< Romans 6 >
1 What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
हामी अब के भनौँ त? के अनुग्रह प्रशस्त होस् भनेर हामीले पाप गरिरहने त?
2 Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस् । हामी जो पापप्रति मर्यौँ हामी यसमा कसरी जिउने?
3 Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
के जतिलाई ख्रीष्ट येशूमा बप्तिस्मा दिइएका छन् उनीहरूलाई उहाँको मृत्युमा बप्तिस्मा दिइएका छन् भन्ने तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ?
4 Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
हामी बप्तिस्माद्वारा मृत्युमा उहाँसँगै गाडियौँ । ताकि जसरी ख्रीष्ट पिताको महिमाद्वारा मृतकहरूबाट जीवित पारिनुभयो, त्यसरी नै हामी जीवनको नवीनतामा हिँड्न सकौँ ।
5 If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
किनकि यदि हामी उहाँको मृत्युको स्वरूपमा एक भएका छौँ भने हामी उहाँको पुनरुत्थानमा पनि एक हुनेछौँ ।
6 We recognize the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
हामी जन्दछौँ, कि हाम्रो पुरानो मनुष्यत्वलाई उहाँसँगै क्रुसमा टाँगिएको थियो, ताकि पापको शरीरलाई नाश गर्न सकियोस्; ताकि हामी पापको दास बन्न नपरोस् ।
7 For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
जो मरेको छ, पापको सम्बन्धमा त्यसलाई धर्मी घोषित गरिन्छ ।
8 And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
तर यदि हामी ख्रीष्टसँग मरेका छौँ भने, हामी विश्वास गर्छौं, कि हामी पनि उहाँसँगै जिउनेछौँ ।
9 We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि ख्रीष्ट मृतकबाट जीवित पारिनुभएको छ र अब उहाँ मृत हुनुहुन्न । अब मृत्युले उहाँमाथि राज्य गर्दैन ।
10 For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
मृत्युको विषयमा उहाँ पापको लागि मर्नुभयो, उहाँ एकै पल्ट हामी सबैका लागि मर्नुभयो । तथापि जुन जीवन उहाँ जिउनुहुन्छ, त्यो उहाँले परमेश्वरको निम्ति जिउनुहुन्छ ।
11 So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
त्यसै गरी, तिमीहरूले पनि पापको निम्ति मरेको, तर ख्रीष्ट येशूमा परमेश्वरमा जीवित ठान्नुपर्छ ।
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
त्यसकारण, तिमीहरूको मरणशील शरीरमा पापलाई राज्य गर्न नदेओ, ताकि तिमीहरूले त्यसको अभिलाषालाई मान्न परोस् ।
13 Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
आफ्नो शरीरका अङ्गहरूलाई अधार्मिकताका साधनहरूको रूपमा प्रयोग गर्न नदेओ । तर आफैँलाई परमेश्वरको निम्ति अहिले जिइरहेको मृतकको रूपमा देओ । अनि आफ्नो शरीरका अङ्गहरूलाई परमेश्वरको लागि धार्मिक साधनको रूपमा प्रयोग गर्नलाई देओ ।
14 For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
पापलाई आफूमाथि राज्य गर्न नदेओ । किनकि तिमीहरू व्यवस्थामा छैनौ, तर अनुग्रहमा छौ ।
15 What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
त्यसो भए के त? के हामी व्यवस्थामा छैनौँ, तर अनुग्रहमा छौँ भनेर हामी पाप गरौँ त? कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस् ।
16 Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
के तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ, जसको निम्ति तिमीहरूले आफैँलाई नोकरको रूपमा दिन्छौ त्यसप्रति तिमीहरू आज्ञाकारी हुनुपर्छ अर्थात् त्यसको आज्ञा पालन गर्नुपर्छ? यो सत्य हो, कि या तिमीहरू मृत्युमा पुर्याउने पापका नोकरहरू हौ या धार्मिकतामा पुर्याउने आज्ञाकारिताका सेवकहरू हौ ।
17 God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
तर परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद होस्! तिमीहरू पापका नोकरहरू थियौ, तर तिमीहरूले आफूलाई दिइएको शिक्षाको ढाँचालाई आफ्नो हृदयदेखि नै पालन गर्यौ ।
18 Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
तिमीहरूलाई पापबाट छुटकारा दिइएको छ र तिमीहरूलाई धार्मिकताको सेवक बनाइएको छ ।
19 I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
म तिमीहरूको शरीरको कमजोरीको कारणले बोल्ने मानिसझैँ बोल्छु । किनकि जसरी तिमीहरूले आफ्नो शरीरका अङ्गहरू अशुद्धता र दुष्टका नोकरहरूको रूपमा दियौ; त्यसरी नै अब शुद्धिकरणको निम्ति आफ्ना शरीरका अङ्गहरूलाई धार्मिकताको सेवकको रूपमा देओ ।
20 While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
किनकि तिमीहरू पापका दासहरू हुँदा, तिमीहरू धार्मिकताबाट स्वतन्त्र थियौ ।
21 But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
त्यति बेला अहिले तिमीहरू लज्जित हुनुपर्ने थोकहरूका कस्ता-कस्ता फलहरू तिमीहरूसित थिए? किनकि ती कुराहरूको परिणाम मृत्यु हो ।
22 But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios )
तर अब तिमीहरूलाई पापबाट मुक्त गराइएको छ, अनि परमेश्वरको दास बनाइएको छ र तिमीहरूसित शुद्धिकरणको फल छ । (aiōnios )
23 The wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through union with Christ Jesus, our Lord. (aiōnios )
किनकि पापको ज्याला मृत्यु हो, तर परमेश्वरको सित्तैँको वरदानचाहिँ हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टमा अनन्त जीवन हो । (aiōnios )
