< २ कोरिन्थी 6 >
1 र यसकारण, उहाँको अनुग्रहमा सँगसँगै काम गर्दै हामी तिमीहरूलाई अनुरोध गर्दछौँ कि उहाँको अनुग्रहलाई व्यर्थमा नलेओ ।
As co-workers with him, we beseech you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain:
2 उहाँ यसरी भन्नुहुन्छ, “मैले उपयुक्त समयमा तिम्रो वास्ता गरेँ, र मुक्तिको दिनमा मैले तिम्रो सहायता गरेँ ।” हेर, यो मुक्तिको दिन यो ।
(for he says: I have heard thee in an acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I have helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation: )
3 हामी कसैको अगाडि ठेस लाग्ने कुराहरू राख्दैनौँ, कारण हामी हाम्रो सेवामा बेइमानी गर्न चाहन्नौँ ।
for we put no stumbling-block in any man’s way, in order that this ministry may not be blamed;
4 बरु, हामी आफैँलाई परमेश्वरका सेवकहरू हौँ भनी हाम्रो कामबाट प्रमाणित गर्छौं । हामी धैर्य धारणमा, कष्टमा, विपत्तिमा, कठिनाइमा,
but in all things we commend ourselves as the ministers of God, in much suffering, in afflictions, in distresses, in straits,
5 पिटाइमा, कैदी अवस्थामा, हुलदङ्गामा, कडा परिश्रममा, अनिदा रातमा, भोकमा
in stripes, in prisons, in commotions, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;
6 शुद्धतामा, ज्ञानमा, धैर्यमा, दयामा, पवित्र आत्मामा, असल प्रेममा उहाँका सेवकहरू हौँ ।
by purity, by knowledge, by long forbearance, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned,
7 हामीहरू परमेश्वरको शक्तिमा, वचनको सत्यतामा सेवकहरू हौँ । हामीसँग हाम्रो दायाँ र बायाँ हातमा धार्मिकताको हतियार छन् ।
by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 हामी मान र अपमान, निन्दा र प्रशंसामा काम गर्दछौँ । हामीलाई ठगाहा छौँ भन्ने आरोप लगाइन्छ, तथापि हामी साँचा छौँ ।
by honor and dishonor, by evil report, and good report; as impostors, yet truthful;
9 हामी नचिनिएका व्यक्तिहरूले झैँ गर्छौं तापनि हामी चिनिएका छौँ । हामी मरे जस्तो काम गर्छौं, तर हामी अझै जीवितै छौँ । हामीहरू हाम्रा कार्यहरूको निम्ति दण्डित भए जस्तै गरी काम गर्छौं, तर मृत्युदण्ड पाए जस्तै गरी होइन ।
as unknown, yet well-known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and yet not put to death;
10 हामी अफसोसी भएर काम गर्छौं, तर सधैँ आनन्दमा रमाइरहेका छौँ । हामी गरिब भएर काम गर्छौं, तर धेरैलाई धनी बनाउँछौँ । हामी केही नभए जस्तो गरी काम गर्छौं, तापनि सबै थोकहरू पाएका छौँ ।
as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing all things.
11 हे कोरिन्थका विश्वासीहरू हो, हामीले तिमीहरूलाई सबै साँचा कुराहरू बताएका छौँ र हाम्रा हृदयहरू खुला छन् ।
Corinthians, our mouth is opened to you, our heart is enlarged:
12 तिमीहरूका हृदय हामीबाट नियन्त्रित छैनन्, तर तिमीहरूका आफ्नै भावनाद्वारा नियन्त्रित छन् ।
you are not straitened in us, but you are straitened in your own affections.
13 अब यसको सट्टामा, म बालकहरूसँग झैँ बोल्दछु, कि आफ्नो हृदयलाई खुला राख ।
That you may repay me in like manner, (I speak as to children, ) be you also enlarged.
14 अविश्वासीहरूसँगै ननारिओ । किनकि धार्मिकताको व्यवस्थाविहीनहरूसित के सहभागिता? अनि ज्योतिको अन्धकारसित के सङ्गति?
Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? What communion has light with darkness?
15 ख्रीष्टको झुटा बोल्नेहरूसित के सम्झौता? अर्थात्, विश्वासीहरूको अविश्वासीहरूसँग के सहभागिता?
What agreement has Christ with Belial? What connection has a believer with an unbeliever?
16 र परमेश्वरको मन्दिर र मूर्तिहरूबिच के सम्झौता? त्यसकारण, हामीहरू जीवित परमेश्वरका मन्दिर हौँ, जसरी उहाँले भन्नुभएको छः “म तिनीहरूका बिचमा हिँड्नेछु र बास गर्नेछु । म तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुनेछु र तिनीहरू मेरा मानिसहरू हुनेछन् ।”
What has a temple of God in common with one of idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said: I will dwell in them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 त्यसकारण, ‘तिनीहरूका माझबाट बाहिर निस्केर आओ र आफूलाई अलग गर,’ परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ । अशुद्ध चिजहरूलाई नछोओ र म तिमीहरूलाई अपनाउनेछु ।
For this reason, come out from among them, and separate yourselves, says the Lord, and touch not an unclean person, and I will receive you;
18 म तिमीहरूका पिता हुनेछु र तिमीहरू मेरा छोराहरू र छोरीहरू हुनेछौ,” सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्वर भन्नुहुन्छ ।
and I will be to you a father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.
