< रोमी 10 >
1 भाइहरू हो, मेरो हृदयको इच्छा र परमेश्वरलाई मेरो बिन्ती तिनीहरूका लागि र तिनीहरूको उद्धारको निम्ति हो ।
Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation.
2 किनकि म तिनीहरूको विषयमा गवाही दिन्छु, कि तिनीहरूसँग परमेश्वरको निम्ति जोस छ, तर ज्ञानअनुसार छैन ।
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to real knowledge.
3 किनकि तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको धार्मिकता जान्दैनन्, र तिनीहरूले आफ्नै धार्मिकता स्थापित गर्न खोज्छन् । तिनीहरू परमेश्वरको धार्मिकताप्रति समर्पित भएनन् ।
For they, failing to understand God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to God's righteousness.
4 विश्वास गर्ने सबैको निम्ति ख्रीष्ट नै धार्मिकताको निम्ति व्यवस्थाको समाप्ति हुनुहुन्छ ।
Now for everyone who believes into righteousness, Christ is the end of the law
5 किनकि मोशा व्यवस्थाबाट आउने धार्मिकताको विषयमा लेख्छन्, “व्यवस्थाको धार्मिकता पालन गर्ने मानिस, यो धार्मिकताद्वारा नै जिउनेछ ।”
—Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
6 तर विश्वासद्वारा आउने धार्मिकताले यसो भन्छ, “आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो नभन, ‘स्वर्गमा को उक्लने?’ (अर्थात् ख्रीष्टलाई तल ल्याउन) ।
But the righteousness that is from faith speaks like this: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down)
7 र यसो नभन, ‘तल पातालसम्म को ओर्लने?’ (अर्थात् ख्रीष्टलाई मरेकाहरूबाट ल्याउन), (Abyssos )
“or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). (Abyssos )
8 तर यसले के भन्छ? “वचन तिमीहरूको नजिकै छ, तिमीहरूको मुख र हृदयमा नै छ ।” त्यो विश्वासको वचन हो, जुन हामी घोषणा गर्छौं ।
So what does it say? “The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the message of faith that we proclaim):
9 यदि तिमीले तिम्रो मुखले येशूलाई प्रभु भनी स्वीकार गर्छौ र परमेश्वरले उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट जीवित पार्नुभयो भनी आफ्नो हृदयमा विश्वास गर्छौ भने, तिमी बचाइनेछौ ।
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 किनकि मानिसले धार्मिकताको निम्ति आफ्नो हृदयले विश्वास गर्छ, र उसले उद्धारको निम्ति आफ्नो मुखले स्वीकार गर्छ ।
Because with the heart one believes into righteousness, and with the mouth one promises into salvation.
11 किनकि धर्मशास्त्रले भन्छ, “हरेक जसले उहाँमा विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो शर्ममा पारिनेछैन ।”
Because the Scripture says: “Everyone who believes on Him will never be put to shame”;
12 किनकि यहूदी र ग्रिकहरूबिच कुनै भिन्नता छैन । किनकि उही प्रभु नै सबैका प्रभु हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँलाई पुकार्ने सबैको लागि उहाँ प्रशस्त हुनुहुन्छ ।
because there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call upon Him;
13 किनकि प्रभुको नाम पुकार्ने सबै बचाइनेछन् ।
because: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 त्यसो हो भने, जसमाथि तिनीहरूले विश्वास गरेका छैनन् उहाँलाई कसरी पुकार्ने? र जसको विषयमा तिनीहरूले सुनेका छैनन् उहाँमाथि कसरी विश्वास गर्ने? र प्रचारकविना तिनीहरूले कसरी सुन्न सक्छन्?
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe on Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone proclaiming it?
15 र जबसम्म तिनीहरू पठाईंदैनन् तिनीहरूले कसरी प्रचार गर्छन् र? जस्तो लेखिएको छ, “असल कुराहरूबारे खुसीको सन्देश प्रचार गर्नेहरूका पाउ कति राम्रा?”
And how will they proclaim unless they are sent? As it is written: “How timely is the arrival of those who bring good news of peace, of those who announce the good things.”
16 तर तिनीहरू सबैले सुसमाचार सुनेनन् । किनकि यशैया भन्छन्, “हे प्रभु, हाम्रो सन्देश कसले विश्वास गरेको छ?”
(However, they did not all obey the gospel; because Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our message?”)
17 त्यसकारण, विश्वास सुनाइबाट आउँछ, र सुनाइ ख्रीष्टको वचनद्वारा आउँछ ।
So, the faith is from a message, and that message is by the Word of God.
18 तर म भन्छु, “के तिनीहरूले सुनेनन्?” हो, निश्चय नै । “तिनीहरूको आवाज सारा पृथ्वीभरि र तिनीहरूका शब्दहरू पृथ्वीको अन्त्यसम्म नै पुगेका छन् ।”
But I say, did they really not hear? Indeed yes: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, and their spoken words to the ends of the inhabited world.”
19 यसको अतिरिक्त, म भन्छु, “के इस्राएलले जानेन?” पहिले मोशा भन्छन्, “म तिमीहरूलाई एउटा जाति नै नभएको समूहद्वारा डाही तुल्याउँछु । समझविनाको जातिद्वारा म तिमीहरूलाई क्रोधित तुल्याउनेछु ।”
Again I say, did Israel really not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by a non-nation, I will move you to anger by a senseless nation.”
20 यशैया निकै साहसी छन् र भन्छन्, “जसले मलाई खोजेनन्, तिनीहरूले मलाई भेट्टाए । जसले मलाई बिन्ती गरेनन्, म तिनीहरूकहाँ देखा परेँ ।”
But Isaiah is so bold as to say: “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I was revealed to those who were not asking for me.”
21 तर इस्राएललाई उहाँ भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले मेरा हात दिनभरि अनाज्ञाकारी र हठी जातितिर फैलाएँ ।”
But concerning Israel he says: “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
