Romans 1

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God,

īśvaro nijaputramadhi yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhi rdharmmagranthe pratiśrutavān taṁ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ pṛthakkṛta āhūtaḥ preritaśca prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sevako yaḥ paulaḥ

2 which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings,

sa romānagarasthān īśvarapriyān āhūtāṁśca pavitralokān prati patraṁ likhati|

3 concerning His Son—who has come of the seed of David according to the flesh,

asmākaṁ sa prabhu ryīśuḥ khrīṣṭaḥ śārīrikasambandhena dāyūdo vaṁśodbhavaḥ

4 who is marked out [as the] Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection from the dead—Jesus Christ our Lord;

pavitrasyātmanaḥ sambandhena ceśvarasya prabhāvavān putra iti śmaśānāt tasyotthānena pratipannaṁ|

5 through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of His Name;

aparaṁ yeṣāṁ madhye yīśunā khrīṣṭena yūyamapyāhūtāste 'nyadeśīyalokāstasya nāmni viśvasya nideśagrāhiṇo yathā bhavanti

6 among whom are also you, the called of Jesus Christ;

tadabhiprāyeṇa vayaṁ tasmād anugrahaṁ preritatvapadañca prāptāḥ|

7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy ones: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

tātenāsmākam īśvareṇa prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭena ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca pradīyetāṁ|

8 First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

prathamataḥ sarvvasmin jagati yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya prakāśitatvād ahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ nimittaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāma gṛhlan īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ karomi|

9 for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,

aparam īśvarasya prasādād bahukālāt paraṁ sāmprataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ yātuṁ kathamapi yat suyogaṁ prāpnomi, etadarthaṁ nirantaraṁ nāmānyuccārayan nijāsu sarvvaprārthanāsu sarvvadā nivedayāmi,

10 always in my prayers imploring, if by any means now at length I will have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come to you,

etasmin yamahaṁ tatputrīyasusaṁvādapracāraṇena manasā paricarāmi sa īśvaro mama sākṣī vidyate|

11 for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;

yato yuṣmākaṁ mama ca viśvāsena vayam ubhaye yathā śāntiyuktā bhavāma iti kāraṇād

12 and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through faith in one another, both yours and mine.

yuṣmākaṁ sthairyyakaraṇārthaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kiñcitparamārthadānadānāya yuṣmān sākṣāt karttuṁ madīyā vāñchā|

13 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you—and was hindered until the present time—that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.

he bhrātṛgaṇa bhinnadeśīyalokānāṁ madhye yadvat tadvad yuṣmākaṁ madhyepi yathā phalaṁ bhuñje tadabhiprāyeṇa muhurmuhu ryuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ gantum udyato'haṁ kintu yāvad adya tasmin gamane mama vighno jāta iti yūyaṁ yad ajñātāstiṣṭhatha tadaham ucitaṁ na budhye|

14 Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,

ahaṁ sabhyāsabhyānāṁ vidvadavidvatāñca sarvveṣām ṛṇī vidye|

15 so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,

ataeva romānivāsināṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpe'pi yathāśakti susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum aham udyatosmi|

16 for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

yataḥ khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādo mama lajjāspadaṁ nahi sa īśvarasya śaktisvarūpaḥ san ā yihūdīyebhyo 'nyajātīyān yāvat sarvvajātīyānāṁ madhye yaḥ kaścid tatra viśvasiti tasyaiva trāṇaṁ janayati|

17 For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it has been written: “And the righteous one will live by faith,”

yataḥ pratyayasya samaparimāṇam īśvaradattaṁ puṇyaṁ tatsusaṁvāde prakāśate| tadadhi dharmmapustakepi likhitamidaṁ "puṇyavān jano viśvāsena jīviṣyati"|

18 for the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven on all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in unrighteousness.

ataeva ye mānavāḥ pāpakarmmaṇā satyatāṁ rundhanti teṣāṁ sarvvasya durācaraṇasyādharmmasya ca viruddhaṁ svargād īśvarasya kopaḥ prakāśate|

19 Because that which is known of God is revealed among them, for God revealed [it] to them,

yata īśvaramadhi yadyad jñeyaṁ tad īśvaraḥ svayaṁ tān prati prakāśitavān tasmāt teṣām agocaraṁ nahi|

20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead—to their being inexcusable; (aïdios g126)

phalatastasyānantaśaktīśvaratvādīnyadṛśyānyapi sṛṣṭikālam ārabhya karmmasu prakāśamānāni dṛśyante tasmāt teṣāṁ doṣaprakṣālanasya panthā nāsti| (aïdios g126)

21 because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was darkened,

aparam īśvaraṁ jñātvāpi te tam īśvarajñānena nādriyanta kṛtajñā vā na jātāḥ; tasmāt teṣāṁ sarvve tarkā viphalībhūtāḥ, aparañca teṣāṁ vivekaśūnyāni manāṁsi timire magnāni|

22 professing to be wise, they were made fools,

te svān jñānino jñātvā jñānahīnā abhavan

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

anaśvarasyeśvarasya gauravaṁ vihāya naśvaramanuṣyapaśupakṣyurogāmiprabhṛterākṛtiviśiṣṭapratimāstairāśritāḥ|

24 For this reason also God gave them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonor their bodies among themselves;

itthaṁ ta īśvarasya satyatāṁ vihāya mṛṣāmatam āśritavantaḥ saccidānandaṁ sṛṣṭikarttāraṁ tyaktvā sṛṣṭavastunaḥ pūjāṁ sevāñca kṛtavantaḥ; (aiōn g165)

25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and honored and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

iti hetorīśvarastān kukriyāyāṁ samarpya nijanijakucintābhilāṣābhyāṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ parasparam apamānitaṁ karttum adadāt|

26 Because of this God gave them up to dishonorable affections, for even their females changed the natural use into that against nature;

īśvareṇa teṣu kvabhilāṣe samarpiteṣu teṣāṁ yoṣitaḥ svābhāvikācaraṇam apahāya viparītakṛtye prāvarttanta;

27 and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, burned in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the repayment of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.

tathā puruṣā api svābhāvikayoṣitsaṅgamaṁ vihāya parasparaṁ kāmakṛśānunā dagdhāḥ santaḥ pumāṁsaḥ puṁbhiḥ sākaṁ kukṛtye samāsajya nijanijabhrānteḥ samucitaṁ phalam alabhanta|

28 And according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

te sveṣāṁ manaḥsvīśvarāya sthānaṁ dātum anicchukāstato hetorīśvarastān prati duṣṭamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvañca dattavān|

29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

ataeva te sarvve 'nyāyo vyabhicāro duṣṭatvaṁ lobho jighāṁsā īrṣyā vadho vivādaścāturī kumatirityādibhi rduṣkarmmabhiḥ paripūrṇāḥ santaḥ

30 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

karṇejapā apavādina īśvaradveṣakā hiṁsakā ahaṅkāriṇa ātmaślāghinaḥ kukarmmotpādakāḥ pitrorājñālaṅghakā

31 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

avicārakā niyamalaṅghinaḥ sneharahitā atidveṣiṇo nirdayāśca jātāḥ|

32 who the righteous judgment of God having known—that those practicing such things are worthy of death—not only do them, but also have delight with those practicing them.

ye janā etādṛśaṁ karmma kurvvanti taeva mṛtiyogyā īśvarasya vicāramīdṛśaṁ jñātvāpi ta etādṛśaṁ karmma svayaṁ kurvvanti kevalamiti nahi kintu tādṛśakarmmakāriṣu lokeṣvapi prīyante|
