Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
yuSmAkam EkaikajanaH zAsanapadasya nighnO bhavatu yatO yAni zAsanapadAni santi tAni sarvvANIzvarENa sthApitAni; IzvaraM vinA padasthApanaM na bhavati|
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgement.
iti hEtOH zAsanapadasya yat prAtikUlyaM tad IzvarIyanirUpaNasya prAtikUlyamEva; aparaM yE prAtikUlyam Acaranti tE svESAM samucitaM daNPaM svayamEva ghaTayantE|
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
zAstA sadAcAriNAM bhayapradO nahi durAcAriNAmEva bhayapradO bhavati; tvaM kiM tasmAn nirbhayO bhavitum icchasi? tarhi satkarmmAcara, tasmAd yazO lapsyasE,
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
yatastava sadAcaraNAya sa Izvarasya bhRtyO'sti| kintu yadi kukarmmAcarasi tarhi tvaM zagkasva yataH sa nirarthakaM khaggaM na dhArayati; kukarmmAcAriNaM samucitaM daNPayitum sa Izvarasya daNPadabhRtya Eva|
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
ataEva kEvaladaNPabhayAnnahi kintu sadasadbOdhAdapi tasya vazyEna bhavitavyaM|
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
EtasmAd yuSmAkaM rAjakaradAnamapyucitaM yasmAd yE karaM gRhlanti ta Izvarasya kigkarA bhUtvA satatam Etasmin karmmaNi niviSTAstiSThanti|
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honour, then honour.
asmAt karagrAhiNE karaM datta, tathA zulkagrAhiNE zulkaM datta, aparaM yasmAd bhEtavyaM tasmAd bibhIta, yazca samAdaraNIyastaM samAdriyadhvam; itthaM yasya yat prApyaM tat tasmai datta|
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbour has fulfilled the law.
yuSmAkaM parasparaM prEma vinA 'nyat kimapi dEyam RNaM na bhavatu, yatO yaH parasmin prEma karOti tEna vyavasthA sidhyati|
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.”
vastutaH paradArAn mA gaccha, narahatyAM mA kArSIH, cairyyaM mA kArSIH, mithyAsAkSyaM mA dEhi, lObhaM mA kArSIH, EtAH sarvvA AjnjA EtAbhyO bhinnA yA kAcid AjnjAsti sApi svasamIpavAsini svavat prEma kurvvityanEna vacanEna vEditA|
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbour. Love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.
yataH prEma samIpavAsinO'zubhaM na janayati tasmAt prEmnA sarvvA vyavasthA pAlyatE|
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
pratyayIbhavanakAlE'smAkaM paritrANasya sAmIpyAd idAnIM tasya sAmIpyam avyavahitaM; ataH samayaM vivicyAsmAbhiH sAmpratam avazyamEva nidrAtO jAgarttavyaM|
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armour of light.
bahutarA yAminI gatA prabhAtaM sannidhiM prAptaM tasmAt tAmasIyAH kriyAH parityajyAsmAbhi rvAsarIyA sajjA paridhAtavyA|
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
atO hEtO rvayaM divA vihitaM sadAcaraNam AcariSyAmaH| raggarasO mattatvaM lampaTatvaM kAmukatvaM vivAda IrSyA caitAni parityakSyAmaH|
14 But put on the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
