Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
hE bhrAtRgaNa vyavasthAvidaH prati mamEdaM nivEdanaM| vidhiH kEvalaM yAvajjIvaM mAnavOparyyadhipatitvaM karOtIti yUyaM kiM na jAnItha?
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
yAvatkAlaM pati rjIvati tAvatkAlam UPhA bhAryyA vyavasthayA tasmin baddhA tiSThati kintu yadi pati rmriyatE tarhi sA nArI patyu rvyavasthAtO mucyatE|
3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
EtatkAraNAt patyurjIvanakAlE nArI yadyanyaM puruSaM vivahati tarhi sA vyabhicAriNI bhavati kintu yadi sa pati rmriyatE tarhi sA tasyA vyavasthAyA muktA satI puruSAntarENa vyUPhApi vyabhicAriNI na bhavati|
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
hE mama bhrAtRgaNa, IzvaranimittaM yadasmAkaM phalaM jAyatE tadarthaM zmazAnAd utthApitEna puruSENa saha yuSmAkaM vivAhO yad bhavEt tadarthaM khrISTasya zarIrENa yUyaM vyavasthAM prati mRtavantaH|
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
yatO'smAkaM zArIrikAcaraNasamayE maraNanimittaM phalam utpAdayituM vyavasthayA dUSitaH pApAbhilASO'smAkam aggESu jIvan AsIt|
6 But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
kintu tadA yasyA vyavasthAyA vazE Asmahi sAmprataM tAM prati mRtatvAd vayaM tasyA adhInatvAt muktA iti hEtOrIzvarO'smAbhiH purAtanalikhitAnusArAt na sEvitavyaH kintu navInasvabhAvEnaiva sEvitavyaH
7 What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
tarhi vayaM kiM brUmaH? vyavasthA kiM pApajanikA bhavati? nEtthaM bhavatu| vyavasthAm avidyamAnAyAM pApaM kim ityahaM nAvEdaM; kinjca lObhaM mA kArSIriti cEd vyavasthAgranthE likhitaM nAbhaviSyat tarhi lObhaH kimbhUtastadahaM nAjnjAsyaM|
8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
kintu vyavasthayA pApaM chidraM prApyAsmAkam antaH sarvvavidhaM kutsitAbhilASam ajanayat; yatO vyavasthAyAm avidyamAnAyAM pApaM mRtaM|
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
aparaM pUrvvaM vyavasthAyAm avidyamAnAyAm aham ajIvaM tataH param AjnjAyAm upasthitAyAm pApam ajIvat tadAham amriyE|
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
itthaM sati jIvananimittA yAjnjA sA mama mRtyujanikAbhavat|
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
yataH pApaM chidraM prApya vyavasthitAdEzEna mAM vanjcayitvA tEna mAm ahan|
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
ataEva vyavasthA pavitrA, AdEzazca pavitrO nyAyyO hitakArI ca bhavati|
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
tarhi yat svayaM hitakRt tat kiM mama mRtyujanakam abhavat? nEtthaM bhavatu; kintu pApaM yat pAtakamiva prakAzatE tathA nidEzEna pApaM yadatIva pAtakamiva prakAzatE tadarthaM hitOpAyEna mama maraNam ajanayat|
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
vyavasthAtmabOdhikEti vayaM jAnImaH kintvahaM zArIratAcArI pApasya krItakigkarO vidyE|
15 For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
yatO yat karmma karOmi tat mama manO'bhimataM nahi; aparaM yan mama manO'bhimataM tanna karOmi kintu yad RtIyE tat karOmi|
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
tathAtvE yan mamAnabhimataM tad yadi karOmi tarhi vyavasthA sUttamEti svIkarOmi|
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
ataEva samprati tat karmma mayA kriyata iti nahi kintu mama zarIrasthEna pApEnaiva kriyatE|
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
yatO mayi, arthatO mama zarIrE, kimapyuttamaM na vasati, Etad ahaM jAnAmi; mamEcchukatAyAM tiSThantyAmapyaham uttamakarmmasAdhanE samarthO na bhavAmi|
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
yatO yAmuttamAM kriyAM karttumahaM vAnjchAmi tAM na karOmi kintu yat kutsitaM karmma karttum anicchukO'smi tadEva karOmi|
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
ataEva yadyat karmma karttuM mamEcchA na bhavati tad yadi karOmi tarhi tat mayA na kriyatE, mamAntarvarttinA pApEnaiva kriyatE|
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
bhadraM karttum icchukaM mAM yO 'bhadraM karttuM pravarttayati tAdRzaM svabhAvamEkaM mayi pazyAmi|
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
aham AntarikapuruSENEzvaravyavasthAyAM santuSTa AsE;
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
kintu tadviparItaM yudhyantaM tadanyamEkaM svabhAvaM madIyAggasthitaM prapazyAmi, sa madIyAggasthitapApasvabhAvasyAyattaM mAM karttuM cESTatE|
24 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
hA hA yO'haM durbhAgyO manujastaM mAm EtasmAn mRtAccharIrAt kO nistArayiSyati?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
asmAkaM prabhuNA yIzukhrISTEna nistArayitAram IzvaraM dhanyaM vadAmi| ataEva zarIrENa pApavyavasthAyA manasA tu IzvaravyavasthAyAH sEvanaM karOmi|
