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 ।
CHRIST then having suffered for us in the flesh, be ye also in mind armed for the same conflict: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sinning;
2 यो व्यक्तिले अब उसो मानवीय अभिलाषामा होइन, तर आफ्नो बाँकी जीवन परमेश्वरको इच्छाको निम्ति जिउँछ ।
that he might not spend the remaining space of life in the flesh after human passions, but the divine will.
3 किनकि अन्यजातिले इच्छा गरेजस्तो कामुकता, कुवासना, मद्यपान, मोजमज्जा, पियक्कडपन, असभ्य भोजहरू अनि घृणित मूर्तिपूजाहरूमा धेरै समय खर्च भइसकेको छ ।
For the time past of life is enough for us to have wrought the will of the heathen, when we walked in all impurities, lewd appetites, excess of wine, revels, drinking-bouts, and abominable idolatries;
4 तिमीहरू यी कुरामा तिनीहरूसँग सहमत नभएको कारण तिनीहरू अचम्म मान्छन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको बारेमा खराब कुरा गर्छन् ।
wherein they think it a strange thing, that you are not running with them into the same gulph of profligacy, spreading every scandalous report of you:
5 तिनीहरूले जीवित र मरेकाहरूको न्याय गर्न तयार हुनुहुनेलाई लेखा दिनेछन् ।
who shall give an account to him, who holds himself 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 ।
For to this end was the gospel preached to those that are dead, that they might be judged indeed in the flesh according to the will of men, but live in spirit according to the will of God.
7 सबै कुराको अन्त्य आउँदै छ । त्यसैले, आफ्नो मन ठिक ठाउँमा लगाओ र तिमीहरूका प्रार्थनाको खातिर आफ्नो विचारमा सचेत रहो ।
But the end of all things is near: be ye therefore sober-minded, and vigilant in prayers.
8 सबै कुराभन्दा बढी एक-अर्कालाई उत्कट प्रेम गर, किनकि प्रेमले एक-अर्काको दोष पत्ता लगाउँदैन ।
But above all things have fervent love towards each other: for love will conceal a multitude of faults.
9 गनगन नगरी एक-अर्काको अतिथि सत्कार गर,
Exercise hospitality one towards another without grudgings.
10 जसरी तिमीहरू हरेकले वरदान पाएका छौ । परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सित्तैँका वरदानहरू उहाँको असल भण्डारेजस्तै एक-अर्काको सेवाको लागि प्रयोग गर ।
Let every one, according as he hath received a gift, minister it to others, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
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 any man speak, let it be agreeably to the oracles of God; if any man act as a deacon, let it be from the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूलाई जाँच गर्नको निम्ति कुनै अग्निमय परीक्षा आइपरेमा त्यसलाई अनौठो नसम्झ ।
Beloved, be not amazed at the fiery trial among you which is to bring you to the test, as though something strange happened to you;
13 तर जति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको दुःख भोग्छौ, त्यति रमाओ ताकि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट हुँदा तिमीहरू पनि आनन्द मनाउन सक्नेछौँ ।
but as ye share in the sufferings of Christ rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory also ye may hail him with exultations.
14 तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको कारण अपमानित भयौ भने तिमीहरू धन्यका हौ, किनकि महिमाका आत्मा र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिमीहरूमाथि रहनुहुन्छ ।
If ye suffer reproach for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: by them indeed he is blasphemed, but by you he is glorified.
15 तर तिमीहरू कसैले पनि हत्यारा, चोर, खराबी गर्ने अथवा अर्काको कुरामा हात हाल्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा दुःख भोग्नु नपरोस् ।
Let no one of you then suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or a meddler in other persons’ business.
16 तरै पनि ख्रीष्टियान भएको कारणले कसैले पीडा भोग्छ भने उसले लाज नमानोस्, तर त्यही नाममा परमेश्वरको महिमा गरोस् ।
But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him give glory to God on this very account.
17 किनकि यो परमेश्वरको परिवारबाट न्याय सुरु हुने समय हो । अनि यदि न्याय हामीबाट सुरु हुन्छ भने, परमेश्वरको वचन नमान्नेको अवस्था कस्तो होला?
For now is the time when judgment is commencing at the house of God; and if it begin with us, what will be the end of those who obey not the gospel of God?
18 अनि “धर्मी जनको उद्धारचाहिँ उसको कठिनाइले हुन्छ भने, अधर्मी र पापीको अवस्था के होला?”
And if the righteous man is hardly saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 त्यसैले परमेश्वरको इच्छामा दुःख भोग्नेहरूले असल काम गर्दै आफ्नो आत्मा सृष्टिकर्तालाई सुम्पून् ।
Wherefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to him in well-doing as to the faithful Creator.
