गलाती 2
1 अनि चौध वर्षपछि म बारनाबाससँग फेरि यरूशलेम गएँ । मैले तीतसलाई पनि साथमा लगेँ ।
Fourteen years afterwards I went up to Jerusalem again with Barnabas, and I took Titus also with me.
2 परमेश्वरले म जानुपर्छ भनी मलाई प्रकट गराउनुभएको कारण म त्यहाँ गएँ । मैले गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा घोषणा गरेको सुसमाचार तिनीहरूका अगि राखेँ । (तर जो महत्त्वपूर्ण अगुवाहरू जस्तो देखिन्थे तिनीहरूसँग म व्यक्तिगत रूपमा बोलेँ) । म व्यर्थमा दौडिरहेको छैनँ, वा दौडिन भनेर सुनिश्चित गर्नको निम्ति मैले यो गरेँ ।
It was in obedience to a revelation that I went; and I laid before the apostles the good news that I am proclaiming among the Gentiles. I did this privately before those who are thought highly of because I was afraid that I might possibly be taking, or might have already taken, a course which would prove useless.
3 तर तीतस, जो मसँगै थिए, जो एक ग्रिक थिए, तिनलाई समेत खतना गर्न कर लगाइएन ।
Yet even my companion, Titus, though a Greek, was not compelled to be circumcised.
4 ख्रीष्ट येशूमा हामीसँग भएको स्वतन्त्रताको जासुसी गर्न गुप्त रूपमा आएका झुटा दाजुभाइहरूका कारण यो विषय उठ्यो । तिनीहरूले हामीलाई व्यवस्थाका दासहरू बनाउन चाहे ।
But, because of those who pretended to be followers who had stolen in, the intruders who had crept in to spy on the liberty which we have through union with Christ Jesus, in order to bring us back to slavery –
5 तिमीहरूका निम्ति सुसमाचारको सत्यता अपरिवर्तित रहिरहोस् भनेर हामी तिनीहरूका कुरामा एक घण्टा पनि झुकेनौँ ।
Why, we did not for a moment yield submission to them, so that the truth of the good news might be yours always!
6 तर महत्त्वपूर्ण देखिएकाहरूले मलाई केही पनि सहयोग गरेनन् । तिनीहरू जो भए तापनि मलाई केही फरक पर्दैन । मानिसले मन पराएकाहरूलाई परमेश्वरले स्वीकार गर्नुहुन्न ।
Of those who are thought somewhat highly of – what they once were makes no difference to me; God does not recognise human distinctions – those, I say, who are thought highly of added nothing to my message.
7 त्यसको सट्टामा, तिनीहरूले यो देखे, कि खतना नभएकाहरूलाई सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्नको निम्ति मलाई जिम्मेवारी सुम्पिएको थियो । जसरी पत्रुसले खतना भएकाहरूका बिचमा सुसमाचार घोषणा गर्नुपर्ने थियो, यो पनि त्यस्तै हो ।
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the good news for the Gentiles, just as Peter had been for the Jews.
8 किनकि खतना भएकाहरूलाई प्रचार गर्नको निम्ति पत्रुसमा काम गर्नुभएका परमेश्वरले नै गैरयहूदीहरूका बिचमा प्रचार गर्नलाई ममा काम गर्नुभयो ।
For he who gave Peter power for his mission to the Jews gave me, also, power to go to the Gentiles.
9 जब मण्डली निर्माण गर्नेहरू भनेर चिनिएका याकूब, केफास र यूहन्नाले मलाई दिइएको अनुग्रहलाई बुझे, तिनीहरूले बारनाबास र मलाई सङ्गतिको अधिकार दिए । हामी गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा जान सकौँ र उनीहरू खतना भएकाहरूका माझमा जान सकून् भनेर उनीहरूले यसो गरे ।
Recognising the charge entrusted to me, James, Peter, and John, who were regarded as pillars of the church, openly acknowledged Barnabas and me as fellow workers, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
10 हामीले गरिबहरूको सम्झना गरेको पनि उनीहरू चाहन्थे । म पनि त्यो कुरा गर्न इच्छुक थिएँ ।
Only we were to remember the poor – the thing I was myself anxious to do.
11 जब पत्रुस एन्टिओखियामा आए, मैले उनलाई आमने-सामने विरोध गरेँ किनकि उनी गलत थिए ।
But, when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face; for he stood self-condemned.
12 याकूबबाट केही मानिसहरू आउनुअगि पत्रुस गैरयहूदीहरूसँग बसेर खाँदै थिए । तर जब यी मानिसहरू आए, उनले यो रोके र उनी गैरयहूदीहरूबाट टाढिए । उनी यी खतना गर्नैपर्ने मानिसहरूसँग डराए ।
Before certain persons came from James, he had been in the habit of eating with the Gentile converts; but, when they came, he began to withdraw and hold aloof, because he was afraid of offending those who still held to circumcision.
13 बाँकी यहूदीहरूले पनि पत्रुसको यस कपटपूर्ण काममा साथ दिए । यसको परिणाम स्वरूप बारनाबास पनि उनीहरूको कपटपूर्ण कामको कारण भड्किए ।
The rest of the Jewish converts were guilty of the same hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led away by it.
14 जब मैले तिनीहरूले सुसमाचारको सत्यता नपछ्याइरहेको देखेँ, मैले तिनीहरू सबैका सामुन्ने पत्रुसलाई भनेँ, “तिमी यहूदी भएर पनि यहूदी स्वभावको सट्टा गैरयहूदी स्वभावमा जिइरहेका छौ भने, तिमीले कसरी गैरयहूदीहरूलाई यहूदीहरू जस्तो गरी जिउनको निम्ति कर लगाउन सक्छौ?”
But, when I saw that they were not dealing straightforwardly with the truth of the good news, I said to Peter, before them all, ‘If you, who were born a Jew, adopt Gentile customs, instead of Jewish, why are you trying to compel the Gentile converts to adopt Jewish customs?’
15 हामी जो जन्मसिद्ध यहूदीहरू हौँ र “गैरयहूदी पापीहरू होइनौँ”,
We, though we are Jews by birth and not sinners of Gentile origin, know that no one is pronounced righteous as the result of obedience to Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus.
16 व्यवस्थाद्वारा कोही पनि धर्मी हुन सक्दैन भन्ने कुरा हामी जान्दछौँ । त्यसको सट्टा, तिनीहरू येशू ख्रीष्टमा विश्वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिन्छन् । हामी ख्रीष्ट येशूमा विश्वासमा आयौँ ताकि हामी ख्रीष्टमा विश्वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिन सकौँ र व्यवस्थाअनुसारका कामहरूद्वारा होइन । किनकि व्यवस्थाअनुसारका कामहरूद्वारा कोही पनि धर्मी ठहरिन सक्दैन ।
So we placed our faith in Christ Jesus, in order that we might be pronounced righteous, as the result of faith in Christ, and not of obedience to Law; for such obedience will not result in even one soul’s being pronounced righteous.
17 तर यदि हामी ख्रीष्टमा परमेश्वरद्वारा धर्मी हुन खोज्छौँ भने, हामीले आफैँलाई पापी भएको पनि पाउँछौ । के त्यसो भए ख्रीष्ट पापको दास हुनुभयो त? त्यस्तो होइन!
If, while seeking to be pronounced righteous through union with Christ, we were ourselves seen to be sinners, would that make Christ an agent of sin? Heaven forbid!
18 व्यवस्थालाई पुरा गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने कुरामा मैले मेरो विश्वासलाई पुनर्निर्माण गरेँ, त्यो विश्वास जुन मैले भङ्ग गरिसकेको थिएँ । म आफैँलाई व्यवस्था भङ्ग गर्ने मानिस तुल्याउँछु ।
For, if I rebuild the things that I pulled down, I prove myself to have done wrong.
19 व्यवस्थाद्वारा व्यवस्थाको निम्ति म मरेँ, ताकि म परमेश्वरको निम्ति बाँच्न सकूँ ।
I, indeed, through Law became dead to Law, in order to live for God.
20 म ख्रीष्टसँगै क्रुसमा टाँगिएको छु । अब उसो जिउने म होइनँ, तर ख्रीष्ट ममा जिउनुहुन्छ । अब जुन जीवन म शरीरमा जिउँछु, म परमेश्वरका पुत्रको विश्वासमा जिउँछु, जसले मलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो र आफैँलाई मेरो निम्ति दिनुभयो ।
I have been crucified with Christ. So it is no longer I that live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and, as for my present earthly life, I am living it by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 म परमेश्वरको अनुग्रहलाई इन्कार गर्दिनँ, किनकि यदि व्यवस्थाद्वारा धार्मिकता आउने भए, ख्रीष्ट व्यर्थैमा मर्नुभयो ।
I do not reject the love of God. If righteousness comes through Law, then there was no need for Christ to die!
