1. സഹോദരന്മാരേ, അവര് രക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടേണം എന്നു തന്നേ എന്റെ ഹൃദയവാഞ്ഛയും അവര്ക്കുംവേണ്ടി ദൈവത്തൊടുള്ള യാചനയും ആകുന്നു.

1. సహోదరులారా, ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు రక్షణపొందవలెనని నా హృదయాభిలాషయు, వారి విషయమై నేను దేవునికి చేయు ప్రార్థనయునై యున్నవి.

2. അവര് പരിജ്ഞാനപ്രകാരമല്ലെങ്കിലും ദൈവത്തെ സംബന്ധിച്ചു എരിവുള്ളവര് എന്നു ഞാന് അവര്ക്കും സാക്ഷ്യം പറയുന്നു.

2. వారు దేవుని యందు ఆసక్తిగలవారని వారినిగూర్చి సాక్ష్యమిచ్చుచున్నాను; అయినను వారి ఆసక్తి జ్ఞానానుసారమైనది కాదు.

3. അവര് ദൈവത്തിന്റെ നീതി അറിയാതെ സ്വന്ത നീതി സ്ഥാപിപ്പാന് അന്വേഷിച്ചുകൊണ്ടു ദൈവത്തിന്റെ നീതിക്കു കീഴ്പെട്ടില്ല.

3. ఏలయనగా వారు దేవుని నీతినెరుగక తమ స్వనీతిని స్థాపింప బూనుకొనుచు దేవుని నీతికి లోబడలేదు.

4. വിശ്വസിക്കുന്ന ഏവന്നും നീതി ലഭിപ്പാന് ക്രിസ്തു ന്യായപ്രമാണത്തിന്റെ അവസാനം ആകുന്നു.

4. విశ్వసించు ప్రతివానికి నీతి కలుగుటకై క్రీస్తు ధర్మశాస్త్రమునకు సమాప్తియై యున్నాడు.

5. ന്യായപ്രമാണത്താലുള്ള നീതി സംബന്ധിച്ചു“അതു ചെയ്ത മനുഷ്യന് അതിനാല് ജീവിക്കും” എന്നു മോശെ എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നുവല്ലോ.
ലേവ്യപുസ്തകം 18:5

5. ధర్మశాస్త్ర మూలమగు నీతిని నెరవేర్చువాడు దానివలననే జీవించునని మోషే వ్రాయుచున్నాడు.

6. വിശ്വാസത്താലുള്ള നീതിയോ ഇവ്വണ്ണം പറയുന്നു“ക്രിസ്തുവിനെ ഇറക്കേണം എന്നു വിചാരിച്ചു ആര് സ്വര്ഗ്ഗത്തില് കയറും എന്നോ,
ആവർത്തനം 9:4, ആവർത്തനം 30:12-14

6. అయితే విశ్వాసమూలమగు నీతి యీలాగు చెప్పుచున్నది ఎవడు పరలోకములోనికి ఎక్కిపోవును? అనగా క్రీస్తును క్రిందికి తెచ్చుటకు;

7. ക്രിസ്തുവിനെ മരിച്ചവരുടെ ഇടയില് നിന്നു കയറ്റേണം എന്നു വിചാരിച്ചു ആര് പാതാളത്തില് ഇറങ്ങും എന്നോ നിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തില് പറയരുതു.”

7. లేక ఎవడు అగాధములోనికి దిగిపోవును? అనగా క్రీస్తును మృతులలోనుండి పైకి తెచ్చుటకు అని నీవు నీ హృదయములో అనుకొనవద్దు.

8. എന്നാല് അതു എന്തു പറയുന്നു? “വചനം നിനക്കു സമീപമായി നിന്റെ വായിലും നിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിലും ഇരിക്കുന്നു;” അതു ഞങ്ങള് പ്രസംഗിക്കുന്ന വിശ്വാസ വചനം തന്നേ.

8. అదేమని చెప్పుచున్నది? వాక్యము నీయొద్దను, నీ నోటను నీ హృదయములోను ఉన్నది; అది మేము ప్రకటించు విశ్వాసవాక్యమే.

9. യേശുവിനെ കര്ത്താവു എന്നു വായികൊണ്ടു ഏറ്റുപറകയും ദൈവം അവനെ മരിച്ചവരില് നിന്നു ഉയിര്ത്തെഴുന്നേല്പിച്ചു എന്നു ഹൃദയംകൊണ്ടു വിശ്വസിക്കയും ചെയ്താല് നീ രക്ഷപ്പെടും.

9. అదేమనగా యేసు ప్రభువని నీ నోటితో ఒప్పుకొని, దేవుడు మృతులలోనుండి ఆయనను లేపెనని నీ హృదయ మందు విశ్వసించినయెడల, నీవు రక్షింపబడుదువు.

10. ഹൃദയം കൊണ്ടു നീതിക്കായി വിശ്വസിക്കയും വായികൊണ്ടു രക്ഷെക്കായി ഏറ്റുപറകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.

10. ఏలయనగా నీతి కలుగునట్లు మనుష్యుడు హృదయములో విశ్వసించును, రక్షణ కలుగునట్లు నోటితో ఒప్పుకొనును.

11. “അവനില് വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നവന് ഒരുത്തനും ലജ്ജിച്ചു പോകയില്ല” എന്നു തിരുവെഴുത്തില് അരുളിച്ചെയ്യുന്നുവല്ലോ.
യെശയ്യാ 28:16

11. ఏమనగా, ఆయనయందు విశ్వాసముంచు వాడెవడును సిగ్గుపడడని లేఖనము చెప్పుచున్నది.

12. യെഹൂദന് എന്നും യവനന് എന്നും വ്യത്യാസമില്ല; എല്ലാവര്ക്കും കര്ത്താവു ഒരുവന് തന്നേ; അവന് തന്നെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാവര്ക്കും നല്കുവാന്തക്കവണ്ണം സമ്പന്നന് ആകുന്നു.

12. యూదుడని గ్రీసు దేశస్థుడని భేదము లేదు; ఒక్క ప్రభువే అందరికి ప్రభువై యుండి, తనకు ప్రార్థనచేయువారందరియెడల కృప చూపుటకు ఐశ్వర్యవంతుడై యున్నాడు.

13. “കര്ത്താവിന്റെ നാമത്തെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കുന്ന ഏവനും രക്ഷിക്കപ്പെടും” എന്നുണ്ടല്ലോ.
യോവേൽ 2:32

13. ఎందుకనగా ప్రభువు నామమునుబట్టి ప్రార్థనచేయు వాడెవడోవాడు రక్షింపబడును.

14. എന്നാല് അവര് വിശ്വസിക്കാത്തവനെ എങ്ങനെ വിളിച്ചപേക്ഷിക്കും? അവര് കേട്ടിട്ടില്ലാത്തവനില് എങ്ങനെ വിശ്വസിക്കും? പ്രസംഗിക്കുന്നവന് ഇല്ലാതെ എങ്ങനെ കേള്ക്കും? ആരും അയക്കാതെ എങ്ങനെ പ്രസംഗിക്കും? “നന്മ സുവിശേഷിക്കുന്നവരുടെ കാല് എത്ര മനോഹരം” എന്നു എഴുതിയിരിക്കുന്നുവല്ലോ.

14. వారు విశ్వసింపనివానికి ఎట్లు ప్రార్థన చేయుదురు? విననివానిని ఎట్లు విశ్వసించుదురు? ప్రకటించువాడు లేకుండ వారెట్లు విందురు?

15. എങ്കിലും എല്ലാവരും സുവിശേഷം അനുസരിച്ചിട്ടില്ല“കര്ത്താവേ, ഞങ്ങള് കേള്പ്പിച്ചതു ആര് വിശ്വസിച്ചു” എന്നു യെശയ്യാവു പറയുന്നുവല്ലോ.
യെശയ്യാ 52:7, നഹൂം 1:15

15. ప్రకటించువారు పంపబడని యెడల ఎట్లు ప్రకటించుదురు? ఇందు విషయమై ఉత్తమమైన వాటినిగూర్చిన సువార్త ప్రకటించువారిపాదములెంతో సుందరమైనవి అని వ్రాయబడి యున్నది

16. ആകയാല് വിശ്വാസം കേള്വിയാലും കേള്വി ക്രിസ്തുവിന്റെ വചനത്താലും വരുന്നു.
യെശയ്യാ 53:1

16. అయినను అందరు సువార్తకు లోబడలేదు ప్రభువా, మేము తెలియజేసిన సమాచారమెవడు నమ్మెను అని యెషయా చెప్పుచున్నాడు గదా?

17. എന്നാല് അവര് കേട്ടില്ലയോ എന്നു ഞാന് ചോദിക്കുന്നു. കേട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു നിശ്ചയം“അവരുടെ നാദം സര്വ്വ ഭൂമിയിലും അവരുടെ വചനം ഭൂതലത്തിന്റെ അറ്റത്തോളവും പരന്നു.”

17. కాగా వినుట వలన విశ్వాసము కలుగును; వినుట క్రీస్తును గూర్చిన మాటవలన కలుగును.

18. എന്നാല് യിസ്രായേല് ഗ്രഹിച്ചില്ലയോ എന്നു ഞാന് ചോദിക്കുന്നു. “ജനമല്ലാത്തവരെക്കൊണ്ടു ഞാന് നിങ്ങള്ക്കു എരിവു വരുത്തും; മൂഡജാതിയെക്കൊണ്ടു നിങ്ങള്ക്കു കോപം ജനിപ്പിക്കും” എന്നു ഒന്നാമതു മോശെ പറയുന്നു.
സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 19:4

18. అయినను నేను చెప్పునదేమనగా, వారు వినలేదా? విన్నారు గదా? వారి స్వరము భూలోకమందంతటికిని, వారిమాటలు భూదిగంతములవరకును బయలువెళ్లెను.

19. യെശയ്യാവോ“എന്നെ അന്വേഷിക്കാത്തവര് എന്നെ കണ്ടെത്തി; എന്നെ ചോദിക്കാത്തവര്ക്കും ഞാന് പ്രത്യക്ഷനായി” എന്നു ധൈര്യത്തോടെ പറയുന്നു.
ആവർത്തനം 32:21

19. మరియు నేను చెప్పునదేమనగా ఇశ్రాయేలునకు తెలియకుండెనా? జనము కానివారివలన మీకు రోషము పుట్టించెదను, అవివేకమైన జనమువలన మీకు ఆగ్రహము కలుగజేతును. అని మొదట మోషే చెప్పుచున్నాడు.

20. യിസ്രായേലിനെക്കുറിച്ചോ“അനുസരിക്കാത്തതും മറുത്തുപറയുന്നതുമായ ജനത്തിങ്കലേക്കു ഞാന് ഇടവിടാതെ കൈനീട്ടി” എന്നു അവന് പറയുന്നു.
യെശയ്യാ 65:1-2

20. మరియు యెషయా తెగించి నన్ను వెదకనివారికి నేను దొరకితిని; నన్ను విచారింపనివారికి ప్రత్యక్షమైతిని అని చెప్పుచున్నాడు.
