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

1. O YOU poor and silly and thoughtless and unreflecting and senseless Galatians! Who has fascinated or bewitched or cast a spell over you, unto whom--right before your very eyes--Jesus Christ (the Messiah) was openly and graphically set forth and portrayed as crucified?

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 ask you this one question: Did you receive the [Holy] Spirit as the result of obeying the Law and doing its works, or was it by hearing [the message of the Gospel] and believing [it]? [Was it from observing a law of rituals or from a message of faith?]

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

3. Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [Holy] Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?

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

4. Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)--if it really is to no purpose and in vain?

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. Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous [Holy] Spirit and works powerfully and miraculously among you do so on [the grounds of your doing] what the Law demands, or because of your believing in and adhering to and trusting in and relying on the message that you heard?

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

6. Thus Abraham believed in and adhered to and trusted in and relied on God, and it was reckoned and placed to his account and credited as righteousness (as conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action). [Gen. 15:6.]

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

7. Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham.

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. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be blessed. [Gen. 12:3.]

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

9. So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.

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 all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them. [Deut. 27:26.]

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. Now it is evident that no person is justified (declared righteous and brought into right standing with God) through the Law, for the Scripture says, The man in right standing with God [the just, the righteous] shall live by and out of faith and he who through and by faith is declared righteous and in right standing with God shall live. [Hab. 2:4.]

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

12. But the Law does not rest on faith [does not require faith, has nothing to do with faith], for it itself says, He who does them [the things prescribed by the Law] shall live by them [not by faith]. [Lev. 18:5.]

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 purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified); [Deut. 21:23.]

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. To the end that through [their receiving] Christ Jesus, the blessing [promised] to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might [all] receive [the realization of] the promise of the [Holy] Spirit.

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. To speak in terms of human relations, brethren, [if] even a man makes a last will and testament (a merely human covenant), no one sets it aside or makes it void or adds to it when once it has been drawn up and signed (ratified, confirmed).

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 (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah). [Gen. 13:15; 17:8.]

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 my argument: The Law, which began 430 years after the covenant [concerning the coming Messiah], does not and cannot annul the covenant previously established (ratified) by God, so as to abolish the promise and make it void. [Exod. 12:40.]

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. For if the inheritance [of the promise depends on observing] the Law [as these false teachers would like you to believe], it no longer [depends] on the promise; however, God gave it to Abraham [as a free gift solely] by virtue of His promise.

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. What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added [later on, after the promise, to disclose and expose to men their guilt] because of transgressions and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come, to and concerning Whom the promise had been made. And it [the Law] was arranged and ordained and appointed through the instrumentality of angels [and was given] by the hand (in the person) of a go-between [Moses, an intermediary person between God and man].

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

20. Now a go-between (intermediary) has to do with and implies more than one party [there can be no mediator with just one person]. Yet God is [only] one Person [and He was the sole party in giving that promise to Abraham. But the Law was a contract between two, God and Israel; its validity was dependent on both].

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. Is the Law then contrary and opposed to the promises of God? Of course not! For if a Law had been given which could confer [spiritual] life, then righteousness and right standing with God would certainly have come by Law.

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. But the Scriptures [picture all mankind as sinners] shut up and imprisoned by sin, so that [the inheritance, blessing] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ (the Messiah) might be given (released, delivered, and committed) to [all] those who believe [who adhere to and trust in and rely on Him].

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. Now before the faith came, we were perpetually guarded under the Law, kept in custody in preparation for the faith that was destined to be revealed (unveiled, disclosed),

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

24. So that the Law served [to us Jews] as our trainer [our guardian, our guide to Christ, to lead us] until Christ [came], that we might be justified (declared righteous, put in right standing with God) by and through faith.

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

25. But now that the faith has come, we are no longer under a trainer (the guardian of our childhood).

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

26. For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

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

27. For as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah] have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ.

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. There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

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

29. And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham's Seed], then you are Abraham's offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.
