१ थेसलोनिकी 2
1 भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू आफैलाई थाहा छ कि तिमीहरूमा हाम्रो आगमन बेकम्मा थिएन,
For you yourselves know, brothers, that our visit to you was not in vain.
2 तर तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ, हामीले पहिला नै कष्ट भोग्यौँ र फिलिप्पिमा हामीलाई निर्लज्जपूर्वक व्यवहार गरियो । हामी ठुलो विवादको बिचमा पनि तिमीहरूसँग परमेश्वरको सुसमाचार बताउन परमेश्वरमा साहसी भयौँ ।
On the contrary, even though we had previously suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the face of strong opposition.
3 किनभने हाम्रो उत्साह गलत कुराबाट होइन न त अशुद्ध, न छलबाट नै आएको हो,
For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or with deceit,
4 तर जसरी परमेश्वरले हामीहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुम्पिएको व्यक्तिको रूपमा स्वीकृति दिनुभएको छ, त्यसैले हामी मानिसलाई होइन तर हाम्रो हृदय जाँच्नुहुने परमेश्वरलाई खुसी पार्नलाई बोल्छौँ ।
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who examines our hearts.
5 तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ र परमेश्वर पनि साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ कि हामीले कुनै पनि बेला चाप्लुसी गरेनौँ, न त लोभको निम्ति बहाना नै बनायौँ,
God is our witness that we never came with words of flattery or with a pretext for greed, as you well know.
6 न त हामीले मानिसहरूबाट महिमा खोज्यौँ, न त तिमीहरूबाट या अरूहरूबाट नै, जब कि हामीले ख्रीष्टको प्रेरितहरूको रूपमा विशेष सुविधाहरूको दाबी गर्न सक्थ्यौँ ।
Nor did we seek glory from men (neither from you nor from others), though as Christ's apostles we could have asserted our authority.
7 यसको सट्टा हामीहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा एउटा आमाले आफ्ना बाल बच्चालाई सान्त्वना दिएजस्तै भद्र भयौँ ।
Instead, we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother caring for her children.
8 यसरी तिमीहरूप्रति हाम्रो गहिरो प्रेम थियो, हामी तिमीहरूसँग परमेश्वरको सुसमाचार बाँड्न मात्र होइन, तर हाम्रो जीवन बाँड्न पनि खुसी थियौँ किनभने तिमीहरू हाम्रो निम्ति अति प्रिय भएका छौ ।
We had such strong affection for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become dear to us.
9 किनभने भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई हाम्रो परिश्रम र काम याद छ, कि हामीले तिमीहरूलाई परमेश्वरको सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्दै हामी तिमीहरू कसैलाई बोझ नबनौँ भनेर हामीले दिनरात काम गर्यौँ ।
For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship. Working night and day so as not to be a burden on any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 हामीले तिमीहरू विश्वास गर्नेहरूसित कति पवित्रता, धार्मिकता र कपटरहित व्यवहार गर्यौँ भन्ने कुराको साक्षी तिमीहरू छौ र परमेश्वर पनि हुनुहुन्छ,
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how devoutly, righteously, and blamelessly we conducted ourselves among you who believe.
11 तिमीहरूलाई पनि थाहा छ, कि हामीले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई कसरी एउटा बुबाले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई गरे झैँ तिमीहरूलाई उत्साह, सान्त्वना दियौँ र गवाही दियौँ,
As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father deals with his own children, exhorting you, encouraging you,
12 कि तिमीहरू परमेश्वरको योग्यको भएर हिँड्न सक जसले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको राज्य र महिमामा बोलाउनुहुन्छ ।
and testifying that you should walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.
13 यही कारणको निम्ति हामी परमेश्वरलाई निरन्तर धन्यवाद दिन्छौँ । किनभने तिमीहरूले जब हामीबाट परमेश्वरको वचन, सन्देशको वचन पायौ तिमीहरूले मानिसको वचनको रूपमा मात्र ग्रहण गरेनौ, तर साँच्चै परमेश्वरको वचनको रूपमा नै ग्रहण गर्यौ
We also give thanks to God without ceasing because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is at work in you who believe.
14 किनभने भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू ख्रीष्ट येशूमा भएका यहूदियाका मण्डलीबिच तिमीहरू परमेश्वरको मण्डलीको नक्कल गर्नेहरू भएका छौ किनभने तिनीहरूले यहूदीहरूबाट सतावट पाएजस्तै तिमीहरू पनि आफ्नै मानिसहरूबाट सताइएका छौ ।
For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, because you suffered the same things from your own countrymen that they did from the Jews,
15 जसले प्रभु येशू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मारे र हामीलाई पनि धपाए, जसले परमेश्वरलाई खुसी पार्दैनन, तर सबै मानिसहरूप्रति शत्रुता राख्छन् ।
who killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and who also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to all men
16 तिनीहरू सदैव तिनीहरूका पापहरूबाट भरिन हामीहरूलाई गैरयहूदीहरूले उद्धार पाऊन् भनेर बोल्न दिँदैनन् । तिनीहरूमाथि क्रोध चरम रूपमा आएको छ ।
by hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they can be saved. In this way they are always filling up the measure of their sins, but wrath has come upon them at last.
17 भाइहरू हो, हामीहरू छोटो समयको निम्ति हृदयमा होइन, तर उपस्थितिमा छुट्ट्याइएका थियौँ र हामीले तिमीहरूलाई भेट गर्नलाई सक्दो तीव्र इच्छा गर्यौँ ।
As for us, brothers, when we were bereaved of you for a brief hour (being physically absent, but with you in our hearts), we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face.
18 किनभने हामी तिमीहरूकहाँ आउन चाहन्थ्यौँ । म पावलले बारम्बार कोसिस गरेँ, तर शैतानले हामीलाई बाधा दियो ।
Therefore we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, tried to do so again and again—but Satan hindered us.
19 किनभने हाम्रा प्रभु येशूको आगमनमा उहाँको सामु हाम्रो भविष्यको निम्ति दृढ आनन्द वा महिमाको मुकुट अरूहरू जति नै तिमीहरू नै होइनौ र?
For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?
20 किनभने तिमीहरू हाम्रो महिमा र आनन्द हौ ।
Yes, you are our glory and joy!
