रोमी 3
1 त्यसो भए यहूदीलाई के फाइदा छ त? अनि खतनाको के फाइदा छ त?
So does a Jew have any advantage? Does circumcision have any benefits?
2 यो हरतरहले महान् छ । सर्वप्रथम त परमेश्वरको प्रकाश यहूदीलाई सुम्पिएको थियो ।
Yes, there are many benefits! First of all, God's message was entrusted to them.
3 किनकि केही यहूदीहरू विनाविश्वासका भए भन्दैमा के भयो त? के तिनीहरूको अविश्वासले परमेश्वरको विश्वासयोग्यतालाई अमान्य तुल्याउँछ र?
What if some of them didn't trust in God? Does their lack of trust in God obliterate the trustworthiness of God?
4 कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस् । यसको सट्टा, सबै मानिस झुटा ठहरिए तापनि परमेश्वर नै सत्य भेट्टाइनुभएको होस् । यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “तपाईंलाई आफ्ना वचनहरूमा धर्मी देखाइयोस्, अनि न्यायको दिनमा आउनुहुँदा तपाईं विजय हुनसक्नुभएको होस् ।”
Of course not! Even if everyone else is proved to be lying, God always tells the truth. As Scripture says, “What you say will be proved right, and you will win your case when you are judged.”
5 तर यदि हाम्रो अधार्मिकताले परमेश्वरको धार्मिकतालाई देखाउँछ भने हामी के भन्न सक्छौ र? परमेश्वरले उहाँको क्रोध प्रकट गर्नुहुँदा उहाँ अधर्मी ठहरिनुहुन्न, के अधर्मी ठहरिनुहुन्छ त? म मानवीय तर्कअनुसार बोलिरहेको छु ।
But if the fact that we're wrong helps to show that God is right, what should we conclude? That God is wrong to pronounce judgment on us? (I'm talking from a human perspective here.)
6 कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस्! किनकि त्यसो भए त परमेश्वरले कसरी संसारको न्याय गर्नुहुन्छ?
Of course not! How else could God judge the world?
7 तर यदि मेरो झुटद्वारा परमेश्वरको सत्यताले उहाँको निम्ति प्रशस्त प्रशंसा प्रदान गर्छ भने मलाई अझ पनि किन पापीको रूपमा न्याय गरिन्छ त?
Someone could say, “Why am I still condemned as a sinner if my lies make the truth of God and his glory more obvious in contrast?”
8 किन नभनौँ, जसरी हामीलाई झुटो रूपमा आरोप लगाइन्छ, र केहीले पुष्टि गर्छन्, कि हामी भन्छौँ, “दुष्ट काम गरौँ, ताकि असल आओस् ।” तिनीहरूमाथिको न्याय उचित छ ।
Is it a case of, “Let's sin to bring about good”? That's what some people have slanderously accused us of saying. They should be rightly condemned!
9 त्यसो भए के त? के हामी आफैँले आफ्नो सफाइ दिँदै छौँ? त्यसो नहोस्! किनकि यहूदीहरू र ग्रिकहरू सबै पापको अधीनमा थिए भनी हामीले पहिले नै दोष लगाइसकेका छौँ ।
So then, are we Jews better than others? Definitely not! Remember that we've already argued that both Jews and foreigners are under the control of sin.
10 यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “धर्मी कोही छैन, एक जना पनि छैन ।
As Scripture says, “No one does what is right, not even one.
11 बुझ्ने कोही पनि छैन । परमेश्वरलाई खोज्ने कोही पनि छैन ।
No one understands; no one seeks God.
12 तिनीहरू सबै तर्केर गएका छन् । तिनीहरू सबै जना एकैसाथ अनुपयोगी भएका छन् । असल गर्ने कोही पनि छैन, अहँ, एक जना पनि छैन ।
Everyone has turned their backs on him; everyone does what is totally wrong. No one does what is good, not a single one.
13 तिनीहरूको घाँटी खुल्ला चिहान हो । तिनीहरूका जिब्राले छल गरेका छन् । तिनीहरूका ओठहरूमा सर्पको विष छ ।
Their throats are like an open grave; their tongues spread deceit; their lips ooze with the venom of snakes.
14 तिनीहरूका मुख श्राप र तिक्तताले भरिएका छन् ।
Their mouths are full of bitterness and curses,
15 तिनीहरूका खुट्टा रगत बगाउनमा द्रूत छन् ।
and they are quick to cause pain and death.
16 विनाश र कष्ट तिनीहरूका मार्गहरूमा छन् ।
Their way leads to disaster and misery;
17 यी मानिसहरूले शान्तिको मार्ग जानेका छैनन् ।
they don't know how to live in peace.
18 तिनीहरूका आँखाको सामुन्ने परमेश्वरको डर छैन ।
They don't care about respecting God at all.”
19 अब हामी जान्दछौँ, कि व्यवस्थाले जे भन्दछ त्यो व्यवस्थाको अधीनमा बस्नेहरू कै लागि भन्छ । यो हरेक मुख बन्द होस् भन्नाका लागि हो, ताकि सारा संसार परमेश्वरप्रति जवाफदेही हुन सकून् ।
It's clear that everything in the law applies to those who live under the law so that no one could have any excuses, and to make sure everyone in the whole world is answerable to God.
20 उहाँको दृष्टिमा व्यवस्थाका कामहरूद्वारा कुनै पनि मानिस धर्मी नठहरिने हुनाले यसो भएको हो । किनकि व्यवस्थाद्वारा नै पापको ज्ञान आउँछ ।
For no one is made right before God by doing what the law requires. The law only helps us recognize what sin really is.
21 तर अब व्यवस्थाविना नै परमेश्वरको धर्मीकता प्रकट गरिएको छ । यसलाई व्यवस्था र अगमवक्ताहरूद्वारा साक्षी दिइएको छ,
But now God's character of goodness and right has been demonstrated. It has nothing to do with law-keeping, even though it was spoken of by the law and the prophets.
22 अर्थात् यो विश्वास गर्ने सबैका निम्ति येशू ख्रीष्टमा विश्वासद्वारा आउने परमेश्वरको धार्मिकता हो । किनकि त्यहाँ कुनै भेदभाव छैन ।
This character of God that is good and right comes to everyone who trusts in Jesus Christ, those who place their confidence in him. It doesn't matter who we are:
23 किनकि सबैले पाप गरेका छन् र परमेश्वरको महिमासम्म पुग्न चुकेका छन् ।
We have all sinned, and we fall far short of God's glorious ideal.
24 ख्रीष्टमा भएको छुटकाराद्वारा तिनीहरू सित्तैँमा धर्मी ठहराइन्छन् ।
Yet through the free gift of his grace God makes us right through Christ Jesus who sets us free.
25 किनकि परमेश्वरले येशू ख्रीष्टको रगतमा विश्वासद्वारा प्रायश्चित्तको रूपमा उहाँलाई अर्पण गर्नुभयो । उहाँको धैर्यमा विगतका पापको बेवास्ता गर्नुभएकोले उहाँले ख्रीष्टलाई उहाँको न्यायको प्रमाणको रूपमा अर्पण गर्नुभयो ।
God openly presented Jesus as the gift that brings peace to those trusting in him, the one who shed his blood. God did this to demonstrate he is truly good and right, for previously he would hold back and pass over sins,
26 यी सबै कुरा वर्तमान समयमा उहाँको धार्मिकता प्रदर्शन गर्नका निम्ति भएका थिए । उहाँ आफैँलाई न्यायी प्रमाणित गर्न सक्नुभएको होस् र उहाँले येशूमाथिको विश्वासले कुनैलाई पनि धर्मी ठहराउनुहुन्छ भन्ने देखाउन यसो भयो ।
but now at this present time God proves he is fair and does what is right, and that he makes right those who trust in Jesus.
27 घमण्ड कहाँ गर्ने? यो त हटाइएको छ । केको आधारमा? कामहरूको आधारमा? होइन, तर विश्वासको आधारमा हो ।
So do we have anything to boast about then? Absolutely not, there's no place for that! And why's that? Is it because we follow the law of observing requirements? No, we follow the law of trusting in God.
28 तब हामी निचोडमा आउँछौँ, कि कुनै पनि व्यक्ति व्यवस्थाका कामहरूविना नै विश्वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिन्छ ।
We conclude that people are made right with God through their trust in him, and not from legal observance.
29 अथवा के परमेश्वर यहूदीहरूका मात्रै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ त? के उहाँ गैरयहूदीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न र? हो, उहाँ गैरयहूदीहरूका पनि परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ ।
Is God only the God of the Jews? Isn't he the God of other people as well? Of course he is!
30 यदि वास्तवमै परमेश्वर एक हुनुहुन्छ भने उहाँले खतना भएकाहरूलाई विश्वासद्वारा धर्मी ठहराउनुहुन्छ, र खतना नभएकाहरूलाई पनि विश्वासद्वारा नै धर्मी ठहराउनुहुन्छ ।
There is only one God, and he makes us morally right through our trust in him, whoever we are, Jew or foreigner.
31 के हामीले विश्वासद्वारा व्यवस्थालाई रद्द गर्छौं त? कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस्! बरु, हामीले व्यवस्थालाई कायम पो राख्छौँ ।
Does that mean that by trusting in God we do away with the law? Of course not! In fact we affirm the importance of the law.
