Romans 2
1 [God will severely punish non-Jewish people who habitually do evil things, because he has clearly revealed that he is angry with them]. So, [when God judges people], he will not excuse any one of you Jews [to whom I am writing]. You [(sg)] say that [God should] punish [non-Jews for doing evil things]. But when any one of you says that, it is you yourself whom you are saying that God should punish, because you [(sg)] do [some of] the same [evil] things [that the non-Jews do].
ஹே பரதூ³ஷக மநுஷ்ய ய: கஸ்²சந த்வம்’ ப⁴வஸி தவோத்தரதா³நாய பந்தா² நாஸ்தி யதோ யஸ்மாத் கர்ம்மண: பரஸ்த்வயா தூ³ஷ்யதே தஸ்மாத் த்வமபி தூ³ஷ்யஸே, யதஸ்தம்’ தூ³ஷயந்நபி த்வம்’ தத்³வத்³ ஆசரஸி|
2 We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly [non-Jewish] people who do such [evil] things.
கிந்த்வேதாத்³ரு’கா³சாரிப்⁴யோ யம்’ த³ண்ட³ம் ஈஸ்²வரோ நிஸ்²சிநோதி ஸ யதா²ர்த² இதி வயம்’ ஜாநீம: |
3 So, you who [say God should punish] others for doing evil things yet you do evil things yourself, (you should certainly not think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God!/do you think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God?) [RHQ]
அதஏவ ஹே மாநுஷ த்வம்’ யாத்³ரு’கா³சாரிணோ தூ³ஷயஸி ஸ்வயம்’ யதி³ தாத்³ரு’கா³சரஸி தர்ஹி த்வம் ஈஸ்²வரத³ண்டா³த் பலாயிதும்’ ஸ²க்ஷ்யஸீதி கிம்’ பு³த்⁴யஸே?
4 And you should not say, “God is acting very tolerantly and patiently toward me, [so I do not need to stop sinning] [DOU].” (You should realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior!/Do you not realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior?) [RHQ]
அபரம்’ தவ மநஸ: பரிவர்த்தநம்’ கர்த்தும் இஸ்²வரஸ்யாநுக்³ரஹோ ப⁴வதி தந்ந பு³த்³த்⁴வா த்வம்’ கிம்’ ததீ³யாநுக்³ரஹக்ஷமாசிரஸஹிஷ்ணுத்வநிதி⁴ம்’ துச்சீ²கரோஷி?
5 But instead, by your stubbornly refusing to turn away from your sinful behavior [DOU], you are causing [MET] God to punish you even more severely. [He will do that] at the time when he shows that he is angry and judges people fairly.
ததா² ஸ்வாந்த: கரணஸ்ய கடோ²ரத்வாத் கே²த³ராஹித்யாச்சேஸ்²வரஸ்ய ந்யாய்யவிசாரப்ரகாஸ²நஸ்ய க்ரோத⁴ஸ்ய ச தி³நம்’ யாவத் கிம்’ ஸ்வார்த²ம்’ கோபம்’ ஸஞ்சிநோஷி?
6 God will pay back everyone according to [what they deserve for] what they have done.
கிந்து ஸ ஏகைகமநுஜாய தத்கர்ம்மாநுஸாரேண ப்ரதிப²லம்’ தா³ஸ்யதி;
7 [Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
வஸ்துதஸ்து யே ஜநா தை⁴ர்ய்யம்’ த்⁴ரு’த்வா ஸத்கர்ம்ம குர்வ்வந்தோ மஹிமா ஸத்காரோ(அ)மரத்வஞ்சைதாநி ம்ரு’க³யந்தே தேப்⁴யோ(அ)நந்தாயு ர்தா³ஸ்யதி| (aiōnios g166)
8 But some people act in a selfish way and refuse to believe that [what God says is] true, and they do the things that [God says] are wrong. [God will] punish them very severely [DOU, MTY].
அபரம்’ யே ஜநா: ஸத்யத⁴ர்ம்மம் அக்³ரு’ஹீத்வா விபரீதத⁴ர்ம்மம் க்³ரு’ஹ்லந்தி தாத்³ரு’ஸா² விரோதி⁴ஜநா: கோபம்’ க்ரோத⁴ஞ்ச போ⁴க்ஷ்யந்தே|
9 He will cause everyone who habitually does evil deeds to suffer greatly, [with the result that they will become severely] distressed [DOU]. This certainly will happen to the Jews [who refuse to accept God’s message, because God gave them the privilege to be his special people], but it will also happen to the non-Jews.
ஆ யிஹூதி³நோ(அ)ந்யதே³ஸி²ந: பர்ய்யந்தம்’ யாவந்த: குகர்ம்மகாரிண: ப்ராணிந: ஸந்தி தே ஸர்வ்வே து³: க²ம்’ யாதநாஞ்ச க³மிஷ்யந்தி;
10 But [God will] greatly reward spiritually [MET, DOU] every person who habitually does good deeds. He will [certainly] do this for the Jews [because God chose them as his special people], but he will also do it for the non-Jews.
கிந்து ஆ யிஹூதி³நோ பி⁴ந்நதே³ஸி²பர்ய்யந்தா யாவந்த: ஸத்கர்ம்மகாரிணோ லோகா: ஸந்தி தாந் ப்ரதி மஹிமா ஸத்கார: ஸா²ந்திஸ்²ச ப⁴விஷ்யந்தி|
11 God [will do this fairly], because people’s status does not influence him.
ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய விசாரே பக்ஷபாதோ நாஸ்தி|
12 Although [non-Jews do not have] the laws that [God gave to Moses], all [non-Jews] who sin will be eternally separated from God. He will [not consider whether or not they knew] the laws that he [gave to Moses]. And all the [Jews] who have sinned in spite of knowing the laws that [God gave to Moses will also be punished] {[God will also punish them]}. [They will be punished for disobeying] God’s laws.

13 [It is right for them to be punished] {[God to punish them]} [because] it is not those who [merely] know God’s laws whom he considers to be righteous. On the contrary, it is only those who continually have obeyed [all] (of [God’s] laws/of the laws that [God gave to Moses]) (whom God will consider righteous/whose record of sins God will erase).

14 Whenever the non-Jews, who do not have the laws [God gave to Moses], naturally obey those laws, [they prove that] they have a law within their own minds, even though they do not have the laws [God gave to Moses].
யதோ (அ)லப்³த⁴வ்யவஸ்தா²ஸா²ஸ்த்ரா பி⁴ந்நதே³ஸீ²யலோகா யதி³ ஸ்வபா⁴வதோ வ்யவஸ்தா²நுரூபாந் ஆசாராந் குர்வ்வந்தி தர்ஹ்யலப்³த⁴ஸா²ஸ்த்ரா: ஸந்தோ(அ)பி தே ஸ்வேஷாம்’ வ்யவஸ்தா²ஸா²ஸ்த்ரமிவ ஸ்வயமேவ ப⁴வந்தி|
15 They show that they know in their own minds what God [commands in his] laws [MET], as each person in his very own conscience either accuses or excuses/defends himself [concerning his own behavior].

16 God [will punish people] at the time when he will judge them according to what they have thought and done. He will judge them [even] for the things that they have done secretly. He will judge people by [authorizing] Christ Jesus [to judge them]. This is [what I tell people when] I preach the gospel to them.

17 [Now I have something to say to any one of] you [Jews to whom I am writing]: You [(sg)] boast about yourself saying, “I am a Jew.” You [(sg)] trust [that God will save you because you possess] the laws [that he gave to Moses]. You boast that [you belong to] God.
பஸ்²ய த்வம்’ ஸ்வயம்’ யிஹூதீ³தி விக்²யாதோ வ்யவஸ்தோ²பரி விஸ்²வாஸம்’ கரோஷி,
18 You know what God desires. Because you have been taught {[people] have taught you} [God’s] laws, you are able to know which things are right and to choose to do them.
ஈஸ்²வரமுத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ஸ்வம்’ ஸ்²லாக⁴ஸே, ததா² வ்யவஸ்த²யா ஸி²க்ஷிதோ பூ⁴த்வா தஸ்யாபி⁴மதம்’ ஜாநாஸி, ஸர்வ்வாஸாம்’ கதா²நாம்’ ஸாரம்’ விவிம்’க்ஷே,
19 You are certain that you [are able to] show [God’s truth to non-Jews], as guides [show the road] to those who are blind [MET]. You are certain that by what you say you can show God’s way to the [non-Jews who do not understand it], as a light shows the way to [those who walk in] the darkness [MET, DOU].

20 [You are certain that you] can instruct/correct [non-Jews, whom you consider] foolish [because of their not understanding God’s message]. Because you have in [God’s] laws a [written] expression of true knowledge [HEN], you are certain that you can teach [people who, being like] children, do not know [God’s truth] [MET].

21 [Since you claim that you have all these advantages because you are a Jew], (it is disgusting that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach!/why is it that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach?) [RHQ] You who preach that people should not steal things, it is disgusting that you yourself steal things! [RHQ]

22 You who command people not to have sexual relations with someone to whom they are not married, it is disgusting that you commit adultery yourself! [RHQ] You who detest idols, it is disgusting that you rob temples [where people worship idols]! [RHQ]
ததா² பரதா³ரக³மநம்’ ப்ரதிஷேத⁴ந் ஸ்வயம்’ கிம்’ பரதா³ராந் க³ச்ச²ஸி? ததா² த்வம்’ ஸ்வயம்’ ப்ரதிமாத்³வேஷீ ஸந் கிம்’ மந்தி³ரஸ்ய த்³ரவ்யாணி ஹரஸி?
23 You who boast saying, “[I have God’s] laws,” it is disgusting that you disobey those same laws! [RHQ] As a result you are insulting God!
யஸ்த்வம்’ வ்யவஸ்தா²ம்’ ஸ்²லாக⁴ஸே ஸ த்வம்’ கிம்’ வ்யவஸ்தா²ம் அவமத்ய நேஸ்²வரம்’ ஸம்மந்யஸே?
24 [You must not be like our ancestors, about whom] were written [these words in the Scriptures: ] “The non-Jews speak evil about God because of [the evil actions of] many of you [Jews].” The non-Jews say God must be a hypocrite if he condones the behavior of people like you.
ஸா²ஸ்த்ரே யதா² லிக²தி "பி⁴ந்நதே³ஸி²நாம்’ ஸமீபே யுஷ்மாகம்’ தோ³ஷாத்³ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய நாம்நோ நிந்தா³ ப⁴வதி| "
25 Any one of you who [is] circumcised [to show that he belongs to God] can benefit from that if he obeys the laws [God gave to Moses]. But if you [(sg), a circumcised person], disobey [God’s] laws, [God will consider that] you who are circumcised are no better [in God’s sight] than [someone who is] not circumcised.
யதி³ வ்யவஸ்தா²ம்’ பாலயஸி தர்ஹி தவ த்வக்சே²த³க்ரியா ஸப²லா ப⁴வதி; யதி வ்யவஸ்தா²ம்’ லங்க⁴ஸே தர்ஹி தவ த்வக்சே²தோ³(அ)த்வக்சே²தோ³ ப⁴விஷ்யதி|
26 This means that God will certainly consider that even [non-Jews who are] not circumcised can become his people if they obey the things that he commanded in his laws. [RHQ]
யதோ வ்யவஸ்தா²ஸா²ஸ்த்ராதி³ஷ்டத⁴ர்ம்மகர்ம்மாசாரீ புமாந் அத்வக்சே²தீ³ ஸந்நபி கிம்’ த்வக்சே²தி³நாம்’ மத்⁴யே ந க³ணயிஷ்யதே?
27 [If any one of] you disobeys God’s laws, even though [you(sg) have] the Scriptures and even though someone has circumcised you {you are circumcised} [God will punish you]. And those people who are not circumcised, but who obey God’s laws, [will declare that God is right] when he says that he will punish you.

28 It is not those who perform rituals [to show they are God’s people] who are [true] Jews, and it is not being circumcised in their bodies [that causes God to accept them] [MTY].
தஸ்மாத்³ யோ பா³ஹ்யே யிஹூதீ³ ஸ யிஹூதீ³ நஹி ததா²ங்க³ஸ்ய யஸ்த்வக்சே²த³: ஸ த்வக்சே²தோ³ நஹி;
29 On the contrary, we whom [God has changed] inwardly are [true] Jews [MTY]. And [God has accepted us because we have allowed God’s] Spirit to change our hearts, not because we perform rituals. Even if [other] people will not praise us [for that change], God will praise us.
