1 hE paradUSaka manuSya yaH kazcana tvaM bhavasi tavOttaradAnAya panthA nAsti yatO yasmAt karmmaNaH parastvayA dUSyatE tasmAt tvamapi dUSyasE, yatastaM dUSayannapi tvaM tadvad Acarasi|

Therefore you are without excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

2 kintvEtAdRgAcAribhyO yaM daNPam IzvarO nizcinOti sa yathArtha iti vayaM jAnImaH|

Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.

3 ataEva hE mAnuSa tvaM yAdRgAcAriNO dUSayasi svayaM yadi tAdRgAcarasi tarhi tvam IzvaradaNPAt palAyituM zakSyasIti kiM budhyasE?

And do you think this, you who judge those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 aparaM tava manasaH parivarttanaM karttum izvarasyAnugrahO bhavati tanna buddhvA tvaM kiM tadIyAnugrahakSamAcirasahiSNutvanidhiM tucchIkarOSi?

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 tathA svAntaHkaraNasya kaThOratvAt khEdarAhityAccEzvarasya nyAyyavicAraprakAzanasya krOdhasya ca dinaM yAvat kiM svArthaM kOpaM sanjcinOSi?

But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 kintu sa EkaikamanujAya tatkarmmAnusArENa pratiphalaM dAsyati;

who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

7 vastutastu yE janA dhairyyaM dhRtvA satkarmma kurvvantO mahimA satkArO'maratvanjcaitAni mRgayantE tEbhyO'nantAyu rdAsyati| (aiōnios g166)

to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

8 aparaM yE janAH satyadharmmam agRhItvA viparItadharmmam gRhlanti tAdRzA virOdhijanAH kOpaM krOdhanjca bhOkSyantE|

But to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,

9 A yihUdinO'nyadEzinaH paryyantaM yAvantaH kukarmmakAriNaH prANinaH santi tE sarvvE duHkhaM yAtanAnjca gamiSyanti;

affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

10 kintu A yihUdinO bhinnadEziparyyantA yAvantaH satkarmmakAriNO lOkAH santi tAn prati mahimA satkAraH zAntizca bhaviSyanti|

But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 Izvarasya vicArE pakSapAtO nAsti|

For there is no partiality with God.

12 alabdhavyavasthAzAstrai ryaiH pApAni kRtAni vyavasthAzAstrAlabdhatvAnurUpastESAM vinAzO bhaviSyati; kintu labdhavyavasthAzAstrA yE pApAnyakurvvan vyavasthAnusArAdEva tESAM vicArO bhaviSyati|

For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

13 vyavasthAzrOtAra Izvarasya samIpE niSpApA bhaviSyantIti nahi kintu vyavasthAcAriNa Eva sapuNyA bhaviSyanti|

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

14 yatO 'labdhavyavasthAzAstrA bhinnadEzIyalOkA yadi svabhAvatO vyavasthAnurUpAn AcArAn kurvvanti tarhyalabdhazAstrAH santO'pi tE svESAM vyavasthAzAstramiva svayamEva bhavanti|

For when the non-Jews who do not have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,

15 tESAM manasi sAkSisvarUpE sati tESAM vitarkESu ca kadA tAn dOSiNaH kadA vA nirdOSAn kRtavatsu tE svAntarlikhitasya vyavasthAzAstrasya pramANaM svayamEva dadati|

since they show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them,

16 yasmin dinE mayA prakAzitasya susaMvAdasyAnusArAd IzvarO yIzukhrISTEna mAnuSANAm antaHkaraNAnAM gUPhAbhiprAyAn dhRtvA vicArayiSyati tasmin vicAradinE tat prakAziSyatE|

in the day when God will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Meshikha Yeshua.

17 pazya tvaM svayaM yihUdIti vikhyAtO vyavasthOpari vizvAsaM karOSi,

But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,

18 Izvaramuddizya svaM zlAghasE, tathA vyavasthayA zikSitO bhUtvA tasyAbhimataM jAnAsi, sarvvAsAM kathAnAM sAraM viviMkSE,

and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

19 aparaM jnjAnasya satyatAyAzcAkarasvarUpaM zAstraM mama samIpE vidyata atO 'ndhalOkAnAM mArgadarzayitA

and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 timirasthitalOkAnAM madhyE dIptisvarUpO'jnjAnalOkEbhyO jnjAnadAtA zizUnAM zikSayitAhamEvEti manyasE|

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

21 parAn zikSayan svayaM svaM kiM na zikSayasi? vastutazcauryyaniSEdhavyavasthAM pracArayan tvaM kiM svayamEva cOrayasi?

You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22 tathA paradAragamanaM pratiSEdhan svayaM kiM paradArAn gacchasi? tathA tvaM svayaM pratimAdvESI san kiM mandirasya dravyANi harasi?

You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

23 yastvaM vyavasthAM zlAghasE sa tvaM kiM vyavasthAm avamatya nEzvaraM sammanyasE?

You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?

24 zAstrE yathA likhati "bhinnadEzinAM samIpE yuSmAkaM dOSAd Izvarasya nAmnO nindA bhavati|"

For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just as it is written.

25 yadi vyavasthAM pAlayasi tarhi tava tvakchEdakriyA saphalA bhavati; yati vyavasthAM lagghasE tarhi tava tvakchEdO'tvakchEdO bhaviSyati|

For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 yatO vyavasthAzAstrAdiSTadharmmakarmmAcArI pumAn atvakchEdI sannapi kiM tvakchEdinAM madhyE na gaNayiSyatE?

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

27 kintu labdhazAstrazchinnatvak ca tvaM yadi vyavasthAlagghanaM karOSi tarhi vyavasthApAlakAH svAbhAvikAcchinnatvacO lOkAstvAM kiM na dUSayiSyanti?

Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

28 tasmAd yO bAhyE yihUdI sa yihUdI nahi tathAggasya yastvakchEdaH sa tvakchEdO nahi;

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

29 kintu yO jana AntarikO yihUdI sa Eva yihUdI aparanjca kEvalalikhitayA vyavasthayA na kintu mAnasikO yastvakchEdO yasya ca prazaMsA manuSyEbhyO na bhUtvA IzvarAd bhavati sa Eva tvakchEdaH|

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Rukha, not in the letter; whose praise is not from people, but from God.
