< 1 Thessalonians 2 >

1 For, yourselves, know, brethren, our entrance which was unto you—that it hath not proved void;
भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू आफैलाई थाहा छ कि तिमीहरूमा हाम्रो आगमन बेकम्मा थिएन,
2 But, though we had previously suffered, and been insulted, even as ye know, in Philippi, we waxed bold in our God to speak unto you the glad-message of God with much conflict.
तर तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ, हामीले पहिला नै कष्‍ट भोग्यौँ र फिलिप्पिमा हामीलाई निर्लज्जपूर्वक व्यवहार गरियो । हामी ठुलो विवादको बिचमा पनि तिमीहरूसँग परमेश्‍वरको सुसमाचार बताउन परमेश्‍वरमा साहसी भयौँ ।
3 For, our exhortation, is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile,
किनभने हाम्रो उत्साह गलत कुराबाट होइन न त अशुद्ध, न छलबाट नै आएको हो,
4 But, even as we have been approved by God, to be entrusted with the glad-message, so, we speak, —not as, unto men, giving pleasure, but unto God—who proveth our hearts.
तर जसरी परमेश्‍वरले हामीहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुम्पिएको व्यक्तिको रूपमा स्वीकृति दिनुभएको छ, त्यसैले हामी मानिसलाई होइन तर हाम्रो हृदय जाँच्‍नुहुने परमेश्‍वरलाई खुसी पार्नलाई बोल्छौँ ।
5 For neither at any time were we found, using words of flattery, —even as ye know, nor a pretext for greed—God, is witness!
तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ र परमेश्‍वर पनि साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ कि हामीले कुनै पनि बेला चाप्लुसी गरेनौँ, न त लोभको निम्ति बहाना नै बनायौँ,
6 Nor, of men, seeking glory—either from you, or from others, though we could have assumed, dignity, as Apostles of Christ;
न त हामीले मानिसहरूबाट महिमा खोज्यौँ, न त तिमीहरूबाट या अरूहरूबाट नै, जब कि हामीले ख्रीष्‍टको प्रेरितहरूको रूपमा विशेष सुविधाहरूको दाबी गर्न सक्थ्यौँ ।
7 But we became gentle in your midst, —as though, a nursing mother, had been cherishing her own children:
यसको सट्टा हामीहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा एउटा आमाले आफ्ना बाल बच्‍चालाई सान्त्वना दिएजस्तै भद्र भयौँ ।
8 Thus, yearning after you, we could have been well-pleased to impart unto you—not only the glad-message of God, but, our own lives also, —because, very dear to us, had ye become.
यसरी तिमीहरूप्रति हाम्रो गहिरो प्रेम थियो, हामी तिमीहरूसँग परमेश्‍वरको सुसमाचार बाँड्न मात्र होइन, तर हाम्रो जीवन बाँड्न पनि खुसी थियौँ किनभने तिमीहरू हाम्रो निम्ति अति प्रिय भएका छौ ।
9 For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad-message of God,
किनभने भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई हाम्रो परिश्रम र काम याद छ, कि हामीले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्‍वरको सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्दै हामी तिमीहरू कसैलाई बोझ नबनौँ भनेर हामीले दिनरात काम गर्‍यौँ ।
10 Ye, are witnesses—God also, how kindly and righteously and blamelessly, unto you who were believing, we were found to behave;
हामीले तिमीहरू विश्‍वास गर्नेहरूसित कति पवित्रता, धार्मिकता र कपटरहित व्यवहार गर्‍यौँ भन्‍ने कुराको साक्षी तिमीहरू छौ र परमेश्‍वर पनि हुनुहुन्छ,
11 Even as ye know how, unto each one of you, we were as a father unto his own children, consoling you, and soothing, and calling to witness, —
तिमीहरूलाई पनि थाहा छ, कि हामीले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई कसरी एउटा बुबाले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई गरे झैँ तिमीहरूलाई उत्साह, सान्त्वना दियौँ र गवाही दियौँ,
12 To the end ye might be walking in a manner worthy of God, who is calling you unto his own kingdom and glory,
कि तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वरको योग्यको भएर हिँड्न सक जसले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको राज्य र महिमामा बोलाउनुहुन्छ ।
13 And, for this cause, we, are also giving thanks unto God unceasingly, that, when ye received a spoken word from us—which was God’s, ye welcomed it—not as a human word, but, even as it truly is, a divine word, —which is also inwardly working itself in you who believe.
यही कारणको निम्ति हामी परमेश्‍वरलाई निरन्तर धन्यवाद दिन्छौँ । किनभने तिमीहरूले जब हामीबाट परमेश्‍वरको वचन, सन्देशको वचन पायौ तिमीहरूले मानिसको वचनको रूपमा मात्र ग्रहण गरेनौ, तर साँच्‍चै परमेश्‍वरको वचनको रूपमा नै ग्रहण गर्‍यौ
14 For, ye, became, imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God which are in Judaea, in Christ Jesus, in that, the same things, ye, also suffered by your own fellow-countrymen, even as, they, also by the Jews:
किनभने भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा भएका यहूदियाका मण्डलीबिच तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वरको मण्डलीको नक्‍कल गर्नेहरू भएका छौ किनभने तिनीहरूले यहूदीहरूबाट सतावट पाएजस्तै तिमीहरू पनि आफ्नै मानिसहरूबाट सताइएका छौ ।
15 Who have both slain the, Lord, Jesus—and the prophets, and, us, have persecuted, and, unto God, are displeasing, and, unto all men, are contrary, —
जसले प्रभु येशू र अगमवक्‍ताहरूलाई मारे र हामीलाई पनि धपाए, जसले परमेश्‍वरलाई खुसी पार्दैनन, तर सबै मानिसहरूप्रति शत्रुता राख्छन् ।
16 Hindering us from speaking, unto the nations, that they might be saved, to the filling up of their own sins, continually; but anger hath overtaken them at length.
तिनीहरू सदैव तिनीहरूका पापहरूबाट भरिन हामीहरूलाई गैरयहूदीहरूले उद्धार पाऊन् भनेर बोल्न दिँदैनन् । तिनीहरूमाथि क्रोध चरम रूपमा आएको छ ।
17 Now, we, brethren, having been bereaved away from you, for the season of an hour, —in presence, not in heart, gave more abundant diligence, your face, to behold, with much longing;
भाइहरू हो, हामीहरू छोटो समयको निम्ति हृदयमा होइन, तर उपस्थितिमा छुट्‌ट्याइएका थियौँ र हामीले तिमीहरूलाई भेट गर्नलाई सक्दो तीव्र इच्छा गर्‍यौँ ।
18 Wherefore, we desired to come unto you—even, I, Paul, both once and again, —and, Satan, thwarted us.
किनभने हामी तिमीहरूकहाँ आउन चाहन्थ्यौँ । म पावलले बारम्बार कोसिस गरेँ, तर शैतानले हामीलाई बाधा दियो ।
19 For what shall be our hope, or joy, or crown of boasting? Shall not even, ye, before our Lord Jesus, in his Presence?
किनभने हाम्रा प्रभु येशूको आगमनमा उहाँको सामु हाम्रो भविष्यको निम्ति दृढ आनन्द वा महिमाको मुकुट अरूहरू जति नै तिमीहरू नै होइनौ र?
20 Ye, in fact, are our glory and joy.
किनभने तिमीहरू हाम्रो महिमा र आनन्द हौ ।
