1 Corinthians 7
1 And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me, it is praiseworthy for a man not to approach a woman.
अब तिमीहरूले लेखेका यी कुराहरूका विषयमा भन्नुपर्दा पुरुषको लागि स्त्रीलाई नछुनु नै असल हो ।
2 But, on account of whoredom, let each have his own wife and let a 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 And let the man render to his wife the kindness which is due; and so also the woman to her husband.
पतिले पत्नीलाई उसको वैवाहिक हक देओस् र त्यसरी नै पत्नीले पनि आफ्नो पतिलाई ।
4 The woman is not the sovereign over her body, but her husband: so also the man is not the sovereign over his 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 Therefore, deprive not one another, except when ye both consent, at the time ye devote yourselves to fasting and prayer; and return again to the same disposition, that Satan tempt you not because of the concupiscence of your body.
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, as to weak persons, not of positive precept.
म तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू आज्ञाको रूपमा होइन, तर अनुमतिको रूपमा भन्दछु ।
7 For I would that all men might be like me in purity. But every man is endowed with his gift of God; one thus, and another so.
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 And I say to them who have no wives, and to widows, that it is advantageous to them to remain as I am.
अविवाहित र विधवाहरूलाई म भन्दछु कि तिनीहरू मजस्तै अविवाहित रहन्छन् भने यो तिनीहरूका लागि असल हुन्छ ।
9 But if they cannot endure it, let them marry: for it is more profitable to take a wife, than to burn with concupiscence.
तर यदि तिनीहरूले आफूलाई वशमा राख्न सक्दैनन् भने तिनीहरूले विवाह गरून् । कामुकतामा जल्नुभन्दा तिनीहरूका निम्ति विवाह गर्नु असल हो ।
10 And on them who have wives, I enjoin, -not I, but my Lord, -that the woman separate not from her husband.
अब विवाहितका निम्ति म यो आज्ञा दिन्छु । मैले होइन, तर प्रभुले दिनुहुन्छः
11 And if she separate, let her remain without a husband, or be reconciled to her husband; and let not the man put away 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 And to the rest, say I, - I, not my Lord, -that if there be a brother, who hath a wife that believeth not, and she is disposed to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
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 And that woman, who hath a husband that believeth not, and he is disposed to dwell with her let her not forsake her husband.
यदि पत्नीसँग अविश्वासी पति छ भने र ऊ तिनीसँग सन्तुष्ट छ भने, तिनले ऊसँग सम्बन्ध विच्छेद नगरुन् ।
14 For the husband who believeth not, is sanctified by the wife that believeth; and the wife who believeth not, is sanctified by the husband that believeth: otherwise their children would be impure; but now are they pure.
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 But if the unbeliever separateth, let him separate: A brother or sister is not in bondage in such cases: it is to peace, God hath called us.
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 knowest thou, O wife, whether thou wilt procure life to thy husband? Or, thou husband, knowest thou, whether thou wilt procure life to thy 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 Every one, however, as the Lord hath distributed to him, and every one as God hath called him, so let him walk. And also thus I enjoin upon all the churches.
प्रभुले खटाएबमोजिम र परमेश्वरले बोलाएबमोजिम हरेकले आफ्नो जीवन जिओस्, । सबै मण्डलीहरूका निम्ति मेरो नियम यही नै हो ।
18 Is a circumcised person called, let him not revert to uncircumcision: and if one uncircumcised be called, let him not become 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 For circumcision is nothing, neither is uncircumcision; but the keeping of God's commands.
न खतना केही हो न त बेखतना नै । प्रमुख कुरा परमेश्वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नु नै हो ।
20 Let every one continue in the vocation, in which he was called.
परमेश्वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा कुनै व्यक्ति जस्तो अवस्थामा थियो, हरेक त्यही बोलावटमा रहोस् ।
21 If thou wert called, being a servant; let it not trouble thee. But if thou canst be made free, choose it rather than to serve.
के परमेश्वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा तिमीहरू कमारा थियौ? यसको बारेमा तिमी फिक्री नगर । तर तिमीहरू स्वतन्त्र हुन सक्छौ भने यसको फाइदा उठाओ ।
22 For he that is called by our Lord, being a servant, is God's freedman: likewise, he that is called, being a free man, is the Messiah's servant.
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 Ye are bought with a price; become not the servants of men.
तिमीहरू दाम तिरी किनिएका हौ, त्यसैले मानिसहरूको दास नबन ।
24 Let every one, my Brethren, continue with God, in whatever state he was called.
भाइहरू हो, हामीलाई विश्वास गर्न बोलावट हुँदा हामी जस्तो अवस्थामा थियौँ, हामी त्यही अवस्थमा रहौँ ।
25 And concerning virginity, I have no precept from God; but I give counsels as a man who hath obtained mercy from God to be a believer.
अब कहिल्यै विवाह नगरेकाहरूको सम्बन्धमा मसँग प्रभुबाट केही पनि आज्ञा छैन । तर प्रभुको कृपाद्वारा विश्वासयोग्य ठहरिएको व्यक्तिको रूपमा म मेरो राय दिन्छु ।
26 And I think this is suitable, on account of the necessity of the times; it is advantageous for a man to remain as he is.
त्यसकारण, आउन लागेको सङ्कष्टको कारणले गर्दा जुन व्यक्ति जस्तो अवस्थामा छ, त्यही अवस्थामा बस्नु असल हुन्छ ।
27 Art thou bound to a wife? Seek not a release. Art thou free from a wife? Seek not a wife.
के तिमी कुनै स्त्रीसँग वैवाहिक बन्धनमा बाँधिएका छौ? तिनीबाट स्वतन्त्र हुन नखोज । के तिमी अविवाहित छौ? पत्नीको खोजी नगर ।
28 But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not. And if a maiden is given to a husband, she sinneth not. But they who are such, will have trouble in the body: but I am forbearing to 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 And this I say, my Brethren, that the time to come is short; so that they who have wives, should be as if they had none;
तर भाइहरू हो, म यो भन्छु कि समय छोटो छ । अब उप्रान्त पत्नी हुनेहरू पत्नी नभएजस्तो गरी जिऊन् ।
30 and they who weep, as if they wept not; and they who rejoice, as if they rejoiced not; and they who buy, as if they acquired not;
रुनेहरू नरोएको जस्तै गरी बसून्; खुसी हुनेहरू खुसी नभएझैँ गरी बसून र किनमेल गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूसँग केही नभएझैँ गरून् ।
31 and those occupied with this world, not going beyond the just using: for the fashion 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 And therefore I wish you to be without solicitude. For he who hath not a wife, considereth the thing of his Lord, how he may please his Lord.
तिमीहरू निस्फिक्री होओ भन्ने म चाहन्छु । अविवाहित पुरुषले प्रभुलाई कसरी खुसी पार्ने भनी उहाँका कुराहरूका बारेमा चिन्ता गर्दछ ।
33 And he who hath a wife, is anxious about the world, how he may please his wife.
तर विवाहित पुरुषले आफ्नी पत्नीलाई कसरी प्रसन्न पार्ने भनी संसारका कुराहरूमा फिक्री गर्दछ ।
34 There is a difference also between a wife and a maiden. She who is without a husband, thinketh of things pertaining to her Lord, that she may be holy in her body and in her spirit. But she who hath a husband, thinketh of things pertaining to 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 And this I say for your advantage; I am not laying a snare for you; but that ye may be faithful towards your Lord, in a suitable manner, while not minding worldly things.
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 any one thinketh that there is reproach, on account of his maiden daughter, because she hath passed her time, and he hath not presented her to a husband, and it be fitting that he present her; let him do what he desireth, he sinneth not; let her be married.
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 hath firmly determined in his own mind, and nothing compelleth him, and he can act his own pleasure, and he so judgeth in his heart, that he keep his maiden daughter, he doeth commendably.
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 And therefore, he who presenteth his maiden daughter, doeth commendably; and he who presenteth not his maiden daughter, doeth very commendably.
त्यसैले, जसले आफ्नी कन्यासँग विवाह गर्दछ उसले असल नै गर्दछ, र जसले विवाह नगर्ने इच्छा गर्दछ भने उसले अझ बढी राम्रो गर्दछ ।
39 A woman, while her husband liveth, is bound by the law; but if her husband sleepeth in death, she is free to marry whom she pleaseth, yet 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, in my opinion, if she remain so: and I think also, that I have the Spirit of God.
तापनि मेरो विचारमा यदि तिनी त्यस्तै अवस्थामा बस्छिन् भने तिनी अझ धेरै प्रसन्न रहन्छिन् । अनि मसँग पनि परमेश्वरको आत्मा छ भनी म विचार गर्दछु ।
