< 2 Corinthians 5 >
1 We know that [these bodies] we live in [here in this world are like] [MET] tents. [They are like temporary living/dwelling places]. [So we should not be concerned about what happens to our bodies]. We know that if we are killed {if [someone] kills us}, God will give us [permanent living places. Those permanent living places] [MET] will not be houses that people have made. They [will be new bodies in which we will live forever] in heaven. (aiōnios )
କାରଣ ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଏହି ତମ୍ବୁରୂପ ପାର୍ଥିବ ଗୃହ ଭାଙ୍ଗିଯାଏ, ତେବେ ଈଶ୍ବରକୃତ ଅହସ୍ତନିର୍ମିତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଏକ ଅନନ୍ତକାଳସ୍ଥାୟୀ ଗୃହ ଯେ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗରେ ଅଛି, ଏହା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣୁ। (aiōnios )
2 [While we are here on earth, we suffer]. We often groan because we desire [to go] to heaven [where God] will give us our new [bodies] [MET].
ଯେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ଗୃହରୂପ ବସ୍ତ୍ରରେ ପରିହିତ ହେବାକୁ ଏକାନ୍ତ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରି ଏହି ଗୃହରେ ଥାଉ ଥାଉ ଆର୍ତ୍ତନାଦ କରୁଅଛୁ;
3 When [God gives us(inc) our new bodies] [MET], our [spirits will have] [LIT, MET] bodies to live in [that will last forever].
ଏହିପରି ପରିହିତ ହେଲେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଉଲଗ୍ନ ଦେଖାଯିବା ନାହିଁ।
4 [It is true that] while we are still living in these bodies [MET] [that do not last forever], we often groan [DOU] [because we desire to be free from them]. We are not longing to be without a body. Instead, [we groan because] we desire to receive our new bodies [MET] in heaven. We long for this to happen so that these bodies that are going to die some day will suddenly be changed [into bodies] that will live [forever].
କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏହି ତମ୍ବୁରେ ବାସ କରି ଭାରଗ୍ରସ୍ତ ହୋଇ ଆର୍ତ୍ତନାଦ କରୁଅଛୁ; ଯେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଯେ ପରିଚ୍ଛଦ ତ୍ୟାଗ କରିବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁ, ତାହା ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଜୀବନ ଯେପରି ମର୍ତ୍ତ୍ୟକୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରେ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ଏହି ପରିଚ୍ଛଦ ଉପରେ ଅନ୍ୟ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ପରିଧାନ କରିବାକୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରୁଅଛୁ।
5 It is God himself who has prepared us to [receive] these [new bodies]. He is also the one who has guaranteed/assured us [(inc)] that this will happen. He has guaranteed it by sending his Spirit [to live inside us now].
ଆଉ ଯେ ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ଈଶ୍ବର, ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ବଇନା ସ୍ୱରୂପେ ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମା ମଧ୍ୟ ଦାନ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
6 So, [because God’s Spirit lives in us], we are always confident [that God will give us new bodies]. We know that as long as we have bodies here on [earth], we are not yet [living together] with the Lord [Jesus in heaven].
ଅତଏବ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସର୍ବଦା ସାହସୀ ଅଟୁ, ଆଉ ଏହି ଶରୀରରେ ଯେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ନିବାସ କରୁଅଛୁ, ସେପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଯେ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଦୂରରେ ପ୍ରବାସ କରୁଅଛୁ, ଏହା ଜାଣୁ।
7 While we [(exc)] live [here, we] do not have our [new bodies, but we are] trusting [that God will give them to us].
(କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଦୃଶ୍ୟ ବିଷୟ ଦେଇ ଜୀବନଯାପନ ନ କରି ବିଶ୍ୱାସରେ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରୁଅଛୁ),
8 [As I said], we [(exc)] are confident [that he will give us new bodies]. We [(exc)] would much prefer to leave these bodies [which we have now], and be with the Lord [Jesus in our] home in [heaven].
ହଁ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସାହସୀ ଅଟୁ, ଆଉ ଶରୀରଠାରୁ ଦୂରରେ ବାସ କରି ବରଂ ପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ନିବାସ କରିବାରେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଅଧିକ ସନ୍ତୋଷ।
9 Because of all that, we always want to please [Jesus in everything that we do]. Whether we [(exc)] are [still living] here [in these] bodies or whether we have [left] them and are living in our home [in heaven], we want to please him.
ଏଣୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ନିବାସୀ ହେଉ ବା ପ୍ରବାସୀ ହେଉ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ସନ୍ତୋଷପାତ୍ର ହେବା ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଏକାନ୍ତ ବାସନା।
10 [And we need to try hard to do that] because each one of us [believers] must stand before Christ [to be] judged [by him] {[when he will] judge [his people]}. [At that time] he will [reward each one of] us according to what we have done [while we lived in this world] in these bodies. [He will reward us according to] whether we have done good things or whether we have done evil things.
କାରଣ ଭଲ ହେଉ ବା ମନ୍ଦ ହେଉ, ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ଜଣ ଆପଣା ଶରୀର ଦ୍ୱାରା କୃତ କର୍ମାନୁସାରେ ଫଳ ପାଇବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ବିଚାରାସନ ଛାମୁରେ ଆମ୍ଭ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେବାକୁ ହେବ।
11 It makes me fearful [to think that some day I will stand before the Lord for him to judge me]. So I [do everything that I can to] convince people [that they should believe] (OR, [that I teach] sincerely) [God’s message]. God knows very well [how I conduct my life and what I teach], and I really believe that you know it, too.
ଅତଏବ, ପ୍ରଭୁ ବିଷୟକ ଭୟ ଜ୍ଞାତ ହେବାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ମଣାଉଅଛୁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ଅଟୁ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିବେକ ନିକଟରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଯେ ପ୍ରକାଶିତ ଅଟୁ, ଏହା ମୁଁ ଆଶା କରେ।
12 Once again [I say, as I write this], I am not just [trying to] make you think well/highly of me, [as some people will probably say that I am]. Instead, I am [telling you in this letter why you have] good reason [to tell those who criticize me] that you think highly of me. [I am telling you this] so that you will know what to say to those [teachers of false doctrine among you]. They are proud [of what they have done], instead of [making sure that] they [are right with God and being pleased with that].
ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ଆତ୍ମପ୍ରଶଂସା କରୁ ନାହୁଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଆନ୍ତରିକ ବିଷୟରେ ଦର୍ପ ନ କରି ବାହ୍ୟ ବିଷୟରେ ଦର୍ପ କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ଯେପରି ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଇପାରୁ, ଏଥିନିମନ୍ତେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସପକ୍ଷରେ ଦର୍ପ କରିବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସୁଯୋଗ ଦେଉଅଛୁ।
13 [Some of them say that after God has enabled me to see visions], I [talk like] a crazy person. If [that is so, I want you to realize that I talk that way in order to please] God. On the other hand, if [you think that] I [speak and act] wisely, [that is good. I want you to know that I do] speak and act wisely in order to [help] you.
ଯେଣୁ ଯଦି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ନିର୍ବୋଧ, ତାହା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ; କିଅବା ଯଦି ସୁବୋଧ, ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ।
14 [I speak and act the way I do] because the love that Christ [has for people] influences me [in everything that I say and do]. When Christ died, [he suffered the punishment] for [the sins of] all people. So, we should all [think of ourselves as having] died with him, [being as unresponsive to sinful desires as] [MET] a corpse is.
କାରଣ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ପ୍ରେମ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ବଶରେ ରଖି ଚଳାଉଅଛି, ଯେଣୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଏହି ବିଚାର କରିଅଛୁ ଯେ, ଜଣେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଭୋଗ କରିଥିବାରୁ ସମସ୍ତେ ମୃତ ହେଲେ;
15 When [Christ] died for the everyone, he died in order that [we believers who are alive now] should not conduct our lives in a way that will just [please ourselves]. Instead, [we should conduct our lives in a way that will please] Christ, [because] he is the one who died for us and was brought back to life {whom [God] raised} again.
ଆଉ ସେ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଭୋଗ କଲେ, ଯେପରି ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଜୀବିତ, ସେମାନେ ଆଉ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଜୀବନଯାପନ ନ କରି ବରଂ ଯେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଭୋଗ କଲେ ଓ ଉତ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ, ତାହାଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଜୀବନଯାପନ କରନ୍ତି।
16 So, [because I realize how much Christ loves everyone], I no longer think about people in the way that those who do not believe [in Christ] think about [them]. Before I [was a believer], I thought about Christ in the way that other non-believers did. But I do not think of him that way any more.
ଅତଏବ ଆଜିଠାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଶରୀର ଅନୁସାରେ କାହାରିକୁ ଜାଣୁ ନାହୁଁ; ଯଦ୍ୟପି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କୁ ଶରୀର ଅନୁସାରେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜାଣିଅଛୁ, ତଥାପି ଏବେ ଆଉ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସେହି ପ୍ରକାରେ ଜାଣୁ ନାହୁଁ।
17 The fact is that God makes every one [of us] who [trusts] in Christ to be completely different [than we were before]. Our old [way of conducting our lives] is gone. We now have a [completely] new way of [conducting our lives].
ଏଣୁ ଯଦି କେହି ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ ଅଛି, ତେବେ ସେ ନୂତନ ସୃଷ୍ଟି ହୋଇଅଛି ପୁରାତନ ବିଷୟସବୁ ଲୋପ ପାଇଅଛି, ଦେଖ, ନୂତନ ବିଷୟସବୁ ହୋଇଅଛି।
18 This [complete change in our lives] is all something that God [does]. It is God who made it possible for us to have a peaceful relationship with him. [He was able to do that] because of what Christ [did for us]. Now God [has sent] me, and those [who work] with me, to tell [people that they] can have a peaceful relationship with him.
କିନ୍ତୁ ସମସ୍ତ ବିଷୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କଠାରୁ ହୋଇଅଛି; ସେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆପଣା ସହିତ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ସମ୍ମିଳିତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି ଓ ସେହି ସମ୍ମିଳନର ସେବକପଦ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦେଇଅଛନ୍ତି;
19 That is, [he sent us(exc) to tell them that] when Christ [died], God was [making it possible for everyone] [MTY] in the world to have a peaceful relationship with him. He no longer keeps a record of the sinful things that [we believers] have done. The message that [God] has given to us [to tell people is how we can have a] peaceful relationship with him.
ସେହି ସମ୍ମିଳନର ବାକ୍ୟ ଏହି, ଈଶ୍ବର ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କଠାରେ ଜଗତକୁ ଆପଣା ସହିତ ସମ୍ମିଳିତ କରୁଥିଲେ; ସେ ଜଗତବାସୀଙ୍କର ଅପରାଧ ଗଣନା ନ କରି ସେହି ସମ୍ମିଳନର ବାକ୍ୟ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
20 So, it is I and my companions who are Christ’s representatives [in this world. When we tell people the message about Christ], it is God himself who is pleading with them by means of what we [say]. So, as true representatives of Christ, we plead with you: [Believe God’s true message about Christ in order that you may] be reconciled to {have a peaceful relationship with} him.
ଅତଏବ, ଈଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆହ୍ୱାନ କରୁଥିବାରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ପକ୍ଷରେ ରାଜଦୂତର କର୍ମ କରୁଅଛୁ; ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ପକ୍ଷରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ନିବେଦନ କରୁଅଛୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସହିତ ସମ୍ମିଳିତ ହୁଅ।
21 [You must believe that even though] Jesus never sinned, God [punished him for all the] sinful things [that people do, just] as [if Jesus had done those sinful things himself]. And because of our close relationship with Christ, God has erased the record of our sins/declared us no longer guilty for our sins.
ଯାହାଙ୍କଠାରେ ପାପର ଲେଶମାତ୍ର ନ ଥିଲା, ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ସେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ପାପ ସ୍ୱରୂପ କଲେ, ଯେପରି ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ଧାର୍ମିକତାସ୍ୱରୂପ ହେଉ।
