< 2 Corinthians 6 >
1 [Therefore], because I am working together with God [himself], I say this to you very strongly: God has [already] kindly [forgiven you because Christ died for you], so do not now [say] “It does not matter [if I live just to please myself].”
ଆହୁରି ମଧ୍ୟ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତି ଯେପରି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କଠାରେ ବୃଥା ନ ହୁଏ, ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତାହାଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଏକତ୍ର କର୍ମ କରୁ କରୁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ନିବେଦନ କରୁଅଛୁ।
2 For God said [long ago in the Scriptures]: When it is the right time [for me] to help you, [you will ask me to help you], and I will hear you. Then I will [send] a Savior to help you. [So listen to what] I am telling you: God [has sent] his Savior, so now is the time when [God is ready to] save [people from the guilt of their sins].
କାରଣ ସେ କହନ୍ତି, “ଆମ୍ଭେ ଅନୁଗ୍ରହର ସମୟରେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା ଶ୍ରବଣ କଲୁ, ଆଉ ପରିତ୍ରାଣର ଦିନରେ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସାହାଯ୍ୟ କଲୁ।” ଦେଖ, ଏବେ ମହା-ଅନୁଗ୍ରହର ସମୟ; ଦେଖ, ଏବେ ପରିତ୍ରାଣର ଦିନ।
3 Neither I nor the men [working] with me do anything that would hinder people from trusting in Christ, and so we cannot be accused {no one can accuse [us]} [of not] serving [God properly].
ଯେପରି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସେବକପଦ ନିନ୍ଦିତ ନ ହୁଏ, ସେଥିପାଇଁ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କୌଣସି ବିଷୟରେ ବାଧା ନ ଦେଉ,
4 Instead, in everything [that we(exc) say and do], we show [people] that we serve God faithfully. We patiently endure [all the things that happen to us. People cause us] many troubles and, as a result, we are anxious [and often do not know what to do].
ବରଂ ବହୁ ଧୈର୍ଯ୍ୟରେ, କ୍ଳେଶରେ, ଦୁର୍ଦ୍ଦଶାରେ, ସଙ୍କଟରେ,
5 Sometimes we have been beaten [and bound] {People have beaten [us and tied us]} [with] chains in prison. [Angry mobs] have attacked us, [wanting to kill us]. We have continued working [for God until we had no more strength to work]. We have had many sleepless nights, and we have [often been without food].
ପ୍ରହାରରେ, କାରାବାସରେ, ବିପ୍ଳବରେ, ପରିଶ୍ରମରେ, ଜାଗରଣରେ, ଉପବାସରେ,
6 [All that we think about and all that we do is] pure [in God’s sight]. Knowing [how God wants us to conduct our lives, we do what pleases him]. We are patient [with those who oppose us]. We are kind [to everyone. We depend on] the Holy Spirit [to help us]. We love people sincerely [as God wants us to love them].
ପବିତ୍ରତାରେ, ଜ୍ଞାନରେ, ଦୀର୍ଘସହିଷ୍ଣୁତାରେ, କୋମଳଭାବରେ, ପବିତ୍ର ଆତ୍ମାଙ୍କଠାରେ, ନିଷ୍କପଟ ପ୍ରେମରେ,
7 We faithfully teach [the true] message [about Christ], and God [gives us] his power [as we teach it. Like soldiers] using weapons [MET] [in a battle], we, by [living] righteously, [defend God’s message and refute those who attack it].
ସତ୍ୟ ବାକ୍ୟରେ, ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଶକ୍ତିରେ, ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ଓ ବାମହସ୍ତରେ ଧାର୍ମିକତାର ଅସ୍ତ୍ରଶସ୍ତ୍ର ଦ୍ୱାରା,
8 [We serve God faithfully], whether [people] praise us [(exc)] or [whether they] despise us, whether [people say] bad things [about us(exc)] or [whether they say] good things [about us. We keep teaching] the truth, [even though some people say that] we are deceiving [people].
ଗୌରବ ଓ ଅନାଦର ଦ୍ୱାରା, ଅଖ୍ୟାତି ଓ ସୁଖ୍ୟାତି ଦ୍ୱାରା, ପ୍ରତାରକ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, ଅଥବା ସତ୍ୟବାଦୀ,
9 [Some people] know [well that we are true servants of God, and yet others], who know us, refuse to [believe that. People have often tried to] kill us [(inc)], yet we are still alive. We have [often] been beaten, but we have not been killed {[People have often] beaten us [(exc)], but [they] have not killed us}.
ଅପରିଚିତ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, ଅଥବା ସୁପରିଚିତ, ମୃତକଳ୍ପ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, ଅଥବା ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜୀବିତ, ଶାସ୍ତିପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ତୁଲ୍ୟ,
10 Although we [(exc)] are often very sad [because people have rejected our message], we are always joyful [because of all that God has done for us]. Even though we [(exc)] are poor, we make [it possible for] many people to be [spiritually] rich. It is true that [in this world] we [(exc)] have nothing [valuable] [HYP], but [because we belong to God’s family], all [that God has] belongs to us.
ଅଥବା ନିହତ ନୋହୁଁ, ଦୁଃଖିତ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, କିନ୍ତୁ ସର୍ବଦା ଆନନ୍ଦିତ, ଦୀନହୀନର ତୁଲ୍ୟ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଅନେକଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଧନଦାୟକ, ଅକିଞ୍ଚନ ତୁଲ୍ୟ, ଅଥବା ସର୍ବାଧିକାରୀ; ଏହି ସମସ୍ତରେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ସେବକ ସଦୃଶ ଆପଣା ଆପଣାକୁ ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରକାଶ କରୁଅଛୁ।
11 You [fellow believers] in Corinth, [I have been] completely honest with you. [I have told you exactly how we(exc) feel about you, that] we love you very much [IDM].
ହେ କରିନ୍ଥୀୟମାନେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ମୁଖ ଉନ୍ମୁକ୍ତ ହୋଇଅଛି, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ହୃଦୟ ପ୍ରଶସ୍ତ ହୋଇଅଛି।
12 We are not [treating you as though we do not] love you, but you are [treating us as though you do] not love us.
ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପ୍ରତି ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସ୍ନେହ ସଙ୍କୁଚିତ ନୁହେଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ସ୍ନେହ ସଙ୍କୁଚିତ।
13 In return [for our loving you, will you not] love [us] [IDM] just as [much as we love you?] I am writing [to you] as if you were my own children.
ନିଜର ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିବା ପରି ମୁଁ କହୁଅଛି, ଅନୁରୂପ ପ୍ରତିଦାନ ନିମନ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଶସ୍ତମନା ହୁଅ।
14 Do not (team up/have a close relationship) with anyone who does not trust [in Christ. I say this] because we who [trust in Christ and do] what is right should not [RHQ] [want to do things] with wicked people. Or [to say it in another way], just like light and darkness never join together, so [those who belong to Christ and those who belong to Satan should never join together] [RHQ].
ଅବିଶ୍ୱାସୀମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଅସମାନ ରୂପେ ଯୋଚା ନ ଯାଅ, କାରଣ ଧର୍ମ ଓ ଅଧର୍ମ ମଧ୍ୟରେ କି ସହଭାଗିତା? ଅବା ଅନ୍ଧକାର ସହିତ ଆଲୋକର କି ସହଭାଗିତା?
15 There is no [RHQ] agreement of any kind between Christ and Satan. [So], believers have no [RHQ] common [spiritual] interests with unbelievers.
ବିଲିୟାର୍ ସହିତ ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର କି ମିଳନ? କିମ୍ବା ଅବିଶ୍ୱାସୀ ସହିତ ବିଶ୍ୱାସୀର କି ଅଂଶ?
16 [Just] as no one would [dare to bring] idols into the Temple [in Jerusalem], believers should never [RHQ] join with those who worship idols. [I say that] because [MET] [the Holy Spirit is in us, and so] we are [like] the Temple of the all-powerful God. [It is] as God himself said [in the Scriptures]: I will live in [my people]. I will always be with/helping them. [They will say to me], “You are our God,” and [I will say to them], “You are my people.”
ପ୍ରତିମା ସହିତ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମନ୍ଦିରର କି ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧ? କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଜୀବିତ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ମନ୍ଦିର ଅଟୁ, ଯେପରି ଈଶ୍ବର କହିଅଛନ୍ତି, “ଆମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ବାସ କରିବା, ଆଉ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଭ୍ରମଣ କରିବା; ଆମ୍ଭେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଈଶ୍ବର ହେବା, ଆଉ ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର ଲୋକ ହେବେ।”
17 [In another place in the Scriptures we read that] the Lord said: Get away from those who do evil things; keep yourselves separated from them. Do [nothing sinful that would make you] unacceptable to me. Then I will welcome you [as members of my family].
ଏଣୁ ପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହା କହନ୍ତି, “ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ବାହାରି ଆସ, ଆଉ ପୃଥକ ହୁଅ, ଆଉ, ଅଶୁଚି ପଦାର୍ଥ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ କର ନାହିଁ; ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରିବା”
18 [The Lord also said]: I will [care for you] as [MET] a loving father [cares for his children], and [it will be as though] you are my own sons and daughters. I, the all-powerful Lord, am saying this [to you].
“ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ପିତା ହେବା, ପୁଣି, ତୁମ୍ଭେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭର ପୁତ୍ରକନ୍ୟା ହେବ, ଏହା ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ପ୍ରଭୁ କହନ୍ତି।”
