< रोमी 7 >
1 भाइ हो, के तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छैन (किनकि म व्यवस्था जान्नेहरूसित बोल्दै छु), कि व्यवस्थाले मानिस जीवित रहँदासम्म मात्र नियन्त्रण गर्छ?
Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
2 किनकि एक विवाहित स्त्री आफ्नो पति जीवित रहँदासम्म व्यवस्थाद्वारा बाँधिएकी हुन्छे, तर यदि उसको पति मर्यो भने ऊ त्यो विवाहको व्यवस्थाबाट मुक्त हुन्छे ।
For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3 त्यस्तै, उसको पति जीवित हुँदा ऊ अर्को पुरुषसँग बसी भने, उसलाई व्यभिचारिणी स्त्री भनिनेछ । तर उसको पति मर्यो भने, ऊ त्यस व्यवस्थाबाट मुक्त हुन्छे, अनि अर्को पुरुषसँग बसी भने पनि ऊ व्यभिचारिणी हुँदिन ।
So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to another man.
4 त्यसैले, मेरा भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू पनि ख्रीष्टको शरीरद्वारा व्यवस्थाको निम्ति मरेका थियौ । हामीले परमेश्वरको निम्ति फल फलाउन सकौँ भनेर तिमीहरू अर्कैसँग अर्थात् मृतकहरूबाट जीवित पारिनुभएकासँग एक हुन सक्यौ ।
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear fruit to God.
5 किनकि जब हामी शरीरमा थियौँ, व्यवस्थाद्वारा मृत्युको निम्ति फल फलाउन हाम्रा अङ्गहरूमा पापमय स्वभावहरू सक्रिय गराइए ।
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
6 तर अब हामी व्यवस्थाबाट स्वतन्त्र पारिएका छौँ । हामीलाई जुन कुराले बाँधेको थियो, त्यसको निम्ति हामी मरेका छौँ । हामीले पुरानो विधानमा होइन, तर पवित्र आत्माको नयाँपनमा सेवा गर्न सकौँ भनेर यसो भएको हो ।
But now we have been released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
7 त्यसो भए, हामी के भनौँ त? के व्यवस्था आफैँ पाप हो? यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस् । तथापि यदि व्यवस्था नभएको भए मैले कहिल्यै पाप जान्ने थिइनँ । किनकि यदि व्यवस्थाले, “तैँले लोभ नगर्” नभनेसम्म मैले लोभ के हो भनी कहिल्यै जान्ने थिइनँ ।
What should we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had said, "Do not covet."
8 तर पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका पायो अनि ममा हर किसिमको अभिलाषा ल्यायो । किनकि व्यवस्थाविना पाप मरेतुल्य हुन्छ ।
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
9 एक समय म व्यवस्थाविना जीवित थिएँ, तर जब आज्ञा आयो, पापले पुनः जीवन पायो र म मरेँ ।
I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
10 जीवन ल्याउनुपर्ने आज्ञा मेरो निम्ति मृत्युमा परिणत हुन पुग्यो ।
The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11 किनकि पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका छोप्यो र मलाई छल गर्यो । नियमहरूद्वारा यसले मलाई मार्यो ।
for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
12 त्यसैले, व्यवस्था पवित्र छ, अनि आज्ञा पवित्र, धार्मिक र असल छ ।
Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
13 त्यसैले, के जे असल छ त्यो मेरो निम्ति मृत्यु बन्यो? यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस् । तर पापलाई पाप नै देखाउन सकियोस् भनी जे असल थियो त्यसद्वारा ममा मृत्यु ल्याइयो । आज्ञाद्वारा यस्तो भयो, ताकि पाप अत्यधिक पापमय बन्न सकोस् ।
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
14 हामी जान्दछौँ, कि व्यवस्था आत्मिक हो, तर म शारीरिक हुँ । म पापको दासत्वमा बेचिएको छु ।
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15 किनभने म जे गर्छु, त्यो म वास्तवमा बुझ्दिनँ । किनकि म जे गर्न चाहन्छु, त्यो म गर्दिनँ; अनि म जेलाई घृणा गर्छु, म त्यही गर्छु ।
For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16 तर म जे चाहँदिनँ म त्यही गर्छु भने, व्यवस्था असल हो भनी म व्यवस्थासँग सहमत हुन्छु ।
But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 तर अब यो गर्ने म होइन, तर ममा रहने पाप हो ।
So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
18 किनकि म जान्दछु, कि ममा अर्थात् मेरो शरीरमा कुनै पनि असल थोक बास गर्दैन । किनकि ममा असल गर्ने इच्छा छ, तर म यो गर्न सक्दिनँ ।
For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
19 किनकि मैले चाहेको असल थोक म गर्दिनँ, तर म जुन खराब कुरो गर्न चाहन्नँ, म त्यही गर्छु ।
For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
20 अब म जे गर्न चाहँदिनँ त्यही गर्छु भने, यो गरिरहने म होइन, तर ममा बास गर्ने पाप हो ।
But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
21 तब मैले ममा असल गर्ने सिद्धान्त भेट्टाउँछु, तर ममा दुष्ट वास्तवमै उपस्थित भएको पाउँछु ।
I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
22 किनकि म भित्री मनुष्यत्वसँगै परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थामा आनन्द मनाउँछु ।
For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
23 तर मैले मेरा अङ्गहरूमा फरक सिद्धान्त देख्छु । यसले मेरो मनको नयाँ सिद्धान्तसँग लड्छ । मेरा अङ्गहरूमा भएको सिद्धान्तद्वारा यसले मलाई पापको कैदी बनाउँछ ।
but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
24 म दुःखि मानिस हुँ! मलाई यो मृत्युको शरीरबाट कसले छुटकारा देला?
What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
25 तर हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद होस्! त्यसैले, म आफैँले मेरो मनले परमेश्वरको व्यवस्थाको सेवा गर्छु । तापनि शरीरले म पापको सिद्धान्तको सेवा गर्छु ।
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
