< २ कोरिन्थी 5 >
1 हामी जान्दछौँ, कि हामीले बास गरेको यो यो पार्थिव शरीर नष्ट भयो भने पनि हामीसँग परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको भवन छ । यो मानिसको हातले बनाएको घर होइन, तर स्वर्गमा रहेको अनन्तसम्म रहने घर हो । (aiōnios )
Now then, we know that though our earthly, tent-like ‘house’ may be destroyed, we have a building from God (not a handmade house), eternal in the heavens. (aiōnios )
2 किनकि हाम्रो स्वर्गीय बासस्थानको पोशाक पहिरिने आशामा हामी यो पालमा पीडाले आर्तनाद गर्छौं ।
Further, in this one we do groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly habitation;
3 हामी यसको इच्छा गर्छौं किनकि यसलाई पहिरिएपछि हामी नाङ्गा हुनेछैनौँ ।
since, obviously, once clothed we will not be found naked.
4 किनकि जबसम्म हामी यस पालमा छौँ, बोझले भरिएर हामी आर्तनाद गर्छौं । हामी निर्वस्त्र हुन चाहँदैनौँ । तर जे मरणशील छ, त्यो जीवनमा समावेश होस् भनेर हामी वस्त्र पहिरन चाहन्छौँ ।
Yes, being in this ‘tent’ is a burden, so we groan—not enough to want to strip, but to be really clothed; that what is mortal may be swallowed up by the Life.
5 हामीलाई यसको निम्ति तयार गर्नुहुने परमेश्वर नै हुनुहुन्छ, जसले हाम्रो निम्ति पछि आउने कुराको बैनाको रूपमा पवित्र आत्मा दिनुभएको छ ।
Now it is God who has prepared us for this very purpose, who also has given us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 त्यसैले, सधैँ विश्वस्त रहो । यो जानी राख कि जब हामी हाम्रो शारीरिक घरमा रहन्छौँ, हामी परमेश्वरबाट टाढा रहन्छौँ ।
So we are always confident, even knowing that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord's home
7 हामी विश्वासद्वारा हिँड्छौँ, देखिने कुराको आधारमा होइन ।
—we walk by faith, not by sight—
8 त्यसैले, हामी विश्वस्त छौँ । हामी शरीरबाट टाढा रहेर प्रभुसँग हुन रुचाउँछौँ ।
indeed, we are confident in preferring to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9 त्यसैले, घरमा वा त्यसबाट टाढा जहाँ रहे पनि हाम्रो उद्देश्य उहाँलाई प्रसन्न पार्नु हो ।
Yes, that is why we make it our aim (whether at home or away from it) to be well pleasing to Him.
10 किनकि हामी सबै ख्रीष्टको न्याय आसनको अगाडि खडा हुनुपर्छ, ताकि हरेकले शरीरमा हुँदा गरेको असल वा खराब कार्यको निम्ति प्रतिफल पाओस् ।
Because we must all be exposed before Christ's Judgment Seat, that each one may receive his due for the things he did while in the body, whether good or bad.
11 त्यसकारण, परमेश्वरको भय जानेर नै हामी मानिसहरूलाई मनाउँछौँ । हामी को हौँ भन्ने कुरा परमेश्वरलाई थाहा छ । म आशा गर्छु कि तिमीहरूको विवेकमा यो कुरा स्पष्ट छ ।
Therefore, since we know the Lord's intimidation, we try to convince people. We are well known to God, and I hope in your consciences as well.
12 हामीलाई तिमीहरूले इमानदार ठान भनेर हामीले तिमीहरूलाई मनाउन खोजिरहेका छैनौँ । बरु, हामी तिमीहरूलाई हामीमाथि गर्व गर्ने कारण दिँदै छौँ ताकि हृदयका भन्दा बाहिरी रूपको धाक लगाउनेहरूलाई जवाफ दिन सक ।
We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity of boasting on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
13 किनकि यदि हाम्रो मन ठिक छैन भने पनि त्यो परमेश्वरको लागि हो । तर यदि हाम्रो मन ठिक छ भने त्यो तिमीहरूको खातिर हो ।
If we are ‘out of our senses’, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you.
14 किनकि ख्रीष्टको प्रेमले हामीलाई बाध्य पार्छ र हामीलाई यो निश्चय छ कि सबैको निम्ति एक जना मर्नुभएको हुनाले सबै मरेका छन् ।
For Christ's love impels us, having concluded this: if One died for all it follows that all died;
15 अनि ख्रीष्ट हामी सबैको निम्ति मर्नुभयो ताकि बाँच्नेहरू आफ्नो लागि नबाँचून् । बरु, तिनीहरू उहाँको निम्ति जिउनुपर्छ, जो मर्नुभयो र फेरि जीवित पारिनुभयो ।
and He died for all so that those who now live should no longer live for themselves but for the One who died for all and was raised again.
16 त्यसैले, हामीले एक चोटि ख्रीष्टलाई त्यसै गरेका भए तापनि अब उसो हामी कसैलाई मानिसको दृष्टिकोणअनुसार मूल्याङ्कन गर्दैनौँ । अब हामी कसैलाई कदापि त्यसरी हेर्दैनौँ ।
So then, from now on we regard no one from a fleshly perspective—even if we have ‘known’ Christ in this way, we do so no longer—
17 किनभने कोही ख्रीष्टमा छ भने ऊ नयाँ सृष्टि हो । पुराना कुरा बितेर गएका छन् । हेर, ती नयाँ भएका छन् ।
so then, if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old things have passed on; look, all has become new!
18 यी सबै कुरा परमेश्वरबाट भएका हुन् । उहाँले हामीलाई ख्रीष्टद्वारा उहाँसँगै मिलापमा ल्याउनुभयो र हामीलाई मिलापको सेवा दिनुभएको छ ।
And that ‘all’ is from the God who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ and given us the ministry of the reconciliation,
19 अर्थात् तिनीहरूका पापका लेखा नलिएर परमेश्वरले ख्रीष्टद्वारा संसारलाई आफूसित मिलापमा ल्याउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले मिलापको सन्देशको जिम्मा हामीलाई सुम्पनुहुँदै छ ।
namely that in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, including committing to us the message of this reconciliation.
20 त्यसैले, परमेश्वरले हामीद्वारा अनुरोध गरिरहनुभए झैँ गरेर हामी ख्रीष्टका दूतको रूपमा नियुक्त गरिएका छौँ । “परमेश्वरमा मिलापमा आओ!” भनेर हामी तिमीहरूसित ख्रीष्टको खातिर अनुरोध गर्छौं ।
So then, we are Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God!
21 उहाँले ख्रीष्टलाई हाम्रा पापको निम्ति बलि बन्न लगाउनुभयो । उहाँले कहिल्यै पाप गर्नुभएन । हामी उहाँमा परमेश्वरको धार्मिकता बन्न सकौँ भनेर उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो ।
Because He made the One who did not know sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become God's righteousness.
