< Romans 6 >
1 To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
prabhūtarūpēṇa yad anugrahaḥ prakāśatē tadarthaṁ pāpē tiṣṭhāma iti vākyaṁ kiṁ vayaṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ? tanna bhavatu|
2 No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?
pāpaṁ prati mr̥tā vayaṁ punastasmin katham jīviṣyāmaḥ?
3 And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
vayaṁ yāvantō lōkā yīśukhrīṣṭē majjitā abhavāma tāvanta ēva tasya maraṇē majjitā iti kiṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha?
4 Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
tatō yathā pituḥ parākramēṇa śmaśānāt khrīṣṭa utthāpitastathā vayamapi yat nūtanajīvina ivācarāmastadarthaṁ majjanēna tēna sārddhaṁ mr̥tyurūpē śmaśānē saṁsthāpitāḥ|
5 For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
aparaṁ vayaṁ yadi tēna saṁyuktāḥ santaḥ sa iva maraṇabhāginō jātāstarhi sa ivōtthānabhāginō'pi bhaviṣyāmaḥ|
6 This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
vayaṁ yat pāpasya dāsāḥ puna rna bhavāmastadartham asmākaṁ pāparūpaśarīrasya vināśārtham asmākaṁ purātanapuruṣastēna sākaṁ kruśē'hanyatēti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
7 for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
yō hataḥ sa pāpāt mukta ēva|
8 But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;
ataēva yadi vayaṁ khrīṣṭēna sārddham ahanyāmahi tarhi punarapi tēna sahitā jīviṣyāma ityatrāsmākaṁ viśvāsō vidyatē|
9 because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
yataḥ śmaśānād utthāpitaḥ khrīṣṭō puna rna mriyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| tasmin kōpyadhikārō mr̥tyō rnāsti|
10 Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
aparañca sa yad amriyata tēnaikadā pāpam uddiśyāmriyata, yacca jīvati tēnēśvaram uddiśya jīvati;
11 In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
tadvad yūyamapi svān pāpam uddiśya mr̥tān asmākaṁ prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēnēśvaram uddiśya jīvantō jānīta|
12 Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
aparañca kutsitābhilāṣān pūrayituṁ yuṣmākaṁ martyadēhēṣu pāpam ādhipatyaṁ na karōtu|
13 and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.
aparaṁ svaṁ svam aṅgam adharmmasyāstraṁ kr̥tvā pāpasēvāyāṁ na samarpayata, kintu śmaśānād utthitāniva svān īśvarē samarpayata svānyaṅgāni ca dharmmāstrasvarūpāṇīśvaram uddiśya samarpayata|
14 For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
yuṣmākam upari pāpasyādhipatyaṁ puna rna bhaviṣyati, yasmād yūyaṁ vyavasthāyā anāyattā anugrahasya cāyattā abhavata|
15 Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
kintu vayaṁ vyavasthāyā anāyattā anugrahasya cāyattā abhavāma, iti kāraṇāt kiṁ pāpaṁ kariṣyāmaḥ? tanna bhavatu|
16 Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?
yatō mr̥tijanakaṁ pāpaṁ puṇyajanakaṁ nidēśācaraṇañcaitayōrdvayō ryasmin ājñāpālanārthaṁ bhr̥tyāniva svān samarpayatha, tasyaiva bhr̥tyā bhavatha, ētat kiṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha?
17 But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
aparañca pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ pāpasya bhr̥tyā āstēti satyaṁ kintu yasyāṁ śikṣārūpāyāṁ mūṣāyāṁ nikṣiptā abhavata tasyā ākr̥tiṁ manōbhi rlabdhavanta iti kāraṇād īśvarasya dhanyavādō bhavatu|
18 You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness--
itthaṁ yūyaṁ pāpasēvātō muktāḥ santō dharmmasya bhr̥tyā jātāḥ|
19 your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.
yuṣmākaṁ śārīrikyā durbbalatāyā hētō rmānavavad aham ētad bravīmi; punaḥ punaradharmmakaraṇārthaṁ yadvat pūrvvaṁ pāpāmēdhyayō rbhr̥tyatvē nijāṅgāni samārpayata tadvad idānīṁ sādhukarmmakaraṇārthaṁ dharmmasya bhr̥tyatvē nijāṅgāni samarpayata|
20 For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.
yadā yūyaṁ pāpasya bhr̥tyā āsta tadā dharmmasya nāyattā āsta|
21 At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.
tarhi yāni karmmāṇi yūyam idānīṁ lajjājanakāni budhyadhvē pūrvvaṁ tai ryuṣmākaṁ kō lābha āsīt? tēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ phalaṁ maraṇamēva|
22 But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result. (aiōnios )
kintu sāmprataṁ yūyaṁ pāpasēvātō muktāḥ santa īśvarasya bhr̥tyā'bhavata tasmād yuṣmākaṁ pavitratvarūpaṁ labhyam anantajīvanarūpañca phalam āstē| (aiōnios )
23 For the wages paid by Sin are death; but God's free gift is the Life of the Ages bestowed upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios )
yataḥ pāpasya vētanaṁ maraṇaṁ kintvasmākaṁ prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēnānantajīvanam īśvaradattaṁ pāritōṣikam āstē| (aiōnios )
