गलाती 3

1 हे मूर्ख गलातीहरू! कसको दुष्‍ट आँखाले तिमीहरूलाई नोक्सानी गर्‍यो? के तिमीहरूका आँखाको अगाडि येशू ख्रीष्‍ट क्रुसमा टाँगिनुभएको कुरा दर्शाइएको थिएन र?

O thoughtless Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been plainly set forth crucified?

2 म तिमीहरूबाट यो कुरा मात्र बुझ्‍न चाहन्छु । के तिमीहरूले पवित्र आत्मालाई व्यवस्था अनुसारका कामहरू गरेर पाएका हौ कि तिमीहरूले सुनेका कुरामा विश्‍वास गरेर पाएका हौ?

This only I wish to learn of you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 के तिमीहरू यति धेरै मूर्ख भएका छौ? के अब केवल शरीरमा अन्त हुन तिमीहरूले आत्मामा सुरु गरेका थियौ?

Are you so thoughtless? After having begun in Spirit, do you make an end in flesh?

4 यदि त्यो साँच्‍चै निरर्थक थियो भने के तिमीहरूले व्यर्थमा यति धेरै कुराहरूको अनुभव गर्‍यौ त?

Have you suffered so many things in vain? if, indeed, it be in vain.

5 त्यसो भए, जसले तिमीहरूलाई पवित्र आत्मा दिनुहुन्छ र तिमीहरूका बिचमा शक्‍तिशाली कार्यहरूद्वारा काम गर्नुहुन्छ, के उहाँले यो व्यवस्था अनुसारका कामहरूका कारण गर्नुभएको हो कि विश्‍वास गरेर सुनेका कारणले?

He that supplies to you the Spirit, and works mighty deeds among you, does he this by works of law or by the hearing of faith?

6 अब्राहामले “परमेश्‍वरलाई विश्‍वास गरे अनि यो उनको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।”

even as Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

7 त्यसो भए, यसै गरी यो बुझ, कि विश्‍वास गर्नेहरू नै अब्राहामका सन्तान हुन् ।

Know, therefore, that those who are of faith are the sons of Abraham.

8 धर्मशास्‍त्रले पहिले नै यो देखेको थियो, कि परमेश्‍वरले गैरयहूदीहरूलाई विश्‍वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहराउनुहुन्छ । अब्राहामलाई अगाडि नै सुसमाचार दिइएको थियो, “तँबाट नै पृथ्वीमा हुने सबै जातिहरू आशिषित हुनेछन् ।”

For the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached beforehand the gospel to Abraham, saying: In you shall all the nations be blessed.

9 त्यसैकारण, जोसँग विश्‍वास छ, तिनीहरू अब्राहामसँगै आशिषित हुन्छन्, तिनै अब्राहाम जससँग पनि विश्‍वास थियो ।

So, then, those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 व्यवस्था अनुसारका कामहरूमा भर पर्नेहरू श्रापित हुन्छन् । किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ “व्यवस्थामा लेखिएका सबै कुराहरू पालन नगर्ने सबै श्रापित हुन्छन् ।”

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that does not continue in all things written in the book of the law to do them.

11 अब यो स्पष्‍ट छ, कि परमेश्‍वरले कसैलाई पनि व्यवस्थाद्वारा धर्मी ठहराउनुहुन्‍न, किनकि “धर्मी मानिस विश्‍वासद्वारा नै जिउनेछ ।”

But that no one is justified by law in the sight of God, is evident: for the just by faith shall live.

12 व्यवस्था विश्‍वासबाट आएको होइन, तर त्यसको सट्टामा, “जसले व्यवस्थामा भएका कुराहरू गर्दछ त्यो व्यवस्थाअनुसार नै जिउनेछ ।”

The law, indeed, is not of faith; but he that does these things shall live by them.

13 हाम्रो निम्ति ख्रीष्‍ट श्रापित हुनुभएर उहाँले हामीलाई व्यवस्थाको श्रापबाट मुक्त गराउनुभयो । किनकि यसरी लेखिएको छ, “काठमा झुण्डिने हरेक श्रापित हुन्छ ।”

Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree: )

14 यसको उद्देश्य यही थियो, कि अब्राहाममा भएको आशिष् ख्रीष्‍ट येशूद्वारा गैरयहूदीहरूमाझ आउन सकोस्, ताकि हामीले विश्‍वासद्वारा पवित्र आत्माको प्रतिज्ञा प्राप्‍त गर्न सकौँ ।

in order that the blessing of Abraham may come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

15 भाइहरू हो, म मानवीय शब्दहरूमा बोल्दछु । एक पटक पक्‍का भइसकेको मानिसले बनाएको इच्छा-पत्र त न कसैले रद्द गर्छ न त त्यसमा केही थपिन्छ ।

Brethren, I speak of things common among men: No one sets a covenant aside, or enjoins any thing additional after it is confirmed, though it be a man’s covenant.

16 अब यी प्रतिज्ञाहरू अब्राहाम र उनको सन्तानलाई दिइएको थियो । यसले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई जनाउने गरी “सन्तानहरूलाई” भन्दैन, तर यसको सट्टामा “तिम्रो सन्तानलाई” भनेर यसले एक जनालाई मात्र जनाउँछ, जो ख्रीष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ ।

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring; he does not say: And to offsprings, as if he spoke of many; but as of one, And to your offspring, which is Christ.

17 अब म यो भन्दछु । परमेश्‍वरले पहिले नै स्थापना गर्नुभएको करारलाई ४३० वर्षपछि आएको व्यवस्थाले रद्द गर्दैन ।

And this I affirm, that the covenant which had been before confirmed by God with respect to Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, could not annul so as to make the promise of no effect.

18 किनकि उत्तराधिकार व्‍यवस्थाद्वारा आएको हो भने, यो अहिले प्रतिज्ञाद्वारा आउने थिएन । तर परमेश्‍वरले प्रतिज्ञाद्वारा अब्राहामलाई यो सित्तैँमा दिनुभयो ।

For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.

19 त्यसो भए व्यवस्था किन दिइयो त? ती प्रतिज्ञा गरिएकाहरूकहाँ अब्राहामका सन्तान नआउन्जेलसम्म अपराधको कारणले व्यवस्था थपियो । यो व्यवस्था एउटा मध्यस्तकर्ताको हातद्वारा स्वर्गदूतहरूमार्फत लागु गरिएको थियो ।

What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made, ) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator.

20 अहिले मध्यस्तकर्ताले एकभन्दा बढी व्यक्‍तिलाई बुझाउँछ, तापनि परमेश्‍वर एउटै हुनुहुन्छ ।

Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one.

21 त्यसो भए, के व्यवस्था परमेश्‍वरका प्रतिज्ञाहरूको विरुद्धमा छ त? कदापि होइन! किनकि यदि जीवन दिन सक्‍ने व्यवस्था दिइएको भए, निश्‍चय नै त्यही व्यवस्थाद्वारा धार्मिकता आउने थियो ।

Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law.

22 तर त्यसको सट्टामा, पापको अधीनमा रहेका सबै कुरालाई धर्मशास्‍त्रले कैदमा राख्यो । परमेश्‍वरले यो गर्नुभयो ताकि येशू ख्रीष्‍टमा विश्‍वासद्वारा हामीलाई बचाउने उहाँको प्रतिज्ञालाई विश्‍वास गर्नेहरूलाई दिन सकियोस् ।

But the scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ Jesus may be given to those who believe.

23 तर ख्रीष्‍टमा विश्‍वास आउनुभन्दा अगाडि विश्‍वासको प्रकाश नआउन्जेलसम्म हामी व्यवस्थाद्वारा कैदमा थियौँ र सीमित थियौँ ।

But before the faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith which was to be revealed.

24 त्यसकारण, हामी विश्‍वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिनको निम्ति ख्रीष्‍ट नआउन्जेलसम्मको लागि व्यवस्था हाम्रो संरक्षक बन्यो ।

So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25 अब विश्‍वास आइसकेकोले हामी कुनै संरक्षकको अधीनमा छैनौँ ।

But since the faith has come, we are no longer under a pedagogue:

26 किनकि ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा विश्‍वासद्वारा तिमीहरू सबै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्रहरू हौ ।

for you are all the sons of God, by faith in Christ Jesus:

27 तिमीहरूमध्ये सबै जतिको ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा बप्‍तिस्मा भयो, तिमीहरू आफैँले ख्रीष्‍टलाई पहिरिएका छौ ।

for as many of you as have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ.

28 अब न त यहूदी छ, न ग्रिक, न कमारा छ न फुक्‍का, न पुरुष छ न स्‍त्री, किनभने ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा तिमीहरू सबै एक हौ ।

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor freeman, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 यदि तिमीहरू ख्रीष्‍टका हौ भनेता तिमीहरू अब्राहामका सन्तानहरू हौ र प्रतिज्ञाबमोजिम उत्तराधिकारीहरू हौ ।

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s posterity, and heirs according to the promise.
