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 law), that the law has authority over someone 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 example, a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if the man should die, she is released from the law about the husband.

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 should ‘marry’ another man while her husband is living, she will be labeled an adulteress; but if the husband should die, she is free from that law, not being an adulteress 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 were put to death to the law through the body of the Christ so as to belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—so that we should produce fruit to God.

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

Because when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our body parts to produce fruit to 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 we have been released from the law, having died to what was gripping us, so as to slave in newness of spirit and not in oldness of letter.

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۔

So what shall we say then? Is the law sin? Of course not! Indeed, I would not have come to know the sin except through the law: I would not have recognized covetousness if the law had not said, “You must not covet.”

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

But the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. Now without the law sin is dead.

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

Once upon a time, without law, I was actually ‘alive’; but when the commandment came, the sin came to life and I died.

10 اِتّھَں سَتِ جِیوَنَنِمِتّا یاجْنا سا مَمَ مرِتْیُجَنِکابھَوَتْ۔

Yes, the commandment that was to bring me life turned out to bring death.

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

Because the sin, grasping an opportunity through the commandment, completely deceived me, and used it to ‘kill’ me.

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

So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and 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۔

So has what is good become death to me? Of course not! Rather the sin, that it might be exposed as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment the sin might become extremely sinful.

14 وْیَوَسْتھاتْمَبودھِکیتِ وَیَں جانِیمَح کِنْتْوَہَں شارِیرَتاچارِی پاپَسْیَ کْرِیتَکِنْکَرو وِدْیے۔

We know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, having been ‘sold’ under sin

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

—you see, I do not understand what I am doing: I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate!

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

But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.

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

So now it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin dwelling in me.

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

Further, I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; because to will is present with me, but I do not find how to perform the good.

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

Because I do not do the good that I want to do; rather I practice the evil that 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۔

Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin dwelling in me.

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

So I find this ‘law’: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

22 اَہَمْ آنْتَرِکَپُرُشینیشْوَرَوْیَوَسْتھایاں سَنْتُشْٹَ آسے؛

I joyfully agree with God's law according to the inner man,

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

but I see a different ‘law’ in my body parts, warring against the law of my mind and taking me captive to the law of the sin that is in my body parts.

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

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

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

I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, sin's law.
