Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear with the limitations of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
balavadbhirasmābhi rdurbbalānāṁ daurbbalyaṁ soḍhavyaṁ na ca sveṣām iṣṭācāra ācaritavyaḥ|
2 Let each of us please the neighbor with a view to what is good for edifying.
asmākam ekaiko janaḥ svasamīpavāsino hitārthaṁ niṣṭhārthañca tasyaiveṣṭācāram ācaratu|
3 Because even the Christ did not please Himself; rather, as it is written: “The revilings of those reviling you fell on me.”
yataḥ khrīṣṭo'pi nijeṣṭācāraṁ nācaritavān, yathā likhitam āste, tvannindakagaṇasyaiva nindābhi rnindito'smyahaṁ|
4 Whatever things were written before were so written for our instruction, so that through the fortitude and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
aparañca vayaṁ yat sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayo rjanakena śāstreṇa pratyāśāṁ labhemahi tannimittaṁ pūrvvakāle likhitāni sarvvavacanānyasmākam upadeśārthameva lilikhire|
5 Now may the God of that fortitude and that encouragement grant you to be of the same mind among yourselves according to Christ Jesus,
sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayorākaro ya īśvaraḥ sa evaṁ karotu yat prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭa iva yuṣmākam ekajano'nyajanena sārddhaṁ manasa aikyam ācaret;
6 so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one heart and voice.
yūyañca sarvva ekacittā bhūtvā mukhaikenevāsmatprabhuyīśukhrīṣṭasya piturīśvarasya guṇān kīrttayeta|
7 Therefore accept one another, just as the Christ also accepted us, to the glory of God.
aparam īśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ khrīṣṭo yathā yuṣmān pratyagṛhlāt tathā yuṣmākamapyeko jano'nyajanaṁ pratigṛhlātu|
8 Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a minister to the circumcised on behalf of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers;
yathā likhitam āste, ato'haṁ sammukhe tiṣṭhan bhinnadeśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni pareśvara||
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and will sing psalms to your name.”
tasya dayālutvācca bhinnajātīyā yad īśvarasya guṇān kīrttayeyustadarthaṁ yīśuḥ khrīṣṭastvakchedaniyamasya nighno'bhavad ityahaṁ vadāmi| yathā likhitam āste, ato'haṁ sammukhe tiṣṭhan bhinnadeśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni pareśvara||
10 And again He says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
aparamapi likhitam āste, he anyajātayo yūyaṁ samaṁ nandata tajjanaiḥ|
11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and laud Him, all you peoples!”
punaśca likhitam āste, he sarvvadeśino yūyaṁ dhanyaṁ brūta pareśvaraṁ| he tadīyanarā yūyaṁ kurudhvaṁ tatpraśaṁsanaṁ||
12 And again, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, even He who rises up to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will place their hope on Him.”
apara yīśāyiyo'pi lilekha, yīśayasya tu yat mūlaṁ tat prakāśiṣyate tadā| sarvvajātīyanṛṇāñca śāsakaḥ samudeṣyati| tatrānyadeśilokaiśca pratyāśā prakariṣyate||
13 Now may the God of the hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in that hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
ataeva yūyaṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvād yat sampūrṇāṁ pratyāśāṁ lapsyadhve tadarthaṁ tatpratyāśājanaka īśvaraḥ pratyayena yuṣmān śāntyānandābhyāṁ sampūrṇān karotu|
14 Now I myself am really confident about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
he bhrātaro yūyaṁ sadbhāvayuktāḥ sarvvaprakāreṇa jñānena ca sampūrṇāḥ parasparopadeśe ca tatparā ityahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi,
15 Nevertheless I have written to you quite boldly on some points, brothers, as a reminder to you, because of the grace given to me by God,
tathāpyahaṁ yat pragalbhataro bhavan yuṣmān prabodhayāmi tasyaikaṁ kāraṇamidaṁ|
16 that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, serving the Gospel of God as a priest so that the Gentiles might become an acceptable offering, sanctified by Holy Spirit.
bhinnajātīyāḥ pavitreṇātmanā pāvitanaivedyarūpā bhūtvā yad grāhyā bhaveyustannimittamaham īśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhye yīśukhrīṣṭasya sevakatvaṁ dānaṁ īśvarāt labdhavānasmi|
17 So in Christ Jesus I do have a boast in things pertaining to God;
īśvaraṁ prati yīśukhrīṣṭena mama ślāghākaraṇasya kāraṇam āste|
18 because I do not presume to speak of anything except those things that Christ has accomplished through me to make the Gentiles obedient—by word and deed,
bhinnadeśina ājñāgrāhiṇaḥ karttuṁ khrīṣṭo vākyena kriyayā ca, āścaryyalakṣaṇaiścitrakriyābhiḥ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvena ca yāni karmmāṇi mayā sādhitavān,
19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of God's Spirit, so that I have fully proclaimed the Gospel of the Christ from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum.
kevalaṁ tānyeva vinānyasya kasyacit karmmaṇo varṇanāṁ karttuṁ pragalbho na bhavāmi| tasmāt ā yirūśālama illūrikaṁ yāvat sarvvatra khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ prācārayaṁ|
20 It has always been my aim to evangelize where Christ has not been named, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation;
anyena nicitāyāṁ bhittāvahaṁ yanna nicinomi tannimittaṁ yatra yatra sthāne khrīṣṭasya nāma kadāpi kenāpi na jñāpitaṁ tatra tatra susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum ahaṁ yate|
21 rather, as it is written: “Those to whom He was not announced will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
yādṛśaṁ likhitam āste, yai rvārttā tasya na prāptā darśanaṁ taistu lapsyate| yaiśca naiva śrutaṁ kiñcit boddhuṁ śakṣyanti te janāḥ||
22 That is why I have been hindered these many times from coming to you.
tasmād yuṣmatsamīpagamanād ahaṁ muhurmuhu rnivārito'bhavaṁ|
23 But now, no longer having a place in these parts, and having a longing these many years to come to you,
kintvidānīm atra pradeśeṣu mayā na gataṁ sthānaṁ kimapi nāvaśiṣyate yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gantuṁ bahuvatsarānārabhya māmakīnākāṅkṣā ca vidyata iti hetoḥ
24 whenever I travel to Spain I will come to you. Because I hope to see you while passing through, and to be sent on my way there by you, if I may first enjoy your company for a while.
spāniyādeśagamanakāle'haṁ yuṣmanmadhyena gacchan yuṣmān ālokiṣye, tataḥ paraṁ yuṣmatsambhāṣaṇena tṛptiṁ parilabhya taddeśagamanārthaṁ yuṣmābhi rvisarjayiṣye, īdṛśī madīyā pratyāśā vidyate|
25 Now, however, I am traveling to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
kintu sāmprataṁ pavitralokānāṁ sevanāya yirūśālamnagaraṁ vrajāmi|
26 Because Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.
yato yirūśālamasthapavitralokānāṁ madhye ye daridrā arthaviśrāṇanena tānupakarttuṁ mākidaniyādeśīyā ākhāyādeśīyāśca lokā aicchan|
27 Yes, they were pleased, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are also obligated to minister to them in physical things.
eṣā teṣāṁ sadicchā yataste teṣām ṛṇinaḥ santi yato heto rbhinnajātīyā yeṣāṁ paramārthasyāṁśino jātā aihikaviṣaye teṣāmupakārastaiḥ karttavyaḥ|
28 So when I have finished this and have sealed to them this ‘fruit’, I will go by way of you to Spain.
ato mayā tat karmma sādhayitvā tasmin phale tebhyaḥ samarpite yuṣmanmadhyena spāniyādeśo gamiṣyate|
29 And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of the Christ.
yuṣmatsamīpe mamāgamanasamaye khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasya pūrṇavareṇa sambalitaḥ san aham āgamiṣyāmi iti mayā jñāyate|
30 Now I implore you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in prayers to God on my behalf,
he bhrātṛgaṇa prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā pavitrasyātmānaḥ premnā ca vinaye'haṁ
31 that I may be delivered from those in Judea who do not believe, and that my service to Jerusalem may be well received by the saints;
yihūdādeśasthānām aviśvāsilokānāṁ karebhyo yadahaṁ rakṣāṁ labheya madīyaitena sevanakarmmaṇā ca yad yirūśālamasthāḥ pavitralokāstuṣyeyuḥ,
32 so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you.
tadarthaṁ yūyaṁ matkṛta īśvarāya prārthayamāṇā yatadhvaṁ tenāham īśvarecchayā sānandaṁ yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gatvā yuṣmābhiḥ sahitaḥ prāṇān āpyāyituṁ pārayiṣyāmi|
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
śāntidāyaka īśvaro yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ saṅgī bhūyāt| iti|
