१ पत्रुस 2

1 त्यसकारण सबै दुष्‍ट्याइँ, छल, पाखण्डीपन, डाहा र बदख्वाइँलाई टाढै राख ।

Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,

2 नवजात शिशुहरूले जस्तै शुद्ध आत्मिक दूधको तृष्णा गर ताकि तिमीहरू त्यसबाट मुक्तिमा बढ्न सक,

As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

3 यदि प्रभु भला हुनुहुन्छ भनी तिमीहरूले चाखेका छौ भने,

If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

4 उहाँमा आओ, जो मानिसहरूद्वारा इन्कार गरिनुभएका जीवित पत्थर हुनुहुन्छ, तर त्यही पत्थर नै परमेश्‍वरबाट चुनिएको छ र उहाँका निम्ति बहुमूल्य पत्थर हुनुभएको छ ।

To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,

5 तिमीहरू पनि येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति ग्रहणयोग्य आत्मिक बलिदानहरू चढाउने पवित्र पुजारीहरू हुनको निम्ति आत्मिक भवन निर्माण गर्ने जीवित पत्थरहरूजस्तै हौ ।

Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by 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 ।”

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7 त्यसैले, तिमीहरू जसले विश्‍वास गर्छौ तिमीहरूको निम्ति आदर छ । तर, “त्यो ढुङ्गो जसलाई निर्माणकर्ताहरूले इन्कार गरे त्यो नै कुनाको शिर-ढुङ्गा भयो ।”

To you therefore who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

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, [even to them] who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.

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 ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath 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 ।

Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

11 हेर, तिमीहरूका आत्माको विरुद्धमा लडाइँ गर्ने पापमय इच्छाबाट टाढा रहनको निम्ति परदेशीहरू र प्रवासीहरूलाई झैँ म तिमीहरूलाई बोलाउँछु ।

Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which 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 ।

Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 प्रभुको खातिर सबै मानवीय अधिकारलाई स्वीकार गर चाहे ती सर्वोच्‍च राजा हुन्,

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: 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 to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.

15 किनकि परमेश्‍वरको इच्छा यही हो कि असल काम गरेर तिमीहरूले मूर्ख मानिसहरूका अज्ञानतालाई चुप लगाउनुपर्छ ।

For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16 स्वतन्त्र मानिसहरूझैँ तिमीहरूको स्वतन्‍त्रता दुष्‍टतालाई ढाक्‍नको निम्ति प्रयोग नगर, तर परमेश्‍वरका दासहरूजस्तै बन ।

As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

17 सबै मानिसको आदर गर । भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर । परमेश्‍वरको भय मान । राजाको आदर गर ।

Honor all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

18 कमारा हो, सम्पूर्ण आदरसाथ आफ्नो मालिकको अधीनमा बस; असल र भला मालिकहरूसँग मात्र होइन, तर दुष्‍टहरूसँग पनि ।

Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

19 किनकि कोही व्यक्‍तिको विवेक परमेश्‍वरप्रति भएको कारण उसले असल काम गरे पनि कष्‍ट सहन्छ भने त्यो परमेश्‍वरमा प्रशंसनीय कुरो हो ।

For this [is] thank-worthy, if a man for conscience towards God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.

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 ।

For what glory [is it], if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

21 यसैको निम्ति तिमीहरू बोलाइएका थियौ, किनकि तिमीहरूले उहाँका पाइला पछ्याओ भनेर ख्रीष्‍टले पनि दुःख भोग्‍नुभयो र तिमीहरूका निम्ति उदाहरण छोड्नुभयो ।

For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22 उहाँले कुनै पाप गर्नुभएन, न उहाँका मुखमा कुनै छलको कुरो पाइयो ।

Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23 उहाँको अपमान हुँदा उहाँले त्यसको बदला लिनुभएन । उहाँले दुःख भोग्‍नुहुँदा पनि आफैँलाई उचित न्याय गर्नुहुनेकहाँ सुम्पिनुभयो ।

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:

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 ।

Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

25 तिमीहरू सबै हराएका भेडाझैँ भौतारिँदै थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू आत्माका गोठालो र संरक्षककहाँ फर्किएका छौ ।

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
