Galatians 3

1 You [fellow believers who live in] Galatia are very foolish! (Someone must have put an evil spell on you!/Did someone put an evil spell on you?) [RHQ] I clearly explained to you [SYN] [what] Jesus Christ [accomplished when] he was crucified {he died on the cross}.

१अहो बुद्धीहीन गलतीकरांनो, वधस्तंभावर खिळलेला येशू ख्रिस्त ज्यांच्या डोळ्यांपुढे वर्णन करून ठेवला होता, त्या तुम्हास कोणी भुलविले आहे?

2 [So], I want you to tell me one thing: [Do you think that] it was because you obeyed the laws God gave Moses that you received the [Holy] Spirit? [Do you not know that] [RHQ] it was because [when you] heard [the good message concerning Christ, you] trusted in him?

२मला तुम्हापासून इतकेच समजवून घ्यावयाचे आहे की, तुम्हास जो पवित्र आत्मा मिळाला तो नियमशास्त्रातील कृत्यांनी मिळाला की, सुवार्ता ऐकून विश्वास ठेवल्यामुळे मिळाला?

3 (You are acting so foolishly/Why are you being so foolish?) [RHQ]! You first [became Christians] as a result of God’s Spirit [enabling you]. So, (you should not now think that it is by what you yourselves do that you will continue [to grow spiritually]/do you now think it is by your own human efforts that you will continue [to grow spiritually?]!) [RHQ]

३तुम्ही इतके बुद्धीहीन आहात काय? तुम्ही देवाच्या आत्म्याने प्रारंभ केल्यावर आता देहस्वभावाने पूर्णत्व मिळवू पाहत आहात काय?

4 Keep in mind that [if what God has done for you was because of your obeying the laws that God gave to Moses and] not because of trusting in Christ, when others caused you to suffer, you suffered many things needlessly! [RHQ] [I certainly hope that you did not suffer like that] needlessly.

४तुम्ही इतके दुःखे सोसली हे व्यर्थ काय? ह्याला व्यर्थ म्हणावे काय!

5 [When God now] generously gives to you his Spirit and performs miracles among you, [do you think that it is] [RHQ] because you obey the laws [that God gave to Moses? Surely you know that] it is because when you heard [the good message about Christ], you trusted in him [RHQ]!

५म्हणून जो तुम्हास देवाचा आत्मा पुरवतो आणि तुमच्यात चमत्कार करतो तो हे जे सर्व करतो ते नियमशास्त्रातील कृत्यांनी करतो की, सुवार्ता ऐकून विश्वास ठेवल्यामुळे ते तो करतो?

6 [What you have experienced is] as [Moses wrote in the Scriptures about] Abraham. [He wrote that Abraham] trusted God, and as a result, he was considered as being righteous {[God] erased the record of his sins}.

६ज्याप्रमाणे अब्राहामानेही देवावर विश्वास ठेवला व ते त्यास नीतिमत्त्व असे गणण्यात आले. तसे हे झाले.

7 You must realize, therefore, that it is those who trust [in what Christ has done who] are [like] Abraham’s descendants [MET] [because they trust in God as Abraham did].

७ह्यावरून तुम्ही समजून घ्या की, जे विश्वास ठेवतात तेच अब्राहामाचे वंशज आहेत.

8 Furthermore, God planned beforehand that it was [when] non-Jews trusted [him] that he would erase the record of their sins. [Moses wrote in] the Scriptures [PRS] this good message that God told Abraham: “Because of [what] you [did], I will bless [people in] [MTY] all nations.”

८आणि देव परराष्ट्रीयांना विश्वासाने नीतिमान ठरवणार या पूर्वज्ञानामुळे शास्त्रलेखाने, अब्राहामाला पूर्वीच शुभवर्तमान सांगितले की, ‘तुझ्याकडून सर्व राष्ट्रांना आशीर्वाद मिळेल.’

9 So, [we can conclude that] it is those who trust [in what Christ has done] whom [God] blesses. That includes [all non-Jews and Jews who trust him], along with Abraham, the one who trusted him [long ago].

९तर मग जे विश्वास ठेवतात त्यांना विश्वासू अब्राहामाबरोबर आशीर्वाद दिला गेला आहे.

10 That is, God will eternally punish all those who [mistakenly] think [that God will erase the record of their sins] as a result of their [obeying] the laws [that God gave to Moses]. What is written in the Scriptures is that [God] will eternally punish everyone who does not continuously and completely obey all the laws [that Moses wrote].

१०कारण नियमशास्त्रातील कृत्यांवर जितके अवलंबून राहणारे आहेत तितके शापाच्या अधीन आहे कारण पवित्र शास्त्रात असे लिहिले आहे की, ‘नियमशास्त्राच्या पुस्तकात जे लिहिलेले आहे ते सर्व पाळण्यास जो टिकून राहत नाही तो शापित आहे.’

11 But God has declared that if he erases the record of anyone’s sins, it will not be as a result of their obeying the laws God gave Moses. [This is evident because the Scriptures say], “Every person whose record of sins God erases because that person trusts God will live [spiritually].”

११नियमशास्त्राने कोणीही देवासमोर नीतिमान ठरत नाही, हे उघड आहे; कारण ‘नीतिमान विश्वासाने जगेल.’

12 But [when God gave] his laws [to the Jews, he did] not [say that a person must] trust [him]. Instead, [God said that] it is those who obey [all God’s laws, continuously and completely], who will live.

१२आणि नियमशास्त्र तर विश्वासाचे नाही पण ‘जो त्यातील कृत्ये आचरतो तो त्यांच्यायोगे जगेल.’

13 Even though we humans have not continuously and completely obeyed God’s laws, Christ rescued us from [God] punishing us eternally. Christ rescued us by his being [the one God condemned] instead of God condemning us. What is written {[someone/Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] shows that this is true. It is written {[He] wrote}, “[God] has cursed anyone [whom people have executed for his crimes and whose body they] have hung on a tree.”

१३आपल्याबद्दल ख्रिस्त शाप झाला आणि त्याने आपणाला नियमशास्त्राच्या शापापासून खंडणी भरून सोडविले; असा शास्त्रलेख आहे ‘जो कोणी झाडावर टांगलेला आहे तो शापित आहे’, असा शास्त्रलेख आहे.

14 Jesus Christ rescued us in order that as a result of what he [has done, God might bless the non-Jews, in a way similar to the way] God blessed Abraham. He also desired that as a result of our trusting [Christ], we [all] might receive the Spirit [whom God] promised to [give to] us.

१४ह्यात उद्देश हा की, अब्राहामाला दिलेला आशीर्वाद ख्रिस्त येशूच्या द्वारे परराष्ट्रीयांना मिळावा, म्हणजे आपल्या विश्वासाद्वारे आत्म्याविषयीचे अभिवचन मिळावे.

15 My fellow believers, I will now [illustrate] by referring to human [relationships. After an agreement is confirmed by two people] {[two people have signed] an agreement}, no one can reject it or add to it.

१५आणि बंधूंनो, मी हे व्यावहारिक दृष्टीने बोलतो. एखाद्या मनुष्याचा करारदेखील तो स्थापित केला गेल्यानंतर कोणी रद्द करीत नाही किंवा त्यामध्ये भर घालीत नाही.

16 [God] declared to Abraham and his descendant that he was promising [to give blessings to Abraham]. [The words that God spoke were not “and your] descendants.” [He was not] referring to many persons. Instead, he was referring to one person, who is Christ, [because the words that God spoke were], “and your descendant.”

१६आता, जी वचने अब्राहामाला व त्याच्या संतानाला दिली होती. तो ‘संतानांना’ असे अनेकाविषयी म्हणत नाही, पण ‘तुझ्या संतानाला’ असे एकाविषयी म्हणतो आणि तो एक ख्रिस्त आहे.

17 This is what I am saying: [Since God] gave the laws [to the Jews] 430 years after [he declared to Abraham what he was promising to do for Abraham], those laws do not cancel that agreement [with] Abraham that God himself had previously agreed about [PRS].

१७आणि, मी हे म्हणतो की, देवाने तो करार आधीच स्थापल्यावर चारशेतीस वर्षांनंतर झालेल्या नियमशास्त्रामुळे संपुष्टात येऊन त्यामुळे अभिवचन रद्द करू होत नाही.

18 Remember that if it is because [we obey God’s] laws [that he gives to us] what [he has] promised [to give to us], then it is not [just] because he [has] promised [that he would give those things to us]. God freely gave to Abraham [what he had promised to give to him, just] because [God had] promised [that he would give it to him. Similarly, it is not because we obey God’s laws that God gives to us what he has promised to give to us].

१८कारण वतन जर नियमशास्त्राने प्राप्त होते, तर ते ह्यापुढे अभिवचनाने होणार नाही; परंतु अब्राहामाला देवाने ते कृपेने अभिवचनाद्वारे दिले.

19 So, [if someone should ask], “Why [did God later give] his laws [to Moses?” I would reply that] it was in order that [people might realize] how sinful they were. [Those laws were valid] until [Jesus came. He was] the descendant that God [was referring to when he made] the promises to Abraham. [The laws] were given {[God] gave [his laws]} [to Moses] by God’s causing angels to [speak to him. Moses was the] mediator, [the one who told the laws to the people].

१९तर मग नियमशास्त्र कशाला? कारण, ज्या संतानास वचन दिले होते त्याचे येणे होईपर्यंत ते उल्लंघनामुळे नियमशास्त्र देण्यात आले; ते मध्यस्थाच्या हाती देवदूतांच्याद्वारे नेमून आले.

20 Now, [when] a mediator [functions], one [person] is not [speaking with another] directly; but God himself [made his promises directly to Abraham].

२०मध्यस्थ हा एकपेक्षा अधिकांसाठी असतो; तरीही देव तर एकच आहे.

21 [If someone should ask, “When God gave his] laws [to Moses] long [after he told Abraham] what he was promising [to give to him, was he] changing his mind?” [I would reply that God] certainly did not [change his mind when he did that]! If God had given a law that could enable people to live [eternally], then it actually would be because of people [obeying that] law that God would erase the record of their sins.

२१तर काय नियमशास्त्र हे देवाच्या वचनाविरुद्ध आहे? कधीच नाही कारण जीवन देण्यास समर्थ असलेले नियमशास्त्र देण्यात आले असते तर, नीतिमत्त्व खरोखरच नियमशास्त्राने प्राप्त झाले असते.

22 But instead, [what we read in] the Scriptures [PRS] is that God [caused all people to be unable to escape being punished for] their [sins] [MET], just like [people] in prison [are unable to escape] [PRS, MET]. [God did that in order that he might give what he promised to those who trust Jesus Christ, just] because they trust him.

२२तरी त्याऐवजी, नियमशास्त्राने सर्वांस पापामध्ये कोंडून ठेवले, या उद्देशासाठी की, विश्वास ठेवणार्‍यांना येशू ख्रिस्ताच्या विश्वासाने जे अभिवचन आहे ते देण्यात यावे.

23 Before [God revealed the good message about] trusting [in Christ], the laws [PRS] that God gave to Moses were [confining/imprisoning us Jews] [MET], [as] a prisoner [in jail is] confined. [We] were unable to escape [obeying those] [MET] [laws]. This happened in order that [we might believe] the good message [concerning Christ, the message that God would] reveal [later].

२३परंतु ख्रिस्तात विश्वास आला त्यापुर्वी, हा जो विश्वास प्रकट होणार होता, तो येण्याअगोदर आपण बंदिवान असता आपल्याला नियमशास्त्राखाली असे रखवालीत ठेवले होते.

24 [Like a father supervises his immature son by appointing a] servant to take care of him [MET], [God] was supervising us [by] his laws [MET, PRS] until Christ came. [He did this] in order that he might erase the record of our sins [only] because we trust [Christ].

२४ह्यांवरून आपण विश्वासाने नीतिमान ठरविले जावे म्हणून नियमशास्त्र आपल्याला ख्रिस्ताकडे पोहचवणारे बालरक्षक होते.

25 But [now that God] has revealed the message [about trusting in Christ], the laws [that God gave to Moses] are no longer supervising us [Jews] [PRS, MET].

२५पण आता, विश्वासाचे येणे झाले आहे म्हणून आपण ह्यापुढे बालरक्षकाच्या अधीन राहिलो नाही.

26 Now all of you [Jews and] non-Jews are [as though you are] God’s children because you trusted Christ Jesus.

२६पण तुम्ही सर्व ख्रिस्त येशूवरील विश्वासाच्याद्वारे देवाचे पुत्र आहात.

27 That is, you who [began a relationship] with Christ when you were baptized identified yourselves [MET] with Christ.

२७कारण ख्रिस्तात तुम्हामधील जितक्यांचा बाप्तिस्मा झाला आहे तितक्यांनी ख्रिस्ताला परिधान केले आहे.

28 [If you are believers, it does] not [matter to God if you are] Jews or non-Jews; slaves or ones [who are] not slaves; males or females, because all of you are [as] one [sort of person because of your relationship] with Christ Jesus.

२८यहूदी किंवा ग्रीक, दास किंवा स्वतंत्र नाही, पुरूष किंवा स्त्री हा भेदच नाही कारण ख्रिस्त येशूमध्ये तुम्ही सर्वजण एकच आहात.

29 Furthermore, since you belong to Christ, you are [like] Abraham’s descendants [because you trust God as Abraham did], and you will possess/receive all that God has promised [MET].

२९आणि तुम्ही जर ख्रिस्ताचे आहा; तर तुम्ही अब्राहामाचे संतान आणि अभिवचनाप्रमाणे वारीस आहात.
