Romans 7
1 My fellow believers, you know about laws. So you certainly know (OR, I want you to remember) that people have to obey laws [PRS] [only] while [they are] alive. [RHQ]
१बंधूंनो, (नियमशास्त्राची माहीती असणार्‍यांशी मी बोलत आहे) मनुष्य जोपर्यंत जिवंत आहे तोपर्यंत त्याच्यावर नियमशास्त्राची सत्ता आहे हे तुम्ही जाणत नाही काय?
2 For example, a woman is required by the law {the law requires a woman} [to obey and be faithful to her husband] as long as he is alive. But if her husband dies, she is freed [from having to] {[no longer has to]} [obey] the law about [remaining married to] her husband.
२कारण ज्या स्त्रीला पती आहे, ती पती जिवंत आहे तोपर्यंत त्यास नियमशास्त्राने बांधलेली असते; पण तिचा पती मरण पावला, तर पतीच्या नियमातून ती मुक्त होते.
3 Therefore, a woman will be called {people will call a woman} an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she no longer [has to obey] that law. Then she will not be an adulteress if she marries another man.
३म्हणून पती जिवंत असताना, जर ती दुसर्‍या पुरुषाची झाली तर तिला व्यभिचारिणी हे नाव मिळेल. पण तिचा पती मरण पावला तर ती त्या नियमातून मुक्त होते. मग ती दुसर्‍या पुरुषाची झाली तरी ती व्यभिचारिणी होत नाही.
4 Likewise, my fellow believers, [just like people are free from having to obey any law after they die] [MET], you [and I] have been freed {[God] has freed you [and me]} from having [to obey] all the Jewish rituals and laws [MET]. [That is because it is as though] we died with Christ [when he was crucified]. Now you [and I] belong to someone else [MET], [like a woman who marries again after her husband dies belongs to another man]. Specifically, you [and I] belong to [Christ], who has come back to life {whom [God] has caused to live again after he died}, in order that we may live righteously [IDM] to [honor] God.
४आणि म्हणून, माझ्या बंधूंनो, तुम्हीपण ख्रिस्ताच्या शरीराद्वारे नियमशास्त्राला मरण पावलेले झाला आहात; म्हणजे तुम्ही दुसर्‍याचे, जो मरण पावलेल्यातून उठवला गेला त्याचे व्हावे; म्हणजे आपण देवाला फळ द्यावे.
5 When our self-directed nature [controlled] us, desires [that led us to] sin were acting in our bodies. [Those desires were increased because of our knowing God’s] laws [PRS]. As a result [we did evil things] [IDM] [that] caused us to be separated from God.
५कारण आपण देहाधीन असताना नियमशास्त्रामुळे उद्भवलेल्या आपल्या पापांच्या भावना आपल्या अवयवात, मरणाला फळ देण्यास कार्य करीत होत्या.
6 But now we are freed {free} from [having to obey all the Jewish] rituals— [it is as though] we have died. The result is that now we are not controlled by those rituals {those rituals do not control us now}. So we serve God, not by [having to obey] those rituals, which is the old way, but in the new way, as [God’s] Spirit [helps us to serve him].
६पण आपण ज्याच्या बंधनात होतो त्यास आपण मरण पावलो असल्यामुळे आपण आता नियमशास्त्रापासून मुक्त झालो आहोत, ते ह्यासाठी की, आपण आत्म्याच्या नवेपणाने सेवा करावी, शास्त्रलेखाच्या जुनेपणाने नाही.
7 [Someone might object], saying, “(The laws [that God gave Moses] must be evil [if our sinful desires] are increased because of our knowing those laws. [MTY]/Are not the laws [that God gave Moses] evil [if they stir up our sinful desires]?)” [MTY, RHQ] [I would reply] that they certainly are not [evil, even though our sinful desires are increased]. What I would reply is that I, [for example], realized that [what I was doing] was sinful only because [of what is written] {[Moses wrote]} [in] those laws. For example, I realized that coveting [is sinful] only because he wrote in those laws [PRS], “You must not covet.”
७मग काय म्हणावे? नियमशास्त्र पाप आहे काय? कधीच नाही. पण मला नियमशास्त्राशिवाय पाप समजले नसते कारण ‘लोभ धरू नको’ असे नियमशास्त्राने सांगितल्याशिवाय मला लोभ कळला नसता.
8 And because of what that commandment [stated], my sinful [desire to have things that belong to others] [PRS] caused me to covet in many ways. [Our desire to] sin is not stimulated [MET] when there is no law [that prohibits our doing sinful things].
८पण पापाने आज्ञेची संधी घेऊन माझ्यात सर्व प्रकारचा लोभ उत्पन्न केला कारण नियमशास्त्राशिवाय पाप निर्जीव होते.
9 Formerly, when I did not [know] what God’s laws [required], I used to live [without worrying about what I was doing]. But when I [became aware that God] commanded, [“You must not covet],” I suddenly realized [PRS] that I was sinning,
९कारण मी एकदा नियमशास्त्राशिवाय जगत होतो, पण जेव्हा आज्ञा आली तेव्हा पाप सजीव झाले व मी मरण पावलो.
10 and [I realized that] I was separated from God. The laws that [I thought would enable me to] live [eternally as a result of my obeying them] caused me [to realize that] I was separated from God!
१०आणि जीवनासाठी दिलेली आज्ञा मरणाला कारण झाली, हे मला दिसले.
11 [My desire to] sin found a way [PRS] to deceive me [by making me think wrongly that] I could keep [on sinning and at the same time obey] those laws [enough so that I would live eternally], and [thus it] caused me to be separated from God [PRS].
११पण पापाने आज्ञेची संधी घेतली आणि मला फसवले व तिच्या योगे ठार मारले.
12 So [we conclude that] the laws [that God gave to Moses] are holy. What God commanded [about not coveting, along with all the other things that he commanded], is also holy, and it is just and good.
१२म्हणून नियमशास्त्र पवित्र आहे, तशीच आज्ञा पवित्र, न्याय्य आणि चांगली आहे.
13 So, [if someone were to object] saying, “[The laws that God gave Moses], which are good, (resulted in my being separated from God!/did they result in my being separated from God?) [RHQ]” [I would reply], “Certainly they did not [do that]!” But instead, those [laws], which are good, stimulated [my desire to] sin. I knew that the result was that I was separated from God. And also, because I [learned what God had] commanded, [I knew that] what I was doing was [truly] sinful.
१३मग जी चांगली आहे ती मला मरण झाली काय? तसे न होवो. पण जी चांगली आहे, तिच्या योगे, पाप हे पाप असे प्रकट व्हावे, म्हणून माझ्यात, ती मरण हा परिणाम घडविते; म्हणजे पाप हे आज्ञेमुळे पराकोटीचे पापिष्ट झाले.
14 We know that the laws [that God gave Moses came from God’s] Spirit. But as for me, I am [influenced by my] self-directed nature. [It is as though] I have been forced to become a slave of [my desire to] sin [MET].
१४कारण आपण हे जाणतो की, नियमशास्त्र हे आत्मिक आहे, पण मी दैहिक आहे; पापाला विकलेला आहे.
15 The things that I do, I [often] [HYP] do not understand. That is, [sometimes] [HYP] it is [the good things] that I want [to do] that I do not do. [And sometimes] [HYP] it is the [evil] things that I detest that I do.
१५कारण मी काय करीत आहे ते मला कळत नाही; कारण मी ज्याची इच्छा करतो ते मी करीत नाही पण मी ज्याचा द्वेष करतो ते मी करतो.
16 Since I [do] the [evil] things that I do not want [to] do, I agree that the laws [of God] are good.
१६मग मी जे इच्छीत नाही ते जर मी करतो, तर नियमशास्त्र चांगले आहे हे मी कबूल करतो.
17 So, it is not that I do [evil things because I wish to do them]. Instead, [what happens is that] I do sinful things because the desire to sin [causes me to do them]. The [desire to] sin (is within/permeates) me [PRS].
१७मग आता मी ते करीत नसून माझ्यात राहणारे पाप ते करते.
18 I know that my self-directed nature will not [let me] [PRS] [do] anything that is good. I know this because I want [to do what is good], but I do not do what is good.
१८कारण मी जाणतो की, माझ्यात, म्हणजे माझ्या देहात काहीच चांगले वसत नाही कारण इच्छा करणे माझ्याजवळ आहे, पण चांगले करीत राहणे नाही.
19 I do not do the good things that I want to do. Instead, it is evil things that I do not want to do that I do.
१९कारण मी जे चांगले करण्याची इच्छा करतो ते मी करीत नाही, पण मी ज्याची इच्छा करीत नाही ते वाईट मी करतो.
20 Because I do [evil things] that I do not want to do, it is not that I do [evil things because I want to]. Instead, [I do them because] my self-directed nature, which permeates me [PRS], [causes me to do them].
२०मग आता मी जे इच्छीत नाही ते जर मी करतो, तर मी ते करीत नसून माझ्यात राहणारे पाप ते करते.
21 I find, then, that what always happens is that when I want to do what is good, there is an evil [desire] present within me that [PRS] [prevents me from doing good].
२१मग मी चांगले करू इच्छीत असता वाईट माझ्याजवळ हाताशी असते, हा नियम आढळतो.
22 With my new inner nature I like the laws of God very much.
२२कारण मी माझ्या अंतर्यामी देवाच्या नियमाने आनंदित होतो;
23 Nevertheless, I sense that there is a different force that is in (my body/me) [PRS, SYN]. It is opposed to what with my mind [I desire to do] [MET], and it puts me inescapably under the control of [MET] the sinful [desires] that I have [SYN].
२३पण मला माझ्या अवयवात दुसरा एक असा नियम दिसतो; तो माझ्या मनातील नियमाशी लढून, मला माझ्या अवयवात असलेल्या पापाच्या नियमाच्या स्वाधीन करतो.
24 [When I consider this], I [feel that I] am a very wretched person. I want someone to set me free from the control of what my body [desires], in order that I might not be separated from God. [RHQ] [I also think that what I have experienced is the same as what all believers experience].
२४मी किती कष्टी मनुष्य! मला या मरणाच्या शरीरात कोण सोडवील?
25 I thank God that it is by Jesus Christ our Lord [that we can be free from the control of what our bodies desire]. So, [with our minds, you and] I on the one hand want to obey God’s laws. [But also], [you and] I [often let] our sinful [desires control us] because of our self-directed nature.
२५मी आपला प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्त ह्याच्याद्वारे देवाचे उपकार मानतो. म्हणजे मग मी स्वतः मनाने देवाच्या नियमाचे दास्य करतो पण देहाने पापाच्या नियमाचे दास्य करतो.
