२ कोरिन्थी 12
1 मैले गर्व गर्नैपर्छ, तर यसबाट केही लाभ हुँदैन । तर प्रभुको दर्शन र प्रकाशहरूमा म लागिरहन्छु ।
It is necessary to boast, though it is not profitable. But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 म ख्रीष्टमा एक जना मानिसलाई चिन्छु जो चौध वर्ष अगाडि तेस्रो स्वर्गसम्म उचाली लगियो, शरीरमा वा शरीरविनै मलाई थाहा छैन, तर परमेश्वरलाई थाहा छ ।
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I do not know, or whether out of the body, I do not know; God knows), such a one was caught up into the third heaven.
3 र मलाई थाहा छ, त्यो मानिस शरीरमा वा शरीरविनै हो, मलाई थाहा छैन, तर परमेश्वरलाई थाहा छ ।
I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows),
4 कि ऊ स्वर्गमा उचालि लगियो र उसले कसैले उच्चारण नै गर्न नसक्ने अति पवित्र कुराहरू सुन्यो ।
how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a human to utter.
5 त्यस मानिसको तर्फबाट म गर्व गर्छु । तर म आफ्नै दुर्वलताबाहेक अरू कुरामा गर्व गर्नेछैन ।
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6 यदि मैले गर्व नै गर्न चाहेको भए तापनि म मूर्ख बन्नेछैन किनकि मैले सत्य बोलिरहेको छु । तर कसैले पनि मबाट देखेको वा सुनेका कुरा भन्दा बढि मलाई नसोचोस् भनेर म गर्व गर्नदेखि थामिन्छु ।
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no one may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
7 आश्चर्यजनक प्रकाशहरूको कारण म गर्व गर्नदेखि थामिन्छु । त्यसकारण, म घमण्डले नफूलूँ भनेर एउटा काँढो मेरो शरीरमा दिइएको छ । म धेरै घमण्डी नहूँ भनेर शैतान तर्फको दूत मलाई दुःख दिनको निम्ति दिइएको छ ।
And because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, therefore, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to pound away at me, to keep me from exalting myself.
8 मबाट यो काँढो निकालिदिनुभएको होस् भनेर मैले प्रभुसित तिन पटक बिन्ती गरेँ ।
Concerning this thing, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 अनि उहाँले मलाई भन्नुभयो, “मेरो अनुग्रह तिम्रो निम्ति प्रशस्त छ, किनकि दुर्बलतामा नै शक्ति सिद्ध हुन्छ ।” यसैले, ख्रीष्टको शक्ति ममा बास गरोस् भनेर म मेरो दुर्बलतामा गर्व गर्नेछु ।
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
10 त्यसकारण, म ख्रीष्टको खातिर दुर्बलताहरूमा, निन्दाहरूमा, समस्याहरूमा, सतावटहरूमा, कष्टपूर्ण अवस्थाहरूमा खुसी रहन्छु ।
Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 म मूर्ख भएको छु! तिमीहरूले मलाई यसो गर्न कर लगायौ, किनकि तिमीहरूबाट त मेरो प्रशंसा हुनुपर्ने थियो । किनकि म केही नभए तापनि ती सर्वोच्च प्रेरितहरूभन्दा तुच्छ छैनँ ।
I have become foolish. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12 सारा धैर्य, चिह्नहरू र शक्तिशाली कामहरूद्वारा साँचा प्रेरितहरूका लक्षणहरू तिमीहरूका माझमा प्रदर्शन गरिएका थिए ।
Truly the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all patience, in signs and wonders and mighty works.
13 म तिमीहरूको बोझ नभएको कुरा बाहेक कसरी तिमीहरू अरू मण्डलीहरूभन्दा कम महत्त्वका भयौ र?” यो गल्तीको निम्ति मलाई क्षमा देओ ।
For what is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches, unless it is that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 हेर! म तिमीहरूकहाँ तेस्रो पटक आउन इच्छुक छु । तिमीहरूका निम्ति म बोझ बन्न चाहन्नँ, किनकि म तिमीहरूसँग भएका कुराहरू चाहन्नँ । म तिमीहरूलाई चाहन्छु । किनकि छोराछोरीहरूले आमा बाबुको निम्ति बचत गर्दैनन् । बरु, आमा बाबुले छोराछोरीको निम्ति बचत गर्नुपर्छ ।
Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 म तिमीहरूका प्राणको निम्ति ज्यादै खुसीसाथ खर्च गर्नेछु र स्वयम् आफैँ पनि खर्चनेछु । यदि म तिमीहरूलाई बढी प्रेम गर्छु भने के मैलेचाहिँ कम माया पाउने र?
I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?
16 यसो भए तापनि म तिमीहरूमाथि बोझ बनिनँ । तर म धूर्त भएको कारण मैले नै छलद्वारा तिमीहरूलाई फसाएँ ।
But be it so, I did not myself burden you. But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.
17 के मैले पठाएका कोहीमार्फत मैले तिमीहरूको फाइदा उठाएँ र?
Did I take advantage of you by anyone of them whom I have sent to you?
18 मैले बिन्ती गरेर तीतससँग केही भाइहरूलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएँ । के तीतसले तिमीहरूबाट केही फाइदा लिए र? के हामी पनि यसरी नै चलेनौँ र? के हामीले पनि यसरी नै पाइला चालेनौँ र?
I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did not we walk in the same spirit? Did not we walk in the same steps?
19 के यतिञ्जेल हामी तिमीहरूका सामु हामी आफ्नो सफाइ दिइरहेका थियौँ भन्ने तिमीहरू सोच्छौ? परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा हामी तिमीहरूलाई बलियो बनाउनको निम्ति सबै कुरा ख्रीष्टमा बोलिरहेका छौँ ।
Have you been thinking all this time that we have been defending ourselves before you? In the sight of God we speak in Christ; and all things, beloved, are for your edifying.
20 किनकि म तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा तिमीहरूलाई मैले चाहेजस्तै पाउँदिनँ कि भनेर म डराउँछु । मलाई तिमीहरूले चाहेजस्तै नपाऔला भनेर म डराउँछु । त्यहाँ वादविवाद, ईर्ष्या, रिसहरू पोख्ने काम, व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थ, कुरा काट्ने, घमण्ड र गडबडी होला भनेर म डराउँछु ।
For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you do not desire; that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, riots;
21 म तिमीहरूकहाँ फेरि फर्केर आउँदा मेरा परमेश्वरले मलाई तिमीहरूका सामु विनम्र पार्नुहोला भनेर मलाई डर लाग्छ । त्यस्ता धेरै मानिसहरू जसले अपवित्रता र यौन अनैतिकता अनि कामवासनाको चाहनाबाट पश्चात्ताप गरेका छैनन्, तिनीहरूको कारण मैले शोक पर्नुपर्ला कि भनेर मलाई डर लाग्छ ।
that again when I come my God would humble me before you, and I would mourn for many of those who have sinned before now, and not repented of the uncleanness and sexual immorality and lustfulness which they committed.
