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 ye Galatians, deficient in understanding! Who hath fascinated you? For lo, Jesus the Messiah hath been portrayed as in a picture, crucified before your eyes.

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 would I learn from you, Was it by works of the law, that ye received the Spirit? 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 ye so foolish, that having begun in the Spirit, ye now would consummate in the flesh?

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

And have ye borne all these things in vain? And I would, it were 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 therefore who giveth the Spirit in you, and who worketh miracles among you, doth he these things by the deeds of the law? or by the hearing of faith?

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

In like manner Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

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

Know ye, therefore, that those who are of faith, they are the children 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, because God knew beforehand that the Gentiles would be made just by faith, he preannounced it to Abraham; as saith the holy scripture, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

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

Believers, therefore, it is, who are blessed with believing Abraham.

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

For they who are of the deeds of the law, are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who shall not do every thing written in this law.

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

And that no one becometh just before God, by the law, is manifest: because it is written, The just by faith, shall live.

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

Now the law is not of faith; but, whoever shall do the things written in it, 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 ।”

But the Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, and hath been a curse for us; (for it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hanged 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 ।

that the blessing of Abraham might be on the Gentiles, through Jesus the Messiah; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit by 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 ।

My brethren, I speak as among men; a man's covenant which is confirmed, no one setteth aside, or changeth any thing in it.

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 to Abraham was the promise made, and to his seed. And it said to him, not, to thy seeds, as being many; but to thy seed, as being one, which is the Messiah.

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

And this I say: That the covenant which was previously confirmed by God in the Messiah, the law which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot set it aside, and nullify the promise.

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

And if the inheritance were by the law, it would not be by promise: but God gave it to 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 is the law? It was added on account of transgression, until that seed should come, to whom belonged the promise: and the law was given by angels through a mediator.

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

Now a mediator is not of one; 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 opposed to the promise of God? Far be it. For if a law had been given, which could make alive, certainly, righteousness would have been by the 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 hath inclosed all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus the Messiah might be given to them that believe.

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

But before the faith came, the law kept us shut up unto the faith that was to be revealed.

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

The law, therefore, was a monitor for us unto the Messiah, that we might become just by faith.

25 अब विश्‍वास आइसकेकोले हामी कुनै संरक्षकको अधीनमा छैनौँ ।

But the faith having come, we are not under the monitor.

26 किनकि ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा विश्‍वासद्वारा तिमीहरू सबै परमेश्‍वरका पुत्रहरू हौ ।

For ye are all the children of God, by faith in Jesus the Messiah.

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

For they who have been baptized into the Messiah, have put on the Messiah.

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 Gentile, neither slave nor free-born, neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Jesus the Messiah.

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

And if ye are the Messiah's, then are ye the seed of Abraham, and heirs by the promise.
