< २ पत्रुस 1 >
1 येशू ख्रीष्टका दास र प्रेरित सिमोन पत्रुसबाट, हाम्रा परमेश्वरको धार्मिकता र मुक्तिदाता येशू ख्रीष्टमा हाम्रो जस्तै मूल्यवान् विश्वास प्राप्त गरेकाहरूलाई ।
To those to whom, through the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ, there has been granted faith equally privileged with our own, from Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ.
2 तिमीहरूलाई अनुग्रह होस्; हाम्रा परमेश्वर र येशू ख्रीष्टको ज्ञानद्वारा तिमीहरूमा शान्ति प्रशस्त हुँदै जाओस् ।
May blessing and peace be yours in ever increasing measure, as you advance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus, our Lord.
3 आफ्नै महिमा र सद्गुणद्वारा हामीलाई बोलाउनुहुने परमेश्वरको ज्ञानद्वारा हामीलाई ईश्वरीय शक्तिको जीवन र धार्मिकताको निम्ति आवश्यक पर्ने सबै कुरा दिइएको छ ।
For his divine power has given us everything that is needful for a life of piety, as we advance in the knowledge of him who called us by a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
4 यी कुराहरूद्वारा उहाँले हामीलाई बहुमूल्य र महान् प्रतिज्ञाहरू दिनुभएको छ । तिमीहरू संसारका कुइच्छाबाट आउने भ्रष्टताबाट उम्केर ईश्वरीय स्वभावमा सहभागी हुन सक भनेर उहाँले यस्तो गर्नुभयो ।
For it was through this that he gave us what we prize as the greatest of his promises, that through them you might participate in the divine nature, now that you have fled from the corruption in the world, resulting from human passions.
5 यसैकारण, तिमीहरूको विश्वासद्वारा सद्गुण, सद्गुणद्वारा ज्ञान थप्न सक्दो प्रयत्न गर ।
Yes, and for this reason do your best to supplement your faith by goodness, goodness by knowledge,
6 तिमीहरूको ज्ञानद्वारा आत्मसंयम र आत्मसंयमद्वारा सहनशीलता अनि सहनशीलताद्वारा ईश्वरभक्ति ।
knowledge by self-control, self-control by endurance, endurance by piety,
7 तिमीहरूको ईश्वरभक्तिद्वारा भातृ-स्नेह, र भातृ-स्नेहद्वारा प्रेम ।
piety by mutual affection, and mutual affection by love.
8 यदि यी कुरा तिमीहरूमा छन्, र तिमीहरूमा प्रशस्त हुँदै जान्छन् भने प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको ज्ञानमा तिमीहरू बाँझो वा निष्फल हुनेछैनौ ।
For, when these virtues are yours, in increasing measure, they prevent your being indifferent to, or destitute of, a fuller knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 तर जोसँग यी कुराको घटी छ र नजिकको वस्तु मात्र देख्छ भने, ऊ अन्धो हो । उसले पुरानो पापबाट धोइएको कुरालाई बिर्सेको हुन्छ ।
Surely the person who has not these virtues is shortsighted even to blindness, and has chosen to forget that they have been purified from their sins of the past!
10 त्यसकारण भाइ हो, आफ्नो बोलावट र चुनाउ निश्चित गर्नको लागि सक्दो प्रयास गर । तिमीहरूले त्यो गर्यौ भने, तिमीहरू लोट्नेछैनौ ।
Therefore, friends, do your best to put God’s call and selection of you beyond all doubt; for, if you do this, you will never fall.
11 त्यसकारण, हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टको अनन्त राज्यमा प्रवेशको निम्ति तिमीहरूले प्रशस्त अनुमति पाउनेछौ । (aiōnios )
For in this way you will be given a triumphant admission into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios )
12 यसैले, तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू थाहा भएर अहिले तिमीहरू यो सत्यतामा बलियो भए तापनि म तिमीहरूलाई यी कुराहरू सम्झाउन सधैँ तयार छु ।
I will, therefore, always be ready to remind you of all this, even though you know it and are firmly established in the truth that you now hold.
13 जबसम्म म यो शरीररूपी पालमा छु तिमीहरूलाई जागा राख्नु र यी कुराहरूको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई सम्झाउनु मेरो निम्ति असल हुन्छ भन्ने मलाई लाग्छ ।
But I think it my duty, as long as I live in this “tent,” to rouse you by awakening memories of the past;
14 किनकि मैले यो पाललाई चाँडै त्याग्दै छु भन्ने मलाई थाहा छ जुन कुरा हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टले यो मलाई देखाउनुभएको छ ।
for I know that the time for this “tent” of mine to be put away is soon coming, as our Lord Jesus Christ himself assured me.
15 मेरो प्रस्थानपछि पनि तिमीहरूले यी कुराहरू सधैँ सम्झन सक भनेर म सक्दो प्रयास गर्नेछु ।
So I will do my best to enable you, at any time after my departure, to call these truths to mind.
16 किनकि हामीले येशू ख्रीष्टको शक्ति र आगमनको बारेमा तिमीहरूलाई बताउँदा धूर्ततासँग रचिएका दन्त्यकथाहरूलाई पछ्याएनौँ, तर हामी उहाँको वैभवको प्रत्यक्ष साक्षी थियौँ ।
For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 उहाँले परमेश्वर पिताबाट आदर र महिमा प्राप्त गर्नुभयो, जब वैभवपूर्ण महिमाबाट यो स्वर आएको थियोः “यिनी मेरा प्रिय पुत्र हुन्, जोसित म धेरै खुसी छु ।”
For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy.”
18 हामी उहाँसित पवित्र डाँडामा हुँदा हामीले स्वर्गबाट आएको त्यो आवाज सुन्यौँ ।
These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from heaven, when we were with him on that sacred mountain.
19 हामीसँग भएको अगमवाणीको वचन अझ निश्चित भएको छ, जसलाई तिमीहरू पालना गर्न उत्तम प्रयास गर्छौ । यो उज्यालो नहुञ्जेल र तिमीहरूका हृदयमा बिहानको तारा नआउञ्जेल अन्धकारमा चम्कने बत्तीजस्तै छ ।
And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 तिमीहरूले पहिले यो जान कि लेखिएको भविष्यवाणी अगमवक्ताको आफ्नै तर्कबाट आउँदैन ।
But first be assured of this: There is no prophetic teaching found in scripture that can be interpreted by a person’s unaided reason;
21 किनकि कुनै पनि अगमवाणी मानिसहरूको इच्छाबाट आएन, तर परमेश्वरको तर्फबाट बोल्ने पवित्र आत्माद्वारा डोर्याइएका मानिसहरूबाट आयो ।
for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of people, but people, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
