Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
ahaM kAJcid kalpitAM kathAM na kathayAmi, khrISTasya sAkSAt satyameva bravImi pavitrasyAtmanaH sAkSAn madIyaM mana etat sAkSyaM dadAti|
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
mamAntaratizayaduHkhaM nirantaraM khedazca
3 For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren’s sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
tasmAd ahaM svajAtIyabhrAtRNAM nimittAt svayaM khrISTAcchApAkrAnto bhavitum aiccham|
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
yatasta isrAyelasya vaMzA api ca dattakaputratvaM tejo niyamo vyavasthAdAnaM mandire bhajanaM pratijJAH pitRpuruSagaNazcaiteSu sarvveSu teSAm adhikAro'sti|
5 whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
tat kevalaM nahi kintu sarvvAdhyakSaH sarvvadA saccidAnanda Izvaro yaH khrISTaH so'pi zArIrikasambandhena teSAM vaMzasambhavaH| (aiōn g165)
6 But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:
Izvarasya vAkyaM viphalaM jAtam iti nahi yatkAraNAd isrAyelo vaMze ye jAtAste sarvve vastuta isrAyelIyA na bhavanti|
7 neither, because they are Abraham’s seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
aparam ibrAhImo vaMze jAtA api sarvve tasyaiva santAnA na bhavanti kintu ishAko nAmnA tava vaMzo vikhyAto bhaviSyati|
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
arthAt zArIrikasaMsargAt jAtAH santAnA yAvantastAvanta evezvarasya santAnA na bhavanti kintu pratizravaNAd ye jAyante taevezvaravaMzo gaNyate|
9 For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
yatastatpratizrute rvAkyametat, etAdRze samaye 'haM punarAgamiSyAmi tatpUrvvaM sArAyAH putra eko janiSyate|
10 And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac—
aparamapi vadAmi svamano'bhilASata IzvareNa yannirUpitaM tat karmmato nahi kintvAhvayitu rjAtametad yathA siddhyati
11 for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,
tadarthaM ribkAnAmikayA yoSitA janaikasmAd arthAd asmAkam ishAkaH pUrvvapuruSAd garbhe dhRte tasyAH santAnayoH prasavAt pUrvvaM kiJca tayoH zubhAzubhakarmmaNaH karaNAt pUrvvaM
12 it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
tAM pratIdaM vAkyam uktaM, jyeSThaH kaniSThaM seviSyate,
13 Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
yathA likhitam Aste, tathApyeSAvi na prItvA yAkUbi prItavAn ahaM|
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
tarhi vayaM kiM brUmaH? IzvaraH kim anyAyakArI? tathA na bhavatu|
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
yataH sa svayaM mUsAm avadat; ahaM yasmin anugrahaM cikIrSAmi tamevAnugRhlAmi, yaJca dayitum icchAmi tameva daye|
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
ataevecchatA yatamAnena vA mAnavena tanna sAdhyate dayAkAriNezvareNaiva sAdhyate|
17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
phirauNi zAstre likhati, ahaM tvaddvArA matparAkramaM darzayituM sarvvapRthivyAM nijanAma prakAzayituJca tvAM sthApitavAn|
18 So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will he hardeneth.
ataH sa yam anugrahItum icchati tamevAnugRhlAti, yaJca nigrahItum icchati taM nigRhlAti|
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
yadi vadasi tarhi sa doSaM kuto gRhlAti? tadIyecchAyAH pratibandhakatvaM karttaM kasya sAmarthyaM vidyate?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
he Izvarasya pratipakSa martya tvaM kaH? etAdRzaM mAM kutaH sRSTavAn? iti kathAM sRSTavastu sraSTre kiM kathayiSyati?
21 Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
ekasmAn mRtpiNDAd utkRSTApakRSTau dvividhau kalazau karttuM kiM kulAlasya sAmarthyaM nAsti?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
IzvaraH kopaM prakAzayituM nijazaktiM jJApayituJcecchan yadi vinAzasya yogyAni krodhabhAjanAni prati bahukAlaM dIrghasahiSNutAm Azrayati;
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
aparaJca vibhavaprAptyarthaM pUrvvaM niyuktAnyanugrahapAtrANi prati nijavibhavasya bAhulyaM prakAzayituM kevalayihUdinAM nahi bhinnadezinAmapi madhyAd
24 [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
asmAniva tAnyAhvayati tatra tava kiM?
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
hozeyagranthe yathA likhitam Aste, yo loko mama nAsIt taM vadiSyAmi madIyakaM| yA jAti rme'priyA cAsIt tAM vadiSyAmyahaM priyAM|
26 And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
yUyaM madIyalokA na yatreti vAkyamaucyata| amarezasya santAnA iti khyAsyanti tatra te|
27 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
isrAyelIyalokeSu yizAyiyo'pi vAcametAM prAcArayat, isrAyelIyavaMzAnAM yA saMkhyA sA tu nizcitaM| samudrasikatAsaMkhyAsamAnA yadi jAyate| tathApi kevalaM lokairalpaistrANaM vrajiSyate|
28 for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
yato nyAyena svaM karmma parezaH sAdhayiSyati| deze saeva saMkSepAnnijaM karmma kariSyati|
29 And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
yizAyiyo'paramapi kathayAmAsa, sainyAdhyakSaparezena cet kiJcinnodaziSyata| tadA vayaM sidomevAbhaviSyAma vinizcitaM| yadvA vayam amorAyA agamiSyAma tulyatAM|
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
tarhi vayaM kiM vakSyAmaH? itaradezIyA lokA api puNyArtham ayatamAnA vizvAsena puNyam alabhanta;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
kintvisrAyellokA vyavasthApAlanena puNyArthaM yatamAnAstan nAlabhanta|
32 Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
tasya kiM kAraNaM? te vizvAsena nahi kintu vyavasthAyAH kriyayA ceSTitvA tasmin skhalanajanake pASANe pAdaskhalanaM prAptAH|
33 even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
likhitaM yAdRzam Aste, pazya pAdaskhalArthaM hi sIyoni prastarantathA| bAdhAkAraJca pASANaM paristhApitavAnaham| vizvasiSyati yastatra sa jano na trapiSyate|
