Romans 4
1 What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm kāyikakriyayā kiṁ labdhavān ētadadhi kiṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ?
2 For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
sa yadi nijakriyābhyaḥ sapuṇyō bhavēt tarhi tasyātmaślāghāṁ karttuṁ panthā bhavēditi satyaṁ, kintvīśvarasya samīpē nahi|
3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
śāstrē kiṁ likhati? ibrāhīm īśvarē viśvasanāt sa viśvāsastasmai puṇyārthaṁ gaṇitō babhūva|
4 Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
karmmakāriṇō yad vētanaṁ tad anugrahasya phalaṁ nahi kintu tēnōpārjitaṁ mantavyam|
5 But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
kintu yaḥ pāpinaṁ sapuṇyīkarōti tasmin viśvāsinaḥ karmmahīnasya janasya yō viśvāsaḥ sa puṇyārthaṁ gaṇyō bhavati|
6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
aparaṁ yaṁ kriyāhīnam īśvaraḥ sapuṇyīkarōti tasya dhanyavādaṁ dāyūd varṇayāmāsa, yathā,
7 Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
sa dhanyō'ghāni mr̥ṣṭāni yasyāgāṁsyāvr̥tāni ca|
8 Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
sa ca dhanyaḥ parēśēna pāpaṁ yasya na gaṇyatē|
9 Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.
ēṣa dhanyavādastvakchēdinam atvakchēdinaṁ vā kaṁ prati bhavati? ibrāhīmō viśvāsaḥ puṇyārthaṁ gaṇita iti vayaṁ vadāmaḥ|
10 Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
sa viśvāsastasya tvakchēditvāvasthāyāṁ kim atvakchēditvāvasthāyāṁ kasmin samayē puṇyamiva gaṇitaḥ? tvakchēditvāvasthāyāṁ nahi kintvatvakchēditvāvasthāyāṁ|
11 After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also,
aparañca sa yat sarvvēṣām atvakchēdināṁ viśvāsinām ādipuruṣō bhavēt, tē ca puṇyavattvēna gaṇyēran;
12 And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised.
yē ca lōkāḥ kēvalaṁ chinnatvacō na santō 'smatpūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm achinnatvak san yēna viśvāsamārgēṇa gatavān tēnaiva tasya pādacihnēna gacchanti tēṣāṁ tvakchēdināmapyādipuruṣō bhavēt tadartham atvakchēdinō mānavasya viśvāsāt puṇyam utpadyata iti pramāṇasvarūpaṁ tvakchēdacihnaṁ sa prāpnōt|
13 For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.
ibrāhīm jagatō'dhikārī bhaviṣyati yaiṣā pratijñā taṁ tasya vaṁśañca prati pūrvvam akriyata sā vyavasthāmūlikā nahi kintu viśvāsajanyapuṇyamūlikā|
14 For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
yatō vyavasthāvalambinō yadyadhikāriṇō bhavanti tarhi viśvāsō viphalō jāyatē sā pratijñāpi luptaiva|
15 For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
adhikantu vyavasthā kōpaṁ janayati yatō 'vidyamānāyāṁ vyavasthāyām ājñālaṅghanaṁ na sambhavati|
16 Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
ataēva sā pratijñā yad anugrahasya phalaṁ bhavēt tadarthaṁ viśvāsamūlikā yatastathātvē tadvaṁśasamudāyaṁ prati arthatō yē vyavasthayā tadvaṁśasambhavāḥ kēvalaṁ tān prati nahi kintu ya ibrāhīmīyaviśvāsēna tatsambhavāstānapi prati sā pratijñā sthāsnurbhavati|
17 (As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.
yō nirjīvān sajīvān avidyamānāni vastūni ca vidyamānāni karōti ibrāhīmō viśvāsabhūmēstasyēśvarasya sākṣāt sō'smākaṁ sarvvēṣām ādipuruṣa āstē, yathā likhitaṁ vidyatē, ahaṁ tvāṁ bahujātīnām ādipuruṣaṁ kr̥tvā niyuktavān|
18 Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be.
tvadīyastādr̥śō vaṁśō janiṣyatē yadidaṁ vākyaṁ pratiśrutaṁ tadanusārād ibrāhīm bahudēśīyalōkānām ādipuruṣō yad bhavati tadarthaṁ sō'napēkṣitavyamapyapēkṣamāṇō viśvāsaṁ kr̥tavān|
19 And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
aparañca kṣīṇaviśvāsō na bhūtvā śatavatsaravayaskatvāt svaśarīrasya jarāṁ sārānāmnaḥ svabhāryyāyā rajōnivr̥ttiñca tr̥ṇāya na mēnē|
20 Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
aparam aviśvāsād īśvarasya pratijñāvacanē kamapi saṁśayaṁ na cakāra;
21 Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
kintvīśvarēṇa yat pratiśrutaṁ tat sādhayituṁ śakyata iti niścitaṁ vijñāya dr̥ḍhaviśvāsaḥ san īśvarasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayāñcakāra|
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
iti hētōstasya sa viśvāsastadīyapuṇyamiva gaṇayāñcakrē|
23 Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
puṇyamivāgaṇyata tat kēvalasya tasya nimittaṁ likhitaṁ nahi, asmākaṁ nimittamapi,
24 But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
yatō'smākaṁ pāpanāśārthaṁ samarpitō'smākaṁ puṇyaprāptyarthañcōtthāpitō'bhavat yō'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśustasyōtthāpayitarīśvarē
25 Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
yadi vayaṁ viśvasāmastarhyasmākamapi saēva viśvāsaḥ puṇyamiva gaṇayiṣyatē|
