१ पत्रुस 2
1 त्यसकारण सबै दुष्ट्याइँ, छल, पाखण्डीपन, डाहा र बदख्वाइँलाई टाढै राख ।
So put aside all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.
2 नवजात शिशुहरूले जस्तै शुद्ध आत्मिक दूधको तृष्णा गर ताकि तिमीहरू त्यसबाट मुक्तिमा बढ्न सक,
Like newborn babies, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow,
3 यदि प्रभु भला हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले चाखेका छौ भने,
if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
4 उहाँमा आओ, जो मानिसहरूद्वारा इन्कार गरिनुभएका जीवित पत्थर हुनुहुन्छ, तर त्यही पत्थर नै परमेश्वरबाट चुनिएको छ र उहाँका निम्ति बहुमूल्य पत्थर हुनुभएको छ ।
As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but chosen and precious in the sight of God,
5 तिमीहरू पनि येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वरको निम्ति ग्रहणयोग्य आत्मिक बलिदानहरू चढाउने पवित्र पुजारीहरू हुनको निम्ति आत्मिक भवन निर्माण गर्ने जीवित पत्थरहरूजस्तै हौ ।
you yourselves, like living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 धर्मशास्त्रले भन्दछ, “हेर म सियोनमा एउटा कुने-ढुङ्गो बसाल्नेछु, जुन मुख्य, चुनिएको र बहुमूल्य हुनेछ । जसले उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्छ, त्यो शर्ममा पर्नेछैन ।”
For it says in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and no one who believes in him will ever be put to shame.”
7 त्यसैले, तिमीहरू जसले विश्वास गर्छौ तिमीहरूको निम्ति आदर छ । तर, “त्यो ढुङ्गो जसलाई निर्माणकर्ताहरूले इन्कार गरे त्यो नै कुनाको शिर-ढुङ्गा भयो ।”
This precious value is for you who believe, but to those who are disobedient, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
8 र “एउटा ठक्कर लाग्ने ढुङ्गा र एउटा ठक्कर लाग्ने चट्टान ।” वचन उल्लङ्घन गरेको कारण तिनीहरू ठक्कर खान्छन् जसको निम्ति तिनीहरू नियुक्त गरिएका थिए ।
and, “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” By disobeying the word they stumble, which is what they were appointed to do.
9 तर तिमीहरू त चुनिएका वंश, राजकीय पुजारीहरू, पवित्र जाति, परमेश्वरका निजी प्रजा हौ । त्यसैले, तिमीहरूलाई अन्धकारबाट बोलाई उहाँको उदेकको ज्योतिमा ल्याउनुहुनेका आश्चर्यकर्महरूको घोषणा गर्न सक ।
But you are a chosen lineage, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 तिमीहरू एक समय परमेश्वरका थिएनौ, तर अब परमेश्वरका प्रजाहरू हौ । तिमीहरूले कृपा पाएका थिएनौ, अहिले परमेश्वरको कृपा पाएका छौ ।
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. Once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
11 हेर, तिमीहरूका आत्माको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्ने पापमय इच्छाबाट टाढा रहनको निम्ति परदेशीहरू र प्रवासीहरूलाई झैँ म तिमीहरूलाई बोलाउँछु ।
Beloved, I urge you as strangers and sojourners to abstain from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the soul,
12 अरू जातिहरूका बिचमा तिमीहरूको व्यवहार असल होस् ताकि तिमीहरूले दुष्ट काम गरेका छौ भनेर तिनीहरूले भने तापनि तिमीहरूका राम्रा कामहरू देखेर तिनीहरूले उहाँको आगमनमा परमेश्वरको प्रशंसा गरून् ।
keeping your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God on the day of his visitation.
13 प्रभुको खातिर सबै मानवीय अधिकारलाई स्वीकार गर चाहे ती सर्वोच्च राजा हुन्,
Therefore, be subject to every human institution for the sake of the Lord, whether to the king as supreme,
14 या शासकहरू जो नराम्रो काम गर्नेहरूलाई सजाय दिन र असल काम गर्नेहरूको प्रशंसा गर्न उत्साह दिन पठाइएका हुन् ।
or to governors as those who are sent by him to punish evildoers and to praise those who do good.
15 किनकि परमेश्वरको इच्छा यही हो कि असल काम गरेर तिमीहरूले मूर्ख मानिसहरूका अज्ञानतालाई चुप लगाउनुपर्छ ।
For it is God's will that you silence the ignorance of foolish people by doing good.
16 स्वतन्त्र मानिसहरूझैँ तिमीहरूको स्वतन्त्रता दुष्टतालाई ढाक्नको निम्ति प्रयोग नगर, तर परमेश्वरका दासहरूजस्तै बन ।
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do evil; live as servants of God.
17 सबै मानिसको आदर गर । भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर । परमेश्वरको भय मान । राजाको आदर गर ।
Give honor to all, love the brotherhood, fear God, and honor the king.
18 कमारा हो, सम्पूर्ण आदरसाथ आफ्नो मालिकको अधीनमा बस; असल र भला मालिकहरूसँग मात्र होइन, तर दुष्टहरूसँग पनि ।
Servants, submit to your masters with complete respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are cruel.
19 किनकि कोही व्यक्तिको विवेक परमेश्वरप्रति भएको कारण उसले असल काम गरे पनि कष्ट सहन्छ भने त्यो परमेश्वरमा प्रशंसनीय कुरो हो ।
For there is favor upon anyone who endures pain while suffering unjustly for the sake of conscience toward God.
20 यदि तिमीले पाप गरेर सहन्छौ भने त्यो कुन ठुलो कुरा भयो र? तर यदि तिमीले असल गरेर पनि सहन्छौ भने त्यो परमेश्वरमा प्रशंसनीय हुनेछ ।
What credit do you get if you endure when you sin and are beaten for it? But if you endure when you do good and suffer for it, this finds favor with God.
21 यसैको निम्ति तिमीहरू बोलाइएका थियौ, किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँका पाइला पछ्याओ भनेर ख्रीष्टले पनि दुःख भोग्नुभयो र तिमीहरूका निम्ति उदाहरण छोड्नुभयो ।
For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving an example so that you could follow in his footsteps.
22 उहाँले कुनै पाप गर्नुभएन, न उहाँका मुखमा कुनै छलको कुरो पाइयो ।
He committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth.
23 उहाँको अपमान हुँदा उहाँले त्यसको बदला लिनुभएन । उहाँले दुःख भोग्नुहुँदा पनि आफैँलाई उचित न्याय गर्नुहुनेकहाँ सुम्पिनुभयो ।
When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten but entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24 हामी पापको भागीदार नबनौँ र धार्मिकताको खातिर जिऔँ भनेर उहाँले हाम्रा सबै पाप आफ्नो शरीरमा बोकी क्रुसमा चढ्नुभयो । उहाँका चोटले तिमीहरू निको भएका छौ ।
He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to our sins and live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
25 तिमीहरू सबै हराएका भेडाझैँ भौतारिँदै थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू आत्माका गोठालो र संरक्षककहाँ फर्किएका छौ ।
For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
