, tumhara jeevan haai hee kya? tum to mano bhap saman ho, jo thodee der dikhai detee haai, fir lop ho jatee haai.
15 is ke vipareet tumhen yah kahana chahia, ki yadi prabhu chahe to ham jeevit rahenge, aur yah ya vah kam bhee karenge.
16 par ab tum apanee deeng par ghamand karate ho aeesa sab ghamand bura hota haai.
17 isaliye jo koi bhlai karana janata haai aur naheen karata, usake liye yah pap haai..
