रोमी 4

1 तब हामी के भनौँ त? हाम्रा पुर्खा अब्राहामले शरीरअनुसार के पाए त?

What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?

2 यदि अब्राहाम कामद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिएका भए, उनले घमण्ड गर्ने कारण हुन्थ्यो, तर परमेश्‍वरको सामु त होइन ।

For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.

3 किनकि धर्मशास्‍त्रले के भन्छ? “अब्राहामले परमेश्‍वरमा विश्‍वास गरे, र यो उनको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।”

For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.

4 अब जसले काम गर्छ, त्यसको ज्यालालाई अनुग्रहको रूपमा गनिँदैन, तर पाउनुपर्ने कुराको रूपमा गनिन्छ ।

Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:

5 तर त्यसको निम्ति जसले काम गर्दैन, तर त्यसको सट्टा अधर्मीलाई धर्मी ठहराउनुहुनेमा विश्‍वास गर्छ, त्यसको विश्‍वासलाई धार्मिकताको रूपमा गनिन्‍छ ।

But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.

6 दाऊदले पनि कामविना नै परमेश्‍वरले धार्मिकता गान्‍नुभएको मानिसलाई आशिष्‌‌ घोषणा गर्छन् ।

Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,

7 उनले भने, “ती धन्य हुन्, जसका अधर्महरू क्षमा भएका छन् र जसका पापहरू ढाकिएका छन् ।”

Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.

8 त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसको विरुद्धमा परमेश्‍वरले पापको लेखा राख्‍नुहुन्‍न ।”

Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.

9 तब के यो आशिष्‌‌ केवल ती खतना भएकाहरूका लागि मात्रै भनिएको हो वा ती खतना नगरिएकाहरूका लागि पनि भनिएको हो? किनकि हामी भन्छौँ, “अब्राहामको निम्ति विश्‍वास धार्मिकताको रूपमा गनियो ।”

Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.

10 त्यसो हो भने, यो कसरी गनियो त? अब्राहाम खतनामा हुँदा वा बेखतना हुँदा? यो खतनामा हुँदा भएको थिएन, तर बेखतनामा हुँदा भएको थियो ।

Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.

11 अब्राहामले खतनाको चिन्ह पाए । यो विश्‍वासको धार्मिकताको छाप थियो, जुन उनी बेखतनाको हुँदा नै पाइसकेका थिए । यो चिन्हको परिणामचाहिँ तिनीहरू बेखतनामै भए तापनि उनी विश्‍वास गर्ने सबैका पिता भए । यसको मतलब यो हो, कि त्यो धार्मिकता तिनीहरूको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनिनेछ ।

After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also,

12 यसको अर्थ यो हो, कि अब्राहाम खतनाबाट आएकाहरूका निम्ति मात्र होइन, तर हाम्रा पिता अब्राहामको कदम पछ्याउनेहरूका निम्ति पनि पिता भए । र उनी बेखतनामा हुँदा नै उनीसँग विश्‍वास थियो ।

And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised.

13 किनकि अब्राहाम र उनका सन्तानहरूलाई दिइएको प्रतिज्ञा अर्थात् तिनीहरू संसारको उत्तराधिकार हुने प्रतिज्ञा व्यवस्थाद्वारा दिइएको थिएन । बरु, यो विश्‍वासको धार्मिकताद्वारा थियो ।

For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.

14 किनकि यदि ती व्यवस्थाकाहरू उत्तराधिकारीहरू हुन् भने विश्‍वासीलाई त रित्तो बनाइयो र प्रतिज्ञालाई रद्द गरियो ।

For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.

15 किनकि व्यवस्थाले क्रोध ल्याउँछ, तर जहाँ व्यवस्था छैन त्यहाँ अनाज्ञाकारिता हुँदैन ।

For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.

16 यसैले, यो विश्‍वासद्वारा हुन्छ, ताकि त्यो अनुग्रहद्वारा हुन सकोस् । परिणामस्वरूप, प्रतिज्ञा सारा सन्तानहरूका निम्ति निश्‍चित छ । अनि यी सन्तानहरूले केवल व्यवस्था जान्‍नेहरूलाई मात्र होइन, तर ती अब्राहामको विश्‍वासबाट आएकाहरूलाई पनि समेट्छन् । किनकि उनी हामी सबैका पिता हुन् ।

Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,

17 जस्तो लेखिएको छ, “मैले तिमीलाई धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बनाएको छु ।” अब्राहाम आफूले भरोसा गरेका परमेश्‍वरको उपस्थितिमा थिए, जसले मरेकालाई जीवन दिनुहुन्छ र अस्तित्वमा नभएका थोकहरूलाई अस्तित्वमा ल्याउन सक्‍नुहुन्छ ।

(As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.

18 यी सारा बाहिरी परिस्थितिहरूका बाबजुद पनि भविष्यको निम्ति अब्राहामले परमेश्‍वरमा दृढतासाथ भरोसा गरे । त्यसैले, उनी “तेरा सन्तानहरू यस्तै हुनेछन्” भनिएअनुसार धेरै जातिहरूका पिता बने ।

Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be.

19 उनी विश्‍वासमा कमजोर थिएनन् । अब्राहामले बुझे, कि उनको शरीर बालक जन्माउन समर्थ थिएन (किनकि उनी करिब एक सय वर्ष पुगेका थिए) । साराको कोख पनि बालक पैदा गर्न समर्थ थिएन भन्‍ने पनि उनले स्वीकार गरे ।

And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.

20 तर परमेश्‍वरको प्रतिज्ञाका कारण, अब्राहाम अविश्‍वासमा रोकिएनन् । बरु, उनलाई विश्‍वासमा बलियो बनाइयो र उनले परमेश्‍वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।

Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,

21 परमेश्‍वरले जे कुरा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो, त्यो उहाँ पुरा गर्न सक्षम पनि हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी उनी पूर्ण रूपमा विश्‍वस्त थिए ।

Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.

22 त्यसकारण, यो उनको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.

23 अब यो केवल उनको भलाइको निम्ति गनिएको थिएन ।

Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,

24 यो हाम्रो निम्ति पनि लेखिएको थियो, जसको निम्ति यो गनिनेछ, हामी जसले हाम्रा येशू प्रभुलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुहुनेमा विश्‍वास गर्छौं ।

But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,

25 यो उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई हाम्रा अपराधका लागि सुम्पिएको थियो, र हामीलाई धर्मी ठहराउन जीवित पारिएको थियो ।

Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
