रोमी 4:13-24

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

13 अब्राहाम र उनका भावी सन्तानहरूले परमेश्वरको प्रतिज्ञा पाए कि उनीहरूले सारा संसार पाउने छन्। अब्राहामले त्यो प्रतिज्ञा पाएको व्यवस्थालाई विश्वास गरेको कारणले होइन। अब्राहामले परमेश्वरको प्रतिज्ञा पाएको कारण उनी आफ्नो विश्वासले गर्दा धर्मी थिए।
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

14 यदि मानिसहरूले व्यवस्था पछयाएर परमेश्वरको वचन पाउने भए, तब विश्वास मूल्यहीन बन्ने थियो, र परमेश्वरको अब्राहामसँग को प्रतिज्ञा बेकम्मा बन्ने थियो।
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

15 किन? किनभने जब मानिसहरूले व्यवस्था पालन गर्दैनन् तब व्यवस्थाले परमेश्वरलाई रिस उठाउँछ। तर यदि त्यहाँ कुनै व्यवस्था छैन भने, त्यहाँ अनाज्ञाकारीताको कुनै प्रश्न आउँदैन।
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

16 यसकारण परमेश्वरको विश्वास प्रतिज्ञाको फल हो। त्यसैले परमेश्वरको प्रतिज्ञा सित्तैको उपहार जस्तै पाउन सकिन्छ। अनि यदि प्रतिज्ञा सित्तैको उपहार भए, अब्राहामका विश्वास हुने सबै मानिसहरूले त्यो वचन पाउन सक्छन्। यो प्रतिज्ञा ती मानिसहरूका लागि मात्र होइन जो मोशाको व्यवस्थाको अधीनमा छन्। प्रतिज्ञा सबैको निम्ति हो जो अब्राहाम जस्तै विश्वासी थिए। अब्राहाम हामी सबैका पिता हुन्।
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 धर्मशास्त्रमा यस्तो लेखिएको छ, “मैले तिमीलाई सबै जातिका पिता बनाएँ”यो परमेश्वर समक्ष सत्य छ। अब्राहामले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरे जसले मृतहरूलाई जीवन दिनुहुन्छ र जुन कुराहरू अहिलेसम्म भएको छैन त्यसको निर्णय दिनुहुन्छ।
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18 अब्राहामको सन्तान हुनेछ भन्ने आशा थिएन। तर अब्राहामले परमेश्वरमा विश्वास गरे र आशा जीवित राखे। त्यही कारणले अब्राहाम धेरै जातिका पिता भए। परमेश्वरले जस्तो उनलाई भन्नुभयो, “तिमीसँग धेरै सन्तानहरू हुनेछन्।”
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 अब्राहाम प्रायः एकसय र्वष उमेर पुगिसकेका थिए, यसैले उनको शरीरबाट सन्तानहरू हुन उमेर बितिसकेको थियो। सारहबाट पनि कुनै छोरा-छोरी भएन। अब्राहामले यसको विषयमा सोचेका थिए। तर परमेश्वरप्रति उनको विश्वास कमजोर भएन।
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 परमेश्वरले प्रतिज्ञा गर्नु भएको कुरा गर्नुहुनेछ भन्ने कुरामा अब्राहामले किहिल्यै शंका गरेनन्। अब्राहमले आफ्नो विश्वास गुमाएनन्। बरू, उनको विश्वास अझ दृढ भयो अनि उनले परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरे।
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 आफूले दिनुभएको प्रतिज्ञा पूर्ण गर्नमा परमेश्वर सामर्थी हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरामा अब्राहाम पूर्णरूपले निश्चिन्त थिए।
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 यसैले, “परमेश्वरले अब्राहामको विश्वासलाई ग्रहण गर्नु भयो। औ उनलाई धर्मी बनाउनु भयो।”
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 ती शब्दहरू “परमेश्वरले उनको विश्वासलाई मानिलिए” भने अब्राहामको लागि मात्र लेखिएको थिएन।
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 ती शब्दहरू हाम्रो निम्ति पनि थियो। परमेश्वरले हामीलाई पनि ग्रहण गर्नुहुन्छ जसले उहाँमा विश्वास गर्दछ, जसले हाम्रा प्रभु येशूलाई मृत्युबाट बौराउन भयो।
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
