< Romans 12 >
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
he bhrAtara Ishvarasya kR^ipayAhaM yuShmAn vinaye yUyaM svaM svaM sharIraM sajIvaM pavitraM grAhyaM balim Ishvaramuddishya samutsR^ijata, eShA sevA yuShmAkaM yogyA|
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. (aiōn )
aparaM yUyaM sAMsArikA iva mAcharata, kintu svaM svaM svabhAvaM parAvartya nUtanAchAriNo bhavata, tata Ishvarasya nideshaH kIdR^ig uttamo grahaNIyaH sampUrNashcheti yuShmAbhiranubhAviShyate| (aiōn )
3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
kashchidapi jano yogyatvAdadhikaM svaM na manyatAM kintu Ishvaro yasmai pratyayasya yatparimANam adadAt sa tadanusArato yogyarUpaM svaM manutAm, IshvarAd anugrahaM prAptaH san yuShmAkam ekaikaM janam ityAj nApayAmi|
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
yato yadvadasmAkam ekasmin sharIre bahUnya NgAni santi kintu sarvveShAma NgAnAM kAryyaM samAnaM nahi;
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
tadvadasmAkaM bahutve. api sarvve vayaM khrIShTe ekasharIrAH parasparam a Ngapratya Ngatvena bhavAmaH|
6 And we have different gifts according to the grace that was given to us. If prophecy, according to the proportion of the faith;
asmAd IshvarAnugraheNa visheShaM visheShaM dAnam asmAsu prApteShu satsu kopi yadi bhaviShyadvAkyaM vadati tarhi pratyayasya parimANAnusArataH sa tad vadatu;
7 if service, in the service; if teaching, in the teaching;
yadvA yadi kashchit sevanakArI bhavati tarhi sa tatsevanaM karotu; athavA yadi kashchid adhyApayitA bhavati tarhi so. adhyApayatu;
8 if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
tathA ya upadeShTA bhavati sa upadishatu yashcha dAtA sa saralatayA dadAtu yastvadhipatiH sa yatnenAdhipatitvaM karotu yashcha dayAluH sa hR^iShTamanasA dayatAm|
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
apara ncha yuShmAkaM prema kApaTyavarjitaM bhavatu yad abhadraM tad R^itIyadhvaM yachcha bhadraM tasmin anurajyadhvam|
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; outdo one another in showing honor;
aparaM bhrAtR^itvapremnA parasparaM prIyadhvaM samAdarAd eko. aparajanaM shreShThaM jAnIdhvam|
11 not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
tathA kAryye nirAlasyA manasi cha sodyogAH santaH prabhuM sevadhvam|
12 rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer;
aparaM pratyAshAyAm AnanditA duHkhasamaye cha dhairyyayuktA bhavata; prArthanAyAM satataM pravarttadhvaM|
13 contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.
pavitrANAM dInatAM dUrIkurudhvam atithisevAyAm anurajyadhvam|
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
ye janA yuShmAn tADayanti tAn AshiShaM vadata shApam adattvA daddhvamAshiSham|
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
ye janA Anandanti taiH sArddham Anandata ye cha rudanti taiH saha rudita|
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be arrogant, but associate with the humble. Do not be conceited.
apara ncha yuShmAkaM manasAM parasparam ekobhAvo bhavatu; aparam uchchapadam anAkA NkShya nIchalokaiH sahApi mArdavam Acharata; svAn j nAnino na manyadhvaM|
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all people.
parasmAd apakAraM prApyApi paraM nApakuruta| sarvveShAM dR^iShTito yat karmmottamaM tadeva kuruta|
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people.
yadi bhavituM shakyate tarhi yathAshakti sarvvalokaiH saha nirvvirodhena kAlaM yApayata|
19 Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for the wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord."
he priyabandhavaH, kasmaichid apakArasya samuchitaM daNDaM svayaM na daddhvaM, kintvIshvarIyakrodhAya sthAnaM datta yato likhitamAste parameshvaraH kathayati, dAnaM phalasya matkarmma sUchitaM pradadAmyahaM|
20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for by doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head."
itikAraNAd ripu ryadi kShudhArttaste tarhi taM tvaM prabhojaya| tathA yadi tR^iShArttaH syAt tarhi taM paripAyaya| tena tvaM mastake tasya jvaladagniM nidhAsyasi|
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
