१ थेसलोनिकी 2
1 भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरू आफैलाई थाहा छ कि तिमीहरूमा हाम्रो आगमन बेकम्मा थिएन,
My fellow believers, you know that our time with you was very worthwhile/effective [LIT].
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 ।
Although [people] in Philippi [city] previously mistreated us [(exc)] and insulted us, as you know, our God caused us to be courageous. As a result, we told you the good message [that originates/comes from] God, even though some [people in your city] also strongly (opposed [us/tried to prevent us from telling God’s message]).
3 किनभने हाम्रो उत्साह गलत कुराबाट होइन न त अशुद्ध, न छलबाट नै आएको हो,
When we exhorted/urged (OR, tried to convince) [you to obey God’s message], we did not tell you an untrue message. Instead, we told you a true message. We do not [want to get something for ourselves] by immoral means. We do not try to deceive [you or other people].
4 तर जसरी परमेश्वरले हामीहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुम्पिएको व्यक्तिको रूपमा स्वीकृति दिनुभएको छ, त्यसैले हामी मानिसलाई होइन तर हाम्रो हृदय जाँच्नुहुने परमेश्वरलाई खुसी पार्नलाई बोल्छौँ ।
On the contrary, we tell God’s message because he trusted us to do that, because he examined us and considered us [to be acceptable to tell people] the message about Christ. As we teach people, we do not say what they like to hear. Instead, [we say what] God [wants us to say, because] he examines everything that we think and what we desire.
5 तिमीहरूलाई थाहा छ र परमेश्वर पनि साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ कि हामीले कुनै पनि बेला चाप्लुसी गरेनौँ, न त लोभको निम्ति बहाना नै बनायौँ,
We never (flattered you/said nice things about you insincerely), as you know. We were never greedy, so we never needed to use words to (hide greediness [from you/cause you to think that we were not greedy]). God knows that this is true!
6 न त हामीले मानिसहरूबाट महिमा खोज्यौँ, न त तिमीहरूबाट या अरूहरूबाट नै, जब कि हामीले ख्रीष्टको प्रेरितहरूको रूपमा विशेष सुविधाहरूको दाबी गर्न सक्थ्यौँ ।
We never tried to get people [to honor us],
7 यसको सट्टा हामीहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा एउटा आमाले आफ्ना बाल बच्चालाई सान्त्वना दिएजस्तै भद्र भयौँ ।
although we could have demanded [that you should honor/respect us], because we are apostles [who represent] (OR, [speak for]) Christ. On the contrary, we were gentle when we were among you, as a mother [gently] takes care of her own children [SIM].
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 ।
So, because we love you, we were delighted to personally tell you the good message that God [gave us]. But also we were delighted to lovingly do all that we could do to help you [SYN] because (you had become very dear to us/we had begun to love you very much).
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 ।
My fellow believers, you remember that we worked very hard [DOU] [in order to] ([support ourselves/earn money to buy what we needed]) [while we were with you]. We worked [during the] day and [also at] night in order that we would not have to ask any one of you to give us what we needed, [while] we proclaimed to you the good message that God [gave us].
10 हामीले तिमीहरू विश्वास गर्नेहरूसित कति पवित्रता, धार्मिकता र कपटरहित व्यवहार गर्यौँ भन्ने कुराको साक्षी तिमीहरू छौ र परमेश्वर पनि हुनुहुन्छ,
You know that it is true, and God knows that it is true, that we conducted our lives in a very pure, right, and faultless [DOU] manner toward you believers.
11 तिमीहरूलाई पनि थाहा छ, कि हामीले तिमीहरू हरेकलाई कसरी एउटा बुबाले आफ्ना छोराछोरीलाई गरे झैँ तिमीहरूलाई उत्साह, सान्त्वना दियौँ र गवाही दियौँ,
You know also that [we lovingly behaved/acted toward] each one of you, just like a father [lovingly behaves/acts toward] his own children [SIM].
12 कि तिमीहरू परमेश्वरको योग्यको भएर हिँड्न सक जसले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँको राज्य र महिमामा बोलाउनुहुन्छ ।
[Specifically, we] kept strongly exhorting/urging and encouraging you that you conduct your lives in the way that God’s people should, [because] he has invited you to become his people over whom he will rule in a wonderful way [HEN].
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 continually thank God because when you heard the message [that] we told to you, you accepted it as the true message, the good message that God [gave to us]. We did not invent it. [We also thank God] that he is changing your lives because you trust this message [PRS].
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 ।
My fellow believers, we [know that you sincerely believed the message from God], because the manner in which you acted was just like the manner in which [the congregations] in Judea acted. They also [worship] God, [and they] ([have a close relationship with/are united to]) Christ Jesus. Specifically, you endured it [when] your own countrymen [mistreated you because you believe the message from God], in the same manner that those [Jewish believers in Judea] endured it [when] the Jews [who do not believe in Christ mistreated them].
15 जसले प्रभु येशू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मारे र हामीलाई पनि धपाए, जसले परमेश्वरलाई खुसी पार्दैनन, तर सबै मानिसहरूप्रति शत्रुता राख्छन् ।
[Unbelieving Jews are] the ones whom God considers guilty [for] killing the Lord Jesus, as well as [for killing] many prophets. Other unbelieving Jews forced us to leave [many towns]. They really make God angry; and [they are] opposed to [what is best for] all human beings!
16 तिनीहरू सदैव तिनीहरूका पापहरूबाट भरिन हामीहरूलाई गैरयहूदीहरूले उद्धार पाऊन् भनेर बोल्न दिँदैनन् । तिनीहरूमाथि क्रोध चरम रूपमा आएको छ ।
[Specifically], when we tell [the good message] to non-Jewish people in order that they can be saved {[that God] will save them} [spiritually], these [unbelieving Jews] try to stop/prevent us from doing that. Because they continually sin more and more, they are almost reaching the limit that has been [set by God] [MET]! [God] will soon punish them [MTY], at last, for all their sins!
17 भाइहरू हो, हामीहरू छोटो समयको निम्ति हृदयमा होइन, तर उपस्थितिमा छुट्ट्याइएका थियौँ र हामीले तिमीहरूलाई भेट गर्नलाई सक्दो तीव्र इच्छा गर्यौँ ।
My fellow believers, when for a short time [IDM] [those people forced us to be separated] from you, [we felt like parents] (who had lost all their children/whose children had died) [MET]. [Although] we were far away from you, [we were still] emotionally [concerned about you], and we strongly desired to be present with you.
18 किनभने हामी तिमीहरूकहाँ आउन चाहन्थ्यौँ । म पावलले बारम्बार कोसिस गरेँ, तर शैतानले हामीलाई बाधा दियो ।
[You can know that] we wanted to return to you. Indeed I, Paul, [tried to return] twice [IDM]. But [we did not return because] each time Satan [prevented us from returning].
19 किनभने हाम्रा प्रभु येशूको आगमनमा उहाँको सामु हाम्रो भविष्यको निम्ति दृढ आनन्द वा महिमाको मुकुट अरूहरू जति नै तिमीहरू नै होइनौ र?
[We were strongly desiring to be with you], because truly you [RHQ] [are the ones about whom we are proud and joyful]! It is because we are confident that you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will be] joyful! You are the ones who we confidently expect [will keep strongly trusting in God!] It is because you [will] ([remain faithful/continue believing in God]) that we [will] be proud [of the work that we have done] [MET, RHQ] [when] our Lord Jesus [examines what we all have done, at the time] when he comes back [to earth]!
20 किनभने तिमीहरू हाम्रो महिमा र आनन्द हौ ।
Indeed, it is because of you that [even now we] are pleased and joyful!
