Paul, a servant of Yeshua the Messiah, called to be an emissary, set apart for the Good News of God,

2 sa romAnagarasthAn IshvarapriyAn AhUtAMshcha pavitralokAn prati patraM likhati|

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

3 asmAkaM sa prabhu ryIshuH khrIShTaH shArIrikasambandhena dAyUdo vaMshodbhavaH

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

4 pavitrasyAtmanaH sambandhena cheshvarasya prabhAvavAn putra iti shmashAnAt tasyotthAnena pratipannaM|

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

5 aparaM yeShAM madhye yIshunA khrIShTena yUyamapyAhUtAste. anyadeshIyalokAstasya nAmni vishvasya nideshagrAhiNo yathA bhavanti

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

6 tadabhiprAyeNa vayaM tasmAd anugrahaM preritatvapada ncha prAptAH|

among whom you are also called to belong to Yeshua the Messiah;

7 tAtenAsmAkam IshvareNa prabhuNA yIshukhrIShTena cha yuShmabhyam anugrahaH shAntishcha pradIyetAM|

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be holy ones: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

First, I thank my God through Yeshua the Messiah for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 aparam Ishvarasya prasAdAd bahukAlAt paraM sAmprataM yuShmAkaM samIpaM yAtuM kathamapi yat suyogaM prApnomi, etadarthaM nirantaraM nAmAnyuchchArayan nijAsu sarvvaprArthanAsu sarvvadA nivedayAmi,

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

10 etasmin yamahaM tatputrIyasusaMvAdaprachAraNena manasA paricharAmi sa Ishvaro mama sAkShI vidyate|

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

11 yato yuShmAkaM mama cha vishvAsena vayam ubhaye yathA shAntiyuktA bhavAma iti kAraNAd

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

12 yuShmAkaM sthairyyakaraNArthaM yuShmabhyaM ki nchitparamArthadAnadAnAya yuShmAn sAkShAt karttuM madIyA vA nChA|

that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 he bhrAtR^igaNa bhinnadeshIyalokAnAM madhye yadvat tadvad yuShmAkaM madhyepi yathA phalaM bhu nje tadabhiprAyeNa muhurmuhu ryuShmAkaM samIpaM gantum udyato. ahaM kintu yAvad adya tasmin gamane mama vighno jAta iti yUyaM yad aj nAtAstiShThatha tadaham uchitaM na budhye|

Now I don’t 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 rest of the Gentiles.

14 ahaM sabhyAsabhyAnAM vidvadavidvatA ncha sarvveShAm R^iNI vidye|

I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 ataeva romAnivAsinAM yuShmAkaM samIpe. api yathAshakti susaMvAdaM prachArayitum aham udyatosmi|

So as much as is in me, I am eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 yataH khrIShTasya susaMvAdo mama lajjAspadaM nahi sa Ishvarasya shaktisvarUpaH san A yihUdIyebhyo. anyajAtIyAn yAvat sarvvajAtIyAnAM madhye yaH kashchid tatra vishvasiti tasyaiva trANaM janayati|

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

17 yataH pratyayasya samaparimANam IshvaradattaM puNyaM tatsusaMvAde prakAshate| tadadhi dharmmapustakepi likhitamidaM "puNyavAn jano vishvAsena jIviShyati"|

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

18 ataeva ye mAnavAH pApakarmmaNA satyatAM rundhanti teShAM sarvvasya durAcharaNasyAdharmmasya cha viruddhaM svargAd Ishvarasya kopaH prakAshate|

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

19 yata Ishvaramadhi yadyad j neyaM tad IshvaraH svayaM tAn prati prakAshitavAn tasmAt teShAm agocharaM nahi|

because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

20 phalatastasyAnantashaktIshvaratvAdInyadR^ishyAnyapi sR^iShTikAlam Arabhya karmmasu prakAshamAnAni dR^ishyante tasmAt teShAM doShaprakShAlanasya panthA nAsti| (aïdios g126)

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 aparam IshvaraM j nAtvApi te tam Ishvaraj nAnena nAdriyanta kR^itaj nA vA na jAtAH; tasmAt teShAM sarvve tarkA viphalIbhUtAH, apara ncha teShAM vivekashUnyAni manAMsi timire magnAni|

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 te svAn j nAnino j nAtvA j nAnahInA abhavan

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 anashvarasyeshvarasya gauravaM vihAya nashvaramanuShyapashupakShyurogAmiprabhR^iterAkR^itivishiShTapratimAstairAshritAH|

and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.

24 itthaM ta Ishvarasya satyatAM vihAya mR^iShAmatam AshritavantaH sachchidAnandaM sR^iShTikarttAraM tyaktvA sR^iShTavastunaH pUjAM sevA ncha kR^itavantaH; (aiōn g165)

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;

25 iti hetorIshvarastAn kukriyAyAM samarpya nijanijakuchintAbhilAShAbhyAM svaM svaM sharIraM parasparam apamAnitaM karttum adadAt|

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

26 IshvareNa teShu kvabhilAShe samarpiteShu teShAM yoShitaH svAbhAvikAcharaNam apahAya viparItakR^itye prAvarttanta;

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

27 tathA puruShA api svAbhAvikayoShitsa NgamaM vihAya parasparaM kAmakR^ishAnunA dagdhAH santaH pumAMsaH puMbhiH sAkaM kukR^itye samAsajya nijanijabhrAnteH samuchitaM phalam alabhanta|

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 te sveShAM manaHsvIshvarAya sthAnaM dAtum anichChukAstato hetorIshvarastAn prati duShTamanaskatvam avihitakriyatva ncha dattavAn|

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

29 ataeva te sarvve. anyAyo vyabhichAro duShTatvaM lobho jighAMsA IrShyA vadho vivAdashchAturI kumatirityAdibhi rduShkarmmabhiH paripUrNAH santaH

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

30 karNejapA apavAdina IshvaradveShakA hiMsakA aha NkAriNa AtmashlAghinaH kukarmmotpAdakAH pitrorAj nAla NghakA

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 avichArakA niyamala NghinaH sneharahitA atidveShiNo nirdayAshcha jAtAH|

without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 ye janA etAdR^ishaM karmma kurvvanti taeva mR^itiyogyA Ishvarasya vichAramIdR^ishaM j nAtvApi ta etAdR^ishaM karmma svayaM kurvvanti kevalamiti nahi kintu tAdR^ishakarmmakAriShu lokeShvapi prIyante|

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.
