२ कोरिन्थी 10

1 म पावल आफैँ तिमीहरूलाई येशू ख्रीष्‍टको नम्रता र विनम्रतामा आग्रह गर्दछु । म तिमीहरूको उपस्थितिमा हुँदा नम्र हुन्छु, तर जब म टाढा हुन्छु, तब म तिमीहरूप्रति साहसी हुन्छु ।

Now I Paul myself entreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who indeed am lowly in presence among you, but am bold toward you when absent.

2 म तिमीहरूसँग बिन्‍ती गर्दछु, कि तिमीहरूसँग म उपस्थित हुँदा, मलाई आत्म-विश्‍वासका साथ साहसी हुन आवश्यक पर्नेछैन । तर मेरो विचारमा हामी शरीरअनुसार बाँचिरहेका छौँ भनी ठान्‍नेहरूको विरोध गर्दा म साहसी हुन आवश्यक पर्नेछ ।

But I pray not to be bold when present with the confidence by which I consider to be valiant toward some who consider us as walking according to flesh.

3 हामी शरीरमा हिँडे तापनि हामी शरीरअनुसार युद्ध लड्दैनौँ ।

For though walking in flesh, we do not war according to flesh.

4 हामीले लडाइँ लड्ने हतियार शारीरिक होइन, बरु तिनीहरूसँग किल्लाहरू नष्‍ट गर्न सक्‍ने ईश्‍वरीय शक्‍ति छ । तिनीहरूले बहकाउने विवादहरूलाई बेकारको तुल्याउँछन् ।

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the demolition of strongholds,

5 हामी पनि परमेश्‍वरको ज्ञानको विरुद्धमा खडा हरेक उच्‍च कुरालाई नष्‍ट गर्दछौँ । हामी हरेक विचारलाई ख्रीष्‍टको आज्ञाकारितामा कैद गर्छौं ।

casting down imaginations, and every high thing exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought captive into the obedience of the Christ,

6 तिमीहरूको आज्ञाकारिता पुरा हुनासाथ हामी हरेक अनाज्ञाकारिताका कामहरूलाई दण्ड दिन तयार हुँदै छौँ ।

and having in readiness to avenge every disobedience, whenever your obedience is fulfilled.

7 जे कुरा तिमीहरूको अगाडि स्पष्‍ट छ, त्यसलाई हेर । यदि कसैले ऊ ख्रीष्‍टको हो भन्‍ने कुरामा विश्‍वस्त छ भने, ऊ ख्रीष्‍टको भए जस्तैहामी पनि ख्रीष्‍टका हौँ भन्‍ने कुरा आफैँलाई याद दिलाओस् ।

Do ye look at things according to appearance. If any man has convinced himself to be of Christ, let him consider this again of himself, that, as he is of Christ, so also are we of Christ.

8 किनकि जसले तिमीहरूलाई नाश गर्न नभई तिमीहरूलाई निर्माण गर्न हामीलाई प्रभुले दिनुभएको हाम्रो अधिकारको बारेमा मैले केही ज्यादा नै घमण्ड गरेँ भने पनि म लज्‍जित हुनेछैन ।

For even if I also should boast somewhat more abundantly about our authority (which the Lord gave us for building up and not for tearing you down), I will not be shamed,

9 मेरा पत्रहरूद्वारा म तिमीहरूलाई भयभीत तुल्याउँदै छु भन्‍ने देखाउन चाहन्‍नँ ।

so that I would not seem as if to terrify you by the letters.

10 तर केही मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “त्यसका पत्रहरू गम्भीर र शक्‍तिशाली छन्, तर त्यो शारीरिक रूपमा कमजोर छ । त्यसका वचनहरू सुन्‍न योग्यका छैनन् ।”

Because, The letters, he says, are indeed weighty and powerful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is disdained.

11 त्यस्ता मानिसहरू यो कुरामा सचेत रहून्, कि हाम्रो अनुपस्थितिमा हाम्रा पत्रहरूका वचनमा हामी जस्ता छौँ हामी त्यहाँ हुँदा पनि हाम्रा कामद्वारा हामी त्यस्तै हुनेछौँ ।

Let such a man think this, that such kind we are in word by letters when absent, we are also such kind when present in the work.

12 हामी आफ्नो प्रशंसा आफैँ गर्ने मानिसहरूको समूहमा रहन वा तिनीहरूसँग आफैँलाई तुलना गर्ने हदसम्म हामी जाँदैनौँ । तर जब तिनीहरूले आफैँलाई एक अर्कासँग नापेर हेर्छन्, र एक अर्कासँग तुलना गर्दछन्, तिनीहरूसँग अन्तर्दृष्‍टि हुँदैन ।

For we dare not classify or compare ourselves to some of those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, do not understand.

13 तर हामी सीमाभन्दा बाहिर गएर घमण्ड गर्नेछैनौँ । बरु, परमेश्‍वरले नियुक्त गरिदिनुभएका सीमाहरूभित्र मात्र हामी त्यसो गर्दछौँ, जुन सीमा तिमीहरूसम्म पुग्दछ ।

But we will not boast in things immeasurable, but according to the measure of the standard that God apportioned to us, of a measure to reach even as far as you.

14 किनकि तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा हामीले आफैँलाई बढी ठानेनौँ । सुसमाचार लिएर तिमीहरूकहाँ पहिलो पटक आउने हामी नै थियौँ ।

For it is not as not reaching for you. We overextend ourselves. For we even reached as far as you in the good news of the Christ,

15 हामीले अरूको परिश्रमको बारेमा सीमाभन्दा बढी घमण्ड गरेका छैनौँ । बरु, हामी आशा गर्छौं, कि तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास बढ्दा हाम्रो कामको दायरा पनि बृहत् रूपमा फैलनेछ, तापनि यो उचित सीमाभित्र नै रहनेछ ।

not boasting in things immeasurable, in other men's labors, but having hope of your faith growing in you to be enlarged according to our measure for abundance,

16 हामी यसको आशा गर्दछौँ, ताकि तिमीहरूभन्दा परका क्षेत्रहरूमा पनि हामी सुसामाचार प्रचार गर्न सकौँ । अरूको क्षेत्रमा भइरहेको कामको बारेमा हामी घमण्ड गर्दैनौँ ।

in order to preach the good news beyond you, not to boast in another measure, in things prepared.

17 “तर घमण्ड गर्नेले परमप्रभुमा घमण्ड गरोस् ।”

But he who boasts should boast in the Lord.

18 किनकि आफ्नो सिफारिस आफैँ गर्ने मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिँदैन । बरु, परमप्रभुले सिफारिस गरेको मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिन्छ ।

For he who commends himself, that man is not approved, but whom the Lord commends.
