1 Peter 2
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy, and all slander,
त्यसकारण सबै दुष्ट्याइँ, छल, पाखण्डीपन, डाहा र बदख्वाइँलाई टाढै राख ।
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby to salvation,
नवजात शिशुहरूले जस्तै शुद्ध आत्मिक दूधको तृष्णा गर ताकि तिमीहरू त्यसबाट मुक्तिमा बढ्न सक,
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good:
यदि प्रभु भला हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले चाखेका छौ भने,
4 coming to him, a living stone, though rejected by people but chosen by God, precious.
उहाँमा आओ, जो मानिसहरूद्वारा इन्कार गरिनुभएका जीवित पत्थर हुनुहुन्छ, तर त्यही पत्थर नै परमेश्वरबाट चुनिएको छ र उहाँका निम्ति बहुमूल्य पत्थर हुनुभएको छ ।
5 You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
तिमीहरू पनि येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरको निम्ति ग्रहणयोग्य आत्मिक बलिदानहरू चढाउने पवित्र पुजारीहरू हुनको निम्ति आत्मिक भवन निर्माण गर्ने जीवित पत्थरहरूजस्तै हौ ।
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen precious cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."
धर्मशास्त्रले भन्दछ, “हेर म सियोनमा एउटा कुने-ढुङ्गो बसाल्नेछु, जुन मुख्य, चुनिएको र बहुमूल्य हुनेछ । जसले उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो शर्ममा पर्नेछैन ।”
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who do not believe, "The stone which the builders rejected, has become the chief cornerstone,"
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 to stumble over, and a rock to trip over." For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
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 race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous 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 once were not a people, but now are God's people, 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 Beloved, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents, to abstain from fleshly lusts, 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 good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, 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 Subject yourselves to every human institution for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;
प्रभुको खातिर सबै मानवीय अधिकारलाई स्वीकार गर चाहे ती सर्वोच्च राजा हुन्,
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
या शासकहरू जो नराम्रो काम गर्नेहरूलाई सजाय दिन र असल काम गर्नेहरूको प्रशंसा गर्न उत्साह दिन पठाइएका हुन् ।
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people:
किनकि परमेश्वरको इच्छा यही हो कि असल काम गरेर तिमीहरूले मूर्ख मानिसहरूका अज्ञानतालाई चुप लगाउनुपर्छ ।
16 as free, and not using your freedom as a pretext for evil, but as slaves of God.
स्वतन्त्र मानिसहरूझैँ तिमीहरूको स्वतन्त्रता दुष्टतालाई ढाक्नको निम्ति प्रयोग नगर, तर परमेश्वरका दासहरूजस्तै बन ।
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
सबै मानिसको आदर गर । भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर । परमेश्वरको भय मान । राजाको आदर गर ।
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
कमारा हो, सम्पूर्ण आदरसाथ आफ्नो मालिकको अधीनमा बस; असल र भला मालिकहरूसँग मात्र होइन, तर दुष्टहरूसँग पनि ।
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
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, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with 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 to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, 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 "committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth."
उहाँले कुनै पाप गर्नुभएन, न उहाँका मुखमा कुनै छलको कुरो पाइयो ।
23 Who, when he was cursed, did not curse back. When he suffered, did not threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
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 on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose wounds 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 going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
तिमीहरू सबै हराएका भेडाझैँ भौतारिँदै थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू आत्माका गोठालो र संरक्षककहाँ फर्किएका छौ ।
