Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
īśvarō nijaputramadhi yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhi rdharmmagranthē pratiśrutavān taṁ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ pr̥thakkr̥ta āhūtaḥ prēritaśca prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sēvakō yaḥ paulaḥ
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
sa rōmānagarasthān īśvarapriyān āhūtāṁśca pavitralōkān prati patraṁ likhati|
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
asmākaṁ sa prabhu ryīśuḥ khrīṣṭaḥ śārīrikasambandhēna dāyūdō vaṁśōdbhavaḥ
4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
pavitrasyātmanaḥ sambandhēna cēśvarasya prabhāvavān putra iti śmaśānāt tasyōtthānēna pratipannaṁ|
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
aparaṁ yēṣāṁ madhyē yīśunā khrīṣṭēna yūyamapyāhūtāstē 'nyadēśīyalōkāstasya nāmni viśvasya nidēśagrāhiṇō yathā bhavanti
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
tadabhiprāyēṇa vayaṁ tasmād anugrahaṁ prēritatvapadañca prāptāḥ|
7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
tātēnāsmākam īśvarēṇa prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca pradīyētāṁ|
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
prathamataḥ sarvvasmin jagati yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya prakāśitatvād ahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ nimittaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāma gr̥hlan īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ karōmi|
9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
aparam īśvarasya prasādād bahukālāt paraṁ sāmprataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ yātuṁ kathamapi yat suyōgaṁ prāpnōmi, ētadarthaṁ nirantaraṁ nāmānyuccārayan nijāsu sarvvaprārthanāsu sarvvadā nivēdayāmi,
10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
ētasmin yamahaṁ tatputrīyasusaṁvādapracāraṇēna manasā paricarāmi sa īśvarō mama sākṣī vidyatē|
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
yatō yuṣmākaṁ mama ca viśvāsēna vayam ubhayē yathā śāntiyuktā bhavāma iti kāraṇād
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
yuṣmākaṁ sthairyyakaraṇārthaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kiñcitparamārthadānadānāya yuṣmān sākṣāt karttuṁ madīyā vāñchā|
13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
hē bhrātr̥gaṇa bhinnadēśīyalōkānāṁ madhyē yadvat tadvad yuṣmākaṁ madhyēpi yathā phalaṁ bhuñjē tadabhiprāyēṇa muhurmuhu ryuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ gantum udyatō'haṁ kintu yāvad adya tasmin gamanē mama vighnō jāta iti yūyaṁ yad ajñātāstiṣṭhatha tadaham ucitaṁ na budhyē|
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
ahaṁ sabhyāsabhyānāṁ vidvadavidvatāñca sarvvēṣām r̥ṇī vidyē|
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
ataēva rōmānivāsināṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpē'pi yathāśakti susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum aham udyatōsmi|
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
yataḥ khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādō mama lajjāspadaṁ nahi sa īśvarasya śaktisvarūpaḥ san ā yihūdīyēbhyō 'nyajātīyān yāvat sarvvajātīyānāṁ madhyē yaḥ kaścid tatra viśvasiti tasyaiva trāṇaṁ janayati|
17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
yataḥ pratyayasya samaparimāṇam īśvaradattaṁ puṇyaṁ tatsusaṁvādē prakāśatē| tadadhi dharmmapustakēpi likhitamidaṁ "puṇyavān janō viśvāsēna jīviṣyati"|
18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
ataēva yē mānavāḥ pāpakarmmaṇā satyatāṁ rundhanti tēṣāṁ sarvvasya durācaraṇasyādharmmasya ca viruddhaṁ svargād īśvarasya kōpaḥ prakāśatē|
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
yata īśvaramadhi yadyad jñēyaṁ tad īśvaraḥ svayaṁ tān prati prakāśitavān tasmāt tēṣām agōcaraṁ nahi|
20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
phalatastasyānantaśaktīśvaratvādīnyadr̥śyānyapi sr̥ṣṭikālam ārabhya karmmasu prakāśamānāni dr̥śyantē tasmāt tēṣāṁ dōṣaprakṣālanasya panthā nāsti| (aïdios g126)
21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
aparam īśvaraṁ jñātvāpi tē tam īśvarajñānēna nādriyanta kr̥tajñā vā na jātāḥ; tasmāt tēṣāṁ sarvvē tarkā viphalībhūtāḥ, aparañca tēṣāṁ vivēkaśūnyāni manāṁsi timirē magnāni|
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
tē svān jñāninō jñātvā jñānahīnā abhavan
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
anaśvarasyēśvarasya gauravaṁ vihāya naśvaramanuṣyapaśupakṣyurōgāmiprabhr̥tērākr̥tiviśiṣṭapratimāstairāśritāḥ|
24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
itthaṁ ta īśvarasya satyatāṁ vihāya mr̥ṣāmatam āśritavantaḥ saccidānandaṁ sr̥ṣṭikarttāraṁ tyaktvā sr̥ṣṭavastunaḥ pūjāṁ sēvāñca kr̥tavantaḥ; (aiōn g165)
25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
iti hētōrīśvarastān kukriyāyāṁ samarpya nijanijakucintābhilāṣābhyāṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ parasparam apamānitaṁ karttum adadāt|
26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
īśvarēṇa tēṣu kvabhilāṣē samarpitēṣu tēṣāṁ yōṣitaḥ svābhāvikācaraṇam apahāya viparītakr̥tyē prāvarttanta;
27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
tathā puruṣā api svābhāvikayōṣitsaṅgamaṁ vihāya parasparaṁ kāmakr̥śānunā dagdhāḥ santaḥ pumāṁsaḥ puṁbhiḥ sākaṁ kukr̥tyē samāsajya nijanijabhrāntēḥ samucitaṁ phalam alabhanta|
28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
tē svēṣāṁ manaḥsvīśvarāya sthānaṁ dātum anicchukāstatō hētōrīśvarastān prati duṣṭamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvañca dattavān|
29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
ataēva tē sarvvē 'nyāyō vyabhicārō duṣṭatvaṁ lōbhō jighāṁsā īrṣyā vadhō vivādaścāturī kumatirityādibhi rduṣkarmmabhiḥ paripūrṇāḥ santaḥ
30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
karṇējapā apavādina īśvaradvēṣakā hiṁsakā ahaṅkāriṇa ātmaślāghinaḥ kukarmmōtpādakāḥ pitrōrājñālaṅghakā
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
avicārakā niyamalaṅghinaḥ snēharahitā atidvēṣiṇō nirdayāśca jātāḥ|
32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
yē janā ētādr̥śaṁ karmma kurvvanti taēva mr̥tiyōgyā īśvarasya vicāramīdr̥śaṁ jñātvāpi ta ētādr̥śaṁ karmma svayaṁ kurvvanti kēvalamiti nahi kintu tādr̥śakarmmakāriṣu lōkēṣvapi prīyantē|
