Romans 4
1 What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?
asmākaṁ pūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm kāyikakriyayā kiṁ labdhavān etadadhi kiṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ?
2 If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.
sa yadi nijakriyābhyaḥ sapuṇyo bhavet tarhi tasyātmaślāghāṁ karttuṁ panthā bhavediti satyaṁ, kintvīśvarasya samīpe nahi|
3 What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
śāstre kiṁ likhati? ibrāhīm īśvare viśvasanāt sa viśvāsastasmai puṇyārthaṁ gaṇito babhūva|
4 To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;
karmmakāriṇo yad vetanaṁ tad anugrahasya phalaṁ nahi kintu tenopārjitaṁ mantavyam|
5 To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.
kintu yaḥ pāpinaṁ sapuṇyīkaroti tasmin viśvāsinaḥ karmmahīnasya janasya yo viśvāsaḥ sa puṇyārthaṁ gaṇyo bhavati|
6 just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
aparaṁ yaṁ kriyāhīnam īśvaraḥ sapuṇyīkaroti tasya dhanyavādaṁ dāyūd varṇayāmāsa, yathā,
7 Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;
sa dhanyo'ghāni mṛṣṭāni yasyāgāṁsyāvṛtāni ca|
8 blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.
sa ca dhanyaḥ pareśena pāpaṁ yasya na gaṇyate|
9 [Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.
eṣa dhanyavādastvakchedinam atvakchedinaṁ vā kaṁ prati bhavati? ibrāhīmo viśvāsaḥ puṇyārthaṁ gaṇita iti vayaṁ vadāmaḥ|
10 How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;
sa viśvāsastasya tvakcheditvāvasthāyāṁ kim atvakcheditvāvasthāyāṁ kasmin samaye puṇyamiva gaṇitaḥ? tvakcheditvāvasthāyāṁ nahi kintvatvakcheditvāvasthāyāṁ|
11 And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,
aparañca sa yat sarvveṣām atvakchedināṁ viśvāsinām ādipuruṣo bhavet, te ca puṇyavattvena gaṇyeran;
12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.
ye ca lokāḥ kevalaṁ chinnatvaco na santo 'smatpūrvvapuruṣa ibrāhīm achinnatvak san yena viśvāsamārgeṇa gatavān tenaiva tasya pādacihnena gacchanti teṣāṁ tvakchedināmapyādipuruṣo bhavet tadartham atvakchedino mānavasya viśvāsāt puṇyam utpadyata iti pramāṇasvarūpaṁ tvakchedacihnaṁ sa prāpnot|
13 Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.
ibrāhīm jagato'dhikārī bhaviṣyati yaiṣā pratijñā taṁ tasya vaṁśañca prati pūrvvam akriyata sā vyavasthāmūlikā nahi kintu viśvāsajanyapuṇyamūlikā|
14 If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;
yato vyavasthāvalambino yadyadhikāriṇo bhavanti tarhi viśvāso viphalo jāyate sā pratijñāpi luptaiva|
15 For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.
adhikantu vyavasthā kopaṁ janayati yato 'vidyamānāyāṁ vyavasthāyām ājñālaṅghanaṁ na sambhavati|
16 Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —
ataeva sā pratijñā yad anugrahasya phalaṁ bhavet tadarthaṁ viśvāsamūlikā yatastathātve tadvaṁśasamudāyaṁ prati arthato ye vyavasthayā tadvaṁśasambhavāḥ kevalaṁ tān prati nahi kintu ya ibrāhīmīyaviśvāsena tatsambhavāstānapi prati sā pratijñā sthāsnurbhavati|
17 even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;
yo nirjīvān sajīvān avidyamānāni vastūni ca vidyamānāni karoti ibrāhīmo viśvāsabhūmestasyeśvarasya sākṣāt so'smākaṁ sarvveṣām ādipuruṣa āste, yathā likhitaṁ vidyate, ahaṁ tvāṁ bahujātīnām ādipuruṣaṁ kṛtvā niyuktavān|
18 who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;
tvadīyastādṛśo vaṁśo janiṣyate yadidaṁ vākyaṁ pratiśrutaṁ tadanusārād ibrāhīm bahudeśīyalokānām ādipuruṣo yad bhavati tadarthaṁ so'napekṣitavyamapyapekṣamāṇo viśvāsaṁ kṛtavān|
19 And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,
aparañca kṣīṇaviśvāso na bhūtvā śatavatsaravayaskatvāt svaśarīrasya jarāṁ sārānāmnaḥ svabhāryyāyā rajonivṛttiñca tṛṇāya na mene|
20 About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God
aparam aviśvāsād īśvarasya pratijñāvacane kamapi saṁśayaṁ na cakāra;
21 and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;
kintvīśvareṇa yat pratiśrutaṁ tat sādhayituṁ śakyata iti niścitaṁ vijñāya dṛḍhaviśvāsaḥ san īśvarasya mahimānaṁ prakāśayāñcakāra|
22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.
iti hetostasya sa viśvāsastadīyapuṇyamiva gaṇayāñcakre|
23 Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,
puṇyamivāgaṇyata tat kevalasya tasya nimittaṁ likhitaṁ nahi, asmākaṁ nimittamapi,
24 but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,
yato'smākaṁ pāpanāśārthaṁ samarpito'smākaṁ puṇyaprāptyarthañcotthāpito'bhavat yo'smākaṁ prabhu ryīśustasyotthāpayitarīśvare
25 who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
yadi vayaṁ viśvasāmastarhyasmākamapi saeva viśvāsaḥ puṇyamiva gaṇayiṣyate|
