< Romans 2 >
1 Now then, you there, whoever you are who judges someone else for things you practice yourself—you condemn yourself and are inexcusable.
he paradūṣaka manuṣya yaḥ kaścana tvaṁ bhavasi tavottaradānāya panthā nāsti yato yasmāt karmmaṇaḥ parastvayā dūṣyate tasmāt tvamapi dūṣyase, yatastaṁ dūṣayannapi tvaṁ tadvad ācarasi|
2 Further, we know that God's judgment against those who practice such things is according to truth.
kintvetādṛgācāribhyo yaṁ daṇḍam īśvaro niścinoti sa yathārtha iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
3 So then, you there, you who judge those who practice such things while doing the same, do you really imagine that you will escape God's judgment?
ataeva he mānuṣa tvaṁ yādṛgācāriṇo dūṣayasi svayaṁ yadi tādṛgācarasi tarhi tvam īśvaradaṇḍāt palāyituṁ śakṣyasīti kiṁ budhyase?
4 Or do you scorn the riches of His kindness, tolerance and longsuffering, not recognizing that the goodness of God is leading you toward repentance?
aparaṁ tava manasaḥ parivarttanaṁ karttum iśvarasyānugraho bhavati tanna buddhvā tvaṁ kiṁ tadīyānugrahakṣamācirasahiṣṇutvanidhiṁ tucchīkaroṣi?
5 Rather, due to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are treasuring up wrath for yourself in the day of God's wrath and revelation and righteous judgment,
tathā svāntaḥkaraṇasya kaṭhoratvāt khedarāhityācceśvarasya nyāyyavicāraprakāśanasya krodhasya ca dinaṁ yāvat kiṁ svārthaṁ kopaṁ sañcinoṣi?
6 who will repay each one according to his works:
kintu sa ekaikamanujāya tatkarmmānusāreṇa pratiphalaṁ dāsyati;
7 to those who seek for glory, honor and incorruption, by persevering in doing good—eternal life; (aiōnios )
vastutastu ye janā dhairyyaṁ dhṛtvā satkarmma kurvvanto mahimā satkāro'maratvañcaitāni mṛgayante tebhyo'nantāyu rdāsyati| (aiōnios )
8 but to those who, due to self-seeking, are actually disobeying the truth (while obeying the unrighteousness)—fury and wrath,
aparaṁ ye janāḥ satyadharmmam agṛhītvā viparītadharmmam gṛhlanti tādṛśā virodhijanāḥ kopaṁ krodhañca bhokṣyante|
9 tribulation and anguish, upon every human soul who works at the evil, whether Jew (first) or Greek;
ā yihūdino'nyadeśinaḥ paryyantaṁ yāvantaḥ kukarmmakāriṇaḥ prāṇinaḥ santi te sarvve duḥkhaṁ yātanāñca gamiṣyanti;
10 but glory, honor and peace to everyone who works the good, whether Jew (first) or Greek.
kintu ā yihūdino bhinnadeśiparyyantā yāvantaḥ satkarmmakāriṇo lokāḥ santi tān prati mahimā satkāraḥ śāntiśca bhaviṣyanti|
11 Now there is no favoritism with God.
īśvarasya vicāre pakṣapāto nāsti|
12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law; while as many as have sinned with law will be judged by law.
alabdhavyavasthāśāstrai ryaiḥ pāpāni kṛtāni vyavasthāśāstrālabdhatvānurūpasteṣāṁ vināśo bhaviṣyati; kintu labdhavyavasthāśāstrā ye pāpānyakurvvan vyavasthānusārādeva teṣāṁ vicāro bhaviṣyati|
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
vyavasthāśrotāra īśvarasya samīpe niṣpāpā bhaviṣyantīti nahi kintu vyavasthācāriṇa eva sapuṇyā bhaviṣyanti|
14 (indeed, whenever the ethnic nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these, although not having law, are a law to themselves;
yato 'labdhavyavasthāśāstrā bhinnadeśīyalokā yadi svabhāvato vyavasthānurūpān ācārān kurvvanti tarhyalabdhaśāstrāḥ santo'pi te sveṣāṁ vyavasthāśāstramiva svayameva bhavanti|
15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their reasonings among themselves accusing or even excusing)
teṣāṁ manasi sākṣisvarūpe sati teṣāṁ vitarkeṣu ca kadā tān doṣiṇaḥ kadā vā nirdoṣān kṛtavatsu te svāntarlikhitasya vyavasthāśāstrasya pramāṇaṁ svayameva dadati|
16 in the day when God, according to my Gospel, will judge people's secrets by Jesus Christ.
yasmin dine mayā prakāśitasya susaṁvādasyānusārād īśvaro yīśukhrīṣṭena mānuṣāṇām antaḥkaraṇānāṁ gūḍhābhiprāyān dhṛtvā vicārayiṣyati tasmin vicāradine tat prakāśiṣyate|
17 Look, you declare yourself a Jew, and rest on the Law, and boast in God,
paśya tvaṁ svayaṁ yihūdīti vikhyāto vyavasthopari viśvāsaṁ karoṣi,
18 and know the Will, and approve the superior things, being instructed out of the Law.
īśvaramuddiśya svaṁ ślāghase, tathā vyavasthayā śikṣito bhūtvā tasyābhimataṁ jānāsi, sarvvāsāṁ kathānāṁ sāraṁ viviṁkṣe,
19 Further, you are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those in darkness,
aparaṁ jñānasya satyatāyāścākarasvarūpaṁ śāstraṁ mama samīpe vidyata ato 'ndhalokānāṁ mārgadarśayitā
20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.
timirasthitalokānāṁ madhye dīptisvarūpo'jñānalokebhyo jñānadātā śiśūnāṁ śikṣayitāhameveti manyase|
21 You then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?
parān śikṣayan svayaṁ svaṁ kiṁ na śikṣayasi? vastutaścauryyaniṣedhavyavasthāṁ pracārayan tvaṁ kiṁ svayameva corayasi?
22 You who say not to commit adultery, do you adulterate? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
tathā paradāragamanaṁ pratiṣedhan svayaṁ kiṁ paradārān gacchasi? tathā tvaṁ svayaṁ pratimādveṣī san kiṁ mandirasya dravyāṇi harasi?
23 You who boast in the Law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the Law?
yastvaṁ vyavasthāṁ ślāghase sa tvaṁ kiṁ vyavasthām avamatya neśvaraṁ sammanyase?
24 For, just as it is written: “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”
śāstre yathā likhati "bhinnadeśināṁ samīpe yuṣmākaṁ doṣād īśvarasya nāmno nindā bhavati|"
25 Now circumcision does have value if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
yadi vyavasthāṁ pālayasi tarhi tava tvakchedakriyā saphalā bhavati; yati vyavasthāṁ laṅghase tarhi tava tvakchedo'tvakchedo bhaviṣyati|
26 So if the uncircumcised keeps the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
yato vyavasthāśāstrādiṣṭadharmmakarmmācārī pumān atvakchedī sannapi kiṁ tvakchedināṁ madhye na gaṇayiṣyate?
27 And will not the physically uncircumcised who fulfills the law judge you, complete with written code and circumcision, who are a transgressor of the Law?
kintu labdhaśāstraśchinnatvak ca tvaṁ yadi vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karoṣi tarhi vyavasthāpālakāḥ svābhāvikācchinnatvaco lokāstvāṁ kiṁ na dūṣayiṣyanti?
28 Because a person is not a [true] Jew who is only one outwardly, nor is [true] circumcision something outward in the flesh;
tasmād yo bāhye yihūdī sa yihūdī nahi tathāṅgasya yastvakchedaḥ sa tvakchedo nahi;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—in spirit, not letter—whose praise is not from men but from God.
kintu yo jana āntariko yihūdī sa eva yihūdī aparañca kevalalikhitayā vyavasthayā na kintu mānasiko yastvakchedo yasya ca praśaṁsā manuṣyebhyo na bhūtvā īśvarād bhavati sa eva tvakchedaḥ|
