¹My brethren, hold not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.

¹Murhe phral! Tume kai traiin ando pachamos, ande amaro luvudime Devles O Jesus Kristo, trobul te keren swakone manushesa iek fielo,

²For if there come into your synagogue a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, and there come in also a poor man in vile clothing;

²ke te dela iek manush barvalo ande tumari khangeri kai si les angrusti sumnakuni, ai kai si mishto vuriardo, ai te dela vi iek manush ande khangeri kai si chorho kai si les tsalia phurane;

³and ye have regard to him that weareth the fine clothing, and say, Sit thou here in a good place; and ye say to the poor man, Stand thou there, or sit under my footstool;

³Ai te respektina le manushes kai si mishto vuriardo, ai te mothona leske, "Besh kata po than o lasho", ai te mothona kodoleske kai si chorho, "Tu besh ande punrhende, vai besh tele pasha murhe punrhe."

⁴Do ye not make distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

⁴Tume ande tumende sikaven kon si tumenge mai drago, ai dosharen ande tumaro gindo.

⁵Hearken, my beloved brethren; did not God choose them that are poor as to the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to them that love him?

⁵Ashunen, murhe kuchi phral! O Del alosardia le chorhen ande kodia lumia saxke te aven barvale ando pachamos, ai te avel le o rhaio kai O Del shinadia kodolenge kai si lenge drago O Del.

⁶But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

⁶Numa tumenge nai drago o manush o chorho!

⁷Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?

⁷Numa nai le barvale kai nekezhil tume ai kai angerel tume kai zhandari? Ai won si kai mothon nasulimos pa shukar anav kai O Del dia tume.

⁸Howbeit if ye fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:

⁸E mishto keren, te kerena o zakono le rhaiosko sar mothol E Vorba le Devleski, te avel tuke drago cho vortako "Sar san tu tuke drago."

⁹but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

⁹Numa te avena tumenge drago uni manush mai but ke sar aver, antunchi bezex keren, ai o zakono dosharel tume, ke chi keren so mothol.

¹⁰For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one [point], he is become guilty of all.

¹⁰Ke kon godi kerel sa o zakono, numa te shubilape karing iek, antunchi doshalo lo karing sa o zakono.

¹¹For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

¹¹Ke kodo kai phendia, "Na phir pa kolavreski rhomni (Na ker kurvia)," phendia vi "Na mudar." Akana te na phiresa pala kolavreski rhomni (te na ker kurvia), numa te mudaresa, antunchi doshalo san ke phaglian o zakono.

¹²So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

¹²Den duma, ai keren sar manush kai trobun te aven dine pe kris katar o zakono kai skepil ame.

¹³For judgment [is] without mercy to him that hath showed no mercy: mercy glorieth against judgment.

¹³Ke O Del dela pe kris bi milako, kodoles kai nas leske mila andal kolaver; numa e mila niril pe kris.

¹⁴What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but have not works? can that faith save him?

¹⁴Murhe phral, so lel o manush kai mothol, "Si ma o pachamos ai te na sikavela ke kerel o lashimos? Sar sai kodo pachamos skepil les?"

¹⁵If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,

¹⁵Te si iek phral vai iek phei kai trobul le tsalia, ai nai le dosta xaben te xan,

¹⁶and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit?

¹⁶so mol te mothona lenge, "Ashun Devlesa ai te avel tumenge mishto, zhan ai tachon, ai pravaren tume mishto, ai te na dena le so trobul le te traiin?

¹⁷Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself.

¹⁷No sakadia si le pachamos, o pachamos korkorho bi le lashimasko, chi mol kanchi.

¹⁸Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith.

¹⁸Numa te mothola vari kon, "Tute si o pachamos, ai mande si o lashimos, me mothava leske, sikav mange sar sai avel tu o pachamos bi le lashimasko, ai porme me sikavava tuke murho pachamos le lashimasa kai kerav."

¹⁹Thou believest that God is one; thou doest well: the demons also believe, and shudder.

¹⁹Tu pachas tu ke si ferdi iek Del. Mishto! Numa vi le beng pachanpe, ai izdran daratar.

²⁰But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

²⁰Tu manusha kai chi haliares kanchi! Manges te dikhes ke o pachamos bi le lashimasko, chi mol kanchi?

²¹Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?

²¹Nas o Abraham amaro dat sas jindo vorta angla Del pala so kerdia, kana dia peske shaves o Isaac te merel?

²²Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect;

²²Dikhes ke lesko pachamos ai lesko lashimos kerenas buchi andek than; ai lesko pachamos sas vorta pala lashimos kai kerelas.

²³and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God.

²³Ai kadia kerdiol so mothol E Vorba le Devleski, "O Abraham pachaiape ando Del, ai O Del jinelas les sar vorta pala pachamos kai sas les." ai O Del motholas leske "Murho vortako."

²⁴Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

²⁴Tume dikhen, ke o manush si jindo vorta katar O Del pala lashimos kai kerel, ai na ferdi ke pachalpe.

²⁵And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

²⁵Sakadia sas la Rahabaki e kurva. Sas jindi vorta katar O Del pala lashimos kai kerelas, woi kai premisardiasas le Devleske manushen le Zhidovon, ai zhutisardiasas le te zhantar pa aver drom.

²⁶For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

²⁶Ke sar o stato kai nashti traiil bi le traiosko, sakadia o pachamos bi le lashimasko mulo lo.
