Romans 9
1 I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
म येशू ख्रीष्टमा साँचो भन्दछु । म ढाँट्दिनँ, र मेरो विवेकले पवित्र आत्मामा मसँगै साक्षी दिन्छ,
2 that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,
कि मेरो लागि मेरो हृदयमा असाध्य कष्ट र अटुट पीडा छ ।
3 for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
म इच्छा गर्थें, कि मेरा भाइहरू अर्थात् शरीरअनुसार आफ्नै जातिका खातिर म आफैँचाहिँ श्रापित होऊँ र ख्रीष्टबाट अलग गरिऊँ ।
4 who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;
तिनीहरू इस्राएलीहरू हुन् । धर्मपुत्र हुने अधिकार, महिमा, करारहरू, व्यवस्थाको उपहार, परमेश्वरको आराधना र प्रतिज्ञाहरू उनीहरूकै हुन् ।
5 whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ख्रीष्टको शरीरअनुसार ख्रीष्ट आउनुभएका पुर्खाहरू तिनीहरूकै हुन् । उहाँ नै सबैका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । सदासर्वदा उहाँको प्रशंसा भइरहोस् । आमेन । (aiōn g165)
6 Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
तर यो परमेश्वरका प्रतिज्ञाहरू चुकेकोजस्तो होइन, किनकि इस्राएलका सबै साँचो रूपमा इस्राएलका होइनन् ।
7 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
न त अब्राहामका सबै सन्तानहरू साँचो रूपमा उनका सन्तानहरू नै हुन् । तर, “इसहाकबाट नै तेरा सन्तानहरू भनिनेछन् ।”
8 That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
अर्थात् शरीरबाट जन्मेका सन्तानहरू परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू होइनन् । तर प्रतिज्ञाका सन्तानहरू नै सन्तानहरूका रूपमा गनिन्छन् ।
9 For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
किनकि प्रतिज्ञाको वचन यही हो, “म यही समयमा आउनेछु र सारालाई एउटा छोरो दिइनेछ ।”
10 And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
यति मात्र होइन, तर रिबेका पनि एक जना व्यक्ति अर्थात् हाम्रा पिता इसहाकबाट गर्भवती भएपछि–
11 [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
किनकि सन्तानहरू अझ जन्मेका थिएनन् र उनीहरूले कुनै असल वा खराब केही गरेका थिएनन्, ताकि परमेश्वरको उद्देश्य कर्महरूका कारण होइन, तर बोलाउनुहुनेको कारणले चुनाउअनुसार ठहरियोस् भनेर
12 it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “जेठोले कान्छोको सेवा गर्नेछ ।”
13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
जस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “मैले याकूबलाई प्रेम गरेँ, तर एसावलाई घृणा गरेँ ।”
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
त्यसो हो भने, हामी के भनौँ त? के परमेश्वरसित अधार्मिकता छ त? कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस् ।
15 For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
किनकि उहाँ मोशालाई भन्नुहुन्छ, “जसमाथि म दया देखाउन चाहन्छु, त्यसमाथि म दया देखाउँछु, र जसमाथि म करुणा देखाउन चाहन्छु, त्यसमाथि म करुणा देखाउँछु ।”
16 So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
त्यसैले, यो इच्छा गर्नेको कारणले होइन, न त दौडनेको कारणले नै हो, तर दया देखाउनुहुने परमेश्वरको कारणले नै हो ।
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
किनकि धर्मशास्त्रले फारोलाई भन्छ, “यही उद्देश्यको निम्ति मैले तँलाई खडा गरेँ, ताकि मैले तँमा मेरो शक्ति प्रदर्शन गर्न सकूँ, र सारा पृथ्वीमा मेरो नाउँ घोषणा गरियोस् ।”
18 So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
त्यसैले, परमेश्वरले जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई दया गर्नुहुन्छ र जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई कठोर पनि बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
19 Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
तब तिमीहरूले मलाई भन्नेछौ, “उहाँले किन अझ पनि गल्ती नै भेट्टाउनुहुन्छ त?”
20 Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
त्यसको विपरीत, हे मानिस, परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा जवाफहरू दिने तिमी को हौ? के आकार दिइएको थोकले आकार दिनेलाई यसो भन्छ, “तिमीले मलाई किन यस्तो बनाएको?”
21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
के कुमालेसित उही माटोको डल्लोबाट विशेष प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो र दैनिक प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो बनाउने अधिकार हुँदैन र?
22 And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction;
परमेश्वरले नै उहाँको क्रोध प्रकट गर्न र विनाशको निम्ति तयार पारिएका भाँडाहरूलाई निकै धैर्यसाथ सहिरहने इच्छा गरिरहनुभएको छ भने के त?
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
यदि उहाँले पहिलेबाट नै महिमाको निम्ति तयार पार्नुभएको दयाका भाँडाहरूमाथि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट गर्न यसो गर्नुभएको हो भने के त?
24 us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
यदि उहाँले यो हाम्रो निम्ति अर्थात् यहूदीहरूबाट मात्र होइन, तर गैरयहूदीहरूबाट बोलाउनुभएकाहरूका निम्ति यो गर्नुभएको हो भने के त?
25 As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved.
जसरी उहाँ होशेको पुस्तकमा भन्नुहुन्छ, “जो मेरा मानिसहरू थिएनन्, म तिनीहरूलाई मेरा मानिसहरू भन्नेछु, र जो प्रिय थिएनन् तिनलाई प्रिय भन्नेछु ।
26 And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God.
र त्यस्तो हुनेछ, कि जहाँ तिनीहरूलाई भनियो, ‘तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू होइनौ’, त्यहाँ तिनीहरू ‘जीवित परमेश्वरका छोराहरू’ भनिनेछन् ।”
27 But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
यशैया इस्राएलको विषयमा भन्छन्, “यदि इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सङ्ख्या समुद्रको बालुवाजत्ति थिए भने बचाइएकाहरू बाँकी रहेकाहरू मात्र हुनेछन् ।
28 for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
किनभने प्रभुले आफ्नो वचन पृथ्वीमा चाँडै र पूर्ण रूपमा पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ,
29 And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
अनि यशैयाले अगाडि नै भने, “यदि सेनाहरूका प्रभुले हाम्रा निम्ति सन्तानहरू छोड्नुभएको थिएन भने, हामी सदोम र गमोराजस्ता हुने थियौँ ।”
30 What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
त्यसो भए, हामी के भनौँ त? गैरयहूदीहरू जसले धार्मिकतालाई पछ्याइरहेका थिएनन्, तिनीहरूले धार्मिकता अर्थात् विश्वासद्वारा आउने धार्मिकता प्राप्त गरे ।
31 But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
तर इस्राएलीहरू, जो व्यवस्थाको धार्मिकताको पछि लागे, तिनीहरू यसमा आइपुगेनन् ।
32 Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
किन पाएनन् त? किनकि तिनीहरूले विश्वासद्वारा खोजेनन्, तर कर्मद्वारा खोजे । तिनीहरू ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गामा ठेस खाए,
33 according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
जस्तो लेखिएको छ, “हेर, मैले सियोनमा एउटा ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गा र चोट लाग्ने चट्टान राख्दै छु । जसले यसमा विश्वास गर्छ त्यो लज्जित हुनेछैन ।”
