रोमी 9
1 म येशू ख्रीष्टमा साँचो भन्दछु । म ढाँट्दिनँ, र मेरो विवेकले पवित्र आत्मामा मसँगै साक्षी दिन्छ,
I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
2 कि मेरो लागि मेरो हृदयमा असाध्य कष्ट र अटुट पीडा छ ।
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
3 म इच्छा गर्थें, कि मेरा भाइहरू अर्थात् शरीरअनुसार आफ्नै जातिका खातिर म आफैँचाहिँ श्रापित होऊँ र ख्रीष्टबाट अलग गरिऊँ ।
For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
4 तिनीहरू इस्राएलीहरू हुन् । धर्मपुत्र हुने अधिकार, महिमा, करारहरू, व्यवस्थाको उपहार, परमेश्वरको आराधना र प्रतिज्ञाहरू उनीहरूकै हुन् ।
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
5 ख्रीष्टको शरीरअनुसार ख्रीष्ट आउनुभएका पुर्खाहरू तिनीहरूकै हुन् । उहाँ नै सबैका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । सदासर्वदा उहाँको प्रशंसा भइरहोस् । आमेन । (aiōn g165)
of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed for the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
6 तर यो परमेश्वरका प्रतिज्ञाहरू चुकेकोजस्तो होइन, किनकि इस्राएलका सबै साँचो रूपमा इस्राएलका होइनन् ।
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
7 न त अब्राहामका सबै सन्तानहरू साँचो रूपमा उनका सन्तानहरू नै हुन् । तर, “इसहाकबाट नै तेरा सन्तानहरू भनिनेछन् ।”
Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
8 अर्थात् शरीरबाट जन्मेका सन्तानहरू परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू होइनन् । तर प्रतिज्ञाका सन्तानहरू नै सन्तानहरूका रूपमा गनिन्छन् ।
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
9 किनकि प्रतिज्ञाको वचन यही हो, “म यही समयमा आउनेछु र सारालाई एउटा छोरो दिइनेछ ।”
For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 यति मात्र होइन, तर रिबेका पनि एक जना व्यक्ति अर्थात् हाम्रा पिता इसहाकबाट गर्भवती भएपछि–
Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
11 किनकि सन्तानहरू अझ जन्मेका थिएनन् र उनीहरूले कुनै असल वा खराब केही गरेका थिएनन्, ताकि परमेश्वरको उद्देश्य कर्महरूका कारण होइन, तर बोलाउनुहुनेको कारणले चुनाउअनुसार ठहरियोस् भनेर
For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
12 तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “जेठोले कान्छोको सेवा गर्नेछ ।”
it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
13 जस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “मैले याकूबलाई प्रेम गरेँ, तर एसावलाई घृणा गरेँ ।”
Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 त्यसो हो भने, हामी के भनौँ त? के परमेश्वरसित अधार्मिकता छ त? कहिल्यै यस्तो नहोस् ।
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
15 किनकि उहाँ मोशालाई भन्नुहुन्छ, “जसमाथि म दया देखाउन चाहन्छु, त्यसमाथि म दया देखाउँछु, र जसमाथि म करुणा देखाउन चाहन्छु, त्यसमाथि म करुणा देखाउँछु ।”
For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 त्यसैले, यो इच्छा गर्नेको कारणले होइन, न त दौडनेको कारणले नै हो, तर दया देखाउनुहुने परमेश्वरको कारणले नै हो ।
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
17 किनकि धर्मशास्त्रले फारोलाई भन्छ, “यही उद्देश्यको निम्ति मैले तँलाई खडा गरेँ, ताकि मैले तँमा मेरो शक्ति प्रदर्शन गर्न सकूँ, र सारा पृथ्वीमा मेरो नाउँ घोषणा गरियोस् ।”
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 त्यसैले, परमेश्वरले जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई दया गर्नुहुन्छ र जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई कठोर पनि बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
19 तब तिमीहरूले मलाई भन्नेछौ, “उहाँले किन अझ पनि गल्ती नै भेट्टाउनुहुन्छ त?”
You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
20 त्यसको विपरीत, हे मानिस, परमेश्वरको विरुद्धमा जवाफहरू दिने तिमी को हौ? के आकार दिइएको थोकले आकार दिनेलाई यसो भन्छ, “तिमीले मलाई किन यस्तो बनाएको?”
But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
21 के कुमालेसित उही माटोको डल्लोबाट विशेष प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो र दैनिक प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो बनाउने अधिकार हुँदैन र?
Or has not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
22 परमेश्वरले नै उहाँको क्रोध प्रकट गर्न र विनाशको निम्ति तयार पारिएका भाँडाहरूलाई निकै धैर्यसाथ सहिरहने इच्छा गरिरहनुभएको छ भने के त?
What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
23 यदि उहाँले पहिलेबाट नै महिमाको निम्ति तयार पार्नुभएको दयाका भाँडाहरूमाथि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट गर्न यसो गर्नुभएको हो भने के त?
and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
24 यदि उहाँले यो हाम्रो निम्ति अर्थात् यहूदीहरूबाट मात्र होइन, तर गैरयहूदीहरूबाट बोलाउनुभएकाहरूका निम्ति यो गर्नुभएको हो भने के त?
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
25 जसरी उहाँ होशेको पुस्तकमा भन्नुहुन्छ, “जो मेरा मानिसहरू थिएनन्, म तिनीहरूलाई मेरा मानिसहरू भन्नेछु, र जो प्रिय थिएनन् तिनलाई प्रिय भन्नेछु ।
As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
26 र त्यस्तो हुनेछ, कि जहाँ तिनीहरूलाई भनियो, ‘तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू होइनौ’, त्यहाँ तिनीहरू ‘जीवित परमेश्वरका छोराहरू’ भनिनेछन् ।”
“It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
27 यशैया इस्राएलको विषयमा भन्छन्, “यदि इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सङ्ख्या समुद्रको बालुवाजत्ति थिए भने बचाइएकाहरू बाँकी रहेकाहरू मात्र हुनेछन् ।
Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
28 किनभने प्रभुले आफ्नो वचन पृथ्वीमा चाँडै र पूर्ण रूपमा पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ,
for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
29 अनि यशैयाले अगाडि नै भने, “यदि सेनाहरूका प्रभुले हाम्रा निम्ति सन्तानहरू छोड्नुभएको थिएन भने, हामी सदोम र गमोराजस्ता हुने थियौँ ।”
As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
30 त्यसो भए, हामी के भनौँ त? गैरयहूदीहरू जसले धार्मिकतालाई पछ्याइरहेका थिएनन्, तिनीहरूले धार्मिकता अर्थात् विश्वासद्वारा आउने धार्मिकता प्राप्त गरे ।
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 तर इस्राएलीहरू, जो व्यवस्थाको धार्मिकताको पछि लागे, तिनीहरू यसमा आइपुगेनन् ।
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at the law of righteousness.
32 किन पाएनन् त? किनकि तिनीहरूले विश्वासद्वारा खोजेनन्, तर कर्मद्वारा खोजे । तिनीहरू ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गामा ठेस खाए,
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 जस्तो लेखिएको छ, “हेर, मैले सियोनमा एउटा ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गा र चोट लाग्ने चट्टान राख्दै छु । जसले यसमा विश्वास गर्छ त्यो लज्जित हुनेछैन ।”
even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
