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 ।
Since, then, Christ has suffered in the flesh, you also must arm yourselves with a determination to do the same--because he who has suffered in the flesh has done with sin--
2 यो व्यक्तिले अब उसो मानवीय अभिलाषामा होइन, तर आफ्नो बाँकी जीवन परमेश्वरको इच्छाको निम्ति जिउँछ ।
that in future you may spend the rest of your earthly lives, governed not by human passions, but by 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 given time enough in the past to the doing of the things which the Gentiles delight in-- pursuing, as you did, a course of habitual licence, debauchery, hard drinking, noisy revelry, drunkenness and unholy image-worship.
4 तिमीहरू यी कुरामा तिनीहरूसँग सहमत नभएको कारण तिनीहरू अचम्म मान्छन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूको बारेमा खराब कुरा गर्छन् ।
At this they are astonished--that you do not run into the same excess of profligacy as they do; and they speak abusively of you.
5 तिनीहरूले जीवित र मरेकाहरूको न्याय गर्न तयार हुनुहुनेलाई लेखा दिनेछन् ।
But they will have to give account to Him who stands ready to pronounce judgement on 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 it is with this end in view that the Good News was proclaimed even to some who were dead, that they may be judged, as all mankind will be judged, in the body, but may be living a godly life in the spirit.
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 now close at hand: therefore be sober-minded and temperate, so that you may give yourselves to prayer.
8 सबै कुराभन्दा बढी एक-अर्कालाई उत्कट प्रेम गर, किनकि प्रेमले एक-अर्काको दोष पत्ता लगाउँदैन ।
Above all continue to love one another fervently, for love throws a veil over a multitude of faults.
9 गनगन नगरी एक-अर्काको अतिथि सत्कार गर,
Extend ungrudging hospitality towards one another.
10 जसरी तिमीहरू हरेकले वरदान पाएका छौ । परमेश्वरले दिनुभएका सित्तैँका वरदानहरू उहाँको असल भण्डारेजस्तै एक-अर्काको सेवाको लागि प्रयोग गर ।
Whatever be the gifts which each has received, you must use them for one another's benefit, as good stewards of God's many-sided kindness.
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 one preaches, let it be as uttering God's truth; if any one renders a service to others, let it be in the strength which God supplies; so that in everything glory may be given to God in the name of Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the might to the Ages of the Ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 प्रिय हो, तिमीहरूलाई जाँच गर्नको निम्ति कुनै अग्निमय परीक्षा आइपरेमा त्यसलाई अनौठो नसम्झ ।
Dear friends, do not be surprised at finding that that scorching flame of persecution is raging among you to put you to the test--as though some surprising thing were accidentally happening to you.
13 तर जति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको दुःख भोग्छौ, त्यति रमाओ ताकि उहाँको महिमा प्रकट हुँदा तिमीहरू पनि आनन्द मनाउन सक्नेछौँ ।
On the contrary, in the degree that you share in the sufferings of the Christ, rejoice, so that at the unveiling of His glory you may also rejoice with triumphant gladness.
14 तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टको नाउँको कारण अपमानित भयौ भने तिमीहरू धन्यका हौ, किनकि महिमाका आत्मा र परमेश्वरका आत्मा तिमीहरूमाथि रहनुहुन्छ ।
You are to be envied, if you are being reproached for bearing the name of Christ; for in that case the Spirit of glory-- even the Spirit of God--is resting upon you.
15 तर तिमीहरू कसैले पनि हत्यारा, चोर, खराबी गर्ने अथवा अर्काको कुरामा हात हाल्ने व्यक्तिको रूपमा दुःख भोग्नु नपरोस् ।
But let not one of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer, or as a spy upon other people's business.
16 तरै पनि ख्रीष्टियान भएको कारणले कसैले पीडा भोग्छ भने उसले लाज नमानोस्, तर त्यही नाममा परमेश्वरको महिमा गरोस् ।
If, however, any one suffers because he is a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God for being permitted to 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 the time has come for judgement to begin, and to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the end of those who reject God's Good News?
18 अनि “धर्मी जनको उद्धारचाहिँ उसको कठिनाइले हुन्छ भने, अधर्मी र पापीको अवस्था के होला?”
And if it is difficult even for a righteous man to be saved, what will become of irreligious men and sinners?
19 त्यसैले परमेश्वरको इच्छामा दुःख भोग्नेहरूले असल काम गर्दै आफ्नो आत्मा सृष्टिकर्तालाई सुम्पून् ।
Therefore also, let those who are suffering in accordance with the will of God entrust their souls in well-doing to a faithful Creator.
