1 Peter 2
1 Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
त्यसकारण सबै दुष्ट्याइँ, छल, पाखण्डीपन, डाहा र बदख्वाइँलाई टाढै राख ।
2 As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile, that thereby you may grow unto salvation:
नवजात शिशुहरूले जस्तै शुद्ध आत्मिक दूधको तृष्णा गर ताकि तिमीहरू त्यसबाट मुक्तिमा बढ्न सक,
3 If so be you have tasted that the Lord is sweet.
यदि प्रभु भला हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले चाखेका छौ भने,
4 Unto whom coming, as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen and made honourable by God:
उहाँमा आओ, जो मानिसहरूद्वारा इन्कार गरिनुभएका जीवित पत्थर हुनुहुन्छ, तर त्यही पत्थर नै परमेश्वरबाट चुनिएको छ र उहाँका निम्ति बहुमूल्य पत्थर हुनुभएको छ ।
5 Be you also as living stones built up, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
तिमीहरू पनि येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरको निम्ति ग्रहणयोग्य आत्मिक बलिदानहरू चढाउने पवित्र पुजारीहरू हुनको निम्ति आत्मिक भवन निर्माण गर्ने जीवित पत्थरहरूजस्तै हौ ।
6 Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded.
धर्मशास्त्रले भन्दछ, “हेर म सियोनमा एउटा कुने-ढुङ्गो बसाल्नेछु, जुन मुख्य, चुनिएको र बहुमूल्य हुनेछ । जसले उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो शर्ममा पर्नेछैन ।”
7 To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
त्यसैले, तिमीहरू जसले विश्वास गर्छौ तिमीहरूको निम्ति आदर छ । तर, “त्यो ढुङ्गो जसलाई निर्माणकर्ताहरूले इन्कार गरे त्यो नै कुनाको शिर-ढुङ्गा भयो ।”
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.
र “एउटा ठक्कर लाग्ने ढुङ्गा र एउटा ठक्कर लाग्ने चट्टान ।” वचन उल्लङ्घन गरेको कारण तिनीहरू ठक्कर खान्छन् जसको निम्ति तिनीहरू नियुक्त गरिएका थिए ।
9 But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
तर तिमीहरू त चुनिएका वंश, राजकीय पुजारीहरू, पवित्र जाति, परमेश्वरका निजी प्रजा हौ । त्यसैले, तिमीहरूलाई अन्धकारबाट बोलाई उहाँको उदेकको ज्योतिमा ल्याउनुहुनेका आश्चर्यकर्महरूको घोषणा गर्न सक ।
10 Who in time past were not a people: but are now the people of God. Who had not obtained mercy; but now have obtained mercy.
तिमीहरू एक समय परमेश्वरका थिएनौ, तर अब परमेश्वरका प्रजाहरू हौ । तिमीहरूले कृपा पाएका थिएनौ, अहिले परमेश्वरको कृपा पाएका छौ ।
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which war against the soul,
हेर, तिमीहरूका आत्माको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्ने पापमय इच्छाबाट टाढा रहनको निम्ति परदेशीहरू र प्रवासीहरूलाई झैँ म तिमीहरूलाई बोलाउँछु ।
12 Having your conversation good among the Gentiles: that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by the good works, which they shall behold in you, glorify God in the day of visitation.
अरू जातिहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूको व्यवहार असल होस् ताकि तिमीहरूले दुष्ट काम गरेका छौ भनेर तिनीहरूले भने तापनि तिमीहरूका राम्रा कामहरू देखेर तिनीहरूले उहाँको आगमनमा परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
13 Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God’s sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
प्रभुको खातिर सबै मानवीय अधिकारलाई स्वीकार गर चाहे ती सर्वोच्च राजा हुन्,
14 Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of the good:
या शासकहरू जो नराम्रो काम गर्नेहरूलाई सजाय दिन र असल काम गर्नेहरूको प्रशंसा गर्न उत्साह दिन पठाइएका हुन् ।
15 For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
किनकि परमेश्वरको इच्छा यही हो कि असल काम गरेर तिमीहरूले मूर्ख मानिसहरूका अज्ञानतालाई चुप लगाउनुपर्छ ।
16 As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
स्वतन्त्र मानिसहरूझैँ तिमीहरूको स्वतन्त्रता दुष्टतालाई ढाक्नको निम्ति प्रयोग नगर, तर परमेश्वरका दासहरूजस्तै बन ।
17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
सबै मानिसको आदर गर । भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर । परमेश्वरको भय मान । राजाको आदर गर ।
18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
कमारा हो, सम्पूर्ण आदरसाथ आफ्नो मालिकको अधीनमा बस; असल र भला मालिकहरूसँग मात्र होइन, तर दुष्टहरूसँग पनि ।
19 For this is thankworthy, if for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully.
किनकि कोही व्यक्तिको विवेक परमेश्वरप्रति भएको कारण उसले असल काम गरे पनि कष्ट सहन्छ भने त्यो परमेश्वरमा प्रशंसनीय कुरो हो ।
20 For what glory is it, if committing sin, and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently; this is thankworthy before God.
यदि तिमीले पाप गरेर सहन्छौ भने त्यो कुन ठुलो कुरा भयो र? तर यदि तिमीले असल गरेर पनि सहन्छौ भने त्यो परमेश्वरमा प्रशंसनीय हुनेछ ।
21 For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps.
यसैको निम्ति तिमीहरू बोलाइएका थियौ, किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँका पाइला पछ्याओ भनेर ख्रीष्टले पनि दुःख भोग्नुभयो र तिमीहरूका निम्ति उदाहरण छोड्नुभयो ।
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.
उहाँले कुनै पाप गर्नुभएन, न उहाँका मुखमा कुनै छलको कुरो पाइयो ।
23 Who, when he was reviled, did not revile: when he suffered, he threatened not: but delivered himself to him that judged him unjustly.
उहाँको अपमान हुँदा उहाँले त्यसको बदला लिनुभएन । उहाँले दुःख भोग्नुहुँदा पनि आफैँलाई उचित न्याय गर्नुहुनेकहाँ सुम्पिनुभयो ।
24 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed.
हामी पापको भागीदार नबनौँ र धार्मिकताको खातिर जिऔँ भनेर उहाँले हाम्रा सबै पाप आफ्नो शरीरमा बोकी क्रुसमा चढ्नुभयो । उहाँका चोटले तिमीहरू निको भएका छौ ।
25 For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls.
तिमीहरू सबै हराएका भेडाझैँ भौतारिँदै थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू आत्माका गोठालो र संरक्षककहाँ फर्किएका छौ ।
