१ पत्रुस 4
1 यसैकारण, जसरी ख्रीष्टले शरीरमा कष्ट भोग्नुभयो, तिमीहरूले पनि त्यस्तै उद्देश्य धारण गर । जसले शरीरमा कष्ट भोगेको छ उसले पाप गर्न छोडेको हुन्छ ।
Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
2 यो व्यक्तिले अब उसो मानवीय अभिलाषामा होइन, तर आफ्नो बाँकी जीवन परमेश्वरको इच्छाको निम्ति जिउँछ ।
Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
3 किनकि अन्यजातिले इच्छा गरेजस्तो कामुकता, कुवासना, मद्यपान, मोजमज्जा, पियक्कडपन, असभ्य भोजहरू अनि घृणित मूर्तिपूजाहरूमा धेरै समय खर्च भइसकेको छ ।
For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.
4 तिमीहरू यी कुरामा तिनीहरूसँग सहमत नभएको कारण तिनीहरू अचम्म मान्छन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको बारेमा खराब कुरा गर्छन् ।
Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.
5 तिनीहरूले जीवित र मरेकाहरूको न्याय गर्न तयार हुनुहुनेलाई लेखा दिनेछन् ।
But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 त्यसैले, मरिसकेकाहरूलाई यो वचन प्रचारिएको थियो । शरीरमा मानिसको रूपमा तिनीहरूको न्याय गरिएको भए तापनि आत्मामा तिनीहरू परमेश्वरअनुसार जिऊन् ।
That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
7 सबै कुराको अन्त्य आउँदै छ । त्यसैले, आफ्नो मन ठिक ठाउँमा लगाओ र तिमीहरूका प्रार्थनाको खातिर आफ्नो विचारमा सचेत रहो ।
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.
8 सबै कुराभन्दा बढी एक-अर्कालाई उत्कट प्रेम गर, किनकि प्रेमले एक-अर्काको दोष पत्ता लगाउँदैन ।
Above all, love one another deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
9 गनगन नगरी एक-अर्काको अतिथि सत्कार गर,
Show hospitality to one another without complaining.
10 जसरी तिमीहरू हरेकले वरदान पाएका छौ । परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सित्तैँका वरदानहरू उहाँको असल भण्डारेजस्तै एक-अर्काको सेवाको लागि प्रयोग गर ।
As good stewards of the manifold grace of God, each of you should use whatever gift he has received to serve one another.
11 यदि कोही बोल्छ भने उसले परमेश्वरको मुखबाट निस्केको कुरा बोलोस्; यदि कसैले सेवा गर्छ भने उसले परमेश्वरले दिनुहुने शक्तिमा गरोस्, ताकि सबै कुरामा ख्रीष्टद्वारा परमेश्वर महिमित हुनुभएको होस् । महिमा र शक्ति सदासर्वदा उहाँकै हुन् । आमेन । (aiōn g165)
If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूलाई जाँच गर्नको निम्ति कुनै अग्निमय परीक्षा आइपरेमा त्यसलाई अनौठो नसम्झ ।
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that has come upon you, as though something strange were happening to you.
13 तर जति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको दुःख भोग्छौ, त्यति रमाओ ताकि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट हुँदा तिमीहरू पनि आनन्द मनाउन सक्नेछौँ ।
But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.
14 तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको कारण अपमानित भयौ भने तिमीहरू धन्यका हौ, किनकि महिमाका आत्मा र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिमीहरूमाथि रहनुहुन्छ ।
If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
15 तर तिमीहरू कसैले पनि हत्यारा, चोर, खराबी गर्ने अथवा अर्काको कुरामा हात हाल्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा दुःख भोग्नु नपरोस् ।
Indeed, none of you should suffer as a murderer or thief or wrongdoer, or even as a meddler.
16 तरै पनि ख्रीष्टियान भएको कारणले कसैले पीडा भोग्छ भने उसले लाज नमानोस्, तर त्यही नाममा परमेश्वरको महिमा गरोस् ।
But if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but glorify God that you bear that name.
17 किनकि यो परमेश्वरको परिवारबाट न्याय सुरु हुने समय हो । अनि यदि न्याय हामीबाट सुरु हुन्छ भने, परमेश्वरको वचन नमान्नेको अवस्था कस्तो होला?
For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?
18 अनि “धर्मी जनको उद्धारचाहिँ उसको कठिनाइले हुन्छ भने, अधर्मी र पापीको अवस्था के होला?”
And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
19 त्यसैले परमेश्वरको इच्छामा दुःख भोग्नेहरूले असल काम गर्दै आफ्नो आत्मा सृष्टिकर्तालाई सुम्पून् ।
So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should entrust their souls to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
