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 appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—I who am humble when with you face to face, but 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 ।

I ask that when I am present I need not show boldness by daring to oppose those who think that we walk according to the flesh.

3 हामी शरीरमा हिँडे तापनि हामी शरीरअनुसार युद्ध लड्दैनौँ ।

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage 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 of the flesh, but are powerful in God for tearing down strongholds.

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

We tear down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

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

We are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

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 ।

Are you looking only at outward appearances? If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that just as he belongs to Christ, so we also belong to 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 boast somewhat further about our authority (which the Lord has given us for building you up and not for tearing you down), I will not be ashamed.

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

For I do not want to seem as though I am trying to frighten 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,” they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech amounts to nothing.”

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 ।

The people who say such things should realize that what we say in our letters when we are absent, we will demonstrate by our actions when we are 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 dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves with one another and compare themselves to one another, they do not show good sense.

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

We, however, will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting to the area of ministry that God has assigned to us, which reaches even as far as you.

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

For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with 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 ।

We do not go beyond our limits by boasting in the labors of others. On the contrary, our hope is that, as your faith increases, our area of ministry among you will be greatly expanded,

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 can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, without boasting about work already done in someone else's area of ministry.

17 “तर घमण्ड गर्नेले परमप्रभुमा घमण्ड गरोस् ।”

But, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

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

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
