romiṇaḥ 2

1 he paradūṣaka manuṣya yaḥ kaścana tvaṁ bhavasi tavottaradānāya panthā nāsti yato yasmāt karmmaṇaḥ parastvayā dūṣyate tasmāt tvamapi dūṣyase, yatastaṁ dūṣayannapi tvaṁ tadvad ācarasi|

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 kintvetādṛgācāribhyo yaṁ daṇḍam īśvaro niścinoti sa yathārtha iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 ataeva he mānuṣa tvaṁ yādṛgācāriṇo dūṣayasi svayaṁ yadi tādṛgācarasi tarhi tvam īśvaradaṇḍāt palāyituṁ śakṣyasīti kiṁ budhyase?

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 aparaṁ tava manasaḥ parivarttanaṁ karttum iśvarasyānugraho bhavati tanna buddhvā tvaṁ kiṁ tadīyānugrahakṣamācirasahiṣṇutvanidhiṁ tucchīkaroṣi?

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5 tathā svāntaḥkaraṇasya kaṭhoratvāt khedarāhityācceśvarasya nyāyyavicāraprakāśanasya krodhasya ca dinaṁ yāvat kiṁ svārthaṁ kopaṁ sañcinoṣi?

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 kintu sa ekaikamanujāya tatkarmmānusāreṇa pratiphalaṁ dāsyati;

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 vastutastu ye janā dhairyyaṁ dhṛtvā satkarmma kurvvanto mahimā satkāro'maratvañcaitāni mṛgayante tebhyo'nantāyu rdāsyati| (aiōnios g166)

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 aparaṁ ye janāḥ satyadharmmam agṛhītvā viparītadharmmam gṛhlanti tādṛśā virodhijanāḥ kopaṁ krodhañca bhokṣyante|

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9 ā yihūdino'nyadeśinaḥ paryyantaṁ yāvantaḥ kukarmmakāriṇaḥ prāṇinaḥ santi te sarvve duḥkhaṁ yātanāñca gamiṣyanti;

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 kintu ā yihūdino bhinnadeśiparyyantā yāvantaḥ satkarmmakāriṇo lokāḥ santi tān prati mahimā satkāraḥ śāntiśca bhaviṣyanti|

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 īśvarasya vicāre pakṣapāto nāsti|

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 alabdhavyavasthāśāstrai ryaiḥ pāpāni kṛtāni vyavasthāśāstrālabdhatvānurūpasteṣāṁ vināśo bhaviṣyati; kintu labdhavyavasthāśāstrā ye pāpānyakurvvan vyavasthānusārādeva teṣāṁ vicāro bhaviṣyati|

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

13 vyavasthāśrotāra īśvarasya samīpe niṣpāpā bhaviṣyantīti nahi kintu vyavasthācāriṇa eva sapuṇyā bhaviṣyanti|

( For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 yato 'labdhavyavasthāśāstrā bhinnadeśīyalokā yadi svabhāvato vyavasthānurūpān ācārān kurvvanti tarhyalabdhaśāstrāḥ santo'pi te sveṣāṁ vyavasthāśāstramiva svayameva bhavanti|

For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 teṣāṁ manasi sākṣisvarūpe sati teṣāṁ vitarkeṣu ca kadā tān doṣiṇaḥ kadā vā nirdoṣān kṛtavatsu te svāntarlikhitasya vyavasthāśāstrasya pramāṇaṁ svayameva dadati|

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )

16 yasmin dine mayā prakāśitasya susaṁvādasyānusārād īśvaro yīśukhrīṣṭena mānuṣāṇām antaḥkaraṇānāṁ gūḍhābhiprāyān dhṛtvā vicārayiṣyati tasmin vicāradine tat prakāśiṣyate|

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

17 paśya tvaṁ svayaṁ yihūdīti vikhyāto vyavasthopari viśvāsaṁ karoṣi,

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

18 īśvaramuddiśya svaṁ ślāghase, tathā vyavasthayā śikṣito bhūtvā tasyābhimataṁ jānāsi, sarvvāsāṁ kathānāṁ sāraṁ viviṁkṣe,

And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 aparaṁ jñānasya satyatāyāścākarasvarūpaṁ śāstraṁ mama samīpe vidyata ato 'ndhalokānāṁ mārgadarśayitā

And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

20 timirasthitalokānāṁ madhye dīptisvarūpo'jñānalokebhyo jñānadātā śiśūnāṁ śikṣayitāhameveti manyase|

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21 parān śikṣayan svayaṁ svaṁ kiṁ na śikṣayasi? vastutaścauryyaniṣedhavyavasthāṁ pracārayan tvaṁ kiṁ svayameva corayasi?

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

22 tathā paradāragamanaṁ pratiṣedhan svayaṁ kiṁ paradārān gacchasi? tathā tvaṁ svayaṁ pratimādveṣī san kiṁ mandirasya dravyāṇi harasi?

Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 yastvaṁ vyavasthāṁ ślāghase sa tvaṁ kiṁ vyavasthām avamatya neśvaraṁ sammanyase?

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

24 śāstre yathā likhati "bhinnadeśināṁ samīpe yuṣmākaṁ doṣād īśvarasya nāmno nindā bhavati|"

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25 yadi vyavasthāṁ pālayasi tarhi tava tvakchedakriyā saphalā bhavati; yati vyavasthāṁ laṅghase tarhi tava tvakchedo'tvakchedo bhaviṣyati|

For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 yato vyavasthāśāstrādiṣṭadharmmakarmmācārī pumān atvakchedī sannapi kiṁ tvakchedināṁ madhye na gaṇayiṣyate?

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 kintu labdhaśāstraśchinnatvak ca tvaṁ yadi vyavasthālaṅghanaṁ karoṣi tarhi vyavasthāpālakāḥ svābhāvikācchinnatvaco lokāstvāṁ kiṁ na dūṣayiṣyanti?

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

28 tasmād yo bāhye yihūdī sa yihūdī nahi tathāṅgasya yastvakchedaḥ sa tvakchedo nahi;

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

29 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|

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
