< Hebrews 12 >
1 We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
१म्हणून, आपण एवढया मोठया साक्षीरुपी मेघाने वेढलेले आहोत म्हणून आपणही सर्व भार व सहज अडवणारे पाप टाकून, आपल्याला नेमून दिलेल्या धावेवरून धीराने धावावे.
2 And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
२जो आमचे विश्वासात नेतृत्व करतो आणि पूर्णत्वास नेतो त्या येशूवर आपले लक्ष केद्रित करू या. जो आनंद त्याच्यासमोर होता त्यासाठी येशूने वधस्तंभ सहन केला होता. वधस्तंभावरील निंदास्पद मरणाला त्याने तुच्छ मानले आणि आता त्याने देवाच्या राजासनाजवळील उजवीकडे जागा घेतली आहे.
3 [Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
३तुम्ही खचून जाऊ नये आणि धीर सोडू नये म्हणून ज्याने पापी लोकांचा इतक्या मोठ्या प्रमाणातील विरोध सहन केला, त्याचा विचार करा.
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
४तुम्ही पापाविरुद्ध झगडत असता रक्त सांडेपर्यंत अजून प्रतिकार केला नाही.
5 Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
५आणि तुम्हास पुत्राप्रमाणे केलेला हा बोध तुम्ही विसरून गेला आहात काय? माझ्या मुला, प्रभूच्या शिक्षेचा अनादर करू नको, आणि त्याच्याकडून दोष पदरी पडला असता खचू नको.
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
६कारण ज्याच्यावर परमेश्वर प्रीती करतो, त्यास तो शिक्षा करतो आणि ज्यांना तो आपले पुत्र म्हणून स्वीकारतो, त्या प्रत्येकांना तो शिक्षा करतो.
7 It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
७हा कठीण समय आहे म्हणून शिस्त सहन करा. ते असे दर्शवते की, देव तुम्हास मुलांसारखी वागणूक देत आहे; कारण असा कोणता मुलगा आहे ज्याला वडील शिस्त लावीत नाहीत?
8 So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
८परंतु ज्या शिक्षेचे सर्व भागीदार झाले आहेत अशा शिक्षेवाचून जर तुम्ही आहा, तर तसे तुम्ही दासीपुत्र आहात आणि तुम्ही खरे पुत्र नाही.
9 Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
९याशिवाय आम्हा सर्वांना जगिक पिता असताना त्यांनी आम्हास शिस्त लावली आणि त्याबद्दल आम्ही त्यांचा आदर राखला. तर मग आम्ही आमच्या आध्यात्मिक पित्याच्या कितीतरी अधिक प्रमाणात अधीन होऊन जगले पाहिजे बरे?
10 Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
१०आमच्या मानवी वडिलांनी त्यांच्या दृष्टीने अती उत्तम अशी शिस्त थोड्या काळासाठी लावली. पण देव आम्हास आमच्या चांगल्यासाठी शिस्त लावतो, यासाठी की, त्याच्या पवित्रपणात आपणही वाटेकरी व्हावे.
11 During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
११कोणतीही शिक्षा तर सध्या आनंदाची वाटत नाही, तर दुःखाची वाटते तरी तिचा अनुभव ज्यांना मिळाला आहे, त्यांना ती पुढे नीतिमत्त्व हे शांतीकारक फळ देते.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
१२म्हणून तुमचे लोंबकळत असलेले हात उंच करा आणि तुमचे लटपटणारे गुडघे बळकट करा!
13 Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
१३तुमच्या पावलांकरीता सरळ वाटा तयार करा यासाठी की, जे लंगडे त्यास मार्गातून घालवले जाऊ नये, तर त्यापेक्षा त्याने निरोगी व्हावे.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
१४सर्व लोकांबरोबर शांतीने राहण्याचा व ज्यावाचून कोणालाही प्रभूला पाहता येत नाही ते पवित्रीकरण मिळवण्याचा झटून प्रयत्न करा.
15 Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
१५तुम्ही सांभाळून राहा, यासाठी की देवाच्या कृपेला कोणी अंतरू नये, ज्यामुळे पुष्कळ जण बिघडून जातील अशा कोणा कडूपणाच्या मुळाने अंकुरीत होऊन तुम्हास उपद्रव देऊ नये,
16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
१६कोणीही व्यभिचारी असू नये किंवा एका जेवणासाठी आपला वडील हक्क विकून टाकणाऱ्या एसावासारखे जगिक विचाराचे असू नये याकडे लक्ष द्या.
17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
१७नंतर तुम्हास माहीत आहे जेव्हा त्यास वारसाहक्काने आशीर्वाद अपेक्षित होता, तेव्हा तो नाकारण्यात आला. जरी त्याने रडून आशीर्वाद मिळविण्याचा प्रयत्न केला, तरी पश्चात्तापाने आपल्या वडिलांचे मन तो बदलू शकला नाही.
18 In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
१८ज्या पर्वताला हाताने स्पर्श करता येतो; जो अग्नीच्या ज्वालांनी पेटलेला आहे, जो अंधार, दुःख व वादळ यांनी भरलेला आहे, अशा पर्वताकडे तुम्ही आला नाही. तर एका नवीन ठिकाणी आला आहात.
19 They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
१९कर्ण्याच्या आवाजाजवळ तुम्ही आला नाहीत किंवा शब्द उच्चारणाऱ्याच्या वाणी याजवळ तुम्ही आला नाही. असा आवाज ज्यांनी ऐकला, देवाकडे त्यांनी अशी विनंती केली की, त्यांनी यापुढे आणखी वाणी ऐकवू नये.
20 When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
२०कारण जी आज्ञा देवाने केली होती ती ते सहन करू शकले नाहीत, “जर एखाद्या प्राण्याने जरी पर्वताला स्पर्श केला तरी त्यास दगडमार करण्यात यावा.”
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
२१खरोखर ते दृश्य इतके भयंकर होते की, मोशे म्हणाला, “मी अति भयभीत” व कंपित झालो आहे.
22 Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
२२परंतु तुम्ही सियोन पर्वताजवळ आणि जिवंत देवाचे नगर म्हणजे स्वर्गीय यरूशलेम, लाखो देवदूत
23 You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
२३स्वर्गातील यादीतल्या ज्येष्ठांचा समाज व मंडळी, सर्वांचा न्यायाधीश देव व पूर्ण केलेल्या नीतिमानांचे आत्मे,
24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.
२४आणि तुम्ही जो नव्या कराराचा मध्यस्थ येशू त्याच्याकडे आला आहात आणि तुम्ही शिंपडण्यात आलेल्या रक्ताकडे आलात की जे रक्त हाबेलाच्या रक्तापेक्षा अधिक उत्तम बोलते.
25 Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]
२५मोशे जो बोलतो आहे त्याचा अवमान करू नये म्हणून जपा कारण पृथ्वीवर आज्ञा सांगणाऱ्याचा अवमान करणारे इस्राएल लोक जर निभावले नाहीत, तर स्वर्गातून आज्ञा सांगणाऱ्या ख्रिस्तापासून बहकल्यास आपण विशेषेकरून निभावणार नाही.
26 The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”
२६त्यावेळेस देवाच्या आवाजाने भूमी हादरली पण आता त्याने असे अभिवचन दिले आहे की, “पुन्हा एकदा मी केवळ पृथ्वीच नव्हे तर आकाशही हालवीन.”
27 The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
२७“पुन्हा एकदा” याचा अर्थ असा होतो की, ज्या गोष्टी उत्पन्न केलेल्या आहेत त्या काढून टाकण्यात येतील. ज्या गोष्टी हलवता येत नाहीत त्या तशाच राहतील.
28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
२८म्हणून, आम्हास अढळ असे राज्य कृपेने देण्यात येत असताना आपण त्याविषयी कृतज्ञता बाळगू या आणि आदराने व भयभीत होऊन देवाला मान्य होईल अशी त्याची सेवा करू;
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
२९कारण आपला “देव भस्म करणारा अग्नी आहे.”
