< २ पत्रुस 2 >
1 इस्राएलीहरूकहाँ झुटा अगमवक्ताहरू आए, अनि तिमीहरूकहाँ पनि झुटा शिक्षकहरू आउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले आफूसँग गोप्य रूपमा विनाशसकारी झुटा शिक्षाहरू ल्याउनेछन् र तिनीहरूलाई उद्धार गर्नुहुने गुरुलाई पनि इन्कार गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले आफूमाथि चाँडै विनाश ल्याउनेछन् ।
But there arose false-prophets also among the people, as, among you also, there shall be, false-teachers, —men who will stealthily bring in destructive parties, even the Master that bought them, denying, bringing upon themselves speedy destruction;
2 धेरैले तिनीहरूको विलासी आचरणको अनुसरण गर्नेछन् र तिनीहरूद्वारा सत्यताको मार्ग निन्दित हुनेछ ।
And, many, will follow out their wanton ways, —by reason of whom, the way of truth, will be defamed,
3 लोभको कारण तिनीहरूले छलपूर्ण कुरा गरेर तिमीहरूबाट फाइदा उठाउनेछन् । तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा श्राप आउन लामो समय लाग्दैन । तिनीहरूको विनाश निष्क्रिय छैन ।
And, in greed, with forged words, will they, of you, make merchandise: for whom, the sentence from of old, is not idle, and, their destruction, doth not slumber.
4 किनकि परमेश्वरले पाप गर्ने स्वर्गदूतहरूलाई त छोड्नुभएन । बरु, तिनीहरूलाई तल पातालमा सुम्पिदिनुभयो र इन्साफ नहुन्जेलसम्म साङ्लाले बाँधेर घोर अन्धकारमा राखिदिनुभयो । (Tartaroō )
For—if, God, spared not, messengers, when they sinned, but, to pits of gloom, consigning them, in the lowest hades, delivered them up to be kept, unto judgment, — (Tartaroō )
5 अनि उहाँले प्राचीन संसारलाई पनि बाँकी राख्नुभएन । बरु, धार्मिकताका दूत नोआ र अरू सात जनालाई बचाउनुभयो र जल प्रलयद्वारा अधर्मी संसारको विनाश गर्नुभयो ।
And, an ancient world, spared not, but, with seven others, preserved, Noah, a proclaimer, of righteousness, a flood, upon a world of ungodly persons, letting loose, —
6 अनि अधर्मीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ भन्ने कुराको उदाहरणको निम्ति परमेश्वरले सदोम र गमोरा सहरहरूलाई खरानीमा परिणत गरिदिनुभयो र तिनीहरूलाई विनाशको निम्ति दोषी ठहराउनुभयो ।
And, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, reducing to ashes, he condemned, an example of such as should be ungodly, having set forth, —
7 तर उहाँले त्यसो गर्दा धर्मी लोतलाई बचाउनुभयो, जो अराजक र घिनलाग्दा मानिसहरूको व्यवहारको कारण निकै दुःखी थिए ।
And, righteous Lot, when getting worn out by the behaviour of them who were impious in wantonness, he rescued—
8 किनकि तिनीहरूसँग दिनदिनै बस्दा, तिनीहरूका बिचमा देखेका र सुनेका कुराहरूको कारण ती धर्मी मानिस आत्मामा व्याकुल भएका थिए ।
For, in seeing and hearing, since he dwelt right among them, as a righteous man, he used to torment his soul, day by day, with their lawless deeds—
9 त्यसैले, धर्मीहरूलाई परीक्षाबाट कसरी बचाउनुपर्छ र अधर्मीहरूलाई न्यायको दिनमा सजायको निम्ति कसरी तयारी राख्नुपर्छ भन्ने उहाँ जान्नुहुन्छ ।
[Then] the Lord knoweth how to rescue, the godly out of trial; but to keep, the unrighteous unto a day of judgment to be punished; —
10 यो विशेष गरी शरीरका भ्रष्ट इच्छाहरूमा जिउने र अधिकारलाई तुच्छ ठान्नेहरूको निम्ति हो । तिनीहरू हठी र स्वेच्छाचारी थिए । तिनीहरू महिमितहरूको निन्दा गर्न डराउँदैनन् ।
Most of all, however, them who go their way, after the flesh, with a coveting of defilement, and who despise, lordship, —daring! willful! before dignitaries, they tremble not, defaming,
11 स्वर्गदूतहरूसँग मानिसहरूसित भन्दा धेरै शक्ति र दक्षता छ, तर उनीहरूले प्रभुको अगाडि तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा निन्दापूर्ण न्याय ल्याउँदैनन् ।
where, messengers, though, greater in might and power, are not bringing against them [before the Lord] a defamatory accusation, —
12 तर यी अज्ञानी पशुहरू स्वाभाविक रूपमा नाश र नियन्त्रणको निम्ति बनाइएका हुन् । तिनीहरूले जे कुराको निन्दा गर्छन् त्यो जान्दैनन् । तिनीहरू नष्ट पारिनेछन् ।
These, however, as unreasoning creatures that have been bred as being, by nature, for capture and destruction, in the things they are ignorant of, uttering defamation, in their spoiling, shall also be made a spoil, —
13 आफैँले गरेका गलत कामहरूका परिणामले तिनीहरूलाई क्षति पुर्याउनेछ । तिनीहरू दिनमा आनन्दित रहन्छन् । तिनीहरू धब्बा र दागहरू हुन् । तिमीहरूसँग भोजमा बस्दा तिनीहरू आफ्ना छलमा आनन्द मनाउँछन् ।
Doing wrong themselves, for a reward of wrong, accounting, a delight, their day-time delicacy, spots and blemishes, indulging in delicacies with their stratagems, as they carouse together with you,
14 तिनीहरूका आँखा व्यभिचारले भरिएका हुन्छन्; तिनीहरू पाप गरेर कहिल्यै अघाउँदैनन् । तिनीहरूले अस्थिर मनलाई नराम्रो काममा लोभ्याउँछन्; तिनीहरूका मनले लोभमा तालिम पाएका हुन्छन् र तिनीहरू श्रापित सन्तान हुन् ।
Having, eyes, full of an adulteress, and that cannot rest from sin, enticing unstable souls, having, a heart trained in greed, —children of a curse, —
15 तिनीहरूले सही मार्गलाई त्यागेका छन् । तिनीहरू बरालिएर अधार्मिक कामको ज्याला लिन मन पराउने बोअरको छोरा बालामको पछि लाग्छन् ।
Forsaking a straight path, they have gone astray, following out the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved, a reward of wrong,
16 तर त्यसले आफ्नै अपराधको निम्ति हप्की पायो । एउटा नबोल्ने गधाले मानिसको आवाजमा बोलेर अगमवक्ताको पागलपनलाई रोकिदियो ।
But had, a reproof, of his own transgression, a dumb beast of burden, in man’s voice, finding utterance, forbade the prophet’s madness.
17 यी मानिसहरू मूलविनाको पानीजस्ता छन् । तिनीहरू आँधीले उडाई लैजाने बादलजस्ता छन् । तिनीहरूको निम्ति घोर अन्धकार साँचिएको छ ।
These, are fountains without water, and mists, by a tempest, driven along, —for whom, the gloom of darkness, hath been reserved;
18 तिनीहरू खोक्रो अहङ्कारसाथ बोल्छन् । तिनीहरू शारीरिक वासनाद्वारा मानिसहरूलाई प्रलोभनमा पार्छन् । खराबी गर्नेहरूदेखि भाग्न खोज्नेहरूलाई तिनीहरू प्रलोभनमा पार्छन् ।
For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings—in wanton ways—them who are, well-nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;
19 उनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई छुटकारा दिने प्रतिज्ञा गर्छन्, तर तिनीहरू आफैँ भ्रष्टताका दास हुन् । किनकि मान्छेलाई जुन कुराले जित्छ, ऊ त्यसैको दास बन्छ ।
Promising, freedom to them, they themselves, being all the while, slaves of corruption, —for, by whom one hath been defeated, by the same, hath he become enslaved, —
20 यदि कसैले हाम्रा प्रभु र मुक्तिदाता येशू ख्रीष्टलाई चिनेर यस संसारका दूषित गराउने कुराबाट उम्किसकेपछि पनि फेरि त्यहीँ फर्कन्छ भने त्यसको अवस्था पहिलेको भन्दा खराब हुन्छ ।
For, if, having escaped from the defilements of the world by a personal knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, but, by the same having again become entangled, they are defeated, the, last, state hath become, for them, worse than, the first;
21 धार्मिकताको मार्गलाई जानेर तिनीहरूलाई दिइएको पवित्र आज्ञाहरूबाट फर्कनुभन्दा त तिनीहरूले धार्मिकताको मार्ग नै नजानेको भए असल हुने थियो ।
For, better, had it been for them—not to have obtained a personal knowledge of the way of righteousness, than, having obtained such knowledge, to turn back out of the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 तिनीहरूका निम्ति यो उखान सत्य छः “कुकुर आफ्नै बान्तामा फर्किन्छ । नुहाइदिएको सुँगुर हिलैमा फर्किन्छ ।”
There hath befallen them the thing [spoken of] in the true proverb—A dog, turning back unto his own vomit, and—A sow, as soon as washed, unto wallowing in mire.
