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 beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I, who present indeed am lowly 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 entreat you, that I may not when I am present be bold with that confidence wherewith I think of being bold towards some, who think of us as walking according to the flesh.
3 हामी शरीरमा हिँडे तापनि हामी शरीरअनुसार युद्ध लड्दैनौँ ।
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the 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 fleshly, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, )
5 हामी पनि परमेश्वरको ज्ञानको विरुद्धमा खडा हरेक उच्च कुरालाई नष्ट गर्दछौँ । हामी हरेक विचारलाई ख्रीष्टको आज्ञाकारितामा कैद गर्छौं ।
casting down reasonings, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing every purpose into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 तिमीहरूको आज्ञाकारिता पुरा हुनासाथ हामी हरेक अनाज्ञाकारिताका कामहरूलाई दण्ड दिन तयार हुँदै छौँ ।
and being in readiness to punish every disobedience, when the measure of your obedience shall be full.
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 ।
Ye look at the outward appearance. If any one trusteth to himself that he belongeth to Christ, let him of himself consider this again, that as he belongeth to Christ, so also do we.
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 should boast still more highly of our authority, which the Lord gave us for building you up, and not pulling you down, I should not be put to shame;
9 मेरा पत्रहरूद्वारा म तिमीहरूलाई भयभीत तुल्याउँदै छु भन्ने देखाउन चाहन्नँ ।
that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.
10 तर केही मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “त्यसका पत्रहरू गम्भीर र शक्तिशाली छन्, तर त्यो शारीरिक रूपमा कमजोर छ । त्यसका वचनहरू सुन्न योग्यका छैनन् ।”
For his letters, saith one, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
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 one count upon this, that such as we are in word by letters when absent, such will we be also in deed when present.
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 do not venture to reckon ourselves among, or compare ourselves with, some of those who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise.
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 of things that are without our measure, but according to the measure of the line which God allotted us, —a measure to reach even to you.
14 किनकि तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा हामीले आफैँलाई बढी ठानेनौँ । सुसमाचार लिएर तिमीहरूकहाँ पहिलो पटक आउने हामी नै थियौँ ।
For we do not stretch ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not to you; (for as far as even to you did we come, in the gospel of 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 of things that are without measure, in other men's labors, but having hope, when your faith is increased, that our line will through you be still further extended,
16 हामी यसको आशा गर्दछौँ, ताकि तिमीहरूभन्दा परका क्षेत्रहरूमा पनि हामी सुसामाचार प्रचार गर्न सकौँ । अरूको क्षेत्रमा भइरहेको कामको बारेमा हामी घमण्ड गर्दैनौँ ।
so that we may preach the gospel in the regions beyond you; not boasting, in another's line, of things made ready to our hand.
17 “तर घमण्ड गर्नेले परमप्रभुमा घमण्ड गरोस् ।”
But “he that boasteth, let him boast in the Lord.”
18 किनकि आफ्नो सिफारिस आफैँ गर्ने मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिँदैन । बरु, परमप्रभुले सिफारिस गरेको मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिन्छ ।
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
