Romans 1
1 [I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].
ஈஸ்²வரோ நிஜபுத்ரமதி⁴ யம்’ ஸுஸம்’வாத³ம்’ ப⁴விஷ்யத்³வாதி³பி⁴ ர்த⁴ர்ம்மக்³ரந்தே² ப்ரதிஸ்²ருதவாந் தம்’ ஸுஸம்’வாத³ம்’ ப்ரசாரயிதும்’ ப்ரு’த²க்க்ரு’த ஆஹூத: ப்ரேரிதஸ்²ச ப்ரபோ⁴ ர்யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டஸ்ய ஸேவகோ ய: பௌல:
2 Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.
ஸ ரோமாநக³ரஸ்தா²ந் ஈஸ்²வரப்ரியாந் ஆஹூதாம்’ஸ்²ச பவித்ரலோகாந் ப்ரதி பத்ரம்’ லிக²தி|
3 This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.
அஸ்மாகம்’ ஸ ப்ரபு⁴ ர்யீஸு²: க்²ரீஷ்ட: ஸா²ரீரிகஸம்ப³ந்தே⁴ந தா³யூதோ³ வம்’ஸோ²த்³ப⁴வ:
4 As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.
பவித்ரஸ்யாத்மந: ஸம்ப³ந்தே⁴ந சேஸ்²வரஸ்ய ப்ரபா⁴வவாந் புத்ர இதி ஸ்²மஸா²நாத் தஸ்யோத்தா²நேந ப்ரதிபந்நம்’|
5 He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].
அபரம்’ யேஷாம்’ மத்⁴யே யீஸு²நா க்²ரீஷ்டேந யூயமப்யாஹூதாஸ்தே (அ)ந்யதே³ஸீ²யலோகாஸ்தஸ்ய நாம்நி விஸ்²வஸ்ய நிதே³ஸ²க்³ராஹிணோ யதா² ப⁴வந்தி
6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.
தத³பி⁴ப்ராயேண வயம்’ தஸ்மாத்³ அநுக்³ரஹம்’ ப்ரேரிதத்வபத³ஞ்ச ப்ராப்தா: |
7 [I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
தாதேநாஸ்மாகம் ஈஸ்²வரேண ப்ரபு⁴ணா யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டேந ச யுஷ்மப்⁴யம் அநுக்³ரஹ: ஸா²ந்திஸ்²ச ப்ரதீ³யேதாம்’|
8 As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.
ப்ரத²மத: ஸர்வ்வஸ்மிந் ஜக³தி யுஷ்மாகம்’ விஸ்²வாஸஸ்ய ப்ரகாஸி²தத்வாத்³ அஹம்’ யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸர்வ்வேஷாம்’ நிமித்தம்’ யீஸு²க்²ரீஷ்டஸ்ய நாம க்³ரு’ஹ்லந் ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய த⁴ந்யவாத³ம்’ கரோமி|
9 God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].
அபரம் ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ப்ரஸாதா³த்³ ப³ஹுகாலாத் பரம்’ ஸாம்ப்ரதம்’ யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸமீபம்’ யாதும்’ கத²மபி யத் ஸுயோக³ம்’ ப்ராப்நோமி, ஏதத³ர்த²ம்’ நிரந்தரம்’ நாமாந்யுச்சாரயந் நிஜாஸு ஸர்வ்வப்ரார்த²நாஸு ஸர்வ்வதா³ நிவேத³யாமி,
10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.
ஏதஸ்மிந் யமஹம்’ தத்புத்ரீயஸுஸம்’வாத³ப்ரசாரணேந மநஸா பரிசராமி ஸ ஈஸ்²வரோ மம ஸாக்ஷீ வித்³யதே|
11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].
யதோ யுஷ்மாகம்’ மம ச விஸ்²வாஸேந வயம் உப⁴யே யதா² ஸா²ந்தியுக்தா ப⁴வாம இதி காரணாத்³
12 I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].
யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸ்தை²ர்ய்யகரணார்த²ம்’ யுஷ்மப்⁴யம்’ கிஞ்சித்பரமார்த²தா³நதா³நாய யுஷ்மாந் ஸாக்ஷாத் கர்த்தும்’ மதீ³யா வாஞ்சா²|
13 My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].
ஹே ப்⁴ராத்ரு’க³ண பி⁴ந்நதே³ஸீ²யலோகாநாம்’ மத்⁴யே யத்³வத் தத்³வத்³ யுஷ்மாகம்’ மத்⁴யேபி யதா² ப²லம்’ பு⁴ஞ்ஜே தத³பி⁴ப்ராயேண முஹுர்முஹு ர்யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸமீபம்’ க³ந்தும் உத்³யதோ(அ)ஹம்’ கிந்து யாவத்³ அத்³ய தஸ்மிந் க³மநே மம விக்⁴நோ ஜாத இதி யூயம்’ யத்³ அஜ்ஞாதாஸ்திஷ்ட²த² தத³ஹம் உசிதம்’ ந பு³த்⁴யே|
14 I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.
அஹம்’ ஸப்⁴யாஸப்⁴யாநாம்’ வித்³வத³வித்³வதாஞ்ச ஸர்வ்வேஷாம் ரு’ணீ வித்³யே|
15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.
அதஏவ ரோமாநிவாஸிநாம்’ யுஷ்மாகம்’ ஸமீபே(அ)பி யதா²ஸ²க்தி ஸுஸம்’வாத³ம்’ ப்ரசாரயிதும் அஹம் உத்³யதோஸ்மி|
16 [That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.
யத: க்²ரீஷ்டஸ்ய ஸுஸம்’வாதோ³ மம லஜ்ஜாஸ்பத³ம்’ நஹி ஸ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸ²க்திஸ்வரூப: ஸந் ஆ யிஹூதீ³யேப்⁴யோ (அ)ந்யஜாதீயாந் யாவத் ஸர்வ்வஜாதீயாநாம்’ மத்⁴யே ய: கஸ்²சித்³ தத்ர விஸ்²வஸிதி தஸ்யைவ த்ராணம்’ ஜநயதி|
17 By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”
யத: ப்ரத்யயஸ்ய ஸமபரிமாணம் ஈஸ்²வரத³த்தம்’ புண்யம்’ தத்ஸுஸம்’வாதே³ ப்ரகாஸ²தே| தத³தி⁴ த⁴ர்ம்மபுஸ்தகேபி லிகி²தமித³ம்’ "புண்யவாந் ஜநோ விஸ்²வாஸேந ஜீவிஷ்யதி"|
18 From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].
அதஏவ யே மாநவா: பாபகர்ம்மணா ஸத்யதாம்’ ருந்த⁴ந்தி தேஷாம்’ ஸர்வ்வஸ்ய து³ராசரணஸ்யாத⁴ர்ம்மஸ்ய ச விருத்³த⁴ம்’ ஸ்வர்கா³த்³ ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய கோப: ப்ரகாஸ²தே|
19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].
யத ஈஸ்²வரமதி⁴ யத்³யத்³ ஜ்ஞேயம்’ தத்³ ஈஸ்²வர: ஸ்வயம்’ தாந் ப்ரதி ப்ரகாஸி²தவாந் தஸ்மாத் தேஷாம் அகோ³சரம்’ நஹி|
20 [People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)
ப²லதஸ்தஸ்யாநந்தஸ²க்தீஸ்²வரத்வாதீ³ந்யத்³ரு’ஸ்²யாந்யபி ஸ்ரு’ஷ்டிகாலம் ஆரப்⁴ய கர்ம்மஸு ப்ரகாஸ²மாநாநி த்³ரு’ஸ்²யந்தே தஸ்மாத் தேஷாம்’ தோ³ஷப்ரக்ஷாலநஸ்ய பந்தா² நாஸ்தி| (aïdios g126)
21 Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].
அபரம் ஈஸ்²வரம்’ ஜ்ஞாத்வாபி தே தம் ஈஸ்²வரஜ்ஞாநேந நாத்³ரியந்த க்ரு’தஜ்ஞா வா ந ஜாதா: ; தஸ்மாத் தேஷாம்’ ஸர்வ்வே தர்கா விப²லீபூ⁴தா: , அபரஞ்ச தேஷாம்’ விவேகஸூ²ந்யாநி மநாம்’ஸி திமிரே மக்³நாநி|
22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,
தே ஸ்வாந் ஜ்ஞாநிநோ ஜ்ஞாத்வா ஜ்ஞாநஹீநா அப⁴வந்
23 and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.
அநஸ்²வரஸ்யேஸ்²வரஸ்ய கௌ³ரவம்’ விஹாய நஸ்²வரமநுஷ்யபஸு²பக்ஷ்யுரோகா³மிப்ரப்⁴ரு’தேராக்ரு’திவிஸி²ஷ்டப்ரதிமாஸ்தைராஸ்²ரிதா: |
24 So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].
இத்த²ம்’ த ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸத்யதாம்’ விஹாய ம்ரு’ஷாமதம் ஆஸ்²ரிதவந்த: ஸச்சிதா³நந்த³ம்’ ஸ்ரு’ஷ்டிகர்த்தாரம்’ த்யக்த்வா ஸ்ரு’ஷ்டவஸ்துந: பூஜாம்’ ஸேவாஞ்ச க்ரு’தவந்த: ; (aiōn g165)
25 Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)
இதி ஹேதோரீஸ்²வரஸ்தாந் குக்ரியாயாம்’ ஸமர்ப்ய நிஜநிஜகுசிந்தாபி⁴லாஷாப்⁴யாம்’ ஸ்வம்’ ஸ்வம்’ ஸ²ரீரம்’ பரஸ்பரம் அபமாநிதம்’ கர்த்தும் அத³தா³த்|
26 So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].
ஈஸ்²வரேண தேஷு க்வபி⁴லாஷே ஸமர்பிதேஷு தேஷாம்’ யோஷித: ஸ்வாபா⁴விகாசரணம் அபஹாய விபரீதக்ரு’த்யே ப்ராவர்த்தந்த;
27 Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].

28 Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.
தே ஸ்வேஷாம்’ மந: ஸ்வீஸ்²வராய ஸ்தா²நம்’ தா³தும் அநிச்சு²காஸ்ததோ ஹேதோரீஸ்²வரஸ்தாந் ப்ரதி து³ஷ்டமநஸ்கத்வம் அவிஹிதக்ரியத்வஞ்ச த³த்தவாந்|
29 They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].

30 [Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.

31 [Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].
அவிசாரகா நியமலங்கி⁴ந: ஸ்நேஹரஹிதா அதித்³வேஷிணோ நிர்த³யாஸ்²ச ஜாதா: |
32 Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.
