رومِنَح 7

1 ہے بھْراترِگَنَ وْیَوَسْتھاوِدَح پْرَتِ مَمیدَں نِویدَنَں۔ وِدھِح کیوَلَں یاوَجِّیوَں مانَووپَرْیَّدھِپَتِتْوَں کَروتِیتِ یُویَں کِں نَ جانِیتھَ؟

Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?

2 یاوَتْکالَں پَتِ رْجِیوَتِ تاوَتْکالَمْ اُوڈھا بھارْیّا وْیَوَسْتھَیا تَسْمِنْ بَدّھا تِشْٹھَتِ کِنْتُ یَدِ پَتِ رْمْرِیَتے تَرْہِ سا نارِی پَتْیُ رْوْیَوَسْتھاتو مُچْیَتے۔

For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

3 ایتَتْکارَناتْ پَتْیُرْجِیوَنَکالے نارِی یَدْیَنْیَں پُرُشَں وِوَہَتِ تَرْہِ سا وْیَبھِچارِنِی بھَوَتِ کِنْتُ یَدِ سَ پَتِ رْمْرِیَتے تَرْہِ سا تَسْیا وْیَوَسْتھایا مُکْتا سَتِی پُرُشانْتَرینَ وْیُوڈھاپِ وْیَبھِچارِنِی نَ بھَوَتِ۔

So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.

4 ہے مَمَ بھْراترِگَنَ، اِیشْوَرَنِمِتَّں یَدَسْماکَں پھَلَں جایَتے تَدَرْتھَں شْمَشانادْ اُتّھاپِتینَ پُرُشینَ سَہَ یُشْماکَں وِواہو یَدْ بھَویتْ تَدَرْتھَں کھْرِیشْٹَسْیَ شَرِیرینَ یُویَں وْیَوَسْتھاں پْرَتِ مرِتَوَنْتَح۔

Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.

5 یَتوسْماکَں شارِیرِکاچَرَنَسَمَیے مَرَنَنِمِتَّں پھَلَمْ اُتْپادَیِتُں وْیَوَسْتھَیا دُوشِتَح پاپابھِلاشوسْماکَمْ اَنْگیشُ جِیوَنْ آسِیتْ۔

For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

6 کِنْتُ تَدا یَسْیا وْیَوَسْتھایا وَشے آسْمَہِ سامْپْرَتَں تاں پْرَتِ مرِتَتْوادْ وَیَں تَسْیا اَدھِینَتْواتْ مُکْتا اِتِ ہیتورِیشْوَروسْمابھِح پُراتَنَلِکھِتانُساراتْ نَ سیوِتَوْیَح کِنْتُ نَوِینَسْوَبھاوینَیوَ سیوِتَوْیَح

But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

7 تَرْہِ وَیَں کِں بْرُومَح؟ وْیَوَسْتھا کِں پاپَجَنِکا بھَوَتِ؟ نیتّھَں بھَوَتُ۔ وْیَوَسْتھامْ اَوِدْیَمانایاں پاپَں کِمْ اِتْیَہَں ناویدَں؛ کِنْچَ لوبھَں ما کارْشِیرِتِ چیدْ وْیَوَسْتھاگْرَنْتھے لِکھِتَں نابھَوِشْیَتْ تَرْہِ لوبھَح کِمْبھُوتَسْتَدَہَں ناجْناسْیَں۔

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

8 کِنْتُ وْیَوَسْتھَیا پاپَں چھِدْرَں پْراپْیاسْماکَمْ اَنْتَح سَرْوَّوِدھَں کُتْسِتابھِلاشَمْ اَجَنَیَتْ؛ یَتو وْیَوَسْتھایامْ اَوِدْیَمانایاں پاپَں مرِتَں۔

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

9 اَپَرَں پُورْوَّں وْیَوَسْتھایامْ اَوِدْیَمانایامْ اَہَمْ اَجِیوَں تَتَح پَرَمْ آجْنایامْ اُپَسْتھِتایامْ پاپَمْ اَجِیوَتْ تَداہَمْ اَمْرِیے۔

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

10 اِتّھَں سَتِ جِیوَنَنِمِتّا یاجْنا سا مَمَ مرِتْیُجَنِکابھَوَتْ۔

So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death.

11 یَتَح پاپَں چھِدْرَں پْراپْیَ وْیَوَسْتھِتادیشینَ ماں وَنْچَیِتْوا تینَ مامْ اَہَنْ۔

For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.

12 اَتَایوَ وْیَوَسْتھا پَوِتْرا، آدیشَشْچَ پَوِتْرو نْیایّو ہِتَکارِی چَ بھَوَتِ۔

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

13 تَرْہِ یَتْ سْوَیَں ہِتَکرِتْ تَتْ کِں مَمَ مرِتْیُجَنَکَمْ اَبھَوَتْ؟ نیتّھَں بھَوَتُ؛ کِنْتُ پاپَں یَتْ پاتَکَمِوَ پْرَکاشَتے تَتھا نِدیشینَ پاپَں یَدَتِیوَ پاتَکَمِوَ پْرَکاشَتے تَدَرْتھَں ہِتوپایینَ مَمَ مَرَنَمْ اَجَنَیَتْ۔

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14 وْیَوَسْتھاتْمَبودھِکیتِ وَیَں جانِیمَح کِنْتْوَہَں شارِیرَتاچارِی پاپَسْیَ کْرِیتَکِنْکَرو وِدْیے۔

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

15 یَتو یَتْ کَرْمَّ کَرومِ تَتْ مَمَ مَنوبھِمَتَں نَہِ؛ اَپَرَں یَنْ مَمَ مَنوبھِمَتَں تَنَّ کَرومِ کِنْتُ یَدْ رِتِییے تَتْ کَرومِ۔

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do. But what I hate, I do.

16 تَتھاتْوے یَنْ مَمانَبھِمَتَں تَدْ یَدِ کَرومِ تَرْہِ وْیَوَسْتھا سُوتَّمیتِ سْوِیکَرومِ۔

And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.

17 اَتَایوَ سَمْپْرَتِ تَتْ کَرْمَّ مَیا کْرِیَتَ اِتِ نَہِ کِنْتُ مَمَ شَرِیرَسْتھینَ پاپینَیوَ کْرِیَتے۔

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

18 یَتو مَیِ، اَرْتھَتو مَمَ شَرِیرے، کِمَپْیُتَّمَں نَ وَسَتِ، ایتَدْ اَہَں جانامِ؛ مَمیچّھُکَتایاں تِشْٹھَنْتْیامَپْیَہَمْ اُتَّمَکَرْمَّسادھَنے سَمَرْتھو نَ بھَوامِ۔

I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh; for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.

19 یَتو یامُتَّماں کْرِیاں کَرْتُّمَہَں وانْچھامِ تاں نَ کَرومِ کِنْتُ یَتْ کُتْسِتَں کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّمْ اَنِچّھُکوسْمِ تَدیوَ کَرومِ۔

For I do not do the good I want to do. Instead, I keep on doing the evil I do not want to do.

20 اَتَایوَ یَدْیَتْ کَرْمَّ کَرْتُّں مَمیچّھا نَ بھَوَتِ تَدْ یَدِ کَرومِ تَرْہِ تَتْ مَیا نَ کْرِیَتے، مَمانْتَرْوَرْتِّنا پاپینَیوَ کْرِیَتے۔

And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

21 بھَدْرَں کَرْتُّمْ اِچّھُکَں ماں یو بھَدْرَں کَرْتُّں پْرَوَرْتَّیَتِ تادرِشَں سْوَبھاوَمیکَں مَیِ پَشْیامِ۔

So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

22 اَہَمْ آنْتَرِکَپُرُشینیشْوَرَوْیَوَسْتھایاں سَنْتُشْٹَ آسے؛

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

23 کِنْتُ تَدْوِپَرِیتَں یُدھْیَنْتَں تَدَنْیَمیکَں سْوَبھاوَں مَدِییانْگَسْتھِتَں پْرَپَشْیامِ، سَ مَدِییانْگَسْتھِتَپاپَسْوَبھاوَسْیایَتَّں ماں کَرْتُّں چیشْٹَتے۔

But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.

24 ہا ہا یوہَں دُرْبھاگْیو مَنُجَسْتَں مامْ ایتَسْمانْ مرِتاچّھَرِیراتْ کو نِسْتارَیِشْیَتِ؟

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

25 اَسْماکَں پْرَبھُنا یِیشُکھْرِیشْٹینَ نِسْتارَیِتارَمْ اِیشْوَرَں دھَنْیَں وَدامِ۔ اَتَایوَ شَرِیرینَ پاپَوْیَوَسْتھایا مَنَسا تُ اِیشْوَرَوْیَوَسْتھایاح سیوَنَں کَرومِ۔

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
