युष्माकम् एकैकजनः शासनपदस्य निघ्नो भवतु यतो यानि शासनपदानि सन्ति तानि सर्व्वाणीश्वरेण स्थापितानि; ईश्वरं विना पदस्थापनं न भवति।

yuṣmākam ekaikajanaḥ śāsanapadasya nighno bhavatu yato yāni śāsanapadāni santi tāni sarvvāṇīśvareṇa sthāpitāni; īśvaraṁ vinā padasthāpanaṁ na bhavati|

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2

इति हेतोः शासनपदस्य यत् प्रातिकूल्यं तद् ईश्वरीयनिरूपणस्य प्रातिकूल्यमेव; अपरं ये प्रातिकूल्यम् आचरन्ति ते स्वेषां समुचितं दण्डं स्वयमेव घटयन्ते।

iti hetoḥ śāsanapadasya yat prātikūlyaṁ tad īśvarīyanirūpaṇasya prātikūlyameva; aparaṁ ye prātikūlyam ācaranti te sveṣāṁ samucitaṁ daṇḍaṁ svayameva ghaṭayante|

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3

शास्ता सदाचारिणां भयप्रदो नहि दुराचारिणामेव भयप्रदो भवति; त्वं किं तस्मान् निर्भयो भवितुम् इच्छसि? तर्हि सत्कर्म्माचर, तस्माद् यशो लप्स्यसे,

śāstā sadācāriṇāṁ bhayaprado nahi durācāriṇāmeva bhayaprado bhavati; tvaṁ kiṁ tasmān nirbhayo bhavitum icchasi? tarhi satkarmmācara, tasmād yaśo lapsyase,

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4

यतस्तव सदाचरणाय स ईश्वरस्य भृत्योऽस्ति। किन्तु यदि कुकर्म्माचरसि तर्हि त्वं शङ्कस्व यतः स निरर्थकं खङ्गं न धारयति; कुकर्म्माचारिणं समुचितं दण्डयितुम् स ईश्वरस्य दण्डदभृत्य एव।

yatastava sadācaraṇāya sa īśvarasya bhṛtyo'sti| kintu yadi kukarmmācarasi tarhi tvaṁ śaṅkasva yataḥ sa nirarthakaṁ khaṅgaṁ na dhārayati; kukarmmācāriṇaṁ samucitaṁ daṇḍayitum sa īśvarasya daṇḍadabhṛtya eva|

For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5

अतएव केवलदण्डभयान्नहि किन्तु सदसद्बोधादपि तस्य वश्येन भवितव्यं।

ataeva kevaladaṇḍabhayānnahi kintu sadasadbodhādapi tasya vaśyena bhavitavyaṁ|

Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6

एतस्माद् युष्माकं राजकरदानमप्युचितं यस्माद् ये करं गृह्लन्ति त ईश्वरस्य किङ्करा भूत्वा सततम् एतस्मिन् कर्म्मणि निविष्टास्तिष्ठन्ति।

etasmād yuṣmākaṁ rājakaradānamapyucitaṁ yasmād ye karaṁ gṛhlanti ta īśvarasya kiṅkarā bhūtvā satatam etasmin karmmaṇi niviṣṭāstiṣṭhanti|

For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7

अस्मात् करग्राहिणे करं दत्त, तथा शुल्कग्राहिणे शुल्कं दत्त, अपरं यस्माद् भेतव्यं तस्माद् बिभीत, यश्च समादरणीयस्तं समाद्रियध्वम्; इत्थं यस्य यत् प्राप्यं तत् तस्मै दत्त।

asmāt karagrāhiṇe karaṁ datta, tathā śulkagrāhiṇe śulkaṁ datta, aparaṁ yasmād bhetavyaṁ tasmād bibhīta, yaśca samādaraṇīyastaṁ samādriyadhvam; itthaṁ yasya yat prāpyaṁ tat tasmai datta|

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8

युष्माकं परस्परं प्रेम विना ऽन्यत् किमपि देयम् ऋणं न भवतु, यतो यः परस्मिन् प्रेम करोति तेन व्यवस्था सिध्यति।

yuṣmākaṁ parasparaṁ prema vinā 'nyat kimapi deyam ṛṇaṁ na bhavatu, yato yaḥ parasmin prema karoti tena vyavasthā sidhyati|

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9

वस्तुतः परदारान् मा गच्छ, नरहत्यां मा कार्षीः, चैर्य्यं मा कार्षीः, मिथ्यासाक्ष्यं मा देहि, लोभं मा कार्षीः, एताः सर्व्वा आज्ञा एताभ्यो भिन्ना या काचिद् आज्ञास्ति सापि स्वसमीपवासिनि स्ववत् प्रेम कुर्व्वित्यनेन वचनेन वेदिता।

vastutaḥ paradārān mā gaccha, narahatyāṁ mā kārṣīḥ, cairyyaṁ mā kārṣīḥ, mithyāsākṣyaṁ mā dehi, lobhaṁ mā kārṣīḥ, etāḥ sarvvā ājñā etābhyo bhinnā yā kācid ājñāsti sāpi svasamīpavāsini svavat prema kurvvityanena vacanena veditā|

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10

यतः प्रेम समीपवासिनोऽशुभं न जनयति तस्मात् प्रेम्ना सर्व्वा व्यवस्था पाल्यते।

yataḥ prema samīpavāsino'śubhaṁ na janayati tasmāt premnā sarvvā vyavasthā pālyate|

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11

प्रत्ययीभवनकालेऽस्माकं परित्राणस्य सामीप्याद् इदानीं तस्य सामीप्यम् अव्यवहितं; अतः समयं विविच्यास्माभिः साम्प्रतम् अवश्यमेव निद्रातो जागर्त्तव्यं।

pratyayībhavanakāle'smākaṁ paritrāṇasya sāmīpyād idānīṁ tasya sāmīpyam avyavahitaṁ; ataḥ samayaṁ vivicyāsmābhiḥ sāmpratam avaśyameva nidrāto jāgarttavyaṁ|

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12

बहुतरा यामिनी गता प्रभातं सन्निधिं प्राप्तं तस्मात् तामसीयाः क्रियाः परित्यज्यास्माभि र्वासरीया सज्जा परिधातव्या।

bahutarā yāminī gatā prabhātaṁ sannidhiṁ prāptaṁ tasmāt tāmasīyāḥ kriyāḥ parityajyāsmābhi rvāsarīyā sajjā paridhātavyā|

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13

अतो हेतो र्वयं दिवा विहितं सदाचरणम् आचरिष्यामः। रङ्गरसो मत्तत्वं लम्पटत्वं कामुकत्वं विवाद ईर्ष्या चैतानि परित्यक्ष्यामः।

ato heto rvayaṁ divā vihitaṁ sadācaraṇam ācariṣyāmaḥ| raṅgaraso mattatvaṁ lampaṭatvaṁ kāmukatvaṁ vivāda īrṣyā caitāni parityakṣyāmaḥ|

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14

यूयं प्रभुयीशुख्रीष्टरूपं परिच्छदं परिधद्ध्वं सुखाभिलाषपूरणाय शारीरिकाचरणं माचरत।

yūyaṁ prabhuyīśukhrīṣṭarūpaṁ paricchadaṁ paridhaddhvaṁ sukhābhilāṣapūraṇāya śārīrikācaraṇaṁ mācarata|

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
