1 īśvarō nijaputramadhi yaṁ susaṁvādaṁ bhaviṣyadvādibhi rdharmmagranthē pratiśrutavān taṁ susaṁvādaṁ pracārayituṁ pr̥thakkr̥ta āhūtaḥ prēritaśca prabhō ryīśukhrīṣṭasya sēvakō yaḥ paulaḥ

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

2 sa rōmānagarasthān īśvarapriyān āhūtāṁśca pavitralōkān prati patraṁ likhati|

which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3 asmākaṁ sa prabhu ryīśuḥ khrīṣṭaḥ śārīrikasambandhēna dāyūdō vaṁśōdbhavaḥ

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

4 pavitrasyātmanaḥ sambandhēna cēśvarasya prabhāvavān putra iti śmaśānāt tasyōtthānēna pratipannaṁ|

who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 aparaṁ yēṣāṁ madhyē yīśunā khrīṣṭēna yūyamapyāhūtāstē 'nyadēśīyalōkāstasya nāmni viśvasya nidēśagrāhiṇō yathā bhavanti

through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

6 tadabhiprāyēṇa vayaṁ tasmād anugrahaṁ prēritatvapadañca prāptāḥ|

among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

7 tātēnāsmākam īśvarēṇa prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēna ca yuṣmabhyam anugrahaḥ śāntiśca pradīyētāṁ|

to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 prathamataḥ sarvvasmin jagati yuṣmākaṁ viśvāsasya prakāśitatvād ahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ sarvvēṣāṁ nimittaṁ yīśukhrīṣṭasya nāma gr̥hlan īśvarasya dhanyavādaṁ karōmi|

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 aparam īśvarasya prasādād bahukālāt paraṁ sāmprataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ yātuṁ kathamapi yat suyōgaṁ prāpnōmi, ētadarthaṁ nirantaraṁ nāmānyuccārayan nijāsu sarvvaprārthanāsu sarvvadā nivēdayāmi,

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you

10 ētasmin yamahaṁ tatputrīyasusaṁvādapracāraṇēna manasā paricarāmi sa īśvarō mama sākṣī vidyatē|

always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.

11 yatō yuṣmākaṁ mama ca viśvāsēna vayam ubhayē yathā śāntiyuktā bhavāma iti kāraṇād

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;

12 yuṣmākaṁ sthairyyakaraṇārthaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ kiñcitparamārthadānadānāya yuṣmān sākṣāt karttuṁ madīyā vāñchā|

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.

13 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|

Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.

14 ahaṁ sabhyāsabhyānāṁ vidvadavidvatāñca sarvvēṣām r̥ṇī vidyē|

I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 ataēva rōmānivāsināṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpē'pi yathāśakti susaṁvādaṁ pracārayitum aham udyatōsmi|

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 yataḥ khrīṣṭasya susaṁvādō mama lajjāspadaṁ nahi sa īśvarasya śaktisvarūpaḥ san ā yihūdīyēbhyō 'nyajātīyān yāvat sarvvajātīyānāṁ madhyē yaḥ kaścid tatra viśvasiti tasyaiva trāṇaṁ janayati|

For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

17 yataḥ pratyayasya samaparimāṇam īśvaradattaṁ puṇyaṁ tatsusaṁvādē prakāśatē| tadadhi dharmmapustakēpi likhitamidaṁ "puṇyavān janō viśvāsēna jīviṣyati"|

For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."

18 ataēva yē mānavāḥ pāpakarmmaṇā satyatāṁ rundhanti tēṣāṁ sarvvasya durācaraṇasyādharmmasya ca viruddhaṁ svargād īśvarasya kōpaḥ prakāśatē|

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,

19 yata īśvaramadhi yadyad jñēyaṁ tad īśvaraḥ svayaṁ tān prati prakāśitavān tasmāt tēṣām agōcaraṁ nahi|

because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.

20 phalatastasyānantaśaktīśvaratvādīnyadr̥śyānyapi sr̥ṣṭikālam ārabhya karmmasu prakāśamānāni dr̥śyantē tasmāt tēṣāṁ dōṣaprakṣālanasya panthā nāsti| (aïdios g126)

For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 aparam īśvaraṁ jñātvāpi tē tam īśvarajñānēna nādriyanta kr̥tajñā vā na jātāḥ; tasmāt tēṣāṁ sarvvē tarkā viphalībhūtāḥ, aparañca tēṣāṁ vivēkaśūnyāni manāṁsi timirē magnāni|

Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 tē svān jñāninō jñātvā jñānahīnā abhavan

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

23 anaśvarasyēśvarasya gauravaṁ vihāya naśvaramanuṣyapaśupakṣyurōgāmiprabhr̥tērākr̥tiviśiṣṭapratimāstairāśritāḥ|

and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.

24 itthaṁ ta īśvarasya satyatāṁ vihāya mr̥ṣāmatam āśritavantaḥ saccidānandaṁ sr̥ṣṭikarttāraṁ tyaktvā sr̥ṣṭavastunaḥ pūjāṁ sēvāñca kr̥tavantaḥ; (aiōn g165)

Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,

25 iti hētōrīśvarastān kukriyāyāṁ samarpya nijanijakucintābhilāṣābhyāṁ svaṁ svaṁ śarīraṁ parasparam apamānitaṁ karttum adadāt|

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 īśvarēṇa tēṣu kvabhilāṣē samarpitēṣu tēṣāṁ yōṣitaḥ svābhāvikācaraṇam apahāya viparītakr̥tyē prāvarttanta;

For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.

27 tathā puruṣā api svābhāvikayōṣitsaṅgamaṁ vihāya parasparaṁ kāmakr̥śānunā dagdhāḥ santaḥ pumāṁsaḥ puṁbhiḥ sākaṁ kukr̥tyē samāsajya nijanijabhrāntēḥ samucitaṁ phalam alabhanta|

Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 tē svēṣāṁ manaḥsvīśvarāya sthānaṁ dātum anicchukāstatō hētōrīśvarastān prati duṣṭamanaskatvam avihitakriyatvañca dattavān|

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;

29 ataēva tē sarvvē 'nyāyō vyabhicārō duṣṭatvaṁ lōbhō jighāṁsā īrṣyā vadhō vivādaścāturī kumatirityādibhi rduṣkarmmabhiḥ paripūrṇāḥ santaḥ

being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

30 karṇējapā apavādina īśvaradvēṣakā hiṁsakā ahaṅkāriṇa ātmaślāghinaḥ kukarmmōtpādakāḥ pitrōrājñālaṅghakā

slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 avicārakā niyamalaṅghinaḥ snēharahitā atidvēṣiṇō nirdayāśca jātāḥ|

foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 yē janā ētādr̥śaṁ karmma kurvvanti taēva mr̥tiyōgyā īśvarasya vicāramīdr̥śaṁ jñātvāpi ta ētādr̥śaṁ karmma svayaṁ kurvvanti kēvalamiti nahi kintu tādr̥śakarmmakāriṣu lōkēṣvapi prīyantē|

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
