२ कोरिन्थी 7
1 प्रियहरू, हामीसँग यी प्रतिज्ञाहरू भएका कारण हाम्रो शरीर र आत्मामा हामीलाई अशुद्ध पार्ने कुराहरूबाट आँफैलाई शुद्ध पारौँ । परमेश्वरको भयमा पवित्रतालाई पछ्याऔँ ।
With these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that pollutes either body or spirit, and, in deepest respect for God, aim at perfect holiness.
2 हाम्रा निम्ति ठाउँ बनाओ! हामीले कसैको खराबी गरेका छैनौँ । हामीले कसैलाई हानि पुर्याएका छैनौँ, न त कसैको फाइदा नै लिएका छौँ ।
Make room for us in your hearts. In no instance have we ever wronged, or harmed, or taken advantage of, anyone.
3 मैले तिमीहरूलाई दोषी ठहर्याउन यो भनेको होइनँ । किनकि मैले अघि नै भनिसकेको छु कि तिमीहरू हाम्रा हृदयमा छौ, सँगै मर्न र बाँच्नको निम्ति ।
I am not saying this to condemn you. Indeed, I have already said that you are in our heart, to live and die together.
4 तिमीहरूमाथि मेरो ठुलो भरोसा छ र म तिमीहरूमा गर्व गर्छु । म सान्त्वनाले भरिएको छु । हाम्रा सबै कष्टमा पनि म आनन्दले भरिएको छु ।
I have the utmost confidence in you; I am always boasting about you. I am full of encouragement and, in spite of all our troubles, my heart is overflowing with happiness.
5 हामी माकेडोनिया आउँदा हाम्रो शरीरले आराम पाएन । बरु, बाहिरका सङ्घर्षहरू र भित्रका भयहरूबाट हामी हरतरहले सताइएका थियौँ ।
Ever since we reached Macedonia, we have had no rest in body or mind; on every side there have been troubles – conflicts without, anxieties within.
6 तर निरुत्साहितहरू लाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुने परमेश्वरले तीतसको आगमनबाट हामीलाई सान्त्वना दिनुभयो ।
But God, who encourages the downcast, has encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
7 तिनको आगमनले मात्र हामीलाई परमेश्वरले सान्त्वना दिनुभएन । तर तीतसले तिमीहरूबाट प्राप्त गरेको सान्त्वनाबाट पनि हो । तिनले तिमीहरूको महान् प्रेम, दुःख र मेरो निम्ति तिमीहरूको गहिरो चिन्ताको बारेमा बताए । यसकारण, म अझ धेरै आनन्दित भएँ ।
And it is not only by his arrival that we are encouraged, but also by the encouragement which he received from you; for he tells us of your strong affection, your penitence, and your zeal on my behalf – so that I am happier still.
8 मेरो पत्रले तिमीहरूलाई दुःखित तुल्याएको भए तापनि म यसको लागि पछुताउँदिनँ । मेरो पत्रले तिमीहरूलाई दुःखित बनाएको मैले देख्दा म पछुताएँ । तर तिमीहरू केही समयको लागि मात्र दुःखित भयौ ।
For, though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I were inclined to regret it – for I see that my letter did cause you sorrow though only for a time –
9 तिमीहरू सताइएको कारणले होइन, तर तिमीहरूको दुःखले तिमीहरूलाई पश्चात्तापसम्म डोर्याएको कारणले अब म खुसी छु । तिमीहरूले ईश्वरीय शोकको महसुस गर्यौ । हाम्रो कारण तिमीहरूले कुनै नोक्सानी भोगेनौ ।
I am glad now; not because of the sorrow it caused you, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance. For it was God’s will that you should feel sorrow, in order that you should not suffer loss in any way at our hands.
10 किनकि ईश्वरीय शोकले पश्चात्ताप ल्याउँछ जसले पछुतोविना नै मुक्तिको काम पुरा गर्छ । तर सांसारिक शोकले मृत्यु ल्याउँछ ।
For, when sorrow is in accordance with God’s will, it results in a repentance leading to salvation, and which will never be regretted. The sure result of the sorrow that the world knows is death.
11 हेर, यस ईश्वरीय शोकले तिमीहरूमा कति ठुलो सङ्कल्प उत्पन्न गरायो । आफूलाई निर्दोष प्रमाणित गर्न तिमीहरूमा कति ठुलो सङ्कल्प थियो । तिमीहरूका क्रोध, डर, तृष्णा, जोस र न्याय भएको हेर्ने तिमीहरूको इच्छा कति ठुलो! यी सबै कुरामा तिमीहरूले यो विषयमा आफैँलाई निर्दोष प्रमाणित गरेका छौ ।
For see what results that other sorrow – sorrow in accordance with God’s will – has had in your case. What earnestness it produced! What explanations! What strong feeling! What alarm! What longing! What eagerness! What readiness to punish! You have proved yourselves altogether free from guilt in that matter.
12 मैले तिमीहरूलाई लेखे तापनि त्यो खराबीग र्ने वा खराबी भोग्नेको खातिर मैले लेखिनँ । हामीप्रति भएको तिमीहरूको गम्भीरता परमेश्वरको सामु थाहा पाउन सकूँ भनेर मैले लेखेँ ।
So, then, even though I did write to you, it was not for the sake of the wrongdoer, or of the man who was wronged, but to make you conscious, in the sight of God, of your own earnest care for us. And it is this that has encouraged us.
13 यही कारणले हामी उत्साहित हुन्छौँ । हाम्रा सान्त्वनासाथै हामी तीतसको आनन्दमा अझै रमायौँ किनकि तिमीहरूद्वारा तिनको प्राणलाई स्फूर्ति मिलेको छ ।
In addition to the encouragement that this gave us, we were made far happier still by the happiness of Titus for his heart has been cheered by you all.
14 किनकि तिनीसँग तिमीहरूको बारेमा गर्व गर्दा म शर्माइनँ । यसको विपरीत, जसरी तिमीहरूलाई हामीले भनेका सबै कुरा साँचा थिए, त्यसरी नै तिमीहरूको बारेमा हामीले तीतससँग गरेको गर्व पनि सत्य ठहरियो ।
Although I have been boasting a little to him about you, you did not put me to shame; but, just as every thing we had said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has also proved to be the truth.
15 तिमीहरू सबैको आज्ञाकारिता र तिमीहरूले तिनलाई डर र कम्पसाथ गरेको स्वागत सम्झेर तिमीहरूप्रति तिनको स्नेह अझ बढ्छ ।
And his affection for you is all the greater, as he remembers the deference that you all showed him, and recalls how you received him with anxious care.
16 म रमाउँछु, किनकि तिमीहरूमाथि मेरो पूर्ण भरोसा छ ।
I am glad that I can feel perfect confidence in you.
