< १ तिमोथी 6 >
1 दासत्वको जुवामूनि भएका सबैले आफ्ना मालिकहरूलाई पुरा सम्मानको योग्य सम्झून् । तिमीहरूले त्यसो गर्नुपर्छ ताकिे परमेश्वरको नाउँ र शिक्षा निन्दित नहोस् ।
All who are in the position of slaves should regard their masters as deserving of the greatest respect, so that the name of God, and our teaching, may not be maligned.
2 विश्वास गर्ने मालिक भएको नोकरले तिनीहरू दाजुभाइ हुन् भन्दैमा अवहेलना गर्नु हुँदैन । बरू तिनीहरूले अझ बढी सेवा गर्नुपर्छ ।
Those who have Christian masters should not think less of them because they are also followers of Christ, but on the contrary they should serve them all the better, because those who are to benefit by their good work are dear to them as their fellow Christians.
3 मानौँ की कसैले फरक तरिकाले शिक्षा दिन्छ र वचन हाम्रो विश्वासयोग्य शिक्षा, अर्थात हाम्रो प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको वचनलाई स्वीकार गर्दैन । मानौँ कि तिमीलेहरूले भक्तितर्फ डोर्याउने शिक्षालाई स्वीकार गर्दैनन् ।
Anyone who teaches otherwise, and refuses their assent to sound instruction – the instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ – and to the teaching of religion,
4 त्यो व्याक्ति घमण्डी हो र केही पनि जान्दैन, बरु ऊ विवादहरू र शब्दहरूको बरेमा गरिने तर्कहरूले झगडा गर्छ, जेलिएको हुन्छ । ती शब्दहरूले डाह, कलह, बदनामी, खराब शंकाहरू र,
is puffed up with conceit, not really knowing anything, but having a morbid craving for discussions and arguments. Such things only give rise to envy, quarreling, recriminations, base suspicions,
5 भ्रष्ट वुद्धि भएका मानिसहरूले बीचमा वादविवाद उत्पन्न गराउँछन् । तिनीहरू सत्यताबाट टाढा जान्छन् । तिनीहरू भक्तिलाई धनी हुने बाटो सम्झन्छन ।
and incessant wrangling on the part of these corrupt-minded people who have lost all hold on the truth, and who think of religion only as a source of gain.
6 अब सन्तुष्टि सहितको भक्ति ठूलो लाभ हो ।
Of course religion is a great source of gain – when combined with contentment!
7 किनभने हामीले संसारमा केही ल्याउनौँ । न त केही लान नै सक्ने छौँ ।
For we brought nothing into the world, because we cannot even carry anything out of it.
8 बरू हामीसँग भएको खानेकुरा र कपडाहरूमा सन्तुष्ट होऔँ ।
So, with food and shelter, we will be content.
9 अब, धनी हुन चाहनेहरू परिक्षामा पर्छन, पासोमा फस्छन् । तिनीहरू धेरै मूर्ख र हानिकारक वासनाहरूमा फस्छन्, र मानिसलाई बरवादी र विनाशमा दुब्छन् ।
Those who want to be rich fall into the net of temptation, and become the prey of many foolish and harmful ambitions, which plunge people into destruction and ruin.
10 रूपैयाँ पैसाको मोह नै सबै किसिमको खराबीहरूको जड हो । यसको चाह गर्ने केही मानिसबाट टाढा भडकाइएका छन् र धेरै पीडाले आफैलाइ घोचेको छन् ।
Love of money is a source of all kinds of evil; and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith, and have been pierced to the heart by many a regret.
11 तर तिमी, परमेश्वरका जन, यी कुराहरूबाट भाग । धार्मिकता, भक्ति, विश्वासयोग्यता, प्रेम, धैर्यता र नम्रताको पछि लाग ।
But you must, servant of God, avoid all this. Aim at righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
12 विश्वासको उत्तम लडाई लड । अनन्त जीवनलाई पक्री राख जसका लागि तिमी बोलाइएका थियौ । यो धेरै गवाहाहरूको सामु जे असल छ त्यसको बारेमा तिमीले गवाहीको बारेमा थियो । (aiōnios )
Run the great race of the faith, and win the eternal life. It was for this that you received the call, and, in the presence of many witnesses, made the great profession of faith. (aiōnios )
13 सबै कुराहरूलाई अस्तित्वमा ल्याउनु हुने परमेश्वर र पन्तियस पिलातसको अघि सत्य कुरा बोल्नुहुने ख्रीष्ट येशूको अगाडि म तिमिलाई यो आज्ञा गर्दछु ।
I beg you, as in the sight of God, the source of all life, and of Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate made the great profession of faith –
14 यस आज्ञालाई हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्ट देखा नपरुन्जेल सिद्ध र दोषरहित राख ।
I implore you to keep his command free from stain or reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 अनि धन्य सर्वशक्तिमान, राज्य गर्ने राजा, शासन गर्ने परमप्रभु परमेश्वार उपयुक्त समयमा उहाँको आगमनलाई प्रकट गर्नु हुनेछ ।
This will be brought about in his own time by the one ever-blessed Potentate, the king of all kings and Lord of all lords,
16 केवल उहाँ मात्र अमर हुनुहुन्छ र कोही पनि जान नसक्ने ज्योतिमा वास गर्नुहुन्छ । नत उहाँलाई कसैले देखेको छ नत देख्न सक्दछ । उहाँलाई नै आदर र अनन्त शक्ति होस् । आमिन । (aiōnios )
who alone is possessed of immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or ever can see – to whom be ascribed honor and power for ever. Amen. (aiōnios )
17 यस संसारका धनीहरूलाई भन, यस संसारका धनमा गर्व नगर्न भन, र अनिश्चित सम्पत्तिमा आशा नगर्न भन । बरु तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा आशा राखून् । उहाँले हामीलाई सबै साँचो सम्पत्तिहरू हाम्रा आनन्दका लागि दिनुहुन्छ । (aiōn )
Teach those who are wealthy in this life not to pride themselves, or fix their hopes, on so uncertain a thing as wealth, but on God, who gives us a wealth of enjoyment on every side. (aiōn )
18 तिनीहरूलाई असल काम गर्न, तिनीहरू असल काममा धनी हुन, उदार हुन र बाडचुड गर्ने इच्छा गर्न भन ।
Teach them to show kindness, to exhibit a wealth of good actions, to be open-handed and generous,
19 यसरी तिनीहरूले आउने कुराको लागि असल जग भण्डार गर्नेछन्, यसैले तिनीहरूले साँचो जीवनलाई पक्रनेछन् ।
storing up for themselves what in the future will prove to be a good foundation, so that they may gain the only true life.
20 तिमोथी, तिमीलाई दिइएको कुरा सुरक्षित राख । मूर्खतापूर्ण वातचित र विरोधाभाषपूर्ण वादविवाद जुन झुटो ज्ञान हो, तीबाट अलग बस ।
Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane prattle and contradictions of what some miscall ‘theology,’
21 कोही मानिसहरू यी कुराहरूको घोषणा गर्छन् र यसरी तिनीहरू विश्वासबाट चुकेका छन् । तिमीसँग अनुग्रह रहिरहोस् ।
for there are those who, while asserting their proficiency in it, have yet, as regards the faith, gone altogether astray. God bless you all.
