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 am speaking to people who know about law), that the law controls 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 the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

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, while her husband is living, if she lives with another man, she will be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so she is not an adulteress if she lives with 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 were also made dead to the law through the body of Christ. This is so that you could be joined to another, that is, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might produce fruit for 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, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear 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. We have died to that by which we were held. This is so that we might 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 will we say then? Is the law itself sin? May it never be. However, I would never have known sin, if it were not through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law said, “You must not covet.”

8 तर पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका पायो अनि ममा हर किसिमको अभिलाषा ल्यायो । किनकि व्यवस्थाविना पाप मरेतुल्य हुन्छ ।

But sin took the opportunity through the commandment and brought about every lust in me. For without the law, sin is dead.

9 एक समय म व्यवस्थाविना जीवित थिएँ, तर जब आज्ञा आयो, पापले पुनः जीवन पायो र म मरेँ ।

At one time I was alive without the law, but when the commandment came, sin regained life, and I died.

10 जीवन ल्याउनुपर्ने आज्ञा मेरो निम्ति मृत्युमा परिणत हुन पुग्यो ।

The commandment that was to bring life turned out to be death for me.

11 किनकि पापले यी आज्ञाद्वारा मौका छोप्यो र मलाई छल गर्‍यो । नियमहरूद्वारा यसले मलाई मार्‍यो ।

For sin took the opportunity through the commandment and deceived me. Through the commandment it killed me.

12 त्यसैले, व्यवस्था पवित्र छ, अनि आज्ञा पवित्र, धार्मिक र असल छ ।

So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, 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 ।

So did what is good become death to me? May it never be. But sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin through what is good, brought about death in me. This was in order that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure.

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 of the flesh. I have been sold under slavery to 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 what I do, I do not really understand. For what I want to do, I do not do, and what I hate, 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, I agree with the law that the law is good.

17 तर अब यो गर्ने म होइन, तर ममा रहने पाप हो ।

But now it is no longer I who do it, but the sin that lives 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, lives no good thing. For the desire for good is with me, but I cannot do it.

19 किनकि मैले चाहेको असल थोक म गर्दिनँ, तर म जुन खराब कुरो गर्न चाहन्‍नँ, म त्यही गर्छु ।

For the good that I want I do not do, but the evil that I do not want, that I do.

20 अब म जे गर्न चाहँदिनँ त्यही गर्छु भने, यो गरिरहने म होइन, तर ममा बास गर्ने पाप हो ।

Now if I do what I do not want to do, then it is no longer I who am acting, but rather sin that lives in me.

21 तब मैले ममा असल गर्ने सिद्धान्त भेट्टाउँछु, तर ममा दुष्‍ट वास्तवमै उपस्थित भएको पाउँछु ।

I find, then, the principle in me that I want to do what is good, but that evil is actually present in me.

22 किनकि म भित्री मनुष्यत्वसँगै परमेश्‍वरको व्यवस्थामा आनन्द मनाउँछु ।

For I rejoice in the law of God with the inner man.

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 principle in my body parts. It fights against that new principle in my mind. It takes me captive by the principle of sin that is in my body parts.

24 म दुःखि मानिस हुँ! मलाई यो मृत्युको शरीरबाट कसले छुटकारा देला?

I am a miserable man! Who will deliver me from this body of 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 ।

But thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind. However, with the flesh I serve the principle of sin.
