२ कोरिन्थी 3
1 के हामी फेरि आफ्नो प्रशंसा आफैँ गर्न लागिरहेका छौँ? केही मानिसहरूलाई जस्तै हामीलाई पनि तिमीहरू समक्ष वा तिमीहरूबाट सिफारिस पत्रको जरुरी छैन, छ र?
Do we begin again anew to show who we are? or do we need as others to write epistles of commendation to you concerning ourselves, or that you should write to commend us?
2 तिमीहरू नै हाम्रो लागि हृदयमा लेखिएको सिफारिस पत्र हौ जसलाई सबै मानिसले पढेका र जानेका छन् ।
But you yourselves are our epistle, written in our hearts, and known and read of every man.
3 र तिमीहरू हामीद्वारा वितरण गरिएका ख्रीष्टका पत्र हौ भन्ने तिमीहरूले नै देखाउँछौ । यो मसीले होइन, तर जीवित परमेश्वरको आत्माबाट लेखिएको थियो । यो ढुङ्गाको पाटीमा लेखिएको थिएन, तर मानिसहरूका हृदयका पाटीमा लेखिएको थियो ।
For you know that you are an epistle of the Meshiha, who hath been ministered by us; written, not with ink but by the Spirit of Aloha the Living; not on tablets of stone, but on the fleshly tablets of the heart.
4 र यो ख्रीष्ट येशूद्वारा परमेश्वरमा भएको हाम्रो आत्मविश्वास हो ।
BUT such confidence we have through the Meshiha toward Aloha.
5 कुनै पनि कुरा हामीबाट आइरहेको छ भनेर दाबी गर्न हामी आफैँ योग्य छैनौँ । बरु, हाम्रो योग्यता परमेश्वरबाट आएको हो ।
For we are not sufficient to think any thing as of ourselves; but our power is from Aloha,
6 परमेश्वरले हामीलाई नयाँ करारका सेवकहरू हुन योग्य बनाउनुभएको छ । यो करार अक्षरबाट होइन, तर आत्माबाट हो । किनकि अक्षरले मार्दछ, तर आत्माले जीवन दिन्छ ।
who hath made us fit to be ministers of the new covenant, not in the writing, but in the spirit. For the writing killeth, but the Spirit maketh alive.
7 अब ढुङ्गामा कुँदिएको मृत्यु ल्याउने अक्षर यस्तो महिमासँग इस्राएलीहरूको बिचमा आयो कि इस्राएलीहरूले मोशाको अनुहार सिधै हेर्न सकेनन् । यो उनको अनुहारको महिमाको कारणले गर्दा हो, जुन महिमा मन्द हुँदै थियो ।
But if the ministry of death in the writing engraven on stones was with glory, as that the sons of Israel could not look on the face of Musha because of the glory of his face which is abolished,
8 पवित्र आत्माको काम झन् कति धेरै महिमित होला?
how much more then doth not the ministry Of the Spirit excel in glory?
9 यदि निन्दापूर्ण सेवाको महिमा थियो भने धार्मिकताको सेवा अझ कति धेरै महिमित हुन्छ!
For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more doth not the ministry of justification excel in glory?
10 किनकि वास्तवमा जुन एक समय महिमित पारिएको थियो, यसलाई माथ गर्ने अर्को महिमाको कारण अहिले त्यो महिमित छैन ।
For that which was glorified had no glory, in comparison of this excelling glory.
11 यदि बितेर जानेको कुराको महिमा थियो भने सधैँको लागि रहने कुराको झन् कति धेरै महिमा हुनेछ!
For if that which was abolished was with glory, how much more shall that which endureth be with glory?
12 हामीसँग यस्तो आशा भएको कारण हामी साहसी छौँ ।
Therefore because we have this hope, we speak the more boldly,
13 हराउँदै गरेको महिमाको अन्त्य इस्राएलीहरूले सिधै देख्न नसकून् भनेर हामी आफ्नो अनुहारमा घुम्टो लगाउने मोशाजस्ता छैनौँ ।
and (are) not as Musha, who threw the veil upon his face, that the sons of Israel might not look upon the End of that which was to be abolished.
14 तर तिनीहरूका मन कठोर पारिएका थिए । पुरानो करार पढ्दा आजको दिनसम्म पनि त्यो घुम्टो रहिरहन्छ । त्यो खोलिएको छैन, किनकि ख्रीष्टमा मात्र यो खोलिन्छ ।
But they are blinded in their minds unto this day. For when the old covenant is read, that very veil standeth upon them, nor is it apparent (to them) that in the Meshiha it hath been abolished.
15 तर आज पनि जब मोशाको बारेमा पढिन्छ, तिनीहरूको हृदयमा घुम्टो रहन्छ ।
And unto this day, when Musha is read, the veil is thrown upon their heart.
16 तर जब कोही व्यक्ति परमप्रभुमा फर्किन्छ, तब घुम्टो हटाइन्छ ।
And when any one of them is converted unto the Lord, the veil from him is uplifted.
17 परमप्रभु आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ । जहाँ परमप्रभुको आत्मा छ, त्यहाँ स्वतन्त्रता हुन्छ ।
But the Lord himself is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord, (there) is liberty.
18 अब हामी सबै घुम्टो हटाइएको अनुहारले परमप्रभुको महिमालाई हेर्छौं । हामी एक महिमादेखि अर्को महिमामा उक्लँदै त्यही महिमामा बद्लिँदै छौँ । यो परमप्रभुबाट आउँछ, जो आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ ।
But we all with disclosed faces behold the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, and into the resemblance of it are changed from brightness to brightness, as by the Lord the Spirit.
