Romans 3
1 What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision?
aparañca yihūdinaḥ kiṁ śreṣṭhatvaṁ? tathā tvakchedasya vā kiṁ phalaṁ?
2 Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God.
sarvvathā bahūni phalāni santi, viśeṣata īśvarasya śāstraṁ tebhyo'dīyata|
3 For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect?
kaiścid aviśvasane kṛte teṣām aviśvasanāt kim īśvarasya viśvāsyatāyā hānirutpatsyate?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged.
kenāpi prakāreṇa nahi| yadyapi sarvve manuṣyā mithyāvādinastathāpīśvaraḥ satyavādī| śāstre yathā likhitamāste, atastvantu svavākyena nirddoṣo hi bhaviṣyasi| vicāre caiva niṣpāpo bhaviṣyasi na saṁśayaḥ|
5 Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.)
asmākam anyāyena yadīśvarasya nyāyaḥ prakāśate tarhi kiṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ? ahaṁ mānuṣāṇāṁ kathāmiva kathāṁ kathayāmi, īśvaraḥ samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ dattvā kim anyāyī bhaviṣyati?
6 God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world?
itthaṁ na bhavatu, tathā satīśvaraḥ kathaṁ jagato vicārayitā bhaviṣyati?
7 For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner?
mama mithyāvākyavadanād yadīśvarasya satyatvena tasya mahimā varddhate tarhi kasmādahaṁ vicāre'parādhitvena gaṇyo bhavāmi?
8 And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust.
maṅgalārthaṁ pāpamapi karaṇīyamiti vākyaṁ tvayā kuto nocyate? kintu yairucyate te nitāntaṁ daṇḍasya pātrāṇi bhavanti; tathāpi tadvākyam asmābhirapyucyata ityasmākaṁ glāniṁ kurvvantaḥ kiyanto lokā vadanti|
9 What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne,
anyalokebhyo vayaṁ kiṁ śreṣṭhāḥ? kadācana nahi yato yihūdino 'nyadeśinaśca sarvvaeva pāpasyāyattā ityasya pramāṇaṁ vayaṁ pūrvvam adadāma|
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one.
lipi ryathāste, naikopi dhārmmiko janaḥ|
11 There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God.
tathā jñānīśvarajñānī mānavaḥ kopi nāsti hi|
12 They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one.
vimārgagāminaḥ sarvve sarvve duṣkarmmakāriṇaḥ| eko janopi no teṣāṁ sādhukarmma karoti ca|
13 Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes.
tathā teṣāntu vai kaṇṭhā anāvṛtaśmaśānavat| stutivādaṁ prakurvvanti jihvābhiste tu kevalaṁ| teṣāmoṣṭhasya nimne tu viṣaṁ tiṣṭhati sarppavat|
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse.
mukhaṁ teṣāṁ hi śāpena kapaṭena ca pūryyate|
15 Their feete are swift to shead blood.
raktapātāya teṣāṁ tu padāni kṣipragāni ca|
16 Destruction and calamity are in their waies,
pathi teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nāśaḥ kleśaśca kevalaḥ|
17 And ye way of peace they haue not knowen.
te janā nahi jānanti panthānaṁ sukhadāyinaṁ|
18 The feare of God is not before their eies.
parameśād bhayaṁ yattat taccakṣuṣoragocaraṁ|
19 Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God.
vyavasthāyāṁ yadyallikhati tad vyavasthādhīnān lokān uddiśya likhatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| tato manuṣyamātro niruttaraḥ san īśvarasya sākṣād aparādhī bhavati|
20 Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne.
ataeva vyavasthānurūpaiḥ karmmabhiḥ kaścidapi prāṇīśvarasya sākṣāt sapuṇyīkṛto bhavituṁ na śakṣyati yato vyavasthayā pāpajñānamātraṁ jāyate|
21 But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets,
kintu vyavasthāyāḥ pṛthag īśvareṇa deyaṁ yat puṇyaṁ tad vyavasthāyā bhaviṣyadvādigaṇasya ca vacanaiḥ pramāṇīkṛtaṁ sad idānīṁ prakāśate|
22 To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.
yīśukhrīṣṭe viśvāsakaraṇād īśvareṇa dattaṁ tat puṇyaṁ sakaleṣu prakāśitaṁ sat sarvvān viśvāsinaḥ prati varttate|
23 For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God,
teṣāṁ kopi prabhedo nāsti, yataḥ sarvvaeva pāpina īśvarīyatejohīnāśca jātāḥ|
24 And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus,
ta īśvarasyānugrahād mūlyaṁ vinā khrīṣṭakṛtena paritrāṇena sapuṇyīkṛtā bhavanti|
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed,
yasmāt svaśoṇitena viśvāsāt pāpanāśako balī bhavituṁ sa eva pūrvvam īśvareṇa niścitaḥ, ittham īśvarīyasahiṣṇutvāt purākṛtapāpānāṁ mārjjanakaraṇe svīyayāthārthyaṁ tena prakāśyate,
26 Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus.
varttamānakālīyamapi svayāthārthyaṁ tena prakāśyate, aparaṁ yīśau viśvāsinaṁ sapuṇyīkurvvannapi sa yāthārthikastiṣṭhati|
27 Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith.
tarhi kutrātmaślāghā? sā dūrīkṛtā; kayā vyavasthayā? kiṁ kriyārūpavyavasthayā? itthaṁ nahi kintu tat kevalaviśvāsarūpayā vyavasthayaiva bhavati|
28 Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe.
ataeva vyavasthānurūpāḥ kriyā vinā kevalena viśvāsena mānavaḥ sapuṇyīkṛto bhavituṁ śaknotītyasya rāddhāntaṁ darśayāmaḥ|
29 God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also.
sa kiṁ kevalayihūdinām īśvaro bhavati? bhinnadeśinām īśvaro na bhavati? bhinnadeśināmapi bhavati;
30 For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith.
yasmād eka īśvaro viśvāsāt tvakchedino viśvāsenātvakchedinaśca sapuṇyīkariṣyati|
31 Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe.
tarhi viśvāsena vayaṁ kiṁ vyavasthāṁ lumpāma? itthaṁ na bhavatu vayaṁ vyavasthāṁ saṁsthāpayāma eva|
