१ कोरिन्थी 7

1 अब तिमीहरूले लेखेका यी कुराहरूका विषयमा भन्‍नुपर्दा पुरुषको लागि स्‍त्रीलाई नछुनु नै असल हो ।

But concerning those things about which you wrote to me: That it is good for a man not to receive a wife:

2 तर धेरै अनैतिक कामहरूका अनेक परीक्षाहरूको कारणले गर्दा हरेक मानिसको आफ्नै पत्‍नी होस् र हरेक स्‍त्रीको आफ्नै पति होस् ।

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

3 पतिले पत्‍नीलाई उसको वैवाहिक हक देओस् र त्यसरी नै पत्‍नीले पनि आफ्नो पतिलाई ।

Let the husband give to the wife that which is due, and likewise the wife also to the husband.

4 आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पत्‍नीको अधिकार हुँदैन; उसको पतिको हुन्छ । र यसरी नै आफ्नो शरीरमाथि पतिको आफ्नो अधिकार हुँदैन, तर पत्‍नीको भने हुन्छ ।

The wife has not the authority over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband has not the authority over his own body, but the wife.

5 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 ।

Do not defraud one another, unless it may be with consent for a time, that you may give attention to prayer, and again come together, in order that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency.

6 म तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू आज्ञाको रूपमा होइन, तर अनुमतिको रूपमा भन्दछु ।

But I speak this according to knowledge, not according to commandment.

7 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 ।

But I wish that all men were even as myself; but each one has his own gift from God, some one, and some another.

8 अविवाहित र विधवाहरूलाई म भन्दछु कि तिनीहरू मजस्तै अविवाहित रहन्छन् भने यो तिनीहरूका लागि असल हुन्छ ।

But I speak to the unmarried and the widows, that it is good for them that they may remain even as I:

9 तर यदि तिनीहरूले आफूलाई वशमा राख्‍न सक्दैनन् भने तिनीहरूले विवाह गरून् । कामुकतामा जल्नुभन्दा तिनीहरूका निम्ति विवाह गर्नु असल हो ।

but if they do not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

10 अब विवाहितका निम्ति म यो आज्ञा दिन्छु । मैले होइन, तर प्रभुले दिनुहुन्छः

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

11 तर यदि तिनी आफ्‍नो पतिबाट अलग हुन्छिन भने, तिनी विवाह नगरी बसून् कि त उनीसँग मिलाप गर्नुपर्दछ । अनी “पतिले आफ्नी पत्‍नीसँग सम्बन्ध विच्‍छेद गर्नुहुदैन ।”

(but if indeed she may depart, let her remain unmarried, or let her be reconciled unto her husband); and that the husband shall not send away the wife.

12 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 ।

But I say to the rest, not the Lord, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

13 यदि पत्‍नीसँग अविश्‍वासी पति छ भने र ऊ तिनीसँग सन्तुष्‍ट छ भने, तिनले ऊसँग सम्बन्ध विच्छेद नगरुन् ।

And if any wife has an unbelieving husband, and he is willing to live with her, let her not send away her husband.

14 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 ।

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified by the brother. Since then your children are unclean; but now they are holy.

15 तर यदि अविश्‍वासी जीवन साथी छुट्टिन्छ भने, त्यसलाई जान देऊ । यस्तो अवस्थामा भाइ वा बहिनी तिनीहरूका प्रतिज्ञामा बाँधिनेछैन । परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई शान्तिमा बस्‍न बोलाउनुभएको छ ।

But if the unbeliever departs, let him or her depart; the brother or the sister has not been enslaved in such things. God has called you in peace.

16 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?

For what do you know, O wife, if you shall save your husband? And what do you know, O husband, if you shall save your wife?

17 प्रभुले खटाएबमोजिम र परमेश्‍वरले बोलाएबमोजिम हरेकले आफ्नो जीवन जिओस्, । सबै मण्डलीहरूका निम्ति मेरो नियम यही नै हो ।

If not as the Lord has imparted to each one, and as God has called each one, so let him or her walk. And thus I command in all the churches.

18 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 ।

Is one called having been circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised: has one been called in uncircumcision? let him not get circumcised.

19 न खतना केही हो न त बेखतना नै । प्रमुख कुरा परमेश्‍वरका आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्नु नै हो ।

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

20 परमेश्‍वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा कुनै व्यक्‍ति जस्तो अवस्थामा थियो, हरेक त्यही बोलावटमा रहोस् ।

Let each one abide in the same calling in which he is called.

21 के परमेश्‍वरले बोलाउनुहुँदा तिमीहरू कमारा थियौ? यसको बारेमा तिमी फिक्री नगर । तर तिमीहरू स्वतन्‍त्र हुन सक्छौ भने यसको फाइदा उठाओ ।

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.

22 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 ।

For the one having been called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman: likewise the one having been called, while free, is the slave of Christ.

23 तिमीहरू दाम तिरी किनिएका हौ, त्यसैले मानिसहरूको दास नबन ।

You have been bought with a price; be not the slaves of men.

24 भाइहरू हो, हामीलाई विश्‍वास गर्न बोलावट हुँदा हामी जस्तो अवस्थामा थियौँ, हामी त्यही अवस्थमा रहौँ ।

Let each one remain with the Lord, in the same calling in which he was called, brethren.

25 अब कहिल्यै विवाह नगरेकाहरूको सम्बन्धमा मसँग प्रभुबाट केही पनि आज्ञा छैन । तर प्रभुको कृपाद्वारा विश्‍वासयोग्य ठहरिएको व्यक्‍तिको रूपमा म मेरो राय दिन्छु ।

But concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: but I give knowledge, as one having obtained mercy from the Lord to be faithful.

26 त्यसकारण, आउन लागेको सङ्कष्‍टको कारणले गर्दा जुन व्यक्‍ति जस्तो अवस्थामा छ, त्यही अवस्थामा बस्‍नु असल हुन्छ ।

But I consider this to be good on account of the present distress, that it is good for a man so to be.

27 के तिमी कुनै स्‍त्रीसँग वैवाहिक बन्धनमा बाँधिएका छौ? तिनीबाट स्वतन्‍त्र हुन नखोज । के तिमी अविवाहित छौ? पत्‍नीको खोजी नगर ।

Have you been given to a wife? do not seek separation; have you been separated from a wife? do not seek a wife.

28 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 ।

But if, indeed you may marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin may marry, she has not sinned; but such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you.

29 तर भाइहरू हो, म यो भन्छु कि समय छोटो छ । अब उप्रान्त पत्‍नी हुनेहरू पत्‍नी नभएजस्तो गरी जिऊन् ।

But I say this, brethren; that the time is at hand, that moreover indeed those having wives may be as those not having;

30 रुनेहरू नरोएको जस्तै गरी बसून्; खुसी हुनेहरू खुसी नभएझैँ गरी बसून र किनमेल गर्नेहरूले तिनीहरूसँग केही नभएझैँ गरून् ।

and those weeping, as those not weeping; and those rejoicing, as those not rejoicing; and those buying, as those not possessing;

31 अनि संसारसित व्यवहार गर्नेहरूले यससँग पूर्ण रूपमा नभएझैँ व्यवहार गरून्, किनकी यो संसारको प्रणालीको अन्त्य हुँदै छ र यो बितेर जाँदै छ ।

and those using the world, as those not using it thoroughly: for the fashion of this world is passing away.

32 तिमीहरू निस्फिक्री होओ भन्‍ने म चाहन्छु । अविवाहित पुरुषले प्रभुलाई कसरी खुसी पार्ने भनी उहाँका कुराहरूका बारेमा चिन्ता गर्दछ ।

I wish you to be free from solicitude. The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, in order that he may please the Lord:

33 तर विवाहित पुरुषले आफ्नी पत्‍नीलाई कसरी प्रसन्‍न पार्ने भनी संसारका कुराहरूमा फिक्री गर्दछ ।

but the one having married cares for the things of the world, in order that he may please his wife.

34 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 ।

A wife and a virgin truly also differ: the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but she having married cares for the things of the world, that she may please her husband.

35 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 ।

I speak this for the profit of you yourselves; not that I may cast a burden upon you, but for that which is pleasing and acceptable to the Lord without perturbation.

36 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 ।

But if any one considers that he is acting indiscreetly towards his virgin, if she may be marriageable, and thus it ought so to be, let him do what he wishes; he does not sin; let them marry.

37 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 ।

But whosoever stands firm in his heart, having no necessity, and has the right according to his own will, and has determined this in his heart, to keep his virgin, will do well.

38 त्यसैले, जसले आफ्नी कन्यासँग विवाह गर्दछ उसले असल नै गर्दछ, र जसले विवाह नगर्ने इच्छा गर्दछ भने उसले अझ बढी राम्रो गर्दछ ।

So indeed he that marries his own virgin does well; and he that marries her not will do better.

39 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 ।

A wife has been given so long a time as her husband may live; but if her husband may die, she is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

40 तापनि मेरो विचारमा यदि तिनी त्यस्तै अवस्थामा बस्छिन् भने तिनी अझ धेरै प्रसन्‍न रहन्छिन् । अनि मसँग पनि परमेश्‍वरको आत्मा छ भनी म विचार गर्दछु ।

But she is happier if she may so remain, according to my opinion: but I realize that I truly have the Spirit of God.
