रोमी 4
1 तब हामी के भनौँ त? हाम्रा पुर्खा अब्राहामले शरीरअनुसार के पाए त?
What, then, will we say Abraham our father to have found, according to flesh?
2 यदि अब्राहाम कामद्वारा धर्मी ठहरिएका भए, उनले घमण्ड गर्ने कारण हुन्थ्यो, तर परमेश्वरको सामु त होइन ।
For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has to boast—but not before God;
3 किनकि धर्मशास्त्रले के भन्छ? “अब्राहामले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरे, र यो उनको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।”
for what does the writing say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”;
4 अब जसले काम गर्छ, त्यसको ज्यालालाई अनुग्रहको रूपमा गनिँदैन, तर पाउनुपर्ने कुराको रूपमा गनिन्छ ।
and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
5 तर त्यसको निम्ति जसले काम गर्दैन, तर त्यसको सट्टा अधर्मीलाई धर्मी ठहराउनुहुनेमा विश्वास गर्छ, त्यसको विश्वासलाई धार्मिकताको रूपमा गनिन्छ ।
and to him who is not working, and is believing on Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned for righteousness—
6 दाऊदले पनि कामविना नै परमेश्वरले धार्मिकता गान्नुभएको मानिसलाई आशिष् घोषणा गर्छन् ।
even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
7 उनले भने, “ती धन्य हुन्, जसका अधर्महरू क्षमा भएका छन् र जसका पापहरू ढाकिएका छन् ।”
“Blessed [are] they whose lawless acts were forgiven, And whose sins were covered;
8 त्यो मानिस धन्यको हो, जसको विरुद्धमा परमेश्वरले पापको लेखा राख्नुहुन्न ।”
Blessed [is] the man To whom the LORD may not reckon sin.”
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 ।”
[Is] this blessedness, then, on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision—for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness?
10 त्यसो हो भने, यो कसरी गनियो त? अब्राहाम खतनामा हुँदा वा बेखतना हुँदा? यो खतनामा हुँदा भएको थिएन, तर बेखतनामा हुँदा भएको थियो ।
How then was it reckoned? He being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
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 ।
and he received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
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 father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
13 किनकि अब्राहाम र उनका सन्तानहरूलाई दिइएको प्रतिज्ञा अर्थात् तिनीहरू संसारको उत्तराधिकार हुने प्रतिज्ञा व्यवस्थाद्वारा दिइएको थिएन । बरु, यो विश्वासको धार्मिकताद्वारा थियो ।
For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
14 किनकि यदि ती व्यवस्थाकाहरू उत्तराधिकारीहरू हुन् भने विश्वासीलाई त रित्तो बनाइयो र प्रतिज्ञालाई रद्द गरियो ।
for if they who are of law [are] heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless;
15 किनकि व्यवस्थाले क्रोध ल्याउँछ, तर जहाँ व्यवस्था छैन त्यहाँ अनाज्ञाकारिता हुँदैन ।
for the Law works wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] 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 ।
Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the Law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,
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 ।
who is father of us all (according as it has been written: “A father of many nations I have set you,”) before Him whom he believed—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that are not as being.
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 ।
Who, against hope, believed in hope, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: “So will your seed 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 having not been weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead (being about one hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb,
20 तर परमेश्वरको प्रतिज्ञाका कारण, अब्राहाम अविश्वासमा रोकिएनन् । बरु, उनलाई विश्वासमा बलियो बनाइयो र उनले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे ।
and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
21 परमेश्वरले जे कुरा प्रतिज्ञा गर्नुभएको थियो, त्यो उहाँ पुरा गर्न सक्षम पनि हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनी उनी पूर्ण रूपमा विश्वस्त थिए ।
and having been fully persuaded that what He has promised He is also able to do:
22 त्यसकारण, यो उनको निम्ति धार्मिकता गनियो ।
for this reason also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
23 अब यो केवल उनको भलाइको निम्ति गनिएको थिएन ।
And it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
24 यो हाम्रो निम्ति पनि लेखिएको थियो, जसको निम्ति यो गनिनेछ, हामी जसले हाम्रा येशू प्रभुलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुहुनेमा विश्वास गर्छौं ।
but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned—to us believing on Him who raised up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
25 यो उहाँ नै हुनुहुन्छ जसलाई हाम्रा अपराधका लागि सुम्पिएको थियो, र हामीलाई धर्मी ठहराउन जीवित पारिएको थियो ।
who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
