¹My brethren, do not have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [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 unto your synagogue a man with a gold ring in splendid apparel, and a poor man also come in in vile apparel,

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 look upon him who wears the splendid apparel, and say, Do thou sit here well, and say to the poor, Do thou stand there, or sit here 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."

⁴have ye not made a difference among yourselves, and become judges having evil thoughts?

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

⁵Hear, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen the poor as to the world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he has 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 despised the poor [man]. Do not the rich oppress you, and [do not] *they* drag you before [the] tribunals?

⁶Numa tumenge nai drago o manush o chorho!

⁷And [do not] *they* blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?

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.

⁸If indeed ye keep [the] royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour 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 whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one [point], he has come under the guilt of [breaking] all.

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

¹¹For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become 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 act, as those that are to be judged by [the] law of liberty;

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

¹³for judgment [will be] without mercy to him that has shewn no mercy. Mercy glories over judgment.

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

¹⁴What [is] the profit, my brethren, if any one say he have faith, but have not works? can 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?"

¹⁵Now if a brother or a sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

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

¹⁶and one from amongst you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled; but give not to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the 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?

¹⁷So also faith, if it have not works, is dead by itself.

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

¹⁸But some one will say, *Thou* hast faith and *I* have works. Shew me thy faith without works, and *I* from my works will shew 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."

¹⁹*Thou* believest that God is one. Thou doest well. The demons even believe, and tremble.

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 without works is dead?

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 when he had offered 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 that by works faith was perfected.

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 says, Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness, and he was called 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 a man is justified on the principle of works, and not on the principle of faith only.

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

²⁵But was not in like manner also Rahab the harlot justified on the principle of works, when she had received the messengers and put [them] forth by 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 without a spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

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