< 2 Peter 1 >
1 Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
येशू ख्रीष्टका दास र प्रेरित सिमोन पत्रुसबाट, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको धार्मिकता र मुक्तिदाता येशू ख्रीष्टमा हाम्रो जस्तै मूल्यवान् विश्वास प्राप्त गरेकाहरूलाई ।
2 Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord:
तिमीहरूलाई अनुग्रह होस्; हाम्रा परमेश्वर र येशू ख्रीष्टको ज्ञानद्वारा तिमीहरूमा शान्ति प्रशस्त हुँदै जाओस् ।
3 As all things of his divine power which appertain to life and godliness, are given us, through the knowledge of him who hath called us by his own proper glory and virtue.
आफ्नै महिमा र सद्गुणद्वारा हामीलाई बोलाउनुहुने परमेश्वरको ज्ञानद्वारा हामीलाई ईश्वरीय शक्तिको जीवन र धार्मिकताको निम्ति आवश्यक पर्ने सबै कुरा दिइएको छ ।
4 By whom he hath given us most great and precious promises: that by these you may be made partakers of the divine nature: flying the corruption of that concupiscence which is in the world.
यी कुराहरूद्वारा उहाँले हामीलाई बहुमूल्य र महान् प्रतिज्ञाहरू दिनुभएको छ । तिमीहरू संसारका कुइच्छाबाट आउने भ्रष्टताबाट उम्केर ईश्वरीय स्वभावमा सहभागी हुन सक भनेर उहाँले यस्तो गर्नुभयो ।
5 And you, employing all care, minister in your faith, virtue; and in virtue, knowledge;
यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको विश्वासद्वारा सद्गुण, सद्गुणद्वारा ज्ञान थप्न सक्दो प्रयत्न गर ।
6 And in knowledge, abstinence; and in abstinence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
तिमीहरूको ज्ञानद्वारा आत्मसंयम र आत्मसंयमद्वारा सहनशीलता अनि सहनशीलताद्वारा ईश्वरभक्ति ।
7 And in godliness, love of brotherhood; and in love of brotherhood, charity.
तिमीहरूको ईश्वरभक्तिद्वारा भातृ-स्नेह, र भातृ-स्नेहद्वारा प्रेम ।
8 For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
यदि यी कुरा तिमीहरूमा छन्, र तिमीहरूमा प्रशस्त हुँदै जान्छन् भने प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको ज्ञानमा तिमीहरू बाँझो वा निष्फल हुनेछैनौ ।
9 For he that hath not these things with him, is blind, and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
तर जोसँग यी कुराको घटी छ र नजिकको वस्तु मात्र देख्छ भने, ऊ अन्धो हो । उसले पुरानो पापबाट धोइएको कुरालाई बिर्सेको हुन्छ ।
10 Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time.
त्यसकारण भाइ हो, आफ्नो बोलावट र चुनाउ निश्चित गर्नको लागि सक्दो प्रयास गर । तिमीहरूले त्यो गर्यौ भने, तिमीहरू लोट्नेछैनौ ।
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
त्यसकारण, हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको अनन्त राज्यमा प्रवेशको निम्ति तिमीहरूले प्रशस्त अनुमति पाउनेछौ । (aiōnios )
12 For which cause I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them, and are confirmed in the present truth.
यसैले, तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू थाहा भएर अहिले तिमीहरू यो सत्यतामा बलियो भए तापनि म तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू सम्झाउन सधैँ तयार छु ।
13 But I think it meet as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.
जबसम्म म यो शरीररूपी पालमा छु तिमीहरूलाई जागा राख्नु र यी कुराहरूको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई सम्झाउनु मेरो निम्ति असल हुन्छ भन्ने मलाई लाग्छ ।
14 Being assured that the laying away of this my tabernacle is at hand, according as our Lord Jesus Christ also hath signified to me.
किनकि मैले यो पाललाई चाँडै त्याग्दै छु भन्ने मलाई थाहा छ जुन कुरा हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टले यो मलाई देखाउनुभएको छ ।
15 And I will endeavour, that you frequently have after my decease, whereby you may keep a memory of these things.
मेरो प्रस्थानपछि पनि तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू सधैँ सम्झन सक भनेर म सक्दो प्रयास गर्नेछु ।
16 For we have not by following artificial fables, made known to you the power, and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness.
किनकि हामीले येशू ख्रीष्टको शक्ति र आगमनको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताउँदा धूर्ततासँग रचिएका दन्त्यकथाहरूलाई पछ्याएनौँ, तर हामी उहाँको वैभवको प्रत्यक्ष साक्षी थियौँ ।
17 For he received from God the Father, honour and glory: this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
उहाँले परमेश्वर पिताबाट आदर र महिमा प्राप्त गर्नुभयो, जब वैभवपूर्ण महिमाबाट यो स्वर आएको थियोः “यिनी मेरा प्रिय पुत्र हुन्, जोसित म धेरै खुसी छु ।”
18 And this voice we heard brought from heaven, when we were with him in the holy mount.
हामी उहाँसित पवित्र डाँडामा हुँदा हामीले स्वर्गबाट आएको त्यो आवाज सुन्यौँ ।
19 And we have the more firm prophetical word: whereunto you do well to attend, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
हामीसँग भएको अगमवाणीको वचन अझ निश्चित भएको छ, जसलाई तिमीहरू पालना गर्न उत्तम प्रयास गर्छौ । यो उज्यालो नहुञ्जेल र तिमीहरूका हृदयमा बिहानको तारा नआउञ्जेल अन्धकारमा चम्कने बत्तीजस्तै छ ।
20 Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
तिमीहरूले पहिले यो जान कि लेखिएको भविष्यवाणी अगमवक्ताको आफ्नै तर्कबाट आउँदैन ।
21 For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.
किनकि कुनै पनि अगमवाणी मानिसहरूको इच्छाबाट आएन, तर परमेश्वरको तर्फबाट बोल्ने पवित्र आत्माद्वारा डोर्याइएका मानिसहरूबाट आयो ।
