रोमी 9
1 म येशू ख्रीष्टमा साँचो भन्दछु । म ढाँट्दिनँ, र मेरो विवेकले पवित्र आत्मामा मसँगै साक्षी दिन्छ,
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, (pneuma)
2 कि मेरो लागि मेरो हृदयमा असाध्य कष्ट र अटुट पीडा छ ।
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow 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 myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 तिनीहरू इस्राएलीहरू हुन् । धर्मपुत्र हुने अधिकार, महिमा, करारहरू, व्यवस्थाको उपहार, परमेश्वरको आराधना र प्रतिज्ञाहरू उनीहरूकै हुन् ।
Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 ख्रीष्टको शरीरअनुसार ख्रीष्ट आउनुभएका पुर्खाहरू तिनीहरूकै हुन् । उहाँ नै सबैका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । सदासर्वदा उहाँको प्रशंसा भइरहोस् । आमेन । (aiōn g165)
Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 तर यो परमेश्वरका प्रतिज्ञाहरू चुकेकोजस्तो होइन, किनकि इस्राएलका सबै साँचो रूपमा इस्राएलका होइनन् ।
Not as though the word (logos) of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel, which 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 the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your seed be called.
8 अर्थात् शरीरबाट जन्मेका सन्तानहरू परमेश्वरका सन्तानहरू होइनन् । तर प्रतिज्ञाका सन्तानहरू नै सन्तानहरूका रूपमा गनिन्छन् ।
That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 किनकि प्रतिज्ञाको वचन यही हो, “म यही समयमा आउनेछु र सारालाई एउटा छोरो दिइनेछ ।”
For this is the word (logos) of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 यति मात्र होइन, तर रिबेका पनि एक जना व्यक्ति अर्थात् हाम्रा पिता इसहाकबाट गर्भवती भएपछि–
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even 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 the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls; )
12 तिनलाई यसो भनियो, “जेठोले कान्छोको सेवा गर्नेछ ।”
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13 जस्तो लेखिएको थियो, “मैले याकूबलाई प्रेम गरेँ, तर एसावलाई घृणा गरेँ ।”
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have 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? God forbid.
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 says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will 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 that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows 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 unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 त्यसैले, परमेश्वरले जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई दया गर्नुहुन्छ र जसलाई इच्छा गर्नुहुन्छ त्यसलाई कठोर पनि बनाउनुहुन्छ ।
Therefore has he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 तब तिमीहरूले मलाई भन्नेछौ, “उहाँले किन अझ पनि गल्ती नै भेट्टाउनुहुन्छ त?”
You will say then unto me, Why does he yet find fault? For who has resisted 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?”
On the contrary; , O man, who are you that reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?
21 के कुमालेसित उही माटोको डल्लोबाट विशेष प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो र दैनिक प्रयोगको निम्ति प्रयोग गरिने भाँडो बनाउने अधिकार हुँदैन र?
Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
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 longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to 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 the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared unto glory,
24 यदि उहाँले यो हाम्रो निम्ति अर्थात् यहूदीहरूबाट मात्र होइन, तर गैरयहूदीहरूबाट बोलाउनुभएकाहरूका निम्ति यो गर्नुभएको हो भने के त?
Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of 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 Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 र त्यस्तो हुनेछ, कि जहाँ तिनीहरूलाई भनियो, ‘तिमीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू होइनौ’, त्यहाँ तिनीहरू ‘जीवित परमेश्वरका छोराहरू’ भनिनेछन् ।”
And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, All of you are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27 यशैया इस्राएलको विषयमा भन्छन्, “यदि इस्राएलका सन्तानहरूको सङ्ख्या समुद्रको बालुवाजत्ति थिए भने बचाइएकाहरू बाँकी रहेकाहरू मात्र हुनेछन् ।
Isaiah also cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28 किनभने प्रभुले आफ्नो वचन पृथ्वीमा चाँडै र पूर्ण रूपमा पुरा गर्नुहुनेछ,
For he will finish the work, (logos) and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work (logos) will the Lord make upon the earth.
29 अनि यशैयाले अगाडि नै भने, “यदि सेनाहरूका प्रभुले हाम्रा निम्ति सन्तानहरू छोड्नुभएको थिएन भने, हामी सदोम र गमोराजस्ता हुने थियौँ ।”
And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
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, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 तर इस्राएलीहरू, जो व्यवस्थाको धार्मिकताको पछि लागे, तिनीहरू यसमा आइपुगेनन् ।
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 किन पाएनन् त? किनकि तिनीहरूले विश्वासद्वारा खोजेनन्, तर कर्मद्वारा खोजे । तिनीहरू ठेस लाग्ने ढुङ्गामा ठेस खाए,
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that 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 ।”
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
