< Romans 7 >
1 Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?
भाइ हो, के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन (किनकि म व्यवस्था जान्नेहरूसित बोल्दै छु), कि व्यवस्थाले मानिस जीवित रहँदासम्म मात्र नियन्त्रण गर्छ?
2 For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
किनकि एक विवाहित स्त्री आफ्नो पति जीवित रहँदासम्म व्यवस्थाद्वारा बाँधिएकी हुन्छे, तर यदि उसको पति मर्यो भने ऊ त्यो विवाहको व्यवस्थाबाट मुक्त हुन्छे ।
3 Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband; so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with another man.
त्यस्तै, उसको पति जीवित हुँदा ऊ अर्को पुरुषसँग बसी भने, उसलाई व्यभिचारिणी स्त्री भनिनेछ । तर उसको पति मर्यो भने, ऊ त्यस व्यवस्थाबाट मुक्त हुन्छे, अनि अर्को पुरुषसँग बसी भने पनि ऊ व्यभिचारिणी हुँदिन ।
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ; that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.
त्यसैले, मेरा भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू पनि ख्रीष्टको शरीरद्वारा व्यवस्थाको निम्ति मरेका थियौ । हामीले परमेश्वरको निम्ति फल फलाउन सकौँ भनेर तिमीहरू अर्कैसँग अर्थात् मृतकहरूबाट जीवित पारिनुभएकासँग एक हुन सक्यौ ।
5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death.
किनकि जब हामी शरीरमा थियौँ, व्यवस्थाद्वारा मृत्युको निम्ति फल फलाउन हाम्रा अङ्गहरूमा पापमय स्वभावहरू सक्रिय गराइए ।
6 But now we are loosed from the law of death, wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
तर अब हामी व्यवस्थाबाट स्वतन्त्र पारिएका छौँ । हामीलाई जुन कुराले बाँधेको थियो, त्यसको निम्ति हामी मरेका छौँ । हामीले पुरानो विधानमा होइन, तर पवित्र आत्माको नयाँपनमा सेवा गर्न सकौँ भनेर यसो भएको हो ।
7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
त्यसो भए, हामी के भनौँ त? के व्यवस्था आफैँ पाप हो? यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस् । तथापि यदि व्यवस्था नभएको भए मैले कहिल्यै पाप जान्ने थिइनँ । किनकि यदि व्यवस्थाले, “तैँले लोभ नगर्” नभनेसम्म मैले लोभ के हो भनी कहिल्यै जान्ने थिइनँ ।
8 But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
तर पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका पायो अनि ममा हर किसिमको अभिलाषा ल्यायो । किनकि व्यवस्थाविना पाप मरेतुल्य हुन्छ ।
9 And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
एक समय म व्यवस्थाविना जीवित थिएँ, तर जब आज्ञा आयो, पापले पुनः जीवन पायो र म मरेँ ।
10 And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
जीवन ल्याउनुपर्ने आज्ञा मेरो निम्ति मृत्युमा परिणत हुन पुग्यो ।
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
किनकि पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका छोप्यो र मलाई छल गर्यो । नियमहरूद्वारा यसले मलाई मार्यो ।
12 Wherefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
त्यसैले, व्यवस्था पवित्र छ, अनि आज्ञा पवित्र, धार्मिक र असल छ ।
13 Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
त्यसैले, के जे असल छ त्यो मेरो निम्ति मृत्यु बन्यो? यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस् । तर पापलाई पाप नै देखाउन सकियोस् भनी जे असल थियो त्यसद्वारा ममा मृत्यु ल्याइयो । आज्ञाद्वारा यस्तो भयो, ताकि पाप अत्यधिक पापमय बन्न सकोस् ।
14 For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि व्यवस्था आत्मिक हो, तर म शारीरिक हुँ । म पापको दासत्वमा बेचिएको छु ।
15 For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.
किनभने म जे गर्छु, त्यो म वास्तवमा बुझ्दिनँ । किनकि म जे गर्न चाहन्छु, त्यो म गर्दिनँ; अनि म जेलाई घृणा गर्छु, म त्यही गर्छु ।
16 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
तर म जे चाहँदिनँ म त्यही गर्छु भने, व्यवस्था असल हो भनी म व्यवस्थासँग सहमत हुन्छु ।
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
तर अब यो गर्ने म होइन, तर ममा रहने पाप हो ।
18 For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.
किनकि म जान्दछु, कि ममा अर्थात् मेरो शरीरमा कुनै पनि असल थोक बास गर्दैन । किनकि ममा असल गर्ने इच्छा छ, तर म यो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
19 For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.
किनकि मैले चाहेको असल थोक म गर्दिनँ, तर म जुन खराब कुरो गर्न चाहन्नँ, म त्यही गर्छु ।
20 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
अब म जे गर्न चाहँदिनँ त्यही गर्छु भने, यो गरिरहने म होइन, तर ममा बास गर्ने पाप हो ।
21 I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
तब मैले ममा असल गर्ने सिद्धान्त भेट्टाउँछु, तर ममा दुष्ट वास्तवमै उपस्थित भएको पाउँछु ।
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:
किनकि म भित्री मनुष्यत्वसँगै परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामा आनन्द मनाउँछु ।
23 But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.
तर मैले मेरा अङ्गहरूमा फरक सिद्धान्त देख्छु । यसले मेरो मनको नयाँ सिद्धान्तसँग लड्छ । मेरा अङ्गहरूमा भएको सिद्धान्तद्वारा यसले मलाई पापको कैदी बनाउँछ ।
24 Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
म दुःखि मानिस हुँ! मलाई यो मृत्युको शरीरबाट कसले छुटकारा देला?
25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
तर हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद होस्! त्यसैले, म आफैँले मेरो मनले परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाको सेवा गर्छु । तापनि शरीरले म पापको सिद्धान्तको सेवा गर्छु ।
