Romans 9
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
ahaM kAnjcid kalpitAM kathAM na kathayAmi, khrISTasya sAkSAt satyamEva bravImi pavitrasyAtmanaH sAkSAn madIyaM mana Etat sAkSyaM dadAti|
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
mamAntaratizayaduHkhaM nirantaraM khEdazca
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
tasmAd ahaM svajAtIyabhrAtRNAM nimittAt svayaM khrISTAcchApAkrAntO bhavitum aiccham|
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertain the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
yatasta isrAyElasya vaMzA api ca dattakaputratvaM tEjO niyamO vyavasthAdAnaM mandirE bhajanaM pratijnjAH pitRpuruSagaNazcaitESu sarvvESu tESAm adhikArO'sti|
5 Whose are the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
tat kEvalaM nahi kintu sarvvAdhyakSaH sarvvadA saccidAnanda IzvarO yaH khrISTaH sO'pi zArIrikasambandhEna tESAM vaMzasambhavaH| (aiōn g165)
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, who are descended from Israel:
Izvarasya vAkyaM viphalaM jAtam iti nahi yatkAraNAd isrAyElO vaMzE yE jAtAstE sarvvE vastuta isrAyElIyA na bhavanti|
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
aparam ibrAhImO vaMzE jAtA api sarvvE tasyaiva santAnA na bhavanti kintu ishAkO nAmnA tava vaMzO vikhyAtO bhaviSyati|
8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
arthAt zArIrikasaMsargAt jAtAH santAnA yAvantastAvanta EvEzvarasya santAnA na bhavanti kintu pratizravaNAd yE jAyantE taEvEzvaravaMzO gaNyatE|
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
yatastatpratizrutE rvAkyamEtat, EtAdRzE samayE 'haM punarAgamiSyAmi tatpUrvvaM sArAyAH putra EkO janiSyatE|
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
aparamapi vadAmi svamanO'bhilASata IzvarENa yannirUpitaM tat karmmatO nahi kintvAhvayitu rjAtamEtad yathA siddhyati
11 ( For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; )
tadarthaM ribkAnAmikayA yOSitA janaikasmAd arthAd asmAkam ishAkaH pUrvvapuruSAd garbhE dhRtE tasyAH santAnayOH prasavAt pUrvvaM kinjca tayOH zubhAzubhakarmmaNaH karaNAt pUrvvaM
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
tAM pratIdaM vAkyam uktaM, jyESThaH kaniSThaM sEviSyatE,
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
yathA likhitam AstE, tathApyESAvi na prItvA yAkUbi prItavAn ahaM|
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? By no means.
tarhi vayaM kiM brUmaH? IzvaraH kim anyAyakArI? tathA na bhavatu|
15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
yataH sa svayaM mUsAm avadat; ahaM yasmin anugrahaM cikIrSAmi tamEvAnugRhlAmi, yanjca dayitum icchAmi tamEva dayE|
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
ataEvEcchatA yatamAnEna vA mAnavEna tanna sAdhyatE dayAkAriNEzvarENaiva sAdhyatE|
17 For the scripture saith to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
phirauNi zAstrE likhati, ahaM tvaddvArA matparAkramaM darzayituM sarvvapRthivyAM nijanAma prakAzayitunjca tvAM sthApitavAn|
18 Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
ataH sa yam anugrahItum icchati tamEvAnugRhlAti, yanjca nigrahItum icchati taM nigRhlAti|
19 Thou wilt say then to me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
yadi vadasi tarhi sa dOSaM kutO gRhlAti? tadIyEcchAyAH pratibandhakatvaM karttaM kasya sAmarthyaM vidyatE?
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
hE Izvarasya pratipakSa martya tvaM kaH? EtAdRzaM mAM kutaH sRSTavAn? iti kathAM sRSTavastu sraSTrE kiM kathayiSyati?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
EkasmAn mRtpiNPAd utkRSTApakRSTau dvividhau kalazau karttuM kiM kulAlasya sAmarthyaM nAsti?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
IzvaraH kOpaM prakAzayituM nijazaktiM jnjApayitunjcEcchan yadi vinAzasya yOgyAni krOdhabhAjanAni prati bahukAlaM dIrghasahiSNutAm Azrayati;
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
aparanjca vibhavaprAptyarthaM pUrvvaM niyuktAnyanugrahapAtrANi prati nijavibhavasya bAhulyaM prakAzayituM kEvalayihUdinAM nahi bhinnadEzinAmapi madhyAd
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
asmAniva tAnyAhvayati tatra tava kiM?
25 As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, who were not my people; and her beloved, who was not beloved.
hOzEyagranthE yathA likhitam AstE, yO lOkO mama nAsIt taM vadiSyAmi madIyakaM| yA jAti rmE'priyA cAsIt tAM vadiSyAmyahaM priyAM|
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
yUyaM madIyalOkA na yatrEti vAkyamaucyata| amarEzasya santAnA iti khyAsyanti tatra tE|
27 Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
isrAyElIyalOkESu yizAyiyO'pi vAcamEtAM prAcArayat, isrAyElIyavaMzAnAM yA saMkhyA sA tu nizcitaM| samudrasikatAsaMkhyAsamAnA yadi jAyatE| tathApi kEvalaM lOkairalpaistrANaM vrajiSyatE|
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
yatO nyAyEna svaM karmma parEzaH sAdhayiSyati| dEzE saEva saMkSEpAnnijaM karmma kariSyati|
29 And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like Gomorrah.
yizAyiyO'paramapi kathayAmAsa, sainyAdhyakSaparEzEna cEt kinjcinnOdaziSyata| tadA vayaM sidOmEvAbhaviSyAma vinizcitaM| yadvA vayam amOrAyA agamiSyAma tulyatAM|
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.
tarhi vayaM kiM vakSyAmaH? itaradEzIyA lOkA api puNyArtham ayatamAnA vizvAsEna puNyam alabhanta;
31 But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
kintvisrAyEllOkA vyavasthApAlanEna puNyArthaM yatamAnAstan nAlabhanta|
32 Why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
tasya kiM kAraNaM? tE vizvAsEna nahi kintu vyavasthAyAH kriyayA cESTitvA tasmin skhalanajanakE pASANE pAdaskhalanaM prAptAH|
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
likhitaM yAdRzam AstE, pazya pAdaskhalArthaM hi sIyOni prastarantathA| bAdhAkAranjca pASANaM paristhApitavAnaham| vizvasiSyati yastatra sa janO na trapiSyatE|
