Romans 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ. I was called to be an apostle by God. God appointed me to announce the good news
īśvarō nijaputramadhi yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhi rdharmmagranthē pratiśrutavān taṁ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ pr̥thakkr̥ta āhūtaḥ prēritaśca prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sēvakō yaḥ paulaḥ
2 that he had previously promised through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.
sa rōmānagarasthān īśvarapriyān āhūtāṁśca pavitralōkān prati patraṁ likhati|
3 The good news is about his Son, whose human forefather was David,
asmākaṁ sa prabhu ryīśuḥ khrīṣṭaḥ śārīrikasambandhēna dāyūdō vaṁśōdbhavaḥ
4 but who was revealed as God's Son by his resurrection from the dead through the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
pavitrasyātmanaḥ sambandhēna cēśvarasya prabhāvavān putra iti śmaśānāt tasyōtthānēna pratipannaṁ|
5 It was through him that I received the privilege of becoming an apostle to call all nations to obedient trust in him.
aparaṁ yēṣāṁ madhyē yīśunā khrīṣṭēna yūyamapyāhūtāstē 'nyadēśīyalōkāstasya nāmni viśvasya nidēśagrāhiṇō yathā bhavanti
6 You are also included among those who were called to belong to Jesus Christ.
tadabhiprāyēṇa vayaṁ tasmād anugrahaṁ prēritatvapadañca prāptāḥ|
7 I'm writing to all of you in Rome who are loved by God, and called to be his special people. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
tātēnāsmākam īśvarēṇa prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca pradīyētāṁ|
8 Let me begin by saying that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the way in which you trust in God is spoken about all over the world.
prathamataḥ sarvvasmin jagati yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya prakāśitatvād ahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ nimittaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāma gr̥hlan īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ karōmi|
9 I'm always praying for you, as God can confirm—the God I serve with the whole of my being as I share the good news about his Son.
aparam īśvarasya prasādād bahukālāt paraṁ sāmprataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ yātuṁ kathamapi yat suyōgaṁ prāpnōmi, ētadarthaṁ nirantaraṁ nāmānyuccārayan nijāsu sarvvaprārthanāsu sarvvadā nivēdayāmi,
10 In my prayers I'm always asking that I might eventually come and see you, if that's what God wants.
ētasmin yamahaṁ tatputrīyasusaṁvādapracāraṇēna manasā paricarāmi sa īśvarō mama sākṣī vidyatē|
11 I really want to visit you and share with you a spiritual blessing to strengthen you.
yatō yuṣmākaṁ mama ca viśvāsēna vayam ubhayē yathā śāntiyuktā bhavāma iti kāraṇād
12 In this way we can be encouraged together by each others' trust in God, both your trust and mine.
yuṣmākaṁ sthairyyakaraṇārthaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kiñcitparamārthadānadānāya yuṣmān sākṣāt karttuṁ madīyā vāñchā|
13 I want you to know, my brothers and sisters, I often planned to visit you, but I was kept from coming up till now. I want to see some good spiritual results among you just as I've seen among other people.
hē bhrātr̥gaṇa bhinnadēśīyalōkānāṁ madhyē yadvat tadvad yuṣmākaṁ madhyēpi yathā phalaṁ bhuñjē tadabhiprāyēṇa muhurmuhu ryuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ gantum udyatō'haṁ kintu yāvad adya tasmin gamanē mama vighnō jāta iti yūyaṁ yad ajñātāstiṣṭhatha tadaham ucitaṁ na budhyē|
14 For I have an obligation to work for both the civilized and the uncivilized, both the educated and the uneducated.
ahaṁ sabhyāsabhyānāṁ vidvadavidvatāñca sarvvēṣām r̥ṇī vidyē|
15 That's why I'm really keen to come to Rome and share the good news with you.
ataēva rōmānivāsināṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpē'pi yathāśakti susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum aham udyatōsmi|
16 I'm certainly not ashamed about the good news, for it's God's power to save everyone who trusts in him—to the Jewish people first, and then to everyone else as well.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādō mama lajjāspadaṁ nahi sa īśvarasya śaktisvarūpaḥ san ā yihūdīyēbhyō 'nyajātīyān yāvat sarvvajātīyānāṁ madhyē yaḥ kaścid tatra viśvasiti tasyaiva trāṇaṁ janayati|
17 For in the good news God is revealed as good and right, trustworthy from start to finish. As Scripture says, “Those who are right with God live by trusting him.”
yataḥ pratyayasya samaparimāṇam īśvaradattaṁ puṇyaṁ tatsusaṁvādē prakāśatē| tadadhi dharmmapustakēpi likhitamidaṁ "puṇyavān janō viśvāsēna jīviṣyati"|
18 God's hostility is revealed from heaven against those who are godless and who are not morally right, those who suppress the truth through the evil that they do.
ataēva yē mānavāḥ pāpakarmmaṇā satyatāṁ rundhanti tēṣāṁ sarvvasya durācaraṇasyādharmmasya ca viruddhaṁ svargād īśvarasya kōpaḥ prakāśatē|
19 What can be known about God is obvious, because he has made it very clear to them.
yata īśvaramadhi yadyad jñēyaṁ tad īśvaraḥ svayaṁ tān prati prakāśitavān tasmāt tēṣām agōcaraṁ nahi|
20 Ever since the creation of the world, the invisible aspects of God—his eternal power and divinity—are clearly visible in what he has made. Such people have no excuse, (aïdios g126)
phalatastasyānantaśaktīśvaratvādīnyadr̥śyānyapi sr̥ṣṭikālam ārabhya karmmasu prakāśamānāni dr̥śyantē tasmāt tēṣāṁ dōṣaprakṣālanasya panthā nāsti| (aïdios g126)
21 because even though they knew God, they did not praise him or thank him, but instead their thinking about God turned into complete foolishness, and darkness filled their empty minds.
aparam īśvaraṁ jñātvāpi tē tam īśvarajñānēna nādriyanta kr̥tajñā vā na jātāḥ; tasmāt tēṣāṁ sarvvē tarkā viphalībhūtāḥ, aparañca tēṣāṁ vivēkaśūnyāni manāṁsi timirē magnāni|
22 Even though they claimed to be wise, they became foolish.
tē svān jñāninō jñātvā jñānahīnā abhavan
23 They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for idols, images of mortal human beings, birds, animals, and reptiles.
anaśvarasyēśvarasya gauravaṁ vihāya naśvaramanuṣyapaśupakṣyurōgāmiprabhr̥tērākr̥tiviśiṣṭapratimāstairāśritāḥ|
24 So God abandoned them to the evil desires of their depraved minds, and they did shameful, degrading things to each other.
itthaṁ ta īśvarasya satyatāṁ vihāya mr̥ṣāmatam āśritavantaḥ saccidānandaṁ sr̥ṣṭikarttāraṁ tyaktvā sr̥ṣṭavastunaḥ pūjāṁ sēvāñca kr̥tavantaḥ; (aiōn g165)
25 They exchanged God's truth for a lie, worshiping and serving creatures instead of the Creator, who deserves praise forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
iti hētōrīśvarastān kukriyāyāṁ samarpya nijanijakucintābhilāṣābhyāṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ parasparam apamānitaṁ karttum adadāt|
26 That's why God abandoned them to their evil desires. Their women exchanged natural sex for that which is unnatural,
īśvarēṇa tēṣu kvabhilāṣē samarpitēṣu tēṣāṁ yōṣitaḥ svābhāvikācaraṇam apahāya viparītakr̥tyē prāvarttanta;
27 and in the same way the men gave up sex with women and burned with lust for each other. Men did indecent things to each other, and as a result they suffered the inevitable consequences of their perversions.
tathā puruṣā api svābhāvikayōṣitsaṅgamaṁ vihāya parasparaṁ kāmakr̥śānunā dagdhāḥ santaḥ pumāṁsaḥ puṁbhiḥ sākaṁ kukr̥tyē samāsajya nijanijabhrāntēḥ samucitaṁ phalam alabhanta|
28 Since they didn't consider it worthwhile to get to know God, he abandoned them to their worthless, distrustful way of thinking, doing things that should never be done.
tē svēṣāṁ manaḥsvīśvarāya sthānaṁ dātum anicchukāstatō hētōrīśvarastān prati duṣṭamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvañca dattavān|
29 They filled themselves with all that's wrong: evil, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malice, and gossip.
ataēva tē sarvvē 'nyāyō vyabhicārō duṣṭatvaṁ lōbhō jighāṁsā īrṣyā vadhō vivādaścāturī kumatirityādibhi rduṣkarmmabhiḥ paripūrṇāḥ santaḥ
30 They're back-stabbers and God-haters. They're arrogant, proud, and boastful. They devise new ways of sinning. They rebel against their parents.
karṇējapā apavādina īśvaradvēṣakā hiṁsakā ahaṅkāriṇa ātmaślāghinaḥ kukarmmōtpādakāḥ pitrōrājñālaṅghakā
31 They don't want to understand, they don't keep their promises, they don't show any kindness or compassion.
avicārakā niyamalaṅghinaḥ snēharahitā atidvēṣiṇō nirdayāśca jātāḥ|
32 Even though they realize exactly what God requires, they do things that deserve death. Not only do they do such things themselves, they also support others in doing them.
yē janā ētādr̥śaṁ karmma kurvvanti taēva mr̥tiyōgyā īśvarasya vicāramīdr̥śaṁ jñātvāpi ta ētādr̥śaṁ karmma svayaṁ kurvvanti kēvalamiti nahi kintu tādr̥śakarmmakāriṣu lōkēṣvapi prīyantē|
