रोमियों 4
What advantage then shall we say that Abraham our father had as to the flesh?
2 २ क्योंकि यदि अब्राहम कामों से धर्मी ठहराया जाता, तो उसे घमण्ड करने का कारण होता है, परन्तु परमेश्वर के निकट नहीं।
For if Abraham was accepted as righteous through works, he hath ground of boasting. But he hath no ground of boasting before God.
3 ३ पवित्रशास्त्र क्या कहता है? यह कि “अब्राहम ने परमेश्वर पर विश्वास किया, और यह उसके लिये धार्मिकता गिना गया।”
For what saith the scripture? “Abraham had faith in God, and it was accounted unto him as righteousness.”
Now to him that performeth works, the reward is not accounted a matter of grace, but of debt;
5 ५ परन्तु जो काम नहीं करता वरन् भक्तिहीन के धर्मी ठहरानेवाले पर विश्वास करता है, उसका विश्वास उसके लिये धार्मिकता गिना जाता है।
but to him who without performing works hath faith in him who accepteth as righteous one that hath been ungodly, his faith is accounted as righteousness;
as David also speaketh of the blessedness of the man whom God accepteth as righteous without works:
“Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whom the Lord shall not charge with sin.”
9 ९ तो यह धन्य वचन, क्या खतनावालों ही के लिये है, या खतनारहितों के लिये भी? हम यह कहते हैं, “अब्राहम के लिये उसका विश्वास धार्मिकता गिना गया।”
Doth this blessedness belong to the circumcised alone, or to the uncircumcised also? For we are saying that Abraham's faith was accounted as righteousness.
10 १० तो वह कैसे गिना गया? खतने की दशा में या बिना खतने की दशा में? खतने की दशा में नहीं परन्तु बिना खतने की दशा में।
How then was it so accounted? After his circumcision, or while he was uncircumcised? Not after he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.
11 ११ और उसने खतने का चिन्ह पाया, कि उस विश्वास की धार्मिकता पर छाप हो जाए, जो उसने बिना खतने की दशा में रखा था, जिससे वह उन सब का पिता ठहरे, जो बिना खतने की दशा में विश्वास करते हैं, ताकि वे भी धर्मी ठहरें;
And he received the outward sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all the uncircumcised who have faith, so that righteousness might be put to their account also;
12 १२ और उन खतना किए हुओं का पिता हो, जो न केवल खतना किए हुए हैं, परन्तु हमारे पिता अब्राहम के उस विश्वास के पथ पर भी चलते हैं, जो उसने बिन खतने की दशा में किया था।
and that he might be the father of the circumcised, who are not circumcised merely, but who tread in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while yet uncircumcised.
13 १३ क्योंकि यह प्रतिज्ञा कि वह जगत का वारिस होगा, न अब्राहम को, न उसके वंश को व्यवस्था के द्वारा दी गई थी, परन्तु विश्वास की धार्मिकता के द्वारा मिली।
For not through the Law was the promise made to Abraham or his offspring that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they that are of the Law are heirs, then faith becometh a vain thing, and the promise is made of no effect.
For the Law is the cause of wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
16 १६ इसी कारण प्रतिज्ञा विश्वास पर आधारित है कि अनुग्रह की रीति पर हो, कि वह सब वंश के लिये दृढ़ हो, न कि केवल उसके लिये जो व्यवस्थावाला है, वरन् उनके लिये भी जो अब्राहम के समान विश्वासवाले हैं वही तो हम सब का पिता है
Therefore the inheritance was made to depend on faith, that it might be a matter of grace; that the promise might be sure to all the offspring, not to that only which is under the Law, but to that also which hath the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
17 १७ जैसा लिखा है, “मैंने तुझे बहुत सी जातियों का पिता ठहराया है” उस परमेश्वर के सामने जिस पर उसने विश्वास किया और जो मरे हुओं को जिलाता है, और जो बातें हैं ही नहीं, उनका नाम ऐसा लेता है, कि मानो वे हैं।
(as it is written, “I have made thee a father of many nations”) in the sight of that God whom he believed, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
18 १८ उसने निराशा में भी आशा रखकर विश्वास किया, इसलिए कि उस वचन के अनुसार कि “तेरा वंश ऐसा होगा,” वह बहुत सी जातियों का पिता हो।
For he had confident hope in that which was past hope, that he should become a father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, “Thus shall thy offspring be;”
19 १९ वह जो सौ वर्ष का था, अपने मरे हुए से शरीर और सारा के गर्भ की मरी हुई की सी दशा जानकर भी विश्वास में निर्बल न हुआ,
and not being weak in faith, he regarded not his own body which had become dead, he being about a hundred years old, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb;
20 २० और न अविश्वासी होकर परमेश्वर की प्रतिज्ञा पर संदेह किया, पर विश्वास में दृढ़ होकर परमेश्वर की महिमा की,
nor did he waver in respect to the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
being fully convinced, that what he hath promised, he is able also to perform.
And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
And that it was so accounted was not written for his sake alone,
24 २४ वरन् हमारे लिये भी जिनके लिये विश्वास धार्मिकता गिना जाएगा, अर्थात् हमारे लिये जो उस पर विश्वास करते हैं, जिसने हमारे प्रभु यीशु को मरे हुओं में से जिलाया।
but for our sakes also, to whom it will be so accounted through our faith in him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
who was delivered up on account of our trespasses, and raised from the dead that we might be accepted as righteous.
