< 1 Corinthians 7 >

1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote: it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
अब तिमीहरूले लेखेका यी कुराहरूका विषयमा भन्‍नुपर्दा पुरुषको लागि स्‍त्रीलाई नछुनु नै असल हो ।
2 But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.
तर धेरै अनैतिक कामहरूका अनेक परीक्षाहरूको कारणले गर्दा हरेक मानिसको आफ्नै पत्‍नी होस् र हरेक स्‍त्रीको आफ्नै पति होस् ।
3 Let the husband fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband.
पतिले पत्‍नीलाई उसको वैवाहिक हक देओस् र त्यसरी नै पत्‍नीले पनि आफ्नो पतिलाई ।
4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.
आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पत्‍नीको अधिकार हुँदैन; उसको पतिको हुन्छ । र यसरी नै आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पतिको आफ्नो अधिकार हुँदैन, तर पत्‍नीको भने हुन्छ ।
5 Do not deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a season, that you may give yourselves to prayer, and may be together again, that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
पारस्परिक सहमतिमा केही समयको निम्ति बाहेक एक अर्कालाई वञ्‍चित नगर, ताकि तिमीहरू प्रार्थनामा लागिरहन सक । त्यसपछि तिमीहरू फेरि एकसाथ हुनुपर्दछ, ताकि तिमीहरूका आत्मसंयमको अभावको कारणले शैतानले तिमीहरूलाई परीक्षामा पार्न नसकोस् ।
6 But this I say by way of concession, not of commandment.
म तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू आज्ञाको रूपमा होइन, तर अनुमतिको रूपमा भन्दछु ।
7 Yet I wish that all people were like me. However each one has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.
सबै जना मजस्तै भएको म इच्छा गर्दछु । तर हरेकले परमेश्‍वरबाट आ-आफ्नो वरदान पाएको छ । एक जनाले एक प्रकारको वरदान र अर्कोले अर्कै प्रकारको वरदान पाएको छ ।
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows, it is good for them if they remain even as I am.
अविवाहित र विधवाहरूलाई म भन्दछु कि तिनीहरू मजस्तै अविवाहित रहन्छन् भने यो तिनीहरूका लागि असल हुन्छ ।
9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry. For it's better to marry than to burn.
तर यदि तिनीहरूले आफूलाई वशमा राख्‍न सक्दैनन् भने तिनीहरूले विवाह गरून् । कामुकतामा जल्नुभन्दा तिनीहरूका निम्ति विवाह गर्नु असल हो ।
10 But to the married I command—not I, but the Lord—that the wife not leave her husband
अब विवाहितका निम्ति म यो आज्ञा दिन्छु । मैले होइन, तर प्रभुले दिनुहुन्छः
11 (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.
तर यदि तिनी आफ्‍नो पतिबाट अलग हुन्छिन भने, तिनी विवाह नगरी बसून् कि त उनीसँग मिलाप गर्नुपर्दछ । अनी “पतिले आफ्नी पत्‍नीसँग सम्बन्ध विच्‍छेद गर्नुहुदैन ।”
12 But to the rest I—not the Lord—say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her.
तर बाँकीलाई म भन्दछु (मैले होइन तर प्रभुले भन्‍नुहुन्छ) कि यदि कुनै भाइसँग अविश्‍वासी पत्‍नी छ र तिनी ऊसँग बस्‍नलाई सन्तुष्‍ट छिन् भने उसले तिनीसँग सम्बन्ध विच्छेद नगरोस् ।
13 The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband.
यदि पत्‍नीसँग अविश्‍वासी पति छ भने र ऊ तिनीसँग सन्तुष्‍ट छ भने, तिनले ऊसँग सम्बन्ध विच्छेद नगरुन् ।
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the brother. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.
किनकि अविश्‍वासी पति पत्‍नीद्वारा पवित्र ठहरिन्छ र अविश्‍वासी पत्‍नी विश्‍वासी पतिको कारण पवित्र ठहरिन्छे, नत्रता तिमीहरूका छोरा छोरीहरू अपवित्र हुनेछन्, तर वास्तवमा तिनीहरू पवित्र छन् ।
15 Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called you to peace.
तर यदि अविश्‍वासी जीवन साथी छुट्टिन्छ भने, त्यसलाई जान देऊ । यस्तो अवस्थामा भाइ वा बहिनी तिनीहरूका प्रतिज्ञामा बाँधिनेछैन । परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई शान्तिमा बस्‍न बोलाउनुभएको छ ।
16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
स्‍त्री हो, तिमीलाई के थाहा सायद तिमीले आफ्नो पतिलाई बचाउन सक्छ्यौ कि? अथवा पुरुष हो, तिमीलाई के थाहा, सायद तिमीले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई बचाउन सक्छौ कि?
17 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, so let him walk. So I command in all the congregations.
प्रभुले खटाएबमोजिम र परमेश्‍वरले बोलाएबमोजिम हरेकले आफ्नो जीवन जिओस्, । सबै मण्डलीहरूका निम्ति मेरो नियम यही नै हो ।
18 Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
के विश्‍वासको लागि बोलावट हुनुअगि नै कसैको खतना भएको थियो? उसले आफूलाई खतना नभएको जस्तो नदेखाओस् । विश्‍वासको निम्‍ति बोलावट हुँदा खतना नगर्ने कोही थियो? उसले खतना नगरोस् ।
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
न खतना केही हो न त बेखतना नै । प्रमुख कुरा परमेश्‍वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नु नै हो ।
20 Let each person stay in that calling in which he was called.
परमेश्‍वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा कुनै व्यक्‍ति जस्तो अवस्थामा थियो, हरेक त्यही बोलावटमा रहोस् ।
21 Were you called being a slave? Do not let that bother you, but if you get an opportunity to become free, use it.
के परमेश्‍वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा तिमीहरू कमारा थियौ? यसको बारेमा तिमी फिक्री नगर । तर तिमीहरू स्वतन्‍त्र हुन सक्छौ भने यसको फाइदा उठाओ ।
22 For he who was called in the Lord being a slave is the Lord's free person. Likewise he who was called being free is Messiah's slave.
किनकि दासको रूपमा हुँदा प्रभुले कसैलाई बोलाउनुभएको छ भने ऊ प्रभुको स्वतन्‍त्र मानिस हो । यसरी नै कसैलाई बोलाउँदा कोही स्वतन्‍त्र थियो भने ऊ ख्रीष्‍टको दास हो ।
23 You were bought with a price. Do not become slaves of people.
तिमीहरू दाम तिरी किनिएका हौ, त्यसैले मानिसहरूको दास नबन ।
24 Brothers, let each one, in whatever condition he was called, stay in that condition with God.
भाइहरू हो, हामीलाई विश्‍वास गर्न बोलावट हुँदा हामी जस्तो अवस्थामा थियौँ, हामी त्यही अवस्थमा रहौँ ।
25 Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who has obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
अब कहिल्यै विवाह नगरेकाहरूको सम्बन्धमा मसँग प्रभुबाट केही पनि आज्ञा छैन । तर प्रभुको कृपाद्वारा विश्‍वासयोग्य ठहरिएको व्यक्‍तिको रूपमा म मेरो राय दिन्छु ।
26 I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a person to remain as he is.
त्यसकारण, आउन लागेको सङ्कष्‍टको कारणले गर्दा जुन व्यक्‍ति जस्तो अवस्थामा छ, त्यही अवस्थामा बस्‍नु असल हुन्छ ।
27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
के तिमी कुनै स्‍त्रीसँग वैवाहिक बन्धनमा बाँधिएका छौ? तिनीबाट स्वतन्‍त्र हुन नखोज । के तिमी अविवाहित छौ? पत्‍नीको खोजी नगर ।
28 But if you marry, you have not sinned. If a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have oppression in the flesh, and I want to spare you.
तर तिमीले विवाह गर्‍यौ भने पनि तिमीले पाप गर्दैनौ । कुनै कन्या केटीले विवाह गर्छ भने तिनले पाप गरेकी हुँदिन । तापनि विवाह गर्नेहरूले जीवन जिउने क्रममा धेरै दुःखकष्‍ट भोग्‍नेछन् र म तिमीहरूलाई तीबाट बचाउन चाहन्छु ।
29 But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, those who have wives should be as though they had none;
तर भाइहरू हो, म यो भन्छु कि समय छोटो छ । अब उप्रान्त पत्‍नी हुनेहरू पत्‍नी नभएजस्तो गरी जिऊन् ।
30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess;
रुनेहरू नरोएको जस्तै गरी बसून्; खुसी हुनेहरू खुसी नभएझैँ गरी बसून र किनमेल गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूसँग केही नभएझैँ गरून् ।
31 and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the form of this world is passing away.
अनि संसारसित व्यवहार गर्नेहरूले यससँग पूर्ण रूपमा नभएझैँ व्यवहार गरून्, किनकी यो संसारको प्रणालीको अन्त्य हुँदै छ र यो बितेर जाँदै छ ।
32 But I desire to have you to be free from cares. He who is unmarried is concerned for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord;
तिमीहरू निस्फिक्री होओ भन्‍ने म चाहन्छु । अविवाहित पुरुषले प्रभुलाई कसरी खुसी पार्ने भनी उहाँका कुराहरूका बारेमा चिन्ता गर्दछ ।
33 but he who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
तर विवाहित पुरुषले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई कसरी प्रसन्‍न पार्ने भनी संसारका कुराहरूमा फिक्री गर्दछ ।
34 and is divided. And the woman that is unmarried, or a virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the one that is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
ऊ दोहोरो मनको हुन्छ । अविवाहित स्‍त्री वा कन्याले शरीरमा र आत्मामा कसरी पवित्र हुन सक्छु भनी प्रभुका कुराहरूका फिक्री गर्दछ । तर विवाहित स्‍त्रीले आफ्नो पतिलाई कसरी प्रसन्‍न पार्न सकिन्छ भनी संसारका कुराहरूको चिन्ता गर्दछे ।
35 This I say for your own profit; not that I may ensnare you, but for that which is appropriate, and that you may attend to the Lord without distraction.
म तिमीहरूको आफ्नै भलाइका निम्ति भन्‍दछु, तिमीहरूलाई प्रतिबन्ध लगाउन होइन । जे ठिक छ म त्यही भन्दछु ताकि तिमीहरू बाधाबिना एक चित्तका भई भक्तिका साथ प्रभुमा लागिरहन सक ।
36 But if anyone thinks that he is behaving inappropriately toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of her age, and if need so requires, let him do what he desires. He does not sin. Let them marry.
कसैले विचार गर्दछ कि उसले मगनी भएकी आफ्नी कन्यासँग राम्रो व्यवहार गरिरहेको छैन भन्‍ने ठान्छ र तिनको विवाह गर्ने उमेर बितिसकेको छ भने चाहेबमोजिम उसले गरोस् ।
37 But he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own heart, to keep his own virgin, does well.
तर यदि ऊ हृदयमा पक्‍का छ, ऊ कुनै करकापमा परेको छैन भने र उसले आफ्नो इच्छा वशमा राख्‍न सक्छ, र उसले आफ्नो हृदयमा यसो गर्ने अर्थात् आफ्नी मगनी भएकी कन्यालाई कुमारी नै राख्‍ने निर्णय गरिसकेको छ भने उसले असल नै गर्दछ ।
38 So then both he who gives his own virgin in marriage does well, and he who does not give her in marriage does better.
त्यसैले, जसले आफ्नी कन्यासँग विवाह गर्दछ उसले असल नै गर्दछ, र जसले विवाह नगर्ने इच्छा गर्दछ भने उसले अझ बढी राम्रो गर्दछ ।
39 A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord.
स्‍त्री तिनको पति बाँचुञ्‍जेलसम्म बन्धनमा बाँधिएकी हुन्छिन् । तर तिनको पतिको मृत्यु भयो भने तिनी जोसँग विवाह गर्न चाहन्छिन् त्यससँग विवाह गर्न स्वतन्‍त्र हुन्छिन्, तर त्यो व्यक्‍ति प्रभुमा हुनुपर्छ ।
40 But she is happier if she stays as she is, in my judgment, and I think that I also have God's Ruach.
तापनि मेरो विचारमा यदि तिनी त्यस्तै अवस्थामा बस्छिन् भने तिनी अझ धेरै प्रसन्‍न रहन्छिन् । अनि मसँग पनि परमेश्‍वरको आत्मा छ भनी म विचार गर्दछु ।
