रोम. 9
I am telling you the truth as a Christian man--it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine--
when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart.
3 ३ कारण दैहिक दृष्ट्या जे माझे नातेवाईक आहेत त्या माझ्या बांधवांकरता मी स्वतः ख्रिस्ताकडून शापित व्हावे असे मी इच्छीन.
For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk--for such the Israelites are.
To them belongs recognition as God's sons, and they have His glorious Presence and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the Temple service, and the ancient Promises.
5 ५ पूर्वज त्यांचे आहेत; त्यांच्यापासून दैहिक दृष्ट्या ख्रिस्त आला; तो सर्वांवर असलेला देव युगानुयुग धन्यवादित असो; आमेन. (aiōn g165)
To them the Patriarchs belong, and from them in respect of His human lineage came the Christ, who is exalted above all, God blessed throughout the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel,
7 ७ आणि ते अब्राहामाचे संतान आहेत म्हणून सर्व मुले आहेत असे नाही; तर ‘इसहाकालाच तुझे संतान म्हणले जाईल’ असे वचन आहे;
nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was "Through Isaac shall your posterity be reckoned."
In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.
For the words are the language of promise and run thus, "About this time next year I will come, and Sarah shall have a son."
10 १० आणि इतकेच नाही; पण ज्या एकापासून, म्हणजे आपला पूर्वज इसहाक ह्याच्यापासून रिबेका गरोदर असतेवेळी,
Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac--
11 ११ आणि मुलांचा जन्म झाला नसल्यामुळे काही चांगले किंवा वाईट कोणी केले नसताना निवडीप्रमाणे देवाची योजना कायम रहावी म्हणून कृतीप्रमाणे नाही पण बोलावणार्‍याच्या इच्छेप्रमाणे,
and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told,
"The elder of them will be bondservant to the younger."
This agrees with the other Scripture which says, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."
What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God?
15 १५ कारण तो मोशेला म्हणतो, ‘मी ज्याच्यावर दया करतो त्याच्यावर दया करीन आणि मी ज्याच्यावर उपकार करतो त्याच्यावर उपकार करीन.’
No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion."
16 १६ तर मग जो इच्छा धरतो त्याच्यामुळे नाही किंवा जो धावतो त्याच्यामुळे नाही, पण जो देव दया करतो त्याच्यामुळे हे आहे.
And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh,
17 १७ म्हणून शास्त्रलेख फारोला म्हणतो, ‘मी तुला ह्यासाठी मोठे केले की, तुझ्याद्वारे मी माझे सामर्थ्य प्रकट करावे आणि सर्व पृथ्वीवर माझे नाव गाजविले जावे.’
"It is for this very purpose that I have lifted you so high--that I may make manifest in you My power, and that My name may be proclaimed far and wide in all the earth."
18 १८ म्हणजे परमेश्वराची इच्छा असेल त्याच्यावर तो दया करतो आणि त्याची इच्छा असेल त्यास तो कठिण करतो.
This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart.
"Why then does God still find fault?" you will ask; "for who is resisting His will?"
20 २० पण उलट अरे बंधू, तू जो देवाला उलटून बोलतोस तो तू कोण आहेस? तू मला असे का केलेस, अशी कोणती वस्तू करणार्‍याला म्हणू शकेल?
Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD? Shall the thing moulded say to him who moulded it, "Why have you made me thus?"
21 २१ कुंभाराने एकाच गोळ्यामधून एक पात्र मानासाठी तर दुसरे अपमानासाठी करायला मातीवर अधिकार नाही काय?
Or has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses?
22 २२ मग आपण आपला क्रोध व्यक्त करावा आणि आपले सामर्थ्य प्रकट करावे असे जरी देव इच्छीत असला, तरी त्याने जर नाशासाठी तयार केलेल्या क्रोधाच्या पात्रांना मोठ्या सहनशीलतेने वागविले,
And what if God, while choosing to make manifest the terrors of His anger and to show what is possible with Him, has yet borne with long-forbearing patience with the subjects of His anger who stand ready for destruction,
23 २३ आणि गौरवासाठी आधी योजलेल्या दयेच्या पात्रांवर आपल्या गौरवाच धन प्रकट करावे म्हणून त्याने असे केले तर काय?
in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory,
24 २४ त्याने ज्यांना केवळ यहूद्यांमधून नाही, पण परराष्ट्रीयामधूनही बोलावले आहे ते आपण ती दयेची पात्रे आहोत.
even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles?
25 २५ कारण तो होशेयाच्या ग्रंथात असेही म्हणतो की, ‘जे माझी प्रजा नव्हते त्यांना मी माझी प्रजा म्हणेन, आणि जी माझी आवडती नव्हती, तिला मी माझी आवडती म्हणेन.
So also in Hosea He says, "I will call that nation My People which was not My People, and I will call her beloved who was not beloved.
26 २६ आणि असे होईल की त्यांना ज्याठिकाणी, तुम्ही माझी प्रजा नाही, असे म्हणले होते, तेथे त्यांना जिवंत देवाचे पुत्र म्हणले जाईल.’
And in the place where it was said to them, 'No people of Mine are you,' there shall they be called sons of the everliving God."
27 २७ यशयादेखील इस्राएलाविषयी ओरडून म्हणतो की, ‘इस्राएलाच्या पुत्रांची संख्या जरी समुद्राच्या वाळूसारखी झाली, तरी एक अवशेष वाचवला जाईल.
And Isaiah cries aloud concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, only a remnant of them shall be saved;
for the Lord will hold a reckoning upon the earth, making it efficacious and brief."
29 २९ आणि यशयाने पूर्वी सांगितल्याप्रमाणे, सैन्यांच्या प्रभूने जर आपल्यासाठी बीज ठेवले नसते तर आम्ही सदोमासारखे असतो आणि गमोरासारखे झालो असतो.
Even as Isaiah says in an earlier place, "Were it not that the Lord, the God of Hosts, had left us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and have come to resemble Gomorrah."
30 ३० मग आपण काय म्हणावे? तर जे परराष्ट्रीय नीतिमत्त्वाच्या मागे लागले नाहीत त्यांनी नीतिमत्त्व मिळविले आहे, म्हणजे विश्वासाने मिळणारे नीतिमत्त्व मिळविले आहे.
To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it--a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;
while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.
32 ३२ आणि का? कारण ते विश्वासाने नाही, पण कृतींनी त्याच्यामागे लागले कारण ते अडखळणाच्या दगडावर अडखळले.
And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;
33 ३३ कारण पवित्र शास्त्रात असे लिहिले आहे की, ‘बघा, मी सियोनात एक अडखळण्याचा दगड, एक अडथळ्याचा खडक ठेवतो. आणि जो कोणी त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवतो तो लज्जित होणार नाही.’
in agreement with the statement of Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a stone for people to stumble at, and a rock for them to trip over, and yet he whose faith rests upon it shall never have reason to feel ashamed."
