1 Corinthians 16
1 Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
१अब उस चन्दे के विषय में जो पवित्र लोगों के लिये किया जाता है, जैसा निर्देश मैंने गलातिया की कलीसियाओं को दिया, वैसा ही तुम भी करो।
2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
२सप्ताह के पहले दिन तुम में से हर एक अपनी आमदनी के अनुसार कुछ अपने पास रख छोड़ा करे, कि मेरे आने पर चन्दा न करना पड़े।
3 Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
३और जब मैं आऊँगा, तो जिन्हें तुम चाहोगे उन्हें मैं चिट्ठियाँ देकर भेज दूँगा, कि तुम्हारा दान यरूशलेम पहुँचा दें।
4 And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
४और यदि मेरा भी जाना उचित हुआ, तो वे मेरे साथ जाएँगे।
5 Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
५और मैं मकिदुनिया होकर तुम्हारे पास आऊँगा, क्योंकि मुझे मकिदुनिया होकर जाना ही है।
6 Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
६परन्तु सम्भव है कि तुम्हारे यहाँ ही ठहर जाऊँ और शरद ऋतु तुम्हारे यहाँ काटूँ, तब जिस ओर मेरा जाना हो, उस ओर तुम मुझे पहुँचा दो।
7 I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
७क्योंकि मैं अब मार्ग में तुम से भेंट करना नहीं चाहता; परन्तु मुझे आशा है, कि यदि प्रभु चाहे तो कुछ समय तक तुम्हारे साथ रहूँगा।
8 But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
८परन्तु मैं पिन्तेकुस्त तक इफिसुस में रहूँगा।
9 [I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
९क्योंकि मेरे लिये एक बड़ा और उपयोगी द्वार खुला है, और विरोधी बहुत से हैं।
10 When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
१०यदि तीमुथियुस आ जाए, तो देखना, कि वह तुम्हारे यहाँ निडर रहे; क्योंकि वह मेरे समान प्रभु का काम करता है।
11 Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
११इसलिए कोई उसे तुच्छ न जाने, परन्तु उसे कुशल से इस ओर पहुँचा देना, कि मेरे पास आ जाए; क्योंकि मैं उसकी प्रतीक्षा करता रहा हूँ, कि वह भाइयों के साथ आए।
12 [You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
१२और भाई अपुल्लोस से मैंने बहुत विनती की है कि तुम्हारे पास भाइयों के साथ जाए; परन्तु उसने इस समय जाने की कुछ भी इच्छा न की, परन्तु जब अवसर पाएगा, तब आ जाएगा।
13 Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
१३जागते रहो, विश्वास में स्थिर रहो, पुरुषार्थ करो, बलवन्त हो।
14 Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
१४जो कुछ करते हो प्रेम से करो।
15 You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
१५हे भाइयों, तुम स्तिफनास के घराने को जानते हो, कि वे अखाया के पहले फल हैं, और पवित्र लोगों की सेवा के लिये तैयार रहते हैं।
16 My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
१६इसलिए मैं तुम से विनती करता हूँ कि ऐसों के अधीन रहो, वरन् हर एक के जो इस काम में परिश्रमी और सहकर्मी हैं।
17 I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
१७और मैं स्तिफनास और फूरतूनातुस और अखइकुस के आने से आनन्दित हूँ, क्योंकि उन्होंने तुम्हारी घटी को पूरी की है।
18 They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
१८और उन्होंने मेरी और तुम्हारी आत्मा को चैन दिया है इसलिए ऐसों को मानो।
19 The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
१९आसिया की कलीसियाओं की ओर से तुम को नमस्कार; अक्विला और प्रिस्का का और उनके घर की कलीसिया का भी तुम को प्रभु में बहुत-बहुत नमस्कार।
20 All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
२०सब भाइयों का तुम को नमस्कार: पवित्र चुम्बन से आपस में नमस्कार करो।
21 Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
२१मुझ पौलुस का अपने हाथ का लिखा हुआ नमस्कार:
22 (I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
२२यदि कोई प्रभु से प्रेम न रखे तो वह शापित हो। हे हमारे प्रभु, आ!
23 I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
२३प्रभु यीशु मसीह का अनुग्रह तुम पर होता रहे।
24 I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
२४मेरा प्रेम मसीह यीशु में तुम सब के साथ रहे। आमीन।
