१ थेसलोनिकी 5
1 भाइहरू हो, तिमीहरूलाई समय र ऋतुहरूको बारेमा कुनै कुरा लेखिरहनु जरुरत छैन ।
But as to the times and the moments, there is no need, friends, for anyone to write to you.
2 किनकि तिमीहरू आफैले राम्ररी जान्दछौ कि प्रभुको आगमनको समय राती आउने चोरको जस्तै हुनेछ ।
You yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come just as a thief comes in the night.
3 तिनीहरूले “शान्ति र सुरक्षा” भन्दै गर्दा गर्भवती स्त्रीलाई प्रसव-वेदना भएझैँ तिनीहरूमाथि अचानक विनाश आइपर्छ र तिनीहरू कुनै पनि किसिमले उम्कनेछैनन् ।
When people are saying “All is quiet and safe,” it is then that, like birth pains on a pregnant woman, ruin comes suddenly upon them, and there will be no escape!
4 तर भाइहरू हो, त्यो दिन तिमीहरूमाथि चोरझैँ आइपर्नलाई तिमीहरू अन्धकारमा छैनौ ।
You, however, friends, are not in darkness, that the daylight should take you by surprise as if you were thieves.
5 किनभने तिमीहरू सबै प्रकाशका सन्तानहरू र दिनका सन्तानहरू हौ । हामी रातका सन्तान होइनौँ, न त अन्धकारका नै ।
For you all are children of light and children of the day. We have nothing to do with night, or darkness.
6 त्यसैले, हामी बाँकी अरूहरूझैँ नसुतौँ, तर जागा रहौँ र गम्भीर हौँ ।
Therefore let us not sleep as others do. No, let us be watchful and self-controlled.
7 किनभने सुत्नेहरू रातमा नै सुत्छन् र पिएर मात्नेहरू रातमा नै मात्दछन् ।
It is at night that people sleep, and at night that drunkards get drunk.
8 तर हामी दिनका सन्तानहरू हौँ । त्यसैले, गम्भीर हौँ, विश्वास र प्रेमको छाती-पाता लगाऔँ र भावी मुक्तिको टोप पनि लगाऔँ ।
But let us, who belong to the day, control ourselves, and put on faith and love as a breast plate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9 किनभने परमेश्वरले हामीलाई क्रोधको निम्ति होइन, तर हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा मुक्तिको निम्ति चुन्नुभयो ।
For God destined us, not for wrath, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us,
10 उहाँ हाम्रो निम्ति मर्नुभयो ताकि हामी जागा हौँ वा निन्द्रामा हामी सबै उहाँसँग जिउन सकौँ ।
that, whether we are still watching or have fallen asleep, we may live with him.
11 यसकारण, तिमीहरूले अगिदेखि गरेजस्तै एक अर्कालाई सान्त्वना देऊ र निर्माण गर ।
Therefore encourage one another, and try to build up one another’s characters, as indeed you are doing.
12 भाइहरू हो, हामीले तिमीहरूमाझ परिश्रम गर्नेहरूप्रति र तिमीहरूलाई उत्साह दिनेलाई प्रभुमा तिमीहरूभन्दा माथि भएकाहरूप्रति कृतज्ञ हुनलाई आग्रह गर्छौं ।
We beg you, friends, to value those who toil among you, and are your leaders in the Lord’s service, and give you counsel.
13 हामीले तिनीहरूलाई तिनीहरूको कामको खातिर प्रेममा उच्च आदरको सम्झनलाई पनि आग्रह गर्छौं । तिमीहरू आपसमा शान्तिमा रहो ।
Hold them in the very greatest esteem and affection for the sake of their work. Live at peace with one another.
14 भाइहरू हो, हामी तिमीहरूलाई गोलमाल गर्नेहरूलाई चेतावनी दिन, निरुत्साहित भएकाहरूलाई उत्साह दिन, कमजोरलाई समर्थन गर्न र सबैसँग धैर्यवान् हुनलाई उत्साह दिन्छौँ ।
We entreat you also, friends – warn the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, give a helping hand to the weak, and be patient with everyone.
15 हेर, कसैले खराबीको बदला खराबी नगरोस्, तर सदैव एक अर्कामा र सबैलाई असल गर्न प्रयत्न गर ।
Take care that none of you ever pays back wrong for wrong, but always follow the kindest course with one another and with everyone.
16 सदैव आनन्द गर,
Always be joyful;
17 नरोकी प्रार्थना गरिरहो,
never cease to pray;
18 हरेक कुरामा धन्यवाद देओ किनभने यो तिमीहरूको निम्ति ख्रीष्ट येशूमा परमेश्वरको इच्छा हो ।
under all circumstances give thanks to God. For this is his will for you as made known in Christ Jesus.
19 पवित्र आत्मालाई ननिभाओ ।
Do not quench the Spirit;
20 अगमवाणीलाई अवहेलना नगर ।
do not make light of preaching.
21 सबै कुराको जाँच गर, जे असल छ त्यसमा लागिरहो ।
Bring everything to the test; cling to what is good;
22 सबै किसिमको खराबीलाई त्याग ।
shun every form of evil.
23 शान्तिका परमेश्वर आफैले तिमीहरूलाई पूर्ण रूपमा शुद्ध पारून्, र तिमीहरूका सम्पूर्ण आत्मा, प्राण, र शरीरलाई हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको आगमनमा दोषरहित राखून् ।
May God himself, the giver of peace, make you altogether holy; and may your spirits, souls, and bodies be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 तिमीहरूलाई बोलाउनुहुने इमानदार हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले नै यो पनि गर्नुहुनेछ ।
He who calls you will not fail you; he will complete his work.
25 भाइहरू हो, हाम्रो निम्ति पनि प्रार्थना गर ।
Friends, pray for us.
26 सबै भाइहरूलाई पवित्र चुम्बनले अभिवादन गर ।
Greet all the Lord’s followers with a sacred kiss.
27 म प्रभुद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई बिन्ती गर्दछु, कि यो पत्र सबै भाइहरूका निम्ति पनि पढियोस् ।
I order you in the Lord’s name to have this letter read to all the brethren.
28 हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको अनुग्रह तिमीहरूसँग रहोस् ।
May the blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
