< Romans 2 >
1 Therefore you are without excuse, you person, you who judge, for what you judge in another you condemn in yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
he paradūṣaka manuṣya yaḥ kaścana tvaṁ bhavasi tavottaradānāya panthā nāsti yato yasmāt karmmaṇaḥ parastvayā dūṣyate tasmāt tvamapi dūṣyase, yatastaṁ dūṣayannapi tvaṁ tadvad ācarasi|
2 But we know that God's judgment is according to truth when it falls on those who practice such things.
kintvetādṛgācāribhyo yaṁ daṇḍam īśvaro niścinoti sa yathārtha iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
3 But consider this, you person, you who judge those who practice such things although you do the same things. Will you escape from the judgment of God?
ataeva he mānuṣa tvaṁ yādṛgācāriṇo dūṣayasi svayaṁ yadi tādṛgācarasi tarhi tvam īśvaradaṇḍāt palāyituṁ śakṣyasīti kiṁ budhyase?
4 Or do you think so little of the riches of his goodness, his delayed punishment, and his patience? Do you not know that his goodness is meant to lead you to repentance?
aparaṁ tava manasaḥ parivarttanaṁ karttum iśvarasyānugraho bhavati tanna buddhvā tvaṁ kiṁ tadīyānugrahakṣamācirasahiṣṇutvanidhiṁ tucchīkaroṣi?
5 But it is to the extent of your hardness and unrepentant heart that you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, that is, the day of the revelation of God's righteous judgment.
tathā svāntaḥkaraṇasya kaṭhoratvāt khedarāhityācceśvarasya nyāyyavicāraprakāśanasya krodhasya ca dinaṁ yāvat kiṁ svārthaṁ kopaṁ sañcinoṣi?
6 He will pay back to every person according to his actions:
kintu sa ekaikamanujāya tatkarmmānusāreṇa pratiphalaṁ dāsyati;
7 to those who according to consistent, good actions have sought praise, honor, and incorruptibility, he will give eternal life. (aiōnios )
vastutastu ye janā dhairyyaṁ dhṛtvā satkarmma kurvvanto mahimā satkāro'maratvañcaitāni mṛgayante tebhyo'nantāyu rdāsyati| (aiōnios )
8 But to those who are self-seeking, who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness, wrath and fierce anger will come.
aparaṁ ye janāḥ satyadharmmam agṛhītvā viparītadharmmam gṛhlanti tādṛśā virodhijanāḥ kopaṁ krodhañca bhokṣyante|
9 God will bring tribulation and distress on every human soul that has practiced evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
ā yihūdino'nyadeśinaḥ paryyantaṁ yāvantaḥ kukarmmakāriṇaḥ prāṇinaḥ santi te sarvve duḥkhaṁ yātanāñca gamiṣyanti;
10 But praise, honor, and peace will come to everyone who practices good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
kintu ā yihūdino bhinnadeśiparyyantā yāvantaḥ satkarmmakāriṇo lokāḥ santi tān prati mahimā satkāraḥ śāntiśca bhaviṣyanti|
11 For there is no favoritism with God.
īśvarasya vicāre pakṣapāto nāsti|
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as have sinned with respect to the law will be judged by the law.
alabdhavyavasthāśāstrai ryaiḥ pāpāni kṛtāni vyavasthāśāstrālabdhatvānurūpasteṣāṁ vināśo bhaviṣyati; kintu labdhavyavasthāśāstrā ye pāpānyakurvvan vyavasthānusārādeva teṣāṁ vicāro bhaviṣyati|
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be justified.
vyavasthāśrotāra īśvarasya samīpe niṣpāpā bhaviṣyantīti nahi kintu vyavasthācāriṇa eva sapuṇyā bhaviṣyanti|
14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, they are a law to themselves, although they do not have the law.
yato 'labdhavyavasthāśāstrā bhinnadeśīyalokā yadi svabhāvato vyavasthānurūpān ācārān kurvvanti tarhyalabdhaśāstrāḥ santo'pi te sveṣāṁ vyavasthāśāstramiva svayameva bhavanti|
15 By this they show that the actions required by the law are written in their hearts. Their conscience also bears witness to them, and their own thoughts either accuse or defend them to themselves
teṣāṁ manasi sākṣisvarūpe sati teṣāṁ vitarkeṣu ca kadā tān doṣiṇaḥ kadā vā nirdoṣān kṛtavatsu te svāntarlikhitasya vyavasthāśāstrasya pramāṇaṁ svayameva dadati|
16 and also to God. That will happen on the day when God will judge the secrets of all people, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.
yasmin dine mayā prakāśitasya susaṁvādasyānusārād īśvaro yīśukhrīṣṭena mānuṣāṇām antaḥkaraṇānāṁ gūḍhābhiprāyān dhṛtvā vicārayiṣyati tasmin vicāradine tat prakāśiṣyate|
17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rest upon the law and boast in God,
paśya tvaṁ svayaṁ yihūdīti vikhyāto vyavasthopari viśvāsaṁ karoṣi,
18 and know his will and approve of what is excellent because you have been instructed from the law;
īśvaramuddiśya svaṁ ślāghase, tathā vyavasthayā śikṣito bhūtvā tasyābhimataṁ jānāsi, sarvvāsāṁ kathānāṁ sāraṁ viviṁkṣe,
19 and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
aparaṁ jñānasya satyatāyāścākarasvarūpaṁ śāstraṁ mama samīpe vidyata ato 'ndhalokānāṁ mārgadarśayitā
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of little children, and that you have in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth, then how does this affect the way you live your life?
timirasthitalokānāṁ madhye dīptisvarūpo'jñānalokebhyo jñānadātā śiśūnāṁ śikṣayitāhameveti manyase|
21 You who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
parān śikṣayan svayaṁ svaṁ kiṁ na śikṣayasi? vastutaścauryyaniṣedhavyavasthāṁ pracārayan tvaṁ kiṁ svayameva corayasi?
22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hate idols, do you rob temples?
tathā paradāragamanaṁ pratiṣedhan svayaṁ kiṁ paradārān gacchasi? tathā tvaṁ svayaṁ pratimādveṣī san kiṁ mandirasya dravyāṇi harasi?
23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
yastvaṁ vyavasthāṁ ślāghase sa tvaṁ kiṁ vyavasthām avamatya neśvaraṁ sammanyase?
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it has been written.
śāstre yathā likhati "bhinnadeśināṁ samīpe yuṣmākaṁ doṣād īśvarasya nāmno nindā bhavati|"
25 For circumcision indeed benefits you if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
yadi vyavasthāṁ pālayasi tarhi tava tvakchedakriyā saphalā bhavati; yati vyavasthāṁ laṅghase tarhi tava tvakchedo'tvakchedo bhaviṣyati|
26 If, then, the uncircumcised person keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered as circumcision?
yato vyavasthāśāstrādiṣṭadharmmakarmmācārī pumān atvakchedī sannapi kiṁ tvakchedināṁ madhye na gaṇayiṣyate?
27 And will not the one who is naturally uncircumcised condemn you if he keeps the law? This is because you have the written law and circumcision, yet you break the law!
kintu labdhaśāstraśchinnatvak ca tvaṁ yadi vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karoṣi tarhi vyavasthāpālakāḥ svābhāvikācchinnatvaco lokāstvāṁ kiṁ na dūṣayiṣyanti?
28 For he is not a Jew who is merely one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is merely outward in the flesh.
tasmād yo bāhye yihūdī sa yihūdī nahi tathāṅgasya yastvakchedaḥ sa tvakchedo nahi;
29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter. The praise of such a person comes not from people but from God.
kintu yo jana āntariko yihūdī sa eva yihūdī aparañca kevalalikhitayā vyavasthayā na kintu mānasiko yastvakchedo yasya ca praśaṁsā manuṣyebhyo na bhūtvā īśvarād bhavati sa eva tvakchedaḥ|
