< २ तिमोथी 2 >
1 त्यसैकारण, मेरा बालक, येशू ख्रीष्टमा भएको अनुग्रहमा बलियो होऊ ।
You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 र धेरै गवाहीको माझमा तिमीले जे कुरा मबाट सुनेका छौ, अरूलाई पनि सिकाउन सक्ने विश्वासयोग्य मानिसहरूलाई सुम्पिदेऊ ।
All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, be competent to instruct others also.
3 येशू ख्रीष्टको असल सिपाहीझैँ मसँग कष्ट भोग ।
As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering.
4 सेनामा भर्ना भएको कुनै पनि जवान आफ्नो जीवनको अन्य काममा लाग्दैन, ताकि उसले आफ्नो हाकिमलाई खुसी पार्न सकोस् ।
Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming entangled in the world's business--so that he may satisfy the officer who enlisted him.
5 कोही खेलमा भाग लिन्छ भने, उसले नियमअनुसार नखेली मुकुट जित्न सक्दैन ।
And if any one takes part in an athletic contest, he gets no prize unless he obeys the rules.
6 परिश्रम गर्ने किसानले नै आफ्नो बालीको पहिले भाग प्राप्त गर्नुपर्छ ।
The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get a share of the crop.
7 मैले भनेका कुरामा विचार गर, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिमीलाई सबै कुरामा समझशक्ति दिनुहुनेछ ।
Mark well what I am saying: the Lord will give you discernment in everything.
8 मैले सुसमाचारको सन्देशमा भनेअनुसार दाऊदको वंशबाट आउनुभएका येशू ख्रीष्टको सम्झना गर ।
Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.
9 जुन कुराको लागि मैले अपराधीझैँ बन्धनमा पर्ने अवस्थासम्म कष्ट भोगेँ । तर परमेश्वरको वचन बन्धनमा परेको छैन ।
For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned.
10 त्यसैकारण चुनिएकाहरूका लागि म सबै कुरा सहन्छु, ताकि तिनीहरूले अनन्तको महिमाका साथ येशू ख्रीष्टमा भएको मुक्ति प्राप्त गरून् । (aiōnios )
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation--even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus--and with it eternal glory. (aiōnios )
11 यो भनाइ भरोसायोग्य छः “हामी उहाँसँगै मर्यौँ भने, हामी उहाँसँगै जीवित पनि हुनेछौँ ।
Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall also live with Him;
12 हामीले सह्यौँ भने, हामीले उहाँसँगै राज्य गर्नेछौँ । हामीले उहाँलाई इन्कार गर्यौँ भने, उहाँले पनि हामीलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुन्छ ।
"If we patiently endure pain, we shall also share His Kingship; "If we disown Him, He will also disown us;
13 हामी उहाँमा विश्वासयोग्य भएनौँ भने, उहाँ विश्वासयोग्य हुनुहुन्छ, किनकि उहाँले आफैलाई इन्कार गर्नुहुन्न ।
"And even if our faith fails, He remains true--He cannot prove false to Himself."
14 तिनीहरूलाई यी कुराहरूको निरन्तर सम्झना दिलाऊ । शब्दहरूमा तर्क-वितर्क नगर भनी तिनीहरूलाई परमेश्वरको अगाडि चेतावनी देओ, किनभने तिनीहरूले केही फाइदा गर्दैनन् र यी कुराहरू सुन्नेहरूलाई नोक्सान मात्र पुग्छ ।
Bring all this to men's remembrances, solemnly charging them in the presence of God not to waste time in wrangling about mere words, a course which is altogether unprofitable and tends only to the ruin of the hearers.
15 सत्यको वचनलाई होसियारीसाथ प्रयोग गर्ने शर्माउन नपर्ने कामदारजस्तै परमेश्वरको उपस्थितिमा स्वीकारयोग्य हुन भरमग्दुर प्रयत्न गर ।
Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, has no reason to feel any shame.
16 भक्तिहीन कुरालाई त्याग, जसले तिमीहरूलाई अझ धेरै भक्तिहीनतातर्फ डोर्याउँछ ।
But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety,
17 तिनीहरूको वचन निको नहुने सइनको घाउजस्तै फैलिनेछ । तिनीहरूमध्ये हुमेनियस र फिलेतस हुन् ।
and their teaching will spread like a running sore. Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp.
18 ती मानिसहरू सत्यताबाट टाढा हराइरहेका छन् र तिनीहरूले येशूको पुनरुत्थान पहिले नै भइसकेको छ भनेर भन्दछन्, र तिनीहरूमध्ये कतिको विश्वासलाई खल्बल्याइरहेका छन् ।
In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing the faith of some.
19 तथापि यस छाप सहितको परमेश्वरको दृढ जग स्थिर रहन्छ, “प्रभुले आफ्नाहरूलाई चिन्नुहुन्छ” र “जसले उहाँको नाउँ लिन्छ, त्यो सबै अधर्मबाट टाढा रहोस्” ।
Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, "The Lord knows those who really belong to Him." And this also, "Let every one who names the Name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."
20 सम्पन्न घरमा सुन र चाँदीका भाँडाहरू मात्र हुदैनन्, तर त्यहाँ माटा र काठका भाँडा पनि हुन्छन्, र कति आदर र कति अनादरको निम्ति प्रयोग हुन्छन् ।
Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use.
21 कसैले अनादरयोग्य प्रयोगबाट आफैलाई शुद्ध पार्दछ भने, ऊ अलग गरिएको, मालिकको लागि उपयोगी र हरेक असल कामको लागि तयार भएको आदरको भाँडो हुन्छ ।
If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work.
22 जवानीको अभिलाषाबाट अलग बस, र शुद्ध हृदयले परमेश्वरलाई पुकार्नेहरूसँगै धार्मिकता, विश्वास, प्रेम, शान्तिको खोजी गर ।
Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts.
23 तर मूर्ख र अज्ञानी प्रश्नहरूले वादविवाद ल्याउँछन् भन्ने जानेर तिनबाट अलग बस ।
But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing--as you do--that these lead to quarrels;
24 परमेश्वरका सेवकहरूले झगडा गर्नुहुँदैन, तर तिनीहरू सबैका लागि दयालु, सिकाउन सक्ने र धैर्यवान् हुनुपर्दछ ।
and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, and patient under wrongs.
25 उहाँका विरोधीहरूलाई विनम्रतामा सुधार्ने हुनुपर्छ । सायद परमेश्वरले तिनीहरूलाई सत्यताको ज्ञानको लागि पश्चात्ताप दिनुहुनेछ ।
He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth
26 अनि दुष्टले आफ्नो इच्छा पुरा गर्नको लागि पारेको पासोबाट उम्किएर तिनीहरूको चेतना फर्किनेछ ।
and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, though they are now entrapped by him to do his will.
