इब्रानी शास्त्रों (Hebrew Scriptures) में वर्णित रिपब्लिकन (प्रजातांत्रिक) मॉडल ने धर्मपरायण अमेरिकियों को आश्वस्त किया कि रिपब्लिकन व्यवस्था एक ऐसी राजनीतिक प्रणाली है जिसे ईश्वर का आशीर्वाद प्राप्त है।
The republican model described in the Hebrew Scriptures reassured pious Americans that republicanism was a political system favored by God.

अमेरिकी संस्थापकों ने अपनी सरकारों को आकार देते समय, मानव स्वभाव, नागरिक सद्गुण, सामाजिक व्यवस्था, राजनीतिक अधिकार और एक राजनीतिक समाज की स्थापना के लिए जरूरी अन्य अवधारणाओं की गहरी समझ के लिए बाइबिल का रुख किया। उन्होंने शास्त्रों में ऐसे राजनीतिक और कानूनी आदर्श देखे—जैसे कि रिपब्लिकन व्यवस्था, शक्तियों का पृथक्करण, और कानून की उचित प्रक्रिया—जिन्हें वे मानते थे कि दैवीय कृपा प्राप्त है और जो उनकी अपनी शासन व्यवस्था में अपनाने योग्य हैं।
The American founders, when framing their governments, looked to the Bible for insights into human nature, civic virtue, social order, political authority and other concepts essential to the establishment of a political society. They saw in Scripture political and legal models - such as republicanism, separation of powers, and due process of law - that they believed enjoyed divine favor and were worthy of emulation in their polities.

मेरा मानना है कि जिन देशभक्षकों को हम 'संस्थापक' कहते हैं, उनकी राजनीतिक सोच में बाइबिल से ज्यादा प्रमुख भूमिका किसी और किताब की नहीं रही।
I contend that no book figured more prominently than the Bible in the political thought of these patriots we call the founders.

ईश्वर उन राष्ट्रों को ऊपर उठाते हैं जो उनके नियमों और मानकों के अनुसार आचरण करते हैं, लेकिन जो लोग उन मानकों की उपेक्षा करते हैं, उनसे वे अपना आशीर्वाद वापस ले लेते हैं।
God elevates nations that behave in conformity with God's standards but he withdraws his blessings from a people who disregard those standards.

ईश्वर ने नागरिक सरकार की रचना और स्थापना केवल जनहित (भलाई) की सेवा के लिए की थी। जो नागरिक सरकार अपने लोगों पर अत्याचार करती है और उनकी भलाई के खिलाफ काम करती है, वह खुद को बर्खास्त कर देती है, एक वैध सरकार नहीं रह जाती, और इसलिए, शास्त्र के अनुसार नागरिक अब उसका पालन करने के लिए बाध्य नहीं हैं।
God ordained and established civil government, but only to serve the common good. A civil government that oppresses its people and acts contrary to the people's interests deposes itself, ceases to be a legitimate government, and, therefore, citizens are no longer obligated by Scripture to obey it.

मैं "संस्थापक पिताओं" और "संस्थापक" शब्दों को व्यापक अर्थ में परिभाषित करता हूँ जिसमें 18वीं शताब्दी के उत्तरार्ध और 19वीं शताब्दी के शुरुआती दौर के जीवन के हर क्षेत्र से जुड़े अमेरिकियों की एक पूरी पीढ़ी या दो पीढ़ियाँ शामिल हैं, जिन्होंने उपनिवेशवासियों के अधिकारों को स्पष्ट किया, ग्रेट ब्रिटेन से स्वतंत्रता हासिल की, और राष्ट्रीय तथा राज्य दोनों स्तरों पर नए संवैधानिक गणतंत्रों की स्थापना की। इस परिभाषा में वे हजारों लोग शामिल हैं जिन्होंने स्थानीय, राज्य और/या राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर अपनी देशभक्ति की भूमिका निभाई। उनमें नागरिक सैनिक, चुने हुए प्रतिनिधि, विचारक और देशभक्त उपदेशक शामिल थे।
I define the terms "founding fathers" and "founders" broadly to include an entire generation or two of Americans from many walks of life who, in the last half of the 18th century and early 19th century, articulated the rights of colonists, secured independence from Great Britain, and established new constitutional republics at both the national and state levels. This definition includes a cast of thousands who played their patriotic part at the local, state, and/or national levels. Among them were citizen soldiers, elected representatives, polemicists, and patriot preachers.

किसी राष्ट्र की वास्तविक महानता उसके चरित्र में निहित होती है, न कि उसकी आर्थिक या सैन्य ताकत में।
The true greatness of a nation lies in its character, not in its economic or military power.

ठीक वैसे ही जैसे इस्राइल के बच्चों को ईश्वर द्वारा यह निर्देश दिया गया था कि वे अत्याचारी राजा वाली अपनी गुलामी की भूमि को छोड़ें, एक विशाल समुद्र को पार करें और एक नए राष्ट्र की स्थापना करें, वैसे ही ग्रेट ब्रिटेन की संतानों को भी ईश्वर द्वारा अपनी धार्मिक गुलामी की भूमि छोड़ने, एक महासागर पार करने, एक वादे की धरती पर बसने, और अंततः एक "अत्याचारी" जॉर्ज तृतीय का विरोध करने तथा "ईश्वर के अमेरिकी इस्राइल" में एक नए राष्ट्र का निर्माण करने के लिए प्रेरित किया गया था।
Just as the children of Israel were directed by God to depart from the land of their oppression with its tyrannical monarch, cross a great sea, and establish a new nation, so, too, the children of Great Britain were led by God to leave the land of their religious oppression, cross a great ocean, inhabit a promised land, and, eventually, resist a "tyrannical" George III and create a new nation in "God's American Israel."

क्रांति के दौर में कई ऐसे अमेरिकी थे जो यह मानते थे कि इस्राइल के बच्चों की तरह उन्हें भी उनके औपनिवेशिक शासकों द्वारा प्रताड़ित किया जा रहा है, और वे अपने फिरौन यानी जॉर्ज तृतीय के अत्याचार से मुक्ति के लिए ईश्वर की ओर देख रहे थे।
There were many Americans in the Revolutionary era who believed that they, like the children of Israel, were oppressed by their colonial rulers, and they looked to God for deliverance from the tyranny of their pharaoh, George III.

यदि राष्ट्रों और व्यक्तियों को स्थिर, समृद्ध और शांत रहना है, तो उनके लिए गुणवान और धर्मी होना अनिवार्य है।
Nations, as well as individuals, must be virtuous and righteous if they desire to be stable, prosperous, and tranquil.

यह बात खास तौर पर रेखांकित की जानी चाहिए कि संस्थापकों को हिब्रू गणतंत्र के बारे में जो कुछ भी पता था, वह उन्होंने मुख्य रूप से बाइबिल से ही सीखा था। इन अमेरicans को इस बात का पूरा अहसास था कि रिपब्लिकनिज्म (गणतंत्रवाद) जैसे विचार हिब्रू सभ्यता के अलावा अन्य परंपराओं में भी मिलते हैं, और वास्तव में, उन्होंने प्राचीन और आधुनिक दोनों ही तरह की परंपराओं का अध्ययन किया था।
Most of what the founders knew about the Hebraic republic, it must be emphasized, they learned from the Bible. These Americans were well aware that ideas like republicanism found expression in traditions apart from the Hebrew experience, and, indeed, they studied these traditions both ancient and modern.

अमेरिकी राष्ट्र-निर्माण की नींव को सही मायनों में समझने के लिए, बाइबिल का अध्ययन अन्य वैचारिक परंपराओं—जैसे ब्रिटिश संविधानवाद, प्रबोधन उदारवाद (एनलाइटमेंट लिबरलिज्म), और शास्त्रीय गणतंत्रवाद—के साथ मिलकर किया जाना चाहिए।
One should study the Bible alongside other intellectual traditions - such as British constitutionalism, Enlightenment liberalism, and classical republicanism - in order to truly understand the American founding.
