Galatians 2
1 After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
१चौदह वर्ष के बाद मैं बरनबास के साथ यरूशलेम को गया और तीतुस को भी साथ ले गया।
2 But [I tell you that] I went up there because of what God revealed to me. [It was not because someone there asked me to come]. I told people what was the good message that I was preaching in regions where non-Jews live. But I talked privately to those whom your new teachers highly respect. I did that in order that what I was doing and what I had done [MET] might not become useless [MET] [as a result of people rejecting my message because they thought that I was teaching something that was not true].
२और मेरा जाना ईश्वरीय प्रकाश के अनुसार हुआ और जो सुसमाचार मैं अन्यजातियों में प्रचार करता हूँ, उसको मैंने उन्हें बता दिया, पर एकान्त में उन्हीं को जो बड़े समझे जाते थे, ताकि ऐसा न हो, कि मेरी इस समय की, या पिछली भाग-दौड़ व्यर्थ ठहरे।
3 But [even though the leaders of the believers usually insisted that when non-Jews trusted in Christ someone must circumcise them], they did not even insist that Titus be circumcised, even though he was a Greek man who was with me.
३परन्तु तीतुस भी जो मेरे साथ था और जो यूनानी है; खतना कराने के लिये विवश नहीं किया गया।
4 [I talked to them privately] because some people [successfully] pretended that they were fellow believers and associated with the true believers. They did that in order that they might observe closely what we do because we are free [from having to obey all the Jewish laws and rituals] because of our close relationship with Christ Jesus [MET]. Those people wanted to make us [like] slaves [MET] [of those rituals by convincing us that we cannot trust Christ solely but that we must also obey all the Jewish rituals].
४और यह उन झूठे भाइयों के कारण हुआ, जो चोरी से घुस आए थे, कि उस स्वतंत्रता का जो मसीह यीशु में हमें मिली है, भेद कर, हमें दास बनाएँ।
5 But not even briefly did we [(exc)] do what they wanted [about circumcision. We(exc) resisted them] in order that the truth of the message about Christ might continue to [benefit] you.
५उनके अधीन होना हमने एक घड़ी भर न माना, इसलिए कि सुसमाचार की सच्चाई तुम में बनी रहे।
6 The [leaders in Jerusalem], whom your new teachers respect, did not add anything to what I preach. [And I would add that] what status those leaders had did not influence me, because God does not favor certain/important persons [IDM] more than others.
६फिर जो लोग कुछ समझे जाते थे वे चाहे कैसे भी थे, मुझे इससे कुछ काम नहीं, परमेश्वर किसी का पक्षपात नहीं करता उनसे मुझे कुछ भी नहीं प्राप्त हुआ।
7 Instead of those leaders adding to the message that I tell people, they understood that I had been given the good message {God had given the good message to me} so that I might proclaim it to the non-Jews [MTY], just like [God] had given the good message to Peter so that he might tell it to those who are Jews [MTY].
७परन्तु इसके विपरीत उन्होंने देखा, कि जैसा खतना किए हुए लोगों के लिये सुसमाचार का काम पतरस को सौंपा गया वैसा ही खतनारहितों के लिये मुझे सुसमाचार सुनाना सौंपा गया।
8 That is, just like [God] had empowered/authorized Peter in order that he might be an apostle [to bring God’s message] to the Jews [MTY], he also had empowered/authorized me in order that I might be an apostle to [bring his message to] the non-Jews.
८क्योंकि जिसने पतरस से खतना किए हुओं में प्रेरिताई का कार्य बड़े प्रभाव सहित करवाया, उसी ने मुझसे भी अन्यजातियों में प्रभावशाली कार्य करवाया।
9 And [those leaders] knew that God had kindly given to me this special work. So James, Peter, and John, the ones whom your new teachers [respect because they are] leaders [MET] [of the believers], shook hands with us [IDM] [to show that they agreed that Barnabas and I are serving the Lord just like they are, and that we are preaching the same message that they are preaching]. They also agreed that we [(exc)] are the ones whom God was sending to [tell his message to] non-Jews, but that God is sending them to [tell his message to] Jews [MTY].
९और जब उन्होंने उस अनुग्रह को जो मुझे मिला था जान लिया, तो याकूब, और कैफा, और यूहन्ना ने जो कलीसिया के खम्भे समझे जाते थे, मुझ को और बरनबास को संगति का दाहिना हाथ देकर संग कर लिया, कि हम अन्यजातियों के पास जाएँ, और वे खतना किए हुओं के पास।
10 They merely urged that we [(exc)] still remember to help the poor [fellow believers who live in Jerusalem]. That is exactly what I have been eager to do.
१०केवल यह कहा, कि हम कंगालों की सुधि लें, और इसी काम को करने का मैं आप भी यत्न कर रहा था।
11 But [later while I was at] Antioch [city], after Peter came there, I told him directly [SYN] that what he was doing was wrong.
११पर जब कैफा अन्ताकिया में आया तो मैंने उसके मुँह पर उसका सामना किया, क्योंकि वह दोषी ठहरा था।
12 [This is what happened]: [Peter went to Antioch and started eating regularly with non-Jewish believers there]. Later there were certain [Jewish believers who] came [to Antioch who claimed that] James, [the leader of the congregations in Jerusalem], had sent them. But when [those certain] men came, Peter gradually quit [eating] with the non-Jewish believers and would not associate with them. He was afraid that the Jewish [believers from Jerusalem would criticize him for associating with non-Jews].
१२इसलिए कि याकूब की ओर से कुछ लोगों के आने से पहले वह अन्यजातियों के साथ खाया करता था, परन्तु जब वे आए, तो खतना किए हुए लोगों के डर के मारे उनसे हट गया और किनारा करने लगा।
13 Also, the other Jewish [believers who were in Antioch] [SYN] acted (insincerely/in a way that they knew was not right) along with [Peter]. The result was that they convinced even Barnabas to [stop associating with the non-Jewish believers]!
१३और उसके साथ शेष यहूदियों ने भी कपट किया, यहाँ तक कि बरनबास भी उनके कपट में पड़ गया।
14 But when I realized that they were not acting according to the truth of the message about Christ, [when] all [the fellow believers there] were present, I told Peter [the following]: “Although you [(sg)] are a Jew, [you often conduct yourself] like non-Jews [do by disregarding Jewish laws about food. When you are among non-Jews], you [(sg)] do not customarily conduct yourself at all like Jews [do]. So, (now it is wrong that you [(sg)] are causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs!/why are you [(sg)] causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs?) [RHQ]”
१४पर जब मैंने देखा, कि वे सुसमाचार की सच्चाई पर सीधी चाल नहीं चलते, तो मैंने सब के सामने कैफा से कहा, “जब तू यहूदी होकर अन्यजातियों के समान चलता है, और यहूदियों के समान नहीं तो तू अन्यजातियों को यहूदियों के समान चलने को क्यों कहता है?”
15 Some of us [believers] were born as Jews. We [(exc)] were not born as non-Jews. [We Jews have always considered non-Jews to be] ‘sinners’ [because they do not obey the Jewish rituals and laws].
१५हम जो जन्म के यहूदी हैं, और पापी अन्यजातियों में से नहीं।
16 But we [(exc)] now know that it is not because some person obeys the laws [that God gave to Moses] that [God] erases the record of that person’s sins. [God erases the record of a person’s sins only if that person trusts in what Jesus Christ has done]. Even we [(exc)] Jews trusted Christ Jesus. We [(exc)] did that in order that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our trusting Christ, and not because of our obeying the laws [that God gave to Moses. God has said that] he will [never] erase the record of people’s sins just because of their obeying those laws.
१६तो भी यह जानकर कि मनुष्य व्यवस्था के कामों से नहीं, पर केवल यीशु मसीह पर विश्वास करने के द्वारा धर्मी ठहरता है, हमने आप भी मसीह यीशु पर विश्वास किया, कि हम व्यवस्था के कामों से नहीं पर मसीह पर विश्वास करने से धर्मी ठहरें; इसलिए कि व्यवस्था के कामों से कोई प्राणी धर्मी न ठहरेगा।
17 Furthermore, because we [(exc) Jews] desired that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our relationship with Christ, [it means that] we realized that we ourselves were sinners [like non-Jews, whom we called] sinners, [because we(exc) also were not obeying the Jewish rituals and laws]. [But] ([we(inc) certainly cannot conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin./[should we conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin?) [RHQ] [No, Christ] certainly does not [cause anyone to sin].
१७हम जो मसीह में धर्मी ठहरना चाहते हैं, यदि आप ही पापी निकलें, तो क्या मसीह पाप का सेवक है? कदापि नहीं!
18 So if I should again believe [that God would erase the record of my sins because of my obeying the laws that he gave to Moses] [MET], [I would be like a man who] rebuilds an old building that he tore down. It would [soon] be clear that I am one who disobeys those same laws [that God gave to Moses].
१८क्योंकि जो कुछ मैंने गिरा दिया, यदि उसी को फिर बनाता हूँ, तो अपने आपको अपराधी ठहराता हूँ।
19 When [I realized that I could not earn God’s favor] by [obeying] the laws [that he gave to Moses, I decided not] to [respond to what those laws demanded] [MET], [just like] a dead person [does not respond to anything]. Now I live to [honor/serve] God.
१९मैं तो व्यवस्था के द्वारा व्यवस्था के लिये मर गया, कि परमेश्वर के लिये जीऊँ।
20 [It is as though] I was with Christ when he was crucified {died on the cross} [MET] (OR, [It is as though] my [old way of life ended when] Christ died on the cross.) No longer am I [directing the way I behave as I did before I believed in Christ]. Now Christ [is directing how] I [behave. And whatever I do] now while I live, I do it trusting in God’s Son. He is the one who loved me and offered himself [as a sacrifice] for me.
२०मैं मसीह के साथ क्रूस पर चढ़ाया गया हूँ, और अब मैं जीवित न रहा, पर मसीह मुझ में जीवित है: और मैं शरीर में अब जो जीवित हूँ तो केवल उस विश्वास से जीवित हूँ, जो परमेश्वर के पुत्र पर है, जिसने मुझसे प्रेम किया, और मेरे लिये अपने आपको दे दिया।
21 I am not rejecting [as useless] what God [did for me] ([kindly/that I did not deserve]), [as my opponents are doing. I fully accept that God saved me by acting kindly towards me]. If it is because people [obey the] laws [that God gave to Moses] that God erases the record of their sins, then Christ died (for nothing/needlessly).
२१मैं परमेश्वर के अनुग्रह को व्यर्थ नहीं ठहराता, क्योंकि यदि व्यवस्था के द्वारा धार्मिकता होती, तो मसीह का मरना व्यर्थ होता।
