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 ।
Forasmuch then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin;
2 यो व्यक्तिले अब उसो मानवीय अभिलाषामा होइन, तर आफ्नो बाँकी जीवन परमेश्वरको इच्छाको निम्ति जिउँछ ।
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to 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 the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, 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 strange that all of you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
5 तिनीहरूले जीवित र मरेकाहरूको न्याय गर्न तयार हुनुहुनेलाई लेखा दिनेछन् ।
Who shall give account (logos) to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
6 त्यसैले, मरिसकेकाहरूलाई यो वचन प्रचारिएको थियो । शरीरमा मानिसको रूपमा तिनीहरूको न्याय गरिएको भए तापनि आत्मामा तिनीहरू परमेश्वरअनुसार जिऊन् ।
For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. (pneuma)
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 at hand: be all of you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
8 सबै कुराभन्दा बढी एक-अर्कालाई उत्कट प्रेम गर, किनकि प्रेमले एक-अर्काको दोष पत्ता लगाउँदैन ।
And above all things have fervent love (agape) among yourselves: for love (agape) shall cover the multitude of sins.
9 गनगन नगरी एक-अर्काको अतिथि सत्कार गर,
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
10 जसरी तिमीहरू हरेकले वरदान पाएका छौ । परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सित्तैँका वरदानहरू उहाँको असल भण्डारेजस्तै एक-अर्काको सेवाको लागि प्रयोग गर ।
As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, 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 him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God gives: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूलाई जाँच गर्नको निम्ति कुनै अग्निमय परीक्षा आइपरेमा त्यसलाई अनौठो नसम्झ ।
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 तर जति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको दुःख भोग्छौ, त्यति रमाओ ताकि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट हुँदा तिमीहरू पनि आनन्द मनाउन सक्नेछौँ ।
But rejoice, inasmuch as all of you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, all of you may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको कारण अपमानित भयौ भने तिमीहरू धन्यका हौ, किनकि महिमाका आत्मा र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिमीहरूमाथि रहनुहुन्छ ।
If all of you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are all of you; for the spirit (pneuma) of glory and of God rests upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 तर तिमीहरू कसैले पनि हत्यारा, चोर, खराबी गर्ने अथवा अर्काको कुरामा हात हाल्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा दुःख भोग्नु नपरोस् ।
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16 तरै पनि ख्रीष्टियान भएको कारणले कसैले पीडा भोग्छ भने उसले लाज नमानोस्, तर त्यही नाममा परमेश्वरको महिमा गरोस् ।
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 किनकि यो परमेश्वरको परिवारबाट न्याय सुरु हुने समय हो । अनि यदि न्याय हामीबाट सुरु हुन्छ भने, परमेश्वरको वचन नमान्नेको अवस्था कस्तो होला?
For the time has come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that 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 scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 त्यसैले परमेश्वरको इच्छामा दुःख भोग्नेहरूले असल काम गर्दै आफ्नो आत्मा सृष्टिकर्तालाई सुम्पून् ।
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
