1. സഹോദരന്മാരേ, തേജസ്സുള്ളവനായി നമ്മുടെ കര്ത്താവായ യേശുക്രിസ്തുവില് വിശ്വസിക്കുന്ന നിങ്ങള് മുഖപക്ഷം കാണിക്കരുതു.
ഇയ്യോബ് 34:19, സങ്കീർത്തനങ്ങൾ 24:7-10

1. నా సహోదరులారా, మహిమాస్వరూపియగు మన ప్రభువైన యేసుక్రీస్తును గూర్చిన విశ్వాసవిషయములో మోమాటముగలవారై యుండకుడి.

2. നിങ്ങളുടെ പള്ളിയില് മോടിയുള്ള വസ്ത്രം ധരിച്ചും പൊന്മോതിരം ഇട്ടുംകൊണ്ടു ഒരുത്തനും മുഷിഞ്ഞ വസ്ത്രം ധരിച്ചോരു ദരിദ്രനും വന്നാല്

2. ఏలాగనగా బంగారు ఉంగరము పెట్టుకొని ప్రశస్త వస్త్రములు ధరించుకొనిన యొకడు మీ సమాజమందిరములోనికి వచ్చినప్పుడు, మురికి బట్టలు కట్టుకొనిన దరిద్రుడును లోపలికి వచ్చినయెడల

3. നിങ്ങള് മോടിയുള്ള വസ്ത്രം ധരിച്ചവനെ നോക്കിഇവിടെ സുഖേന ഇരുന്നാലും എന്നും ദരിദ്രനോടുനീ അവിടെ നില്ക്ക; അല്ലെങ്കില് എന്റെ പാദപീഠത്തിങ്കല് ഇരിക്ക എന്നും പറയുന്നു എങ്കില്

3. మీరు ప్రశస్త వస్త్రములు ధరించుకొనినవానిని చూచి సన్మానించి నీవిక్కడ మంచి స్థలమందు కూర్చుండుమని చెప్పి, ఆ దరిద్రునితో నీవక్కడ నిలువుము, లేక ఇక్కడ నా పాదపీఠమునకు దిగువను కూర్చుండుమని చెప్పినయెడల

4. നിങ്ങള് ഉള്ളില് പ്രാമാണമില്ലാതെ ന്യായരഹിതമായി വിധിക്കുന്നവരായില്ലയോ?

4. మీ మనస్సులలో భేదములు పెట్టుకొని మీరు దురాలోచనతో విమర్శచేసినవారగుదురు కారా?

5. പ്രിയ സഹോദരന്മാരേ, കേള്പ്പിന് ദൈവം ലോകത്തില് ദരിദ്രരായവരെ വിശ്വാസത്തില് സമ്പന്നരും തന്നേ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്നവര്ക്കും വാഗ്ദത്തം ചെയ്ത രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ അവകാശികളുമാകേണ്ടതിന്നു തിരഞ്ഞെടുത്തില്ലയോ? നിങ്ങളോ ദരിദ്രനെ അപമാനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു.

5. నా ప్రియ సహోదరులారా, ఆలకించుడి; ఈ లోక విషయములో దరిద్రులైనవారిని విశ్వాసమందు భాగ్యవంతులుగాను, తన్ను ప్రేమించువారికి తాను వాగ్దానముచేసిన రాజ్యమునకు వారసులుగాను ఉండుటకు దేవుడేర్పరచుకొనలేదా?

6. ധനവാന്മാര് അല്ലയോ നിങ്ങളെ പീഡിപ്പിക്കുന്നതു? അവര് അല്ലയോ നിങ്ങളെ ന്യായസ്ഥാനങ്ങളിലേക്കു ഇഴെച്ചു കൊണ്ടുപോകുന്നതു?

6. అయితే మీరు దరిద్రులను అవమానపరచుదురు. ధనవంతులు మీమీద కఠినముగా అధికారము చూపుదురు; మిమ్మును న్యాయసభలకు ఈడ్చుచున్న వారు వీరే గదా?

7. നിങ്ങളുടെമേല് വിളിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന നല്ല നാമത്തെ അവര് അല്ലയോ ദുഷിക്കുന്നതു?

7. మీకు పెట్టబడిన శ్రేష్ఠమైన నామమును దూషించువారు వీరే గదా?

8. എന്നാല് “കൂട്ടുകാരനെ നിന്നെപ്പോലെ തന്നേ സ്നേഹിക്കേണം” എന്ന തിരുവെഴുത്തിന്നു ഒത്തവണ്ണം രാജകീയന്യായപ്രമാണം നിങ്ങള് നിവര്ത്തിക്കുന്നു എങ്കില് നന്നു.
ലേവ്യപുസ്തകം 19:18

8. మెట్టుకు నీవలె నీ పొరుగువాని ప్రేమించుమను లేఖనములో ఉన్నట్టి ప్రాముఖ్యమైన యీ ఆజ్ఞను మీరు నెరవేర్చినయెడల బాగుగనే ప్రవర్తించువారగుదురు.

9. മുഖപക്ഷം കാണിച്ചാലോ പാപം ചെയ്യുന്നു; നിങ്ങള് ലംഘനക്കാര് എന്നു ന്യായപ്രമാണത്താല് തെളിയുന്നു.
ആവർത്തനം 1:17

9. మీరు పక్షపాతము గలవారైతే ధర్మశాస్త్రమువలన అపరాధులని తీర్చబడి పాపము చేయువారగుదురు.

10. ഒരുത്തന് ന്യായപ്രമാണം മുഴുവനും അനുസരിച്ചു നടന്നിട്ടും ഒന്നില് തെറ്റിയാല് അവന് സകലത്തിന്നും കുറ്റക്കാരനായിത്തീര്ന്നു.

10. ఎవడైనను ధర్మశాస్త్రమంతయు గైకొనియు, ఒక ఆజ్ఞవిషయములో తప్పిపోయినయెడల, ఆజ్ఞలన్నిటి విషయములో అపరాధియగును;

11. വ്യഭിചാരം ചെയ്യരുതു എന്നു കല്പിച്ചവന് കുല ചെയ്യരുതു എന്നും കല്പിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. നീ വ്യഭിചാരം ചെയ്യുന്നില്ലെങ്കിലും കുല ചെയ്യുന്നു എങ്കില് ന്യായപ്രമാണം ലംഘിക്കുന്നവനായിത്തീര്ന്നു.
പുറപ്പാടു് 20:13-16, ആവർത്തനം 5:17, ആവർത്തനം 5:18

11. వ్యభిచరింపవద్దని చెప్పినవాడు నరహత్యచేయ వద్దనియు చెప్పెను గనుక నీవు వ్యభిచరింపకపోయినను నరహత్య చేసినయెడల ధర్మశాస్త్రవిషయములో నపరాధివైతివి.

12. സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യത്തിന്റെ ന്യായപ്രമാണത്താല് വിധിക്കപ്പെടുവാനുള്ളവരെപ്പോലെ സംസാരിക്കയും പ്രവര്ത്തിക്കയും ചെയ്വിന് .

12. స్వాతంత్ర్యము ఇచ్చు నియమము చొప్పున తీర్పుపొందబోవువారికి తగినట్టుగా మాటలాడుడి; ఆలాగుననే ప్రవర్తించుడి.

13. കരുണ കാണിക്കാത്തവന്നു കരുണയില്ലാത്ത ന്യായവിധി ഉണ്ടാകും; കരുണ ന്യായവിധിയെ ജയിച്ചു പ്രശംസിക്കുന്നു.

13. కనికరము చూపనివాడు కనికరములేని తీర్పు పొందును; కనికరము తీర్పును మించి అతిశయపడును.

14. സഹോദരന്മാരേ, ഒരുത്തന് തനിക്കു വിശ്വാസം ഉണ്ടു എന്നു പറകയും പ്രവൃത്തികള് ഇല്ലാതിരിക്കയും ചെയ്താല് ഉപകാരം എന്തു? ആ വിശ്വാസത്താല് അവന് രക്ഷ പ്രാപിക്കുമോ?

14. నా సహోదరులారా, క్రియలు లేనప్పుడు ఎవడైనను తనకు విశ్వాసము కలదని చెప్పినయెడల ఏమి ప్రయోజనము? అట్టి విశ్వాసమతని రక్షింపగలదా?

15. ഒരു സഹോദരനോ, സഹോദരിയോ നഗ്നരും അഹോവൃത്തിക്കു വക ഇല്ലാത്ത വരുമായിരിക്കെ നിങ്ങളില് ഒരുത്തന് അവരോടു

15. సహోదరుడైనను సహోదరియైనను దిగంబరులై ఆ నాటికి భోజనములేక యున్నప్పుడు.

16. സമാധാനത്തോടെ പോയി തീ കായുകയും വിശപ്പടക്കുകയും ചെയ്വിന് എന്നു പറയുന്നതല്ലാതെ ദേഹരക്ഷെക്കു ആവശ്യമുള്ളതു അവര്ക്കും കൊടുക്കാതിരുന്നാല് ഉപകാരം എന്തു?

16. మీలో ఎవడైనను శరీరమునకు కావలసినవాటిని ఇయ్యక సమాధానముగా వెళ్లుడి, చలి కాచుకొనుడి, తృప్తిపొందుడని చెప్పినయెడల ఏమి ప్రయోజనము?

17. അങ്ങനെ വിശ്വാസവും പ്രവൃത്തികളില്ലാത്തതായാല് സ്വതവെ നിര്ജ്ജീവമാകുന്നു.

17. ఆలాగే విశ్వాసము క్రియలులేనిదైతే అది ఒంటిగా ఉండి మృతమైనదగును.

18. എന്നാല് ഒരുത്തന് നിനക്കു വിശ്വാസം ഉണ്ടു; എനിക്കു പ്രവൃത്തികള് ഉണ്ടു എന്നു പറയുമായിരിക്കും. നിന്റെ വിശ്വാസം പ്രവൃത്തികള് കൂടാതെ കാണിച്ചുതരിക; ഞാനും എന്റെ വിശ്വാസം പ്രവൃത്തികളാല് കാണിച്ചു തരാം.

18. అయితే ఒకడు నీకు విశ్వాసమున్నది, నాకు క్రియలున్నవి; క్రియలు లేకుండ నీ విశ్వాసము నాకు కనుపరచుము, నేను నా క్రియలచేత నా విశ్వాసము నీకు కనుపరతునని చెప్పును.

19. ദൈവം ഏകന് എന്നു നീ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നുവോ; കൊള്ളാം; പിശാചുകളും അങ്ങനെ വിശ്വസിക്കയും വിറെക്കയും ചെയ്യുന്നു.

19. దేవుడొక్కడే అని నీవు నమ్ముచున్నావు. ఆలాగు నమ్ముట మంచిదే; దయ్యములును నమ్మి వణకుచున్నవి.

20. വ്യര്ത്ഥമനുഷ്യാ, പ്രവൃത്തിയില്ലാത്ത വിശ്വാസം നിഷ്ഫലമെന്നു ഗ്രഹിപ്പാന് നിനക്കു മനസ്സുണ്ടോ?

20. వ్యర్థుడా, క్రియలులేని విశ్వాసము నిష్ఫలమైనదని తెలిసి కొనగోరుచున్నావా?

21. നമ്മുടെ പിതാവായ അബ്രാഹാം തന്റെ മകനായ യിസ്ഹാക്കിനെ യാഗപീഠത്തിന്മേല് അര്പ്പിച്ചിട്ടു പ്രവൃത്തിയാല് അല്ലയോ നീതീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടതു?
ഉല്പത്തി 22:2, ഉല്പത്തി 22:9

21. మన పితరుడైన అబ్రాహాము తన కుమారుడైన ఇస్సాకును బలిపీఠముమీద అర్పించినప్పుడు అతడు క్రియలవలన నీతిమంతుడని తీర్పు పొందలేదా?

22. അവന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തിയോടുകൂടെ വിശ്വാസം വ്യാപരിച്ചു എന്നും പ്രവൃത്തിയാല് വിശ്വാസം പൂര്ണ്ണമായി എന്നും നീ കാണുന്നുവല്ലോ.

22. విశ్వాసము అతని క్రియలతోకూడి కార్యసిద్ధి కలుగజేసెననియు, క్రియలమూలముగా అతని విశ్వాసము పరిపూర్ణమైనదనియు గ్రహించుచున్నావుగదా?

23. അബ്രാഹാം ദൈവത്തെ വിശ്വസിക്കയും അതു അവന്നു നീതിയായി കണക്കിടുകയും ചെയ്തു എന്നുള്ള തിരുവെഴുത്തു നിവൃത്തിയായി അവന് ദൈവത്തിന്റെ സ്നേഹിതന് എന്നു പേര് പ്രാപിച്ചു.
ഉല്പത്തി 15:6, 2 ദിനവൃത്താന്തം 20:7, യെശയ്യാ 41:8

23. కాబట్టి అబ్రాహాము దేవుని నమ్మెను అది అతనికి నీతిగా ఎంచబడెను అను లేఖనము నెరవేర్చబడెను. మరియు దేవుని స్నేహితుడని అతనికి పేరుకలిగెను.

24. അങ്ങനെ മനുഷ്യന് വെറും വിശ്വാസത്താലല്ല പ്രവൃത്തികളാല് തന്നേ നീതീകരിക്കപ്പെടുന്നു എന്നു നിങ്ങള് കാണുന്നു.

24. మనుష్యుడు విశ్వాసమూలమున మాత్రముకాక క్రియల మూలమునను నీతిమంతుడని యెంచబడునని, మీరు దీనివలన గ్రహించితిరి.

25. അവ്വണ്ണം രാഹാബ് എന്ന വേശ്യയും ദൂതരെ കൈക്കൊള്കയും വേറൊരു വഴിയായി പറഞ്ഞയക്കയും ചെയ്തതില് പ്രവൃത്തികളാല് അല്ലയോ നീതീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടതു?
യോശുവ 2:4, യോശുവ 2:15, യോശുവ 6:17

25. అటువలెనే రాహాబను వేశ్యకూడ దూతలను చేర్చుకొని వేరొకమార్గమున వారిని వెలుపలికి పంపివేసినప్పుడు క్రియలమూలముగా నీతిమంతురాలని యెంచబడెను గదా?

26. ഇങ്ങനെ ആത്മാവില്ലത്ത ശരീരം നിര്ജ്ജീവമായിരിക്കുന്നതുപോലെ പ്രവൃത്തിയില്ലാത്ത വിശ്വാസവും നിര്ജ്ജീവമാകുന്നു.

26. ప్రాణములేని శరీరమేలాగు మృతమో ఆలాగే క్రియలు లేని విశ్వాసమును మృతము.
