Romans 15
1 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
balavadbhirasmAbhi rdurbbalAnAM daurbbalyaM soDhavyaM na ca sveSAm iSTAcAra AcaritavyaH|
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up.
asmAkam ekaiko janaH svasamIpavAsino hitArthaM niSThArthaJca tasyaiveSTAcAram Acaratu|
3 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
yataH khrISTo'pi nijeSTAcAraM nAcaritavAn, yathA likhitam Aste, tvannindakagaNasyaiva nindAbhi rnindito'smyahaM|
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
aparaJca vayaM yat sahiSNutAsAntvanayo rjanakena zAstreNa pratyAzAM labhemahi tannimittaM pUrvvakAle likhitAni sarvvavacanAnyasmAkam upadezArthameva lilikhire|
5 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
sahiSNutAsAntvanayorAkaro ya IzvaraH sa evaM karotu yat prabhu ryIzukhrISTa iva yuSmAkam ekajano'nyajanena sArddhaM manasa aikyam Acaret;
6 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
yUyaJca sarvva ekacittA bhUtvA mukhaikenevAsmatprabhuyIzukhrISTasya piturIzvarasya guNAn kIrttayeta|
7 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God.
aparam Izvarasya mahimnaH prakAzArthaM khrISTo yathA yuSmAn pratyagRhlAt tathA yuSmAkamapyeko jano'nyajanaM pratigRhlAtu|
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,
yathA likhitam Aste, ato'haM sammukhe tiSThan bhinnadezanivAsinAM| stuvaMstvAM parigAsyAmi tava nAmni parezvara||
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”
tasya dayAlutvAcca bhinnajAtIyA yad Izvarasya guNAn kIrttayeyustadarthaM yIzuH khrISTastvakchedaniyamasya nighno'bhavad ityahaM vadAmi| yathA likhitam Aste, ato'haM sammukhe tiSThan bhinnadezanivAsinAM| stuvaMstvAM parigAsyAmi tava nAmni parezvara||
10 Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
aparamapi likhitam Aste, he anyajAtayo yUyaM samaM nandata tajjanaiH|
11 Again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples praise him.”
punazca likhitam Aste, he sarvvadezino yUyaM dhanyaM brUta parezvaraM| he tadIyanarA yUyaM kurudhvaM tatprazaMsanaM||
12 Again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will hope.”
apara yIzAyiyo'pi lilekha, yIzayasya tu yat mUlaM tat prakAziSyate tadA| sarvvajAtIyanRNAJca zAsakaH samudeSyati| tatrAnyadezilokaizca pratyAzA prakariSyate||
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
ataeva yUyaM pavitrasyAtmanaH prabhAvAd yat sampUrNAM pratyAzAM lapsyadhve tadarthaM tatpratyAzAjanaka IzvaraH pratyayena yuSmAn zAntyAnandAbhyAM sampUrNAn karotu|
14 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
he bhrAtaro yUyaM sadbhAvayuktAH sarvvaprakAreNa jJAnena ca sampUrNAH parasparopadeze ca tatparA ityahaM nizcitaM jAnAmi,
15 But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God,
tathApyahaM yat pragalbhataro bhavan yuSmAn prabodhayAmi tasyaikaM kAraNamidaM|
16 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
bhinnajAtIyAH pavitreNAtmanA pAvitanaivedyarUpA bhUtvA yad grAhyA bhaveyustannimittamaham Izvarasya susaMvAdaM pracArayituM bhinnajAtIyAnAM madhye yIzukhrISTasya sevakatvaM dAnaM IzvarAt labdhavAnasmi|
17 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God.
IzvaraM prati yIzukhrISTena mama zlAghAkaraNasya kAraNam Aste|
18 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
bhinnadezina AjJAgrAhiNaH karttuM khrISTo vAkyena kriyayA ca, AzcaryyalakSaNaizcitrakriyAbhiH pavitrasyAtmanaH prabhAvena ca yAni karmmANi mayA sAdhitavAn,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ;
kevalaM tAnyeva vinAnyasya kasyacit karmmaNo varNanAM karttuM pragalbho na bhavAmi| tasmAt A yirUzAlama illUrikaM yAvat sarvvatra khrISTasya susaMvAdaM prAcArayaM|
20 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation.
anyena nicitAyAM bhittAvahaM yanna nicinomi tannimittaM yatra yatra sthAne khrISTasya nAma kadApi kenApi na jJApitaM tatra tatra susaMvAdaM pracArayitum ahaM yate|
21 But, as it is written, “They will see, to whom no news of him came. They who haven’t heard will understand.”
yAdRzaM likhitam Aste, yai rvArttA tasya na prAptA darzanaM taistu lapsyate| yaizca naiva zrutaM kiJcit boddhuM zakSyanti te janAH||
22 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
tasmAd yuSmatsamIpagamanAd ahaM muhurmuhu rnivArito'bhavaM|
23 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you,
kintvidAnIm atra pradezeSu mayA na gataM sthAnaM kimapi nAvaziSyate yuSmatsamIpaM gantuM bahuvatsarAnArabhya mAmakInAkAGkSA ca vidyata iti hetoH
24 whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
spAniyAdezagamanakAle'haM yuSmanmadhyena gacchan yuSmAn AlokiSye, tataH paraM yuSmatsambhASaNena tRptiM parilabhya taddezagamanArthaM yuSmAbhi rvisarjayiSye, IdRzI madIyA pratyAzA vidyate|
25 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
kintu sAmprataM pavitralokAnAM sevanAya yirUzAlamnagaraM vrajAmi|
26 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.
yato yirUzAlamasthapavitralokAnAM madhye ye daridrA arthavizrANanena tAnupakarttuM mAkidaniyAdezIyA AkhAyAdezIyAzca lokA aicchan|
27 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things.
eSA teSAM sadicchA yataste teSAm RNinaH santi yato heto rbhinnajAtIyA yeSAM paramArthasyAMzino jAtA aihikaviSaye teSAmupakArastaiH karttavyaH|
28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.
ato mayA tat karmma sAdhayitvA tasmin phale tebhyaH samarpite yuSmanmadhyena spAniyAdezo gamiSyate|
29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
yuSmatsamIpe mamAgamanasamaye khrISTasya susaMvAdasya pUrNavareNa sambalitaH san aham AgamiSyAmi iti mayA jJAyate|
30 Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,
he bhrAtRgaNa prabho ryIzukhrISTasya nAmnA pavitrasyAtmAnaH premnA ca vinaye'haM
31 that I may be delivered from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
yihUdAdezasthAnAm avizvAsilokAnAM karebhyo yadahaM rakSAM labheya madIyaitena sevanakarmmaNA ca yad yirUzAlamasthAH pavitralokAstuSyeyuH,
32 that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest.

33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
