Romans 13
1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
yu. smaakam ekaikajana. h "saasanapadasya nighno bhavatu yato yaani "saasanapadaani santi taani sarvvaa. nii"svare. na sthaapitaani; ii"svara. m vinaa padasthaapana. m na bhavati|
2 Therefore he who resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment.
iti heto. h "saasanapadasya yat praatikuulya. m tad ii"svariiyaniruupa. nasya praatikuulyameva; apara. m ye praatikuulyam aacaranti te sve. saa. m samucita. m da. n.da. m svayameva gha. tayante|
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the same,
"saastaa sadaacaari. naa. m bhayaprado nahi duraacaari. naameva bhayaprado bhavati; tva. m ki. m tasmaan nirbhayo bhavitum icchasi? tarhi satkarmmaacara, tasmaad ya"so lapsyase,
4 for it is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on those who do what is wrong.
yatastava sadaacara. naaya sa ii"svarasya bh. rtyo. asti| kintu yadi kukarmmaacarasi tarhi tva. m "sa"nkasva yata. h sa nirarthaka. m kha"nga. m na dhaarayati; kukarmmaacaari. na. m samucita. m da. n.dayitum sa ii"svarasya da. n.dadabh. rtya eva|
5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of this retribution, but also as a matter of conscience.
ataeva kevalada. n.dabhayaannahi kintu sadasadbodhaadapi tasya va"syena bhavitavya. m|
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God, concerned with this very thing.
etasmaad yu. smaaka. m raajakaradaanamapyucita. m yasmaad ye kara. m g. rhlanti ta ii"svarasya ki"nkaraa bhuutvaa satatam etasmin karmma. ni nivi. s.taasti. s.thanti|
7 Give therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due; customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor.
asmaat karagraahi. ne kara. m datta, tathaa "sulkagraahi. ne "sulka. m datta, apara. m yasmaad bhetavya. m tasmaad bibhiita, ya"sca samaadara. niiyasta. m samaadriyadhvam; ittha. m yasya yat praapya. m tat tasmai datta|
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
yu. smaaka. m paraspara. m prema vinaa. anyat kimapi deyam. r.na. m na bhavatu, yato ya. h parasmin prema karoti tena vyavasthaa sidhyati|
9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not give false testimony," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."
vastuta. h paradaaraan maa gaccha, narahatyaa. m maa kaar. sii. h, cairyya. m maa kaar. sii. h, mithyaasaak. sya. m maa dehi, lobha. m maa kaar. sii. h, etaa. h sarvvaa aaj naa etaabhyo bhinnaa yaa kaacid aaj naasti saapi svasamiipavaasini svavat prema kurvvityanena vacanena veditaa|
10 Love does not harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
yata. h prema samiipavaasino. a"subha. m na janayati tasmaat premnaa sarvvaa vyavasthaa paalyate|
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
pratyayiibhavanakaale. asmaaka. m paritraa. nasya saamiipyaad idaanii. m tasya saamiipyam avyavahita. m; ata. h samaya. m vivicyaasmaabhi. h saampratam ava"syameva nidraato jaagarttavya. m|
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
bahutaraa yaaminii gataa prabhaata. m sannidhi. m praapta. m tasmaat taamasiiyaa. h kriyaa. h parityajyaasmaabhi rvaasariiyaa sajjaa paridhaatavyaa|
13 Let us walk decently, as in the daytime; not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and lustful acts, and not in dissension and jealousy.
ato heto rvaya. m divaa vihita. m sadaacara. nam aacari. syaama. h| ra"ngaraso mattatva. m lampa. tatva. m kaamukatva. m vivaada iir. syaa caitaani parityak. syaama. h|
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
