< रोमी 2 >
1 यसकारण, तिमीहरूलाई कुनै बहाना छैन । ए मानिस, तिमी जसले न्याय गर्छौ र तिमी अर्कालाई जेको निम्ति दोष लगाउँछौ तिमी आफैँ पनि त्यसैमा दोषी ठहराइन्छौ । किनकि तिमी न्याय गर्नेले पनि त्यही कुराहरू गर्छौ ।
So if you judge others you don't have any excuse, whoever you are! For in whatever way you condemn others, you're judging yourself, because you're doing the same things.
2 तर यस्ता कुराहरू गर्नेहरूमाथि परमेश्वरको न्याय हुँदा सत्यताअनुसार हुन्छ भनी हामी जान्दछौँ ।
We know that God's judgment on those who do such things is based on truth.
3 तर ए मानिस, यसलाई विचार गर कि तिमी आफैँले पनि त्यही गर्छौ यद्यपि तिमीले यी कुराहरू गर्नेहरूको न्याय गर्छौ । के तिमी परमेश्वरको इन्साफबाट उम्कनेछौ र?
When you judge them do you really think that you however can avoid God's judgment?
4 अथवा के तिमी उहाँको कृपाको प्रशस्तता, उहाँको दण्डको ढिलाइ र उहाँको धैर्यलाई तुच्छ ठन्छौ? के उहाँको भलाइ तिमीहरूलाई पश्चात्तापमा डोर्याउनलाई हो भन्ने तिमीहरू जान्दैनौ?
Or is it that you're treating his wonderful kindness, tolerance, and patience with contempt, not realizing that God in his kindness is trying to lead you to repent?
5 तर तिमीहरूको कठोर र अपश्चात्तापी हृदयको कारण तिमीहरूले क्रोधको दिन अर्थात् परमेश्वरको धार्मिक न्याय प्रकट हुने दिनको निम्ति क्रोध थुपारिरहेका छौ ।
Due to your hard-hearted attitude and your refusal to repent, you're making things far worse for yourself on the day of retribution when God's judgment is demonstrated to be absolutely right.
6 परमेश्वरले हरेकलाई त्यसको आफ्ना कर्महरूको नापअनुसार दिनुहुनेछः
God will make sure everyone receives what they deserve according to what they've done.
7 अटुट रूपमा सुकर्म गर्दै प्रशंसा, इज्जत र अमरत्वको खोजी गर्नेलाई उहाँले अनन्त जीवन दिनुहुनेछ । (aiōnios )
Those who have kept on trying to do what is good and right will receive glory and honor, immortality and eternal life. (aiōnios )
8 तर आफ्नै मात्र भलाइ खोज्ने, सत्यताको अवज्ञा गर्ने तर अधार्मिकताप्रति आज्ञाकारी हुनेहरूमाथि क्रोध र भयङ्कर रिस आइपर्नेछ ।
But those who think only of themselves, rejecting the truth and deliberately choosing to do evil, will receive punishment and furious hostility.
9 परमेश्वरले दुष्ट कार्य गर्ने हरेक मानव प्राणमाथि सङ्कट र दुःख ल्याउनुहुनेछ, पहिले यहूदीमाथि अनि ग्रिकहरूमाथि ।
Everyone who does evil will have trouble and suffering—the Jewish people first, and the foreigners too.
10 तर असल काम गर्नेहरूमाथि प्रशंसा, इज्जत र शान्ति आउनेछ, पहिले यहूदी र त्यसपछि ग्रिकहरूमाथि ।
But everyone who does good will have glory, honor, and peace—the Jewish people first, and the foreigners too.
11 किनकि परमेश्वरले पक्षपात गर्नुहुन्न ।
God has no favorites.
12 किनकि जतिले व्यवस्थाविना पाप गरेका छन्, तिनीहरू व्यवस्थाविना नै नष्ट हुनेछन् र जतिले व्यवस्थाप्रति पाप गरेका छन्, तिनीहरू व्यवस्थाद्वारा नै न्याय गरिनेछन् ।
Those who sin even though they don't have the written law are still lost, while those who sin that do have the written law will be condemned by that law.
13 किनकि परमेश्वरको सामु धर्मी ठहरिनेहरू व्यवस्था सुन्नेहरू होइनन्, तर व्यवस्था पालन गर्नेहरू नै धर्मी ठहरिनेछन् ।
Just listening to what the law says doesn't make you right in God's sight. It's those who do what the law says who are made right.
14 किनकि गैरयहूदीहरू जससँग व्यवस्था छैन, तिनीहरूले स्वभावद्वारा नै व्यवस्थाका कुराहरू गर्छन् । तिनीहरू आफ्ना निम्ति आफैँ नै व्यवस्था हुन्, यद्यपि तिनीहरूसँग व्यवस्था छैन ।
The foreigners don't have the written law, but when they instinctively do what it says, they are following the law even without having the written law.
15 यसैद्वारा व्यवस्थाले चाहेका कुराहरू तिनीहरूका हृदयमा लेखिएका छन् भन्ने देखाउँछ । तिनीहरूको विवेकले पनि तिनीहरूलाई गवाही दिन्छ र तिनीहरूका आफ्नै विचारले कि तिनीहरू आफैँलाई दोष दिन्छ कि प्रतिरक्षा गर्छ ।
In this way they show how the law works that's written in their minds. As they think about what they're doing, their conscience either accuses them for doing wrong or defends them for doing what is good and right.
16 अनि परमेश्वरप्रति पनि यही कुरो लागु हुन्छ । त्यो मेरो सुसमाचारअनुसार येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरले सबै मानिसहरूको गोप्य कुराहरूको इन्साफ गर्नुहुने दिन हुनेछ ।
The good news I share is that a day is coming when God will judge, through Jesus Christ, everyone's secret thoughts.
17 मानौँ, व्यवस्थामाथि भर परेर तिमी आफैँलाई यहूदी भन्छौ, परमेश्वरमा गर्वका साथ रमाउँछौ,
What about you who call yourself a Jew? You rely on the written law and boast about having a special relationship to God.
18 उहाँको इच्छा जान्दछौ र व्यवस्थाका शिक्षा पाएर त्यसबाट फरक भएका कुराहरूको जाँच गर्दछौ ।
You know what he wants; you do what's right because you've been taught from the law.
19 मानौँ, कि तिमी आफैँ अन्धाहरूका अगुवा हौ, र अन्धकारमा हुनेहरूका निम्ति ज्योति हौ,
You're absolutely sure that you can guide the blind, and that you are a light to those in the dark.
20 मूर्खलाई सुधार गर्ने, शिशुहरूका शिक्षक हौ, अनि तिमीसँग ज्ञान र सत्यताको स्वरूप व्यवस्थामा छ ।
You think you can set ignorant people straight, a teacher of “children,” because you know from the law all the truth there is to know.
21 अनि तिमी जसले अरूलाई सिकाउँछौ, के तिमी आफैलाई चाहिँ सिकाउँदैनौ? तिमी जसले चोरी नगर्नू भनी सिकाउँछौ, के तिमी नै चोरी गर्छौ?
So if you're busy teaching others, why don't you teach yourself? You tell people not to steal, but are you stealing?
22 तिमी जसले व्यभिचार नगर्नू भन्छौ, के तिमीले नै व्यभिचार गर्छौ? तिमी जसले मूर्तिहरूलाई घृणा गर्छौ, के तिमी मन्दिरहरू लुट्छौ?
You tell people not to commit adultery, but are you committing adultery? You tell people not to worship idols, but do you profane temples?
23 तिमी जो परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामा गर्वका साथ रमाउँछौ, के तिमीले व्यवस्था उल्लङ्घन गरेर परमेश्वरको अपमान गर्छौ?
You boast about having the law, but don't you misrepresent God by breaking it?
24 किनकि जसो लेखिएको छ, “तिमीहरूले गर्दा गैरयहूदीहरूका माझमा परमेश्वरको नाउँको अनादर भएको छ ।”
As Scripture says, “God's character is defamed among the foreigners because of you.”
25 यदि तिमीहरूले व्यवस्था पालन गर्छौ भने वास्तवमा खतनाले तिमीहरूलाई लाभ दिन्छ, तर यदि तिमीहरू व्यवस्था भङ्ग गर्नेहरू हौ भने, तिमीहरूको खतना बेखतना हुन्छ ।
Being circumcised has value only if you do what the law says. But if you break the law, your circumcision is as worthless as those who are not circumcised at all.
26 यदि बेखतने व्यक्तिले व्यवस्थाले माग गरेका कुराहरूलाई पालन गर्छ भने, के त्यसको बेखतना खतना नै ठानिनेछैन र?
If a man who is not circumcised keeps the law, he should be considered as being circumcised even though he's not.
27 यदि स्वाभाविक रूपले खतना नभएकाले व्यवस्था पुरा गर्छ भने के त्यसले तिमीलाई दोषी ठहराउँदैन र? तिमीहरूसँग लिखित धर्मशास्त्र र खतना भएको भए तापनि तिमीहरूले व्यवस्था उल्लङ्घन गर्ने भएकाले यसो भएको हो ।
The uncircumcised foreigners who keep the law will condemn you if you break the law, even though you have the written law and circumcision.
28 किनकि त्यो यहूदी होइन जो बाहिरी रूपले मात्र यहूदी हो; न त केवल बाहिरी शरीरको खतना नै खतना हो ।
It's not what's on the outside that makes you a Jew; it's not the physical sign of circumcision.
29 तर त्यही यहूदी हो जो भित्री रूपमा यहूदी हो र अक्षरमा होइन तर आत्माद्वारा हृदयको खतना नै खतना हो । यस्तो व्यक्तिको प्रशंसा मानिसबाट होइन, तर परमेश्वरबाट आउँछ ।
What makes you a Jew is on the inside, a “circumcision of the heart” that doesn't follow the letter of the law but the Spirit. Someone like that is looking for praise from God, not from people.
