Romans 15

1 And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;

balavadbhirasmābhi rdurbbalānāṁ daurbbalyaṁ soḍhavyaṁ na ca sveṣām iṣṭācāra ācaritavyaḥ|

2 for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,

asmākam ekaiko janaḥ svasamīpavāsino hitārthaṁ niṣṭhārthañca tasyaiveṣṭācāram ācaratu|

3 for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;

yataḥ khrīṣṭo'pi nijeṣṭācāraṁ nācaritavān, yathā likhitam āste, tvannindakagaṇasyaiva nindābhi rnindito'smyahaṁ|

4 for as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

aparañca vayaṁ yat sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayo rjanakena śāstreṇa pratyāśāṁ labhemahi tannimittaṁ pūrvvakāle likhitāni sarvvavacanānyasmākam upadeśārthameva lilikhire|

5 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayorākaro ya īśvaraḥ sa evaṁ karotu yat prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭa iva yuṣmākam ekajano'nyajanena sārddhaṁ manasa aikyam ācaret;

6 that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

yūyañca sarvva ekacittā bhūtvā mukhaikenevāsmatprabhuyīśukhrīṣṭasya piturīśvarasya guṇān kīrttayeta|

7 for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.

aparam īśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ khrīṣṭo yathā yuṣmān pratyagṛhlāt tathā yuṣmākamapyeko jano'nyajanaṁ pratigṛhlātu|

8 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

yathā likhitam āste, ato'haṁ sammukhe tiṣṭhan bhinnadeśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni pareśvara||

9 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it has been written: “Because of this I will confess to You among nations, and to Your Name I will sing praise”;

tasya dayālutvācca bhinnajātīyā yad īśvarasya guṇān kīrttayeyustadarthaṁ yīśuḥ khrīṣṭastvakchedaniyamasya nighno'bhavad ityahaṁ vadāmi| yathā likhitam āste, ato'haṁ sammukhe tiṣṭhan bhinnadeśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni pareśvara||

10 and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;

aparamapi likhitam āste, he anyajātayo yūyaṁ samaṁ nandata tajjanaiḥ|

11 and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;

punaśca likhitam āste, he sarvvadeśino yūyaṁ dhanyaṁ brūta pareśvaraṁ| he tadīyanarā yūyaṁ kurudhvaṁ tatpraśaṁsanaṁ||

12 and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;

apara yīśāyiyo'pi lilekha, yīśayasya tu yat mūlaṁ tat prakāśiṣyate tadā| sarvvajātīyanṛṇāñca śāsakaḥ samudeṣyati| tatrānyadeśilokaiśca pratyāśā prakariṣyate||

13 and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

ataeva yūyaṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvād yat sampūrṇāṁ pratyāśāṁ lapsyadhve tadarthaṁ tatpratyāśājanaka īśvaraḥ pratyayena yuṣmān śāntyānandābhyāṁ sampūrṇān karotu|

14 And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;

he bhrātaro yūyaṁ sadbhāvayuktāḥ sarvvaprakāreṇa jñānena ca sampūrṇāḥ parasparopadeśe ca tatparā ityahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi,

15 and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

tathāpyahaṁ yat pragalbhataro bhavan yuṣmān prabodhayāmi tasyaikaṁ kāraṇamidaṁ|

16 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

bhinnajātīyāḥ pavitreṇātmanā pāvitanaivedyarūpā bhūtvā yad grāhyā bhaveyustannimittamaham īśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhye yīśukhrīṣṭasya sevakatvaṁ dānaṁ īśvarāt labdhavānasmi|

17 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

īśvaraṁ prati yīśukhrīṣṭena mama ślāghākaraṇasya kāraṇam āste|

18 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

bhinnadeśina ājñāgrāhiṇaḥ karttuṁ khrīṣṭo vākyena kriyayā ca, āścaryyalakṣaṇaiścitrakriyābhiḥ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvena ca yāni karmmāṇi mayā sādhitavān,

19 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

kevalaṁ tānyeva vinānyasya kasyacit karmmaṇo varṇanāṁ karttuṁ pragalbho na bhavāmi| tasmāt ā yirūśālama illūrikaṁ yāvat sarvvatra khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ prācārayaṁ|

20 and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—

anyena nicitāyāṁ bhittāvahaṁ yanna nicinomi tannimittaṁ yatra yatra sthāne khrīṣṭasya nāma kadāpi kenāpi na jñāpitaṁ tatra tatra susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum ahaṁ yate|

21 but according as it has been written: “To whom it was not told concerning Him, they will see; and they who have not heard, will understand.”

yādṛśaṁ likhitam āste, yai rvārttā tasya na prāptā darśanaṁ taistu lapsyate| yaiśca naiva śrutaṁ kiñcit boddhuṁ śakṣyanti te janāḥ||

22 For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,

tasmād yuṣmatsamīpagamanād ahaṁ muhurmuhu rnivārito'bhavaṁ|

23 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,

kintvidānīm atra pradeśeṣu mayā na gataṁ sthānaṁ kimapi nāvaśiṣyate yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gantuṁ bahuvatsarānārabhya māmakīnākāṅkṣā ca vidyata iti hetoḥ

24 when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.

spāniyādeśagamanakāle'haṁ yuṣmanmadhyena gacchan yuṣmān ālokiṣye, tataḥ paraṁ yuṣmatsambhāṣaṇena tṛptiṁ parilabhya taddeśagamanārthaṁ yuṣmābhi rvisarjayiṣye, īdṛśī madīyā pratyāśā vidyate|

25 And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;

kintu sāmprataṁ pavitralokānāṁ sevanāya yirūśālamnagaraṁ vrajāmi|

26 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;

yato yirūśālamasthapavitralokānāṁ madhye ye daridrā arthaviśrāṇanena tānupakarttuṁ mākidaniyādeśīyā ākhāyādeśīyāśca lokā aicchan|

27 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

eṣā teṣāṁ sadicchā yataste teṣām ṛṇinaḥ santi yato heto rbhinnajātīyā yeṣāṁ paramārthasyāṁśino jātā aihikaviṣaye teṣāmupakārastaiḥ karttavyaḥ|

28 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

ato mayā tat karmma sādhayitvā tasmin phale tebhyaḥ samarpite yuṣmanmadhyena spāniyādeśo gamiṣyate|

29 and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.

yuṣmatsamīpe mamāgamanasamaye khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasya pūrṇavareṇa sambalitaḥ san aham āgamiṣyāmi iti mayā jñāyate|

30 And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,

he bhrātṛgaṇa prabho ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā pavitrasyātmānaḥ premnā ca vinaye'haṁ

31 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;

yihūdādeśasthānām aviśvāsilokānāṁ karebhyo yadahaṁ rakṣāṁ labheya madīyaitena sevanakarmmaṇā ca yad yirūśālamasthāḥ pavitralokāstuṣyeyuḥ,

32 that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

tadarthaṁ yūyaṁ matkṛta īśvarāya prārthayamāṇā yatadhvaṁ tenāham īśvarecchayā sānandaṁ yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gatvā yuṣmābhiḥ sahitaḥ prāṇān āpyāyituṁ pārayiṣyāmi|

33 and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.

śāntidāyaka īśvaro yuṣmākaṁ sarvveṣāṁ saṅgī bhūyāt| iti|
