Galatians 2
1 After 14 years passed, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas. I took Titus also.
आख़िर चौदह बरस के बाद मैं बरनबास के साथ फिर येरूशलेम को गया और तितुस को भी साथ ले गया।
2 But [I tell you that] I went up there because of what God revealed to me. [It was not because someone there asked me to come]. I told people what was the good message that I was preaching in regions where non-Jews live. But I talked privately to those whom your new teachers highly respect. I did that in order that what I was doing and what I had done [MET] might not become useless [MET] [as a result of people rejecting my message because they thought that I was teaching something that was not true].
और मेरा जाना मुक़ाशिफ़ा के मुताबिक़ हुआ; और जिस ख़ुशख़बरी की ग़ैर — क़ौमों में मनादी करता हूँ वो उन से बयान की, मगर तन्हाई में उन्हीं के लोगों से जो कुछ समझे जाते थे, कहीं ऐसा ना हो कि मेरी इस वक़्त की या अगली दौड़ धूप बेफ़ाइदा जाए।
3 But [even though the leaders of the believers usually insisted that when non-Jews trusted in Christ someone must circumcise them], they did not even insist that Titus be circumcised, even though he was a Greek man who was with me.
लेकिन तितुस भी जो मेरे साथ था और यूनानी है ख़तना करने पर मजबूर न किया गया।
4 [I talked to them privately] because some people [successfully] pretended that they were fellow believers and associated with the true believers. They did that in order that they might observe closely what we do because we are free [from having to obey all the Jewish laws and rituals] because of our close relationship with Christ Jesus [MET]. Those people wanted to make us [like] slaves [MET] [of those rituals by convincing us that we cannot trust Christ solely but that we must also obey all the Jewish rituals].
और ये उन झूठे भाइयों की वजह से हुआ जो छिप कर दाख़िल हो गए थे, ताकि उस आज़ादी को जो तुम्हें मसीह ईसा में हासिल है, जासूसों के तौर पर मालूम करके हमे ग़ुलामी में लाएँ।
5 But not even briefly did we [(exc)] do what they wanted [about circumcision. We(exc) resisted them] in order that the truth of the message about Christ might continue to [benefit] you.
उनके ताबे रहना हम ने पल भर के लिए भी मंज़ूर ना किया, ताकि ख़ुशख़बरी की सच्चाई तुम में क़ाईम रहे।
6 The [leaders in Jerusalem], whom your new teachers respect, did not add anything to what I preach. [And I would add that] what status those leaders had did not influence me, because God does not favor certain/important persons [IDM] more than others.
और जो लोग कुछ समझे जाते थे, चाहे वो कैसे ही थे मुझे इससे कुछ भी वास्ता नहीं; ख़ुदा किसी आदमी का तरफ़दार नहीं उनसे जो कुछ समझे जाते थे मुझे कुछ हासिल ना हुआ।
7 Instead of those leaders adding to the message that I tell people, they understood that I had been given the good message {God had given the good message to me} so that I might proclaim it to the non-Jews [MTY], just like [God] had given the good message to Peter so that he might tell it to those who are Jews [MTY].
लेकिन बर'अक्स इसके जब उन्होंने ये देखा कि जिस तरह यहूदी मख़्तूनों को ख़ुशख़बरी देने का काम पतरस के सुपुर्द हुआ
8 That is, just like [God] had empowered/authorized Peter in order that he might be an apostle [to bring God’s message] to the Jews [MTY], he also had empowered/authorized me in order that I might be an apostle to [bring his message to] the non-Jews.
क्यूँकि जिस ने मख़्तूनों की रिसालत के लिए पतरस में असर पैदा किया, उसी ने ग़ैर — यहूदी न मख़्तून क़ौमों के लिए मुझ में भी असर पैदा किया।
9 And [those leaders] knew that God had kindly given to me this special work. So James, Peter, and John, the ones whom your new teachers [respect because they are] leaders [MET] [of the believers], shook hands with us [IDM] [to show that they agreed that Barnabas and I are serving the Lord just like they are, and that we are preaching the same message that they are preaching]. They also agreed that we [(exc)] are the ones whom God was sending to [tell his message to] non-Jews, but that God is sending them to [tell his message to] Jews [MTY].
और जब उन्होंने उस तौफ़ीक़ को मा'लूम किया जो मुझे मिली थी, तो या'क़ूब और कैफ़ा और याहुन ने जो कलीसिया के सुतून समझे जाते थे, मुझे और बरनबास को दहना हाथ देकर शरीक कर लिया, ताकि हम ग़ैर क़ौमों के पास जाएँ और वो मख़्तूनों के पास;
10 They merely urged that we [(exc)] still remember to help the poor [fellow believers who live in Jerusalem]. That is exactly what I have been eager to do.
और सिर्फ़ ये कहा कि ग़रीबों को याद रखना, मगर मैं ख़ुद ही इसी काम की कोशिश में हूँ,
11 But [later while I was at] Antioch [city], after Peter came there, I told him directly [SYN] that what he was doing was wrong.
और जब कैफ़ा अंताकिया शहर में आया तो मैने रु — ब — रु होकर उसकी मुख़ालिफ़त की, क्यूँकि वो मलामत के लायक़ था।
12 [This is what happened]: [Peter went to Antioch and started eating regularly with non-Jewish believers there]. Later there were certain [Jewish believers who] came [to Antioch who claimed that] James, [the leader of the congregations in Jerusalem], had sent them. But when [those certain] men came, Peter gradually quit [eating] with the non-Jewish believers and would not associate with them. He was afraid that the Jewish [believers from Jerusalem would criticize him for associating with non-Jews].
इस लिए कि या'क़ूब की तरफ़ से चन्द लोगों के आने से पहले तो वो ग़ैर — क़ौम वालों के साथ खाया करता था, मगर जब वो आ गए तो मख़्तूनों से डर कर बाज़ रहा और किनारा किया।
13 Also, the other Jewish [believers who were in Antioch] [SYN] acted (insincerely/in a way that they knew was not right) along with [Peter]. The result was that they convinced even Barnabas to [stop associating with the non-Jewish believers]!
और बाक़ी यहूदी ईमानदारों ने भी उसके साथ होकर रियाकारी की यहाँ तक कि बरनबास भी उसके साथ रियाकारी में पड़ गया।
14 But when I realized that they were not acting according to the truth of the message about Christ, [when] all [the fellow believers there] were present, I told Peter [the following]: “Although you [(sg)] are a Jew, [you often conduct yourself] like non-Jews [do by disregarding Jewish laws about food. When you are among non-Jews], you [(sg)] do not customarily conduct yourself at all like Jews [do]. So, (now it is wrong that you [(sg)] are causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs!/why are you [(sg)] causing non-Jews [to think that they must obey all] the Jewish rituals and customs?) [RHQ]”
जब मैंने देखा कि वो ख़ुशख़बरी की सच्चाई के मुताबिक़ सीधी चाल नहीं चलते, तो मैने सब के सामने कैफ़ा से कहा, “जब तू बावजूद यहूदी होने के ग़ैर क़ौमों की तरह ज़िन्दगी गुज़ारता है न कि यहूदियों की तरह तो ग़ैर क़ौमों को यहूदियों की तरह चलने पर क्यूँ मजबूर करता है?”
15 Some of us [believers] were born as Jews. We [(exc)] were not born as non-Jews. [We Jews have always considered non-Jews to be] ‘sinners’ [because they do not obey the Jewish rituals and laws].
जबकि हम पैदाइश से यहूदी हैं, और गुनहगार ग़ैर क़ौमों में से नहीं।
16 But we [(exc)] now know that it is not because some person obeys the laws [that God gave to Moses] that [God] erases the record of that person’s sins. [God erases the record of a person’s sins only if that person trusts in what Jesus Christ has done]. Even we [(exc)] Jews trusted Christ Jesus. We [(exc)] did that in order that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our trusting Christ, and not because of our obeying the laws [that God gave to Moses. God has said that] he will [never] erase the record of people’s sins just because of their obeying those laws.
तोभी ये जान कर कि आदमी शरी'अत के आमाल से नहीं बल्कि सिर्फ़ ईसा मसीह पर ईमान लाने से रास्तबाज़ ठहरता है ख़ुद भी मसीह ईसा पर ईमान लाने से रास्तबाज़ ठहरें न कि शरी'अत के आमाल से क्यूँकि शरी'अत के अमाल से कोई भी बशर रास्त बाज़ न ठहरेगा।
17 Furthermore, because we [(exc) Jews] desired that [God] would erase the record of our sins because of our relationship with Christ, [it means that] we realized that we ourselves were sinners [like non-Jews, whom we called] sinners, [because we(exc) also were not obeying the Jewish rituals and laws]. [But] ([we(inc) certainly cannot conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin./[should we conclude] that it is Christ who causes us to sin?) [RHQ] [No, Christ] certainly does not [cause anyone to sin].
और हम जो मसीह में रास्तबाज़ ठहरना चाहते हैं, अगर ख़ुद ही गुनाहगार निकलें तो क्या मसीह गुनाह का ज़रिया है? हरगिज़ नहीं!
18 So if I should again believe [that God would erase the record of my sins because of my obeying the laws that he gave to Moses] [MET], [I would be like a man who] rebuilds an old building that he tore down. It would [soon] be clear that I am one who disobeys those same laws [that God gave to Moses].
क्यूँकि जो कुछ मैंने शरी'अत को ढा दिया अगर उसे फिर बनाऊँ, तो अपने आप को कुसुरवार ठहराता हूँ।
19 When [I realized that I could not earn God’s favor] by [obeying] the laws [that he gave to Moses, I decided not] to [respond to what those laws demanded] [MET], [just like] a dead person [does not respond to anything]. Now I live to [honor/serve] God.
चुनाँचे मैं शरी'अत ही के वसीले से शरी'अत के ए'तिबार से मारा गया, ताकि ख़ुदा के ए'तिबार से ज़िंदा हो जाऊँ।
20 [It is as though] I was with Christ when he was crucified {died on the cross} [MET] (OR, [It is as though] my [old way of life ended when] Christ died on the cross.) No longer am I [directing the way I behave as I did before I believed in Christ]. Now Christ [is directing how] I [behave. And whatever I do] now while I live, I do it trusting in God’s Son. He is the one who loved me and offered himself [as a sacrifice] for me.
मैं मसीह के साथ मसलूब हुआ हूँ; और अब मैं ज़िंदा न रहा बल्कि मसीह मुझ में ज़िंदा है; और मैं जो अब जिस्म में ज़िन्दगी गुज़ारता हूँ तो ख़ुदा के बेटे पर ईमान लाने से गुज़ारता हूँ, जिसने मुझ से मुहब्बत रखी और अपने आप को मेरे लिए मौत के हवाले कर दिया।
21 I am not rejecting [as useless] what God [did for me] ([kindly/that I did not deserve]), [as my opponents are doing. I fully accept that God saved me by acting kindly towards me]. If it is because people [obey the] laws [that God gave to Moses] that God erases the record of their sins, then Christ died (for nothing/needlessly).
मैं ख़ुदा के फ़ज़ल को बेकार नहीं करता, क्यूँकि रास्तबाज़ी अगर शरी'अत के वसीले से मिलती, तो मसीह का मरना बेकार होता।
