rōmiṇaḥ 15

1 balavadbhirasmābhi rdurbbalānāṁ daurbbalyaṁ sōḍhavyaṁ na ca svēṣām iṣṭācāra ācaritavyaḥ|

And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;

2 asmākam ēkaikō janaḥ svasamīpavāsinō hitārthaṁ niṣṭhārthañca tasyaivēṣṭācāram ācaratu|

for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,

3 yataḥ khrīṣṭō'pi nijēṣṭācāraṁ nācaritavān, yathā likhitam āstē, tvannindakagaṇasyaiva nindābhi rninditō'smyahaṁ|

for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;

4 aparañca vayaṁ yat sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayō rjanakēna śāstrēṇa pratyāśāṁ labhēmahi tannimittaṁ pūrvvakālē likhitāni sarvvavacanānyasmākam upadēśārthamēva lilikhirē|

for as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

5 sahiṣṇutāsāntvanayōrākarō ya īśvaraḥ sa ēvaṁ karōtu yat prabhu ryīśukhrīṣṭa iva yuṣmākam ēkajanō'nyajanēna sārddhaṁ manasa aikyam ācarēt;

And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6 yūyañca sarvva ēkacittā bhūtvā mukhaikēnēvāsmatprabhuyīśukhrīṣṭasya piturīśvarasya guṇān kīrttayēta|

that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;

7 aparam īśvarasya mahimnaḥ prakāśārthaṁ khrīṣṭō yathā yuṣmān pratyagr̥hlāt tathā yuṣmākamapyēkō janō'nyajanaṁ pratigr̥hlātu|

for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.

8 yathā likhitam āstē, atō'haṁ sammukhē tiṣṭhan bhinnadēśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni parēśvara||

And I say Jesus Christ to have become a servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

9 tasya dayālutvācca bhinnajātīyā yad īśvarasya guṇān kīrttayēyustadarthaṁ yīśuḥ khrīṣṭastvakchēdaniyamasya nighnō'bhavad ityahaṁ vadāmi| yathā likhitam āstē, atō'haṁ sammukhē tiṣṭhan bhinnadēśanivāsināṁ| stuvaṁstvāṁ parigāsyāmi tava nāmni parēśvara||

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it has been written: “Because of this I will confess to You among nations, and to Your Name I will sing praise”;

10 aparamapi likhitam āstē, hē anyajātayō yūyaṁ samaṁ nandata tajjanaiḥ|

and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;

11 punaśca likhitam āstē, hē sarvvadēśinō yūyaṁ dhanyaṁ brūta parēśvaraṁ| hē tadīyanarā yūyaṁ kurudhvaṁ tatpraśaṁsanaṁ||

and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;

12 apara yīśāyiyō'pi lilēkha, yīśayasya tu yat mūlaṁ tat prakāśiṣyatē tadā| sarvvajātīyanr̥ṇāñca śāsakaḥ samudēṣyati| tatrānyadēśilōkaiśca pratyāśā prakariṣyatē||

and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;

13 ataēva yūyaṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvād yat sampūrṇāṁ pratyāśāṁ lapsyadhvē tadarthaṁ tatpratyāśājanaka īśvaraḥ pratyayēna yuṣmān śāntyānandābhyāṁ sampūrṇān karōtu|

and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

14 hē bhrātarō yūyaṁ sadbhāvayuktāḥ sarvvaprakārēṇa jñānēna ca sampūrṇāḥ parasparōpadēśē ca tatparā ityahaṁ niścitaṁ jānāmi,

And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;

15 tathāpyahaṁ yat pragalbhatarō bhavan yuṣmān prabōdhayāmi tasyaikaṁ kāraṇamidaṁ|

and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,

16 bhinnajātīyāḥ pavitrēṇātmanā pāvitanaivēdyarūpā bhūtvā yad grāhyā bhavēyustannimittamaham īśvarasya susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ bhinnajātīyānāṁ madhyē yīśukhrīṣṭasya sēvakatvaṁ dānaṁ īśvarāt labdhavānasmi|

for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

17 īśvaraṁ prati yīśukhrīṣṭēna mama ślāghākaraṇasya kāraṇam āstē|

I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,

18 bhinnadēśina ājñāgrāhiṇaḥ karttuṁ khrīṣṭō vākyēna kriyayā ca, āścaryyalakṣaṇaiścitrakriyābhiḥ pavitrasyātmanaḥ prabhāvēna ca yāni karmmāṇi mayā sādhitavān,

for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,

19 kēvalaṁ tānyēva vinānyasya kasyacit karmmaṇō varṇanāṁ karttuṁ pragalbhō na bhavāmi| tasmāt ā yirūśālama illūrikaṁ yāvat sarvvatra khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ prācārayaṁ|

in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;

20 anyēna nicitāyāṁ bhittāvahaṁ yanna nicinōmi tannimittaṁ yatra yatra sthānē khrīṣṭasya nāma kadāpi kēnāpi na jñāpitaṁ tatra tatra susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum ahaṁ yatē|

and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—

21 yādr̥śaṁ likhitam āstē, yai rvārttā tasya na prāptā darśanaṁ taistu lapsyatē| yaiśca naiva śrutaṁ kiñcit bōddhuṁ śakṣyanti tē janāḥ||

but according as it has been written: “To whom it was not told concerning Him, they will see; and they who have not heard, will understand.”

22 tasmād yuṣmatsamīpagamanād ahaṁ muhurmuhu rnivāritō'bhavaṁ|

For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,

23 kintvidānīm atra pradēśēṣu mayā na gataṁ sthānaṁ kimapi nāvaśiṣyatē yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gantuṁ bahuvatsarānārabhya māmakīnākāṅkṣā ca vidyata iti hētōḥ

and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,

24 spāniyādēśagamanakālē'haṁ yuṣmanmadhyēna gacchan yuṣmān ālōkiṣyē, tataḥ paraṁ yuṣmatsambhāṣaṇēna tr̥ptiṁ parilabhya taddēśagamanārthaṁ yuṣmābhi rvisarjayiṣyē, īdr̥śī madīyā pratyāśā vidyatē|

when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.

25 kintu sāmprataṁ pavitralōkānāṁ sēvanāya yirūśālamnagaraṁ vrajāmi|

And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;

26 yatō yirūśālamasthapavitralōkānāṁ madhyē yē daridrā arthaviśrāṇanēna tānupakarttuṁ mākidaniyādēśīyā ākhāyādēśīyāśca lōkā aicchan|

for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;

27 ēṣā tēṣāṁ sadicchā yatastē tēṣām r̥ṇinaḥ santi yatō hētō rbhinnajātīyā yēṣāṁ paramārthasyāṁśinō jātā aihikaviṣayē tēṣāmupakārastaiḥ karttavyaḥ|

for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.

28 atō mayā tat karmma sādhayitvā tasmin phalē tēbhyaḥ samarpitē yuṣmanmadhyēna spāniyādēśō gamiṣyatē|

This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;

29 yuṣmatsamīpē mamāgamanasamayē khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādasya pūrṇavarēṇa sambalitaḥ san aham āgamiṣyāmi iti mayā jñāyatē|

and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.

30 hē bhrātr̥gaṇa prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya nāmnā pavitrasyātmānaḥ prēmnā ca vinayē'haṁ

And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,

31 yihūdādēśasthānām aviśvāsilōkānāṁ karēbhyō yadahaṁ rakṣāṁ labhēya madīyaitēna sēvanakarmmaṇā ca yad yirūśālamasthāḥ pavitralōkāstuṣyēyuḥ,

that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;

32 tadarthaṁ yūyaṁ matkr̥ta īśvarāya prārthayamāṇā yatadhvaṁ tēnāham īśvarēcchayā sānandaṁ yuṣmatsamīpaṁ gatvā yuṣmābhiḥ sahitaḥ prāṇān āpyāyituṁ pārayiṣyāmi|

that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,

33 śāntidāyaka īśvarō yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ saṅgī bhūyāt| iti|

and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
