Romans 7
1 Surely, friends, you know (for I am speaking to people who know what Law means) that Law has power over a person only as long as they lives.
भाइ हो, के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन (किनकि म व्यवस्था जान्नेहरूसित बोल्दै छु), कि व्यवस्थाले मानिस जीवित रहँदासम्म मात्र नियन्त्रण गर्छ?
2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband while he is living; but, if her husband dies, she is set free from the law that bound her to him.
किनकि एक विवाहित स्त्री आफ्नो पति जीवित रहँदासम्म व्यवस्थाद्वारा बाँधिएकी हुन्छे, तर यदि उसको पति मर्यो भने ऊ त्यो विवाहको व्यवस्थाबाट मुक्त हुन्छे ।
3 If, then, during her husband’s lifetime, she unites herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but, if her husband dies, the law has no further hold on her, nor, if she unites herself to another man, is she an adulteress.
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 And so with you, my friends; as far as the Law was concerned, you underwent death in the crucified body of the Christ, so that you might be united to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that our lives might bear fruit for 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 When we were living merely earthly lives, our sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were active in every part of our bodies, with the result that our lives bore fruit for death.
किनकि जब हामी शरीरमा थियौँ, व्यवस्थाद्वारा मृत्युको निम्ति फल फलाउन हाम्रा अङ्गहरूमा पापमय स्वभावहरू सक्रिय गराइए ।
6 But now we are set free from the Law, because we are dead to that which once kept us under restraint; and so we serve under new, spiritual conditions, and not under old, written regulations.
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 are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say ‘You must not covet,’ I should not know what it is to 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 took advantage of the commandment to arouse in me every form of covetousness, for where there is no consciousness of Law sin shows no sign of life.
तर पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका पायो अनि ममा हर किसिमको अभिलाषा ल्यायो । किनकि व्यवस्थाविना पाप मरेतुल्य हुन्छ ।
9 There was a time when I myself, unconscious of Law, was alive; but when the commandment was brought home to me, sin sprang into life, while I died!
एक समय म व्यवस्थाविना जीवित थिएँ, तर जब आज्ञा आयो, पापले पुनः जीवन पायो र म मरेँ ।
10 The commandment that should have meant life I found to result in death!
जीवन ल्याउनुपर्ने आज्ञा मेरो निम्ति मृत्युमा परिणत हुन पुग्यो ।
11 Sin took advantage of the commandment to deceive me, and used it to bring about my death.
किनकि पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका छोप्यो र मलाई छल गर्यो । नियमहरूद्वारा यसले मलाई मार्यो ।
12 And so the Law is holy, and each commandment is also holy, and just, and good.
त्यसैले, व्यवस्था पवित्र छ, अनि आज्ञा पवित्र, धार्मिक र असल छ ।
13 Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is.
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 We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly – sold into slavery to sin.
हामी जान्दछौँ, कि व्यवस्था आत्मिक हो, तर म शारीरिक हुँ । म पापको दासत्वमा बेचिएको छु ।
15 I do not understand my own actions. For I am so far from habitually doing what I want to do, that I find myself doing the thing that I hate.
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 But when I do what I want not to do, I am admitting that the Law is right.
तर म जे चाहँदिनँ म त्यही गर्छु भने, व्यवस्था असल हो भनी म व्यवस्थासँग सहमत हुन्छु ।
17 This being so, the action is no longer my own, but is done by the sin which is within me.
तर अब यो गर्ने म होइन, तर ममा रहने पाप हो ।
18 I know that there is nothing good in me – I mean in my earthly nature. For, although it is easy for me to want to do right, to act rightly is not easy.
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 I fail to do the good thing that I want to do, but the bad thing that I want not to do – that I habitually do.
किनकि मैले चाहेको असल थोक म गर्दिनँ, तर म जुन खराब कुरो गर्न चाहन्नँ, म त्यही गर्छु ।
20 But, when I do the thing that I want not to do, the action is no longer my own, but is done by the sin which is within me.
अब म जे गर्न चाहँदिनँ त्यही गर्छु भने, यो गरिरहने म होइन, तर ममा बास गर्ने पाप हो ।
21 This, then, is the law that I find – when I want to do right, wrong presents itself!
तब मैले ममा असल गर्ने सिद्धान्त भेट्टाउँछु, तर ममा दुष्ट वास्तवमै उपस्थित भएको पाउँछु ।
22 At heart I delight in the Law of God;
किनकि म भित्री मनुष्यत्वसँगै परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामा आनन्द मनाउँछु ।
23 but throughout my body I see a different law, one which is in conflict with the law accepted by my reason, and which endeavors to make me a prisoner to that law of sin which exists throughout my body.
तर मैले मेरा अङ्गहरूमा फरक सिद्धान्त देख्छु । यसले मेरो मनको नयाँ सिद्धान्तसँग लड्छ । मेरा अङ्गहरूमा भएको सिद्धान्तद्वारा यसले मलाई पापको कैदी बनाउँछ ।
24 Miserable man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body that is bringing me to this death?
म दुःखि मानिस हुँ! मलाई यो मृत्युको शरीरबाट कसले छुटकारा देला?
25 Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature 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 ।
