< १ कोरिन्थी 16 >
1 अब विश्वासीहरूका निम्ति भेटीको बारेमा गलातीका मण्डलीहरूलाई मैले निर्देशन दिएअनुसार तिमीहरूले गर्नू ।
NOW concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I have given an order to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye.
2 हप्ताको पहिलो दिन तिमीहरूको दक्षताअनुसार हरेकले केही जम्मा गरेर एक ठाउँमा भेला गर, ताकि म आउँदा भेटी उठाउन नपरोस् ।
On the first day of the week let every one of you set apart with himself, treasuring it up, whatsoever he may please to give, that when I come there may be then no gatherings.
3 र जब म आइपुग्छु, तिमीहरूले समर्थन गरेका व्यक्तिको हातमा पत्र लेखेर तिमीहरूको भेटीलाई यरूशलेममा पठाइदिनेछु ।
But when I come, whosoever you shall approve by letters, those will I send to carry your charity to Jerusalem.
4 र म पनि जानको निम्ति उचित भयो भने, तिनीहरू मसँगै जानेछन् ।
But if it be of importance that I should go also, they shall go with me.
5 तर माकेडोनियाको यात्रा गरिसकेपछि म तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछु, किनकि म माकेडोनिया भएर जानेछु ।
Now I will come unto you when I have passed through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia);
6 सायद म तिमीहरूसँगै बस्नेछु अथवा पुरै हिउँद बिताउनेछु, ताकि तिमीहरूले मेरो यात्रामा म जहाँ जान्छु त्यहाँ सहायता गर्न सक ।
and perhaps I shall abide with you, yea and winter with you, that you may send me forward whithersoever I go.
7 किनकि अब म छोटो समयको निम्ति मात्र तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न चाहन्नँ । यदि परमेश्वरले मलाई अनुमति दिनुभयो भने मैले तिमीहरूसँग केही समय बिताउने आशा राखेको छु ।
For I will not see you now in passing, but I hope to remain some considerable time with you if the Lord permit.
8 तर म पेन्तिकोससम्म एफिससमा नै बस्नेछु ।
But I shall abide at Ephesus until the Pentecost:
9 किनकि मेरो निम्ति फराकिलो ढोका खोलिएको छ, तर त्यहाँ धेरै विरोधीहरू पनि छन् ।
for there is opened to me a great door, and effectual, and there are many adversaries.
10 तिमोथी त्यहाँ आउँदा तिनलाई तिमीहरूसँग बिनाडर बस्न देओ, किनकि तिनी पनि मैले जस्तै परमेश्वरको सेवा गर्दछन् ।
But if Timothy come, see that he may be among you without fear: for he worketh the Lord’s work, as I also do.
11 कसैले पनि तिनको अवहेलना नगरोस् । शान्तिसँग तिनको यात्रामा सहायता गर, ताकि तिनी मकहाँ आउन सकून् । किनकि तिनी अरू भाइहरूसँगै आउनेछन् भनी मैले आशा गरिरहेको छु ।
Let no man therefore treat him with disrespect; but forward him on his way in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.
12 अब हाम्रा भाइ अपोल्लोसको बारेमा भन्नुपर्दा मैले तिनलाई भाइहरूका साथ तिमीहरूकहाँ भेटघाटमा जानको निम्ति धेरै आग्रह गरेँ । तिनलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ आउन मन भएन । तापनि ठिक समयमा तिनी तिमीहरूकहाँ आउनेछन् ।
As concerning brother Apollos, I besought him much that he would come to you with the brethren; but it was not at all his wish to come at this time: but he will come when he can find a good opportunity.
13 सतर्क रहो; विश्वासमा दृढ बस; मानिसजस्तै बन र सामर्थी बन ।
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, be manful, be strong.
14 तिमीले जे गर्छौ, सबै प्रेममा गर ।
Let all your concerns be transacted in love.
15 स्तिफनासको घरानालाई तिमी जान्दछौ जो अखैयाका पहिलो विश्वासी हुन् । तिनीहरूले विश्वासीहरूको सेवाको निम्ति आफैँलाई समर्पित गरेका छन् । भाइहरू हो, म तिमीहरूलाई आग्रह गर्दछु कि
Now I exhort you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints: )
16 त्यस्ता मानिसहरू र हामीलाई काममा सहायता गर्ने अनि हामीसँग परिश्रम गर्नेहरूको अधीनमा रहो ।
wherefore submit yourselves to such, and to every one that worketh with us and laboureth.
17 स्तिफनास, फोर्टुनाटस र अखाइकसको आगमनमा म आनन्दित हुन्छु । तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको अनुपस्थितिलाई पुरा गरिदिए ।
I rejoice in the arrival of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; because what was lacking from you, they have supplied.
18 किनकि तिनीहरूले मेरो र तिमीहरूको आत्मालाई ताजा पारिदिएका छन् । त्यसैले गर्दा मानिसहरूको कदर गर ।
For they have refreshed my spirit and yours; respect therefore such men.
19 एसियामा भएका मण्डलीहरूले तिमीहरूलाई अभिवादन पठाएका छन् । अकिलास र प्रिस्काले र तिनीहरूको घरमा भएको मण्डलीले पनि तिमीहरूलाई प्रभुमा अभिवादन पठाएका छन् ।
The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church which is in their house.
20 सबै भाइहरूले अभिवादन पठाएका छन् । एकले अर्कालाई पवित्र चुम्बनले अभिवादन गर ।
All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.
21 म पावल, मेरो आफ्नै हातले यो पत्र लेख्छु ।
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand.
22 यदि कसैले प्रभुलाई प्रेम गर्दैन भने ऊ श्रापित होस् । हाम्रा प्रभु, आउनुहोस् ।
If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema, Maranatha.
23 हाम्रा प्रभु येशूको अनुग्रह तिमीहरूसँग रहोस् ।
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
24 ख्रीष्ट येशूमा तिमीहरू सबैलाई मेरो प्रेम छ ।
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. The first epistle to the Corinthians was written from Philippi by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timothy.
