1. हे निर्बुद्धि गलतियों, किस ने तुम्हें मोह लिया? तुम्हारी तो मानों आंखों के साम्हने यीशु मसीह क्रूस पर दिखाया गया!

1. You crazy Galatians! Did someone put a hex on you? Have you taken leave of your senses? Something crazy has happened, for it's obvious that you no longer have the crucified Jesus in clear focus in your lives. His sacrifice on the Cross was certainly set before you clearly enough.

2. मैं तुम से केवल यह जानना चाहता हूं, कि तुम ने आत्मा को, क्या व्यवस्था के कामों से, या विश्वास के समाचार से पाया?

2. Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to God's Message to you?

3. क्या तुम ऐसे निर्बुद्धि हो, कि आत्मा की रीति पर आरम्भ करके अब शरीर की रीति पर अन्त करोगे?

3. Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren't smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it?

4. क्या तुम ने इतना दुख योंही उठाया? परन्तु कदाचित व्यर्थ नहीं।

4. Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing? It is not yet a total loss, but it certainly will be if you keep this up!

5. सो जो तुम्हें आत्मा दान करता और तुम में सामर्थ के काम करता है, वह क्या व्यवस्था के कामों से या विश्वास के सुसमाचार से ऐसा करता है?

5. Answer this question: Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence, his Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does he do these things because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust him to do them in you?

6. इब्राहीम ने तो परमेश्वर पर विश्वास किया और यह उसके लिये धार्मिकता गिनी गई।
उत्पत्ति 15:6

6. Don't these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He believed God, and that act of belief was turned into a life that was right with God.

7. तो यह जान लो, कि जो विश्वास करनेवाले हैं, वे ही इब्राहीम की सन्तान हैं।

7. Is it not obvious to you that persons who put their trust in Christ (not persons who put their trust in the law!) are like Abraham: children of faith?

8. और पवित्राशास्त्रा ने पहिले ही से यह जानकर, कि परमेश्वर अन्यजातियों को विश्वास से धर्मी ठहराएगा, पहिले हीे से इब्राहीम को यह सुसमाचार सुना दिया, कि तुझ में सब जातियां आशीष पाएंगी।
उत्पत्ति 12:3, उत्पत्ति 18:18

8. It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed in you.'

9. तो जो विश्वास करनेवाले हैं, वे विश्वासी इब्राहीम के साथ आशीष पाते हैं।

9. So those now who live by faith are blessed along with Abraham, who lived by faith--this is no new doctrine!

10. सो जितने लोग व्यवस्था के कामों पर भरोसा रखते हैं, वे सब स्त्राप के आधीन हैं, क्योंकि लिखा है, कि जो कोई व्यवस्था की पुस्तक में लिखी हुई सब बातों के करने में स्थिर नहीं रहता, वह स्त्रापित है।
व्यवस्थाविवरण 27:26

10. And that means that anyone who tries to live by his own effort, independent of God, is doomed to failure. Scripture backs this up: 'Utterly cursed is every person who fails to carry out every detail written in the Book of the law.'

11. पर यह बात प्रगट है, कि व्यवस्था के द्वारा परमेश्वर के यहां कोई धर्मी नहीं ठहरता क्योंकि धर्मी जन विश्वास से जीवित रहेगा।
हबक्कूक 2:4

11. The obvious impossibility of carrying out such a moral program should make it plain that no one can sustain a relationship with God that way. The person who lives in right relationship with God does it by embracing what God arranges for him. Doing things for God is the opposite of entering into what God does for you. Habakkuk had it right: 'The person who believes God, is set right by God--and that's the real life.'

12. पर व्यवस्था का विश्वास से कुछ सम्बन्ध नहीं; पर जो उन को मानेगा, वह उन के कारण जीवित रहेगा।
लैव्यव्यवस्था 18:5

12. Rule-keeping does not naturally evolve into living by faith, but only perpetuates itself in more and more rule-keeping, a fact observed in Scripture: 'The one who does these things [rule-keeping]continues to live by them.'

13. मसीह ने जो हमारे लिये स्त्रापित बना, हमें मोल लेकर व्यवस्था के स्त्राप से छुड़ाया क्योंकि लिखा है, जो कोई काठ पर लटकाया जाता है वह स्त्रापित है।
व्यवस्थाविवरण 21:23

13. Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the Cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse.

14. यह इसलिये हुआ, कि इब्राहिम की आशीष मसीह यीशु में अन्यजातियों तक पंहुचे, और हम विश्वास के द्वारा उस आत्मा को प्राप्त करें, जिस की प्रतिज्ञा हुई है।।

14. And now, because of that, the air is cleared and we can see that Abraham's blessing is present and available for non-Jews, too. We are all able to receive God's life, his Spirit, in and with us by believing--just the way Abraham received it.

15. हे भाइयों, मैं मनुष्य की रीति पर कहता हूं, कि मनुष्य की वाचा भी जो पक्की हो जाती है, तो न कोई उसे टालता है और न उस में कुछ बढ़ाता है।

15. Friends, let me give you an example from everyday affairs of the free life I am talking about. Once a person's will has been ratified, no one else can annul it or add to it.

16. निदान, प्रतिज्ञाएं इब्राहीम को, और उसके वंश को दी गईं; वह यह नहीं कहता, कि वशों को; जेसे बहुतों के विषय में कहा, पर जैसे एक के विषय में कि तेरे वंश को: और वह मसीह है।
उत्पत्ति 12:7, उत्पत्ति 13:15, उत्पत्ति 17:7, उत्पत्ति 22:18, उत्पत्ति 24:7

16. Now, the promises were made to Abraham and to his descendant. You will observe that Scripture, in the careful language of a legal document, does not say 'to descendants,' referring to everybody in general, but 'to your descendant' (the noun, note, is singular), referring to Christ.

17. पर मैं यह कहता हूं की जो वाचा परमेश्वर ने पहिले से पक्की की थी, उस को व्यवस्था चार सौ तीस बरस के बाद आकर नहीं टाल देती, कि प्रतिज्ञा व्यर्थ ठहरे।
निर्गमन 12:40

17. This is the way I interpret this: A will, earlier ratified by God, is not annulled by an addendum attached 430 years later, thereby negating the promise of the will.

18. क्योंकि यदि मीरास व्यवस्था से मिली है, तो फिर प्रतिज्ञा से नहीं, परन्तु परमेश्वर ने इब्राहीम को प्रतिज्ञा के द्वारा दे दी है।

18. No, this addendum, with its instructions and regulations, has nothing to do with the promised inheritance in the will. What is the point, then, of the law, the attached addendum? It was a thoughtful addition to the original covenant promises made to Abraham.

19. तब फिर व्यवस्था क्या रही? वह तो अपराधों के कारण बाद में दी गई, कि उस वंश के आने तक रहे, जिस को प्रतिज्ञा दी गई थी, और वह स्वर्गदूतों के द्वारा एक मध्यस्थ के हाथ ठहराई गई।

19. The purpose of the law was to keep a sinful people in the way of salvation until Christ (the descendant) came, inheriting the promises and distributing them to us. Obviously this law was not a firsthand encounter with God. It was arranged by angelic messengers through a middleman, Moses.

20. मध्यस्थ तो एक का नहीं होता, परन्तु परमेश्वर एक ही है।

20. But if there is a middleman as there was at Sinai, then the people are not dealing directly with God, are they? But the original promise is the direct blessing of God, received by faith.

21. तो क्या व्यवस्था परमेश्वर की प्रतिज्ञाओं के विरोध में है? कदापि न हो? क्योंकि यदि ऐसी व्यवस्था दी जाती जो जीवन दे सकती, तो सचमुच धार्मिकता व्यवस्था से होती।

21. If such is the case, is the law, then, an anti-promise, a negation of God's will for us? Not at all. Its purpose was to make obvious to everyone that we are, in ourselves, out of right relationship with God, and therefore to show us the futility of devising some religious system for getting by our own efforts what we can only get by waiting in faith for God to complete his promise. For if any kind of rule-keeping had power to create life in us, we would certainly have gotten it by this time.

22. परन्तु पवित्रा शास्त्रा ने सब को पाप के आधीन कर दिया, ताकि वह प्रतिज्ञा जिस का आधार यीशु मसीह पर विश्वास करना है, विश्वास करनेवालों के लिये पूरी हो जाए।।

22. (SEE 3:21)

23. पर विश्वास के आने से पहिले व्यवस्था की अधीनता में हमारी रखवाली होती थी, और उस विश्वास के आने तक जो प्रगट होनेवाला था, हम उसी के बन्धन में रहे।

23. Until the time when we were mature enough to respond freely in faith to the living God, we were carefully surrounded and protected by the Mosaic law.

24. इसलिये व्यवस्था मसीह तक पहुंचाने को हमारा शिक्षक हुई है, कि हम विश्वास से धर्मी ठहरें।

24. The law was like those Greek tutors, with which you are familiar, who escort children to school and protect them from danger or distraction, making sure the children will really get to the place they set out for.

25. परन्तु जब विश्वास आ चुका, तो हम अब शिक्षक के आधीन न रहे।

25. But now you have arrived at your destination:

26. क्योंकि तुम सब उस विश्वास करने के द्वारा जो मसीह यीशु पर है, परमेश्वर की सन्तान हो।

26. By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God.

27. और तुम में से जितनों ने मसीह में बपतिस्मा लिया है उन्हों ने मसीह को पहिन लिया है।

27. Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe--Christ's life, the fulfillment of God's original promise.

28. अब न कोई यहूदी रहा और न यूनानी; न कोई दास, न स्वतंत्रा; न कोई नर, न नारी; क्योंकि तुम सब मसीह यीशु में एक हो।

28. In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ.

29. और यदि तुम मसीह के हो, तो इब्राहीम के वंश और प्रतिज्ञा के अनुसार वारिस भी हो।।

29. Also, since you are Christ's family, then you are Abraham's famous 'descendant,' heirs according to the covenant promises.
