Romans 3

1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?

aparañca yihūdinaḥ kiṁ śreṣṭhatvaṁ? tathā tvakchedasya vā kiṁ phalaṁ?

2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

sarvvathā bahūni phalāni santi, viśeṣata īśvarasya śāstraṁ tebhyo'dīyata|

3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

kaiścid aviśvasane kṛte teṣām aviśvasanāt kim īśvarasya viśvāsyatāyā hānirutpatsyate?

4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."

kenāpi prakāreṇa nahi| yadyapi sarvve manuṣyā mithyāvādinastathāpīśvaraḥ satyavādī| śāstre yathā likhitamāste, atastvantu svavākyena nirddoṣo hi bhaviṣyasi| vicāre caiva niṣpāpo bhaviṣyasi na saṁśayaḥ|

5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).

asmākam anyāyena yadīśvarasya nyāyaḥ prakāśate tarhi kiṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ? ahaṁ mānuṣāṇāṁ kathāmiva kathāṁ kathayāmi, īśvaraḥ samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ dattvā kim anyāyī bhaviṣyati?

6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?

itthaṁ na bhavatu, tathā satīśvaraḥ kathaṁ jagato vicārayitā bhaviṣyati?

7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

mama mithyāvākyavadanād yadīśvarasya satyatvena tasya mahimā varddhate tarhi kasmādahaṁ vicāre'parādhitvena gaṇyo bhavāmi?

8 And Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.

maṅgalārthaṁ pāpamapi karaṇīyamiti vākyaṁ tvayā kuto nocyate? kintu yairucyate te nitāntaṁ daṇḍasya pātrāṇi bhavanti; tathāpi tadvākyam asmābhirapyucyata ityasmākaṁ glāniṁ kurvvantaḥ kiyanto lokā vadanti|

9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.

anyalokebhyo vayaṁ kiṁ śreṣṭhāḥ? kadācana nahi yato yihūdino 'nyadeśinaśca sarvvaeva pāpasyāyattā ityasya pramāṇaṁ vayaṁ pūrvvam adadāma|

10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."

lipi ryathāste, naikopi dhārmmiko janaḥ|

11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.

tathā jñānīśvarajñānī mānavaḥ kopi nāsti hi|

12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."

vimārgagāminaḥ sarvve sarvve duṣkarmmakāriṇaḥ| eko janopi no teṣāṁ sādhukarmma karoti ca|

13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"

tathā teṣāntu vai kaṇṭhā anāvṛtaśmaśānavat| stutivādaṁ prakurvvanti jihvābhiste tu kevalaṁ| teṣāmoṣṭhasya nimne tu viṣaṁ tiṣṭhati sarppavat|

14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

mukhaṁ teṣāṁ hi śāpena kapaṭena ca pūryyate|

15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.

raktapātāya teṣāṁ tu padāni kṣipragāni ca|

16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.

pathi teṣāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nāśaḥ kleśaśca kevalaḥ|

17 The way of peace, they have not known."

te janā nahi jānanti panthānaṁ sukhadāyinaṁ|

18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

parameśād bhayaṁ yattat taccakṣuṣoragocaraṁ|

19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

vyavasthāyāṁ yadyallikhati tad vyavasthādhīnān lokān uddiśya likhatīti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| tato manuṣyamātro niruttaraḥ san īśvarasya sākṣād aparādhī bhavati|

20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

ataeva vyavasthānurūpaiḥ karmmabhiḥ kaścidapi prāṇīśvarasya sākṣāt sapuṇyīkṛto bhavituṁ na śakṣyati yato vyavasthayā pāpajñānamātraṁ jāyate|

21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;

kintu vyavasthāyāḥ pṛthag īśvareṇa deyaṁ yat puṇyaṁ tad vyavasthāyā bhaviṣyadvādigaṇasya ca vacanaiḥ pramāṇīkṛtaṁ sad idānīṁ prakāśate|

22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,

yīśukhrīṣṭe viśvāsakaraṇād īśvareṇa dattaṁ tat puṇyaṁ sakaleṣu prakāśitaṁ sat sarvvān viśvāsinaḥ prati varttate|

23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

teṣāṁ kopi prabhedo nāsti, yataḥ sarvvaeva pāpina īśvarīyatejohīnāśca jātāḥ|

24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

ta īśvarasyānugrahād mūlyaṁ vinā khrīṣṭakṛtena paritrāṇena sapuṇyīkṛtā bhavanti|

25 whom God set forth whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;

yasmāt svaśoṇitena viśvāsāt pāpanāśako balī bhavituṁ sa eva pūrvvam īśvareṇa niścitaḥ, ittham īśvarīyasahiṣṇutvāt purākṛtapāpānāṁ mārjjanakaraṇe svīyayāthārthyaṁ tena prakāśyate,

26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

varttamānakālīyamapi svayāthārthyaṁ tena prakāśyate, aparaṁ yīśau viśvāsinaṁ sapuṇyīkurvvannapi sa yāthārthikastiṣṭhati|

27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

tarhi kutrātmaślāghā? sā dūrīkṛtā; kayā vyavasthayā? kiṁ kriyārūpavyavasthayā? itthaṁ nahi kintu tat kevalaviśvāsarūpayā vyavasthayaiva bhavati|

28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

ataeva vyavasthānurūpāḥ kriyā vinā kevalena viśvāsena mānavaḥ sapuṇyīkṛto bhavituṁ śaknotītyasya rāddhāntaṁ darśayāmaḥ|

29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,

sa kiṁ kevalayihūdinām īśvaro bhavati? bhinnadeśinām īśvaro na bhavati? bhinnadeśināmapi bhavati;

30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

yasmād eka īśvaro viśvāsāt tvakchedino viśvāsenātvakchedinaśca sapuṇyīkariṣyati|

31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.

tarhi viśvāsena vayaṁ kiṁ vyavasthāṁ lumpāma? itthaṁ na bhavatu vayaṁ vyavasthāṁ saṁsthāpayāma eva|
