1 Peter 3
1 Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
यसरी नै पत्नीहरू हो, तिमीहरूका आ-आफ्ना पतिको अधीनमा रहो, ताकि यदि कोही वचनमा आज्ञाकारी छैन भने तापनि तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरूको आचरणको कारण तिनीहरूलाई वचनैविना जित्न सकिन्छ ।
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका शुद्ध आचरणलाई आफ्नो सम्मानको रूपमा देख्नेछन् ।
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
यसको लागि केशको शृङ्गार, सुनका गरगहनाहरू, शृङ्गारका वस्त्रहरूजस्ता बाहिरी सजावट नगर ।
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
तर तिमीहरूका भित्री हृदयबाट र सदैव रहने भलो र शान्त आत्माद्वारा परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा अनमोल हुने किसिमले यसो गर ।
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
किनकि पहिलेका पवित्र स्त्रीहरूले यसरी नै आफ्नो शृङ्गार गर्थे । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा आशा राख्थे र आफ्ना पतिहरूका अधीनमा बस्दथे ।
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters you are, as long as you do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
यसरी नै सारा अब्राहामप्रति आज्ञाकारी हुन्थिन् र तिनलाई “स्वामी” भनेर बोलाउँथिन् । अब यदि तिमीहरूले जे असल छ त्यही गर्यौ र समस्याहरूसँग डराएनौ भने तिमीहरू तिनकै छोरीहरू ठहरिन्छौ ।
7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
त्यसरी नै पतिहरू हो, आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई अबला र जीवनका वरदानहरू प्राप्त गर्ने साझेदार सम्झी तिनीहरूसँग बस । तिमीहरूका प्रार्थनामा अवरोध नहोस् भनेर यसो गर ।
8 Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous:
अन्त्यमा तिमीहरू सबै एकै मनका, दयावान्, भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर्ने, कोमल हृदयका र नम्र होओ ।
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing.
खराबीको बदला खराबी र अपमानको बदला अपमान नगर । तर त्यसको विपरीत निरन्तर आशीर्वाद देओ किनकि आशिष्मा सहभागी हुन सक भनेर तिमीहरू यसैको निम्ति बोलाइएका हौ ।
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
“जसले आफ्नो जीवनलाई प्रेम गर्न चाहन्छ र असल दिनहरू देख्ने इच्छा गर्दछ उसले आफ्नो जिब्रोलाई खराबबाट र उसको ओठलाई छल कुरा गर्नबाट रोकोस् ।
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
ऊ खराब कुराहरूबाट फर्की जे असल छ त्यही गरोस् । उसले शान्तिको खोजी गरोस् र त्यसैमा लागिरहोस् ।
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
परमेश्वरका आँखाले धर्मी जनलाई देख्छन्; उहाँका कानले तिनीहरूका निवेदनहरू सुन्छन् । तर परमेश्वरको मुहार खराबी गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा हुन्छ ।”
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
तिमीहरूले असल गर्ने चाहना गर्दा तिमीहरूलाई कसले खराबी गर्छ?
14 But and if you suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are you: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
तर यदि तिमीहरू धार्मिकताको लागि सताइन्छौ भने तिमी आशिषित् हुनेछौ । तिनीहरू डराउने कुरादेखि तिमीहरू नडराओ । हतास नहोओ ।
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
बरु, प्रभु येशूलाई पवित्र मानेर तिमीहरूका हृदयमा राख । तिमीहरू किन परमेश्वरमा आशा राख्छौ भनेर कसैले सोधेमा त्यसको जवाफ दिन सधैँ तयार बस? यो काम नम्रता र आदरपूर्वक गर ।
16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
असल विवेक कायम राख ताकि ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूका असल जीवनको निन्दा गर्न खोज्नेहरू लाजमा परून्, किनकि तिनीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूको रूपमा तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा कुरा गरिरहेका छन् ।
17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that you suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
परमेश्वरले इच्छा गर्नुभयो भने तिमीहरूले खराब काम गरेर दुःख भोग्नुभन्दा असल काम गरेर दुःख भोग्नु असल हुन्छ ।
18 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
ख्रीष्टले पनि पापका निम्ति एक पटक दुःख भोग्नुभयो । धर्मी भएर पनि उहाँले हामीलाई परमेश्वरमा ल्याउनको निम्ति हामी अधर्मीहरूका लागि दुःख भोग्नुभयो । उहाँले शारीरिक रूपमा मृत्यु वरण गर्नुभयो, तर उहाँ आत्मामा जीवित पारिनुभयो ।
19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison;
उहाँ आत्मामा जानुभयो र कैदमा परेका आत्माहरूलाई प्रचार गर्नुभयो ।
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
नोआको समयमा जहाज बनाइँदा परमेश्वरले धैर्य गरेर पर्खिरहेको बेला तिनीहरू आज्ञाकारी भएनन्, र परमेश्वरले पानीबाट आठ जना आत्मा बचाउनुभयो ।
21 The like figure to which even baptism does also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, ) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
यो अहिले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउने बप्तिस्माको एउटा सङ्केत हो जुनचाहिँ शरीरको फोहोर सफा गरेजस्तो नभई येशू ख्रीष्टको पुनरुत्थानद्वारा परमेश्वरमा असल विवेकको निवेदनको रूपमा हो ।
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
उहाँ परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ स्वर्गमा जानुभयो । स्वर्गदूतहरू, अधिकारहरू र शक्तिहरू सबै उहाँमा झुक्नुपर्छ ।
