Romans 6
1 Someone might [RHQ] say [in reply to what I have written] that [since God acted kindly toward us] in a way we did not deserve [because we sinned], perhaps we should continue to sin in order that he may continue to act even more kindly toward us [and keep on forgiving us]! [RHQ]
ப்ரபூ⁴தரூபேண யத்³ அநுக்³ரஹ: ப்ரகாஸ²தே தத³ர்த²ம்’ பாபே திஷ்டா²ம இதி வாக்யம்’ கிம்’ வயம்’ வதி³ஷ்யாம: ? தந்ந ப⁴வது|
2 [I would reply], No, certainly not! We [ought to consider that] our sinful desires [MET] [cannot make us do what they want us to do], [just like we cannot make] a corpse do what we want it to do. So it is not right that we continue to sin! [RHQ]
பாபம்’ ப்ரதி ம்ரு’தா வயம்’ புநஸ்தஸ்மிந் கத²ம் ஜீவிஷ்யாம: ?
3 When we were baptized {[asked someone to] baptize us} in order to show that we have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Jesus Christ, our [being baptized was to declare that it was as though] we died with Christ. ([I want] you to remember that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ]
வயம்’ யாவந்தோ லோகா யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டே மஜ்ஜிதா அப⁴வாம தாவந்த ஏவ தஸ்ய மரணே மஜ்ஜிதா இதி கிம்’ யூயம்’ ந ஜாநீத²?
4 So, when we were baptized {someone baptized us}, [it was as though] we were buried with Christ. [We were baptized] in order to indicate that [we would not let our sinful desires make us do what they want us to do, just like people cannot make] a corpse [do what they want it to] do [MET]. We [were baptized] to [signify that we would] continually conduct our lives in a new way, just like Christ was caused to live again in a new way by the great [power] of [God his] Father.
ததோ யதா² பிது: பராக்ரமேண ஸ்²மஸா²நாத் க்²ரீஷ்ட உத்தா²பிதஸ்ததா² வயமபி யத் நூதநஜீவிந இவாசராமஸ்தத³ர்த²ம்’ மஜ்ஜநேந தேந ஸார்த்³த⁴ம்’ ம்ரு’த்யுரூபே ஸ்²மஸா²நே ஸம்’ஸ்தா²பிதா: |
5 Because of our close relationship with Christ, we have [separated ourselves from the former way in which we conducted our lives], just like he [was separated from his physical life when he] died [MET]. But God will also certainly [enable us to live in a new way, just like he] enabled Christ to live again.
அபரம்’ வயம்’ யதி³ தேந ஸம்’யுக்தா: ஸந்த: ஸ இவ மரணபா⁴கி³நோ ஜாதாஸ்தர்ஹி ஸ இவோத்தா²நபா⁴கி³நோ(அ)பி ப⁴விஷ்யாம: |
6 We must keep remembering that when Christ died on the cross [MET], [it was as though] our sinful nature [died with him. It has] lost its power to make us do what it wants us to do [MET]. That happened in order that we would not do the sinful [things that our bodies] [MET], which desire to sin, want us to do, and in order that we would no longer have to sin [MET], as slaves [have to do what their masters want].
வயம்’ யத் பாபஸ்ய தா³ஸா: புந ர்ந ப⁴வாமஸ்தத³ர்த²ம் அஸ்மாகம்’ பாபரூபஸ²ரீரஸ்ய விநாஸா²ர்த²ம் அஸ்மாகம்’ புராதநபுருஷஸ்தேந ஸாகம்’ க்ருஸே²(அ)ஹந்யதேதி வயம்’ ஜாநீம: |
7 [We are, as it were, freed] {[free]} [from] sinful [desires] [MET] [controlling us, just like] those who have died are free [from anything controlling them].
யோ ஹத: ஸ பாபாத் முக்த ஏவ|
8 Since [it is as though] we died with Christ, we believe that we will continue to live with him.
அதஏவ யதி³ வயம்’ க்²ரீஷ்டேந ஸார்த்³த⁴ம் அஹந்யாமஹி தர்ஹி புநரபி தேந ஸஹிதா ஜீவிஷ்யாம இத்யத்ராஸ்மாகம்’ விஸ்²வாஸோ வித்³யதே|
9 We know that since [God] enabled Christ to live again after he died, Christ will never die again. Nothing will ever be able to make him die again [PRS].
யத: ஸ்²மஸா²நாத்³ உத்தா²பித: க்²ரீஷ்டோ புந ர்ந ம்ரியத இதி வயம்’ ஜாநீம: | தஸ்மிந் கோப்யதி⁴காரோ ம்ரு’த்யோ ர்நாஸ்தி|
10 When he died, he died once for [people] who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living [again now], he lives in order to [serve/honor] God.
அபரஞ்ச ஸ யத்³ அம்ரியத தேநைகதா³ பாபம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²யாம்ரியத, யச்ச ஜீவதி தேநேஸ்²வரம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ஜீவதி;
11 Similarly, you must consider that [it is as though] you have become [unable to do what your] sinful [desires] [MET] want, as a corpse [is not able to do what anyone wants it to do]. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living [in a new way] in order to [serve/honor] God.
தத்³வத்³ யூயமபி ஸ்வாந் பாபம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ம்ரு’தாந் அஸ்மாகம்’ ப்ரபு⁴ணா யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டேநேஸ்²வரம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ஜீவந்தோ ஜாநீத|
12 So, do not let the [desire to] sin [PRS] control your bodies [MET] with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. [Remember that] your bodies will surely die, [but your spirits will never die].
அபரஞ்ச குத்ஸிதாபி⁴லாஷாந் பூரயிதும்’ யுஷ்மாகம்’ மர்த்யதே³ஹேஷு பாபம் ஆதி⁴பத்யம்’ ந கரோது|
13 Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as [you did] [MET] [when you were spiritually] dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive [spiritually]. Present all your body parts to God, [to allow him] to use them to [do] righteous things.
அபரம்’ ஸ்வம்’ ஸ்வம் அங்க³ம் அத⁴ர்ம்மஸ்யாஸ்த்ரம்’ க்ரு’த்வா பாபஸேவாயாம்’ ந ஸமர்பயத, கிந்து ஸ்²மஸா²நாத்³ உத்தி²தாநிவ ஸ்வாந் ஈஸ்²வரே ஸமர்பயத ஸ்வாந்யங்கா³நி ச த⁴ர்ம்மாஸ்த்ரஸ்வரூபாணீஸ்²வரம் உத்³தி³ஸ்²ய ஸமர்பயத|
14 Do not let a [desire to] sin control you [PRS]. The laws [that God gave Moses] did not enable you [to stop sinning]. But [now] God controls you and kindly helps you [not to sin].
யுஷ்மாகம் உபரி பாபஸ்யாதி⁴பத்யம்’ புந ர்ந ப⁴விஷ்யதி, யஸ்மாத்³ யூயம்’ வ்யவஸ்தா²யா அநாயத்தா அநுக்³ரஹஸ்ய சாயத்தா அப⁴வத|
15 [I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might] say [RHQ], “[You say that] the laws [God gave Moses] did not [enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now] treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ([That seems to mean that God permits] us to continue sinning./[Does that mean that God permits] us to continue sinning?) [RHQ]” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue [sinning]
கிந்து வயம்’ வ்யவஸ்தா²யா அநாயத்தா அநுக்³ரஹஸ்ய சாயத்தா அப⁴வாம, இதி காரணாத் கிம்’ பாபம்’ கரிஷ்யாம: ? தந்ந ப⁴வது|
16 [Slaves] have to obey [what their masters command] [MET] [them to do]. (I want you to remember this./Do you not know this?) [RHQ] Similarly, if you present yourselves to someone [in order to] obey him, you will be the slaves [MET] of the person you obey. Similarly, [if you have yielded yourselves to do the] sinful things [you desire], you are slaves of your sinful desires [PRS], and you will be eternally separated from God. [If you have yielded yourselves] to obey [God], you are slaves of God and you need to [live] righteously.
யதோ ம்ரு’திஜநகம்’ பாபம்’ புண்யஜநகம்’ நிதே³ஸா²சரணஞ்சைதயோர்த்³வயோ ர்யஸ்மிந் ஆஜ்ஞாபாலநார்த²ம்’ ப்⁴ரு’த்யாநிவ ஸ்வாந் ஸமர்பயத², தஸ்யைவ ப்⁴ரு’த்யா ப⁴வத², ஏதத் கிம்’ யூயம்’ ந ஜாநீத²?
17 You were once slaves [to] your sinful [desires]. But you began to sincerely obey the new teaching [MET] that you were taught {that [people] taught you}. I thank God for that.
அபரஞ்ச பூர்வ்வம்’ யூயம்’ பாபஸ்ய ப்⁴ரு’த்யா ஆஸ்தேதி ஸத்யம்’ கிந்து யஸ்யாம்’ ஸி²க்ஷாரூபாயாம்’ மூஷாயாம்’ நிக்ஷிப்தா அப⁴வத தஸ்யா ஆக்ரு’திம்’ மநோபி⁴ ர்லப்³த⁴வந்த இதி காரணாத்³ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய த⁴ந்யவாதோ³ ப⁴வது|
18 [I] also [thank God that] you have been freed {[that] he has freed you} from [being controlled by a desire to] sin, and that you have become [as though you were] slaves [MET] to [living] righteously [MET].
இத்த²ம்’ யூயம்’ பாபஸேவாதோ முக்தா: ஸந்தோ த⁴ர்ம்மஸ்ய ப்⁴ரு’த்யா ஜாதா: |
19 I am illustrating what I say [by talking about slavery] because your human nature prevents you from understanding [spiritual truth] easily. [In the past] you willingly did the immoral and unlawful things that [your minds compelled] your bodies to do [MET], [just like] slaves [do what their masters compel them to do]. As a result, you did even more unlawful things. Now, [you need to] willingly allow [your minds to compel] your bodies to [act] righteously [MET], in order that you will behave in a holy/pure way.
யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸா²ரீரிக்யா து³ர்ப்³ப³லதாயா ஹேதோ ர்மாநவவத்³ அஹம் ஏதத்³ ப்³ரவீமி; புந: புநரத⁴ர்ம்மகரணார்த²ம்’ யத்³வத் பூர்வ்வம்’ பாபாமேத்⁴யயோ ர்ப்⁴ரு’த்யத்வே நிஜாங்கா³நி ஸமார்பயத தத்³வத்³ இதா³நீம்’ ஸாது⁴கர்ம்மகரணார்த²ம்’ த⁴ர்ம்மஸ்ய ப்⁴ரு’த்யத்வே நிஜாங்கா³நி ஸமர்பயத|
20 When you were [like] slaves [because your sinful desires compelled you to do] sinful things [MET], you were not [concerned about behaving] righteously [MET].
யதா³ யூயம்’ பாபஸ்ய ப்⁴ரு’த்யா ஆஸ்த ததா³ த⁴ர்ம்மஸ்ய நாயத்தா ஆஸ்த|
21 Nevertheless, [doing] those things resulted in your being separated from God, so you did not benefit at all from [doing] the [sinful] things that you are now ashamed of. [RHQ]
தர்ஹி யாநி கர்ம்மாணி யூயம் இதா³நீம்’ லஜ்ஜாஜநகாநி பு³த்⁴யத்⁴வே பூர்வ்வம்’ தை ர்யுஷ்மாகம்’ கோ லாப⁴ ஆஸீத்? தேஷாம்’ கர்ம்மணாம்’ ப²லம்’ மரணமேவ|
22 But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
கிந்து ஸாம்ப்ரதம்’ யூயம்’ பாபஸேவாதோ முக்தா: ஸந்த ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ப்⁴ரு’த்யா(அ)ப⁴வத தஸ்மாத்³ யுஷ்மாகம்’ பவித்ரத்வரூபம்’ லப்⁴யம் அநந்தஜீவநரூபஞ்ச ப²லம் ஆஸ்தே| (aiōnios g166)
23 [What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
யத: பாபஸ்ய வேதநம்’ மரணம்’ கிந்த்வஸ்மாகம்’ ப்ரபு⁴ணா யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டேநாநந்தஜீவநம் ஈஸ்²வரத³த்தம்’ பாரிதோஷிகம் ஆஸ்தே| (aiōnios g166)
