कलस्सी 2
1 किनकि मैले तिमीहरू अर्थात् लाउडिकियामा भएकाहरू र शरीरमा मेरो अनुहार नदेखेकाहरू सबैका निम्ति गरेको धेरै ठुलो सङ्घर्षबारे तिमीहरूले जानेको म चाहन्छु ।
For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who have not seen me face to face.
2 प्रेम र समझको पूर्ण निश्चयताको प्रशस्ततामा र परमेश्वरको गुप्त सत्यताको ज्ञान अर्थात् ख्रीष्टमा तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू एक साथ ल्याइएर तिनीहरू उत्साहित होऊन् भनेर म काम गर्दछु ।
I want their hearts to be comforted and knit together in love, so that they may have all the riches of being fully assured in their understanding, and so that they may know the mystery of our God and Father and of Christ,
3 ज्ञान र बुद्धिका सबै सम्पत्तिहरू उहाँमा लुकाइएका छन् ।
in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.
4 म यो भन्छु, कि बहकाउने बोलीले कसैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई नछलोस् ।
I say this so that no one will deceive you with persuasive speech.
5 र म तिमीहरूसँग शरीरमा नभए तापनि, म तिमीहरूसँग आत्मामा छु । म तिमीहरूका सुव्यवस्था र ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूका विश्वासको शक्तिलाई देखेर आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
For though I am absent in body, I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ.
6 तिमीहरूले येशू ख्रीष्टलाई जुन प्रकारले प्राप्त गर्यौ, सोही प्रकारले उहाँमा हिँड ।
Therefore, just as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to walk in him,
7 तिमीहरूलाई सिकाइएको जस्तै गरी उहाँमा बलियोसँग जरा गाड, उहाँमा निर्माण हुँदै जाओ, विश्वासमा स्थापित होओ, र प्रशस्तसँग धन्यवाद देओ ।
being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
8 तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि दर्शनद्वारा र ख्रीष्टअनुसार नभई यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूअनुसार मानिसहरूका परम्पराको रित्तोपनको धोकाबाट वशमा पार्न नदेओ ।
Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men and the elements of the world, and not according to Christ.
9 किनकि उहाँमा परमेश्वरको पूर्णता शरीरमा बास गर्दछ ।
For all the fullness of God's nature dwells bodily in Christ,
10 र तिमीहरू उहाँमा पूर्ण रूपमा भरिएका छौ । उहाँ नै सबै शक्ति र अधिकारको शिर हुनुहुन्छ ।
and you have been filled by him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
11 उहाँमा नै तिमीहरूको खतना भएको थियो, जुन खतना मानिसहरूद्वारा मासुको शरीरमा गरिएको थिएन, तर यो ख्रीष्टमा गरिएको थियो ।
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not done by hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ.
12 तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै बप्तिस्मामा गाडिएका थियौ । र उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट ब्युँताउनुहुने परमेश्वरको शक्तिमाथि विश्वासद्वारा तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै ब्युँताइएका थियौ ।
Having been buried with him in baptism, you have also been raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 र जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना पाप र शरीरको बेखतनामा मरेका थियौ, उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँसँग जीवित पार्नुभयो र हाम्रा सबै पापहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुभयो ।
And although you were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses
14 उहाँले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका ऋणका लिखित अभियोगहरूलाई र त्यसका विनियमहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले यी सबैलाई हटाउनुभयो र क्रुसमा टाँगिदिनुभयो ।
by blotting out the certificate of debt that stood against us with its legal demands; he took it away by nailing it to the cross.
15 उहाँले शक्तिहरू र अधिकारवालाहरूलाई हटाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खुल्ला रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभयो र उहाँको क्रुसको माध्यमद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई विजय समारोहमा डोर्याउनुभयो ।
He stripped the rulers and authorities of their power and made a public display of them, leading a triumphal procession over them by the cross.
16 यसैकारण, अब कसैले तिमीहरूलाई खानेकुरा वा पिउनेकुरा वा चाडको दिनको बारेमा वा औंसी वा शबाथ-दिनको विषयमा दोष लगाउन नदेओ ।
Therefore let no one judge you in regard to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, a New Moon celebration, or a Sabbath day.
17 यिनीहरू आउनेवाला थोकहरूका छायाँ मात्र हुन् तर वास्तविकता ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance is Christ.
18 नम्रताको चाहना र स्वर्गदूतहरूको आराधनाद्वारा कसैको इनाम नखोसिएको होस् । यस्तो व्यक्तिले उसले देखेका कुराहरूमा मन लगाउँछ र उसको शारीरिक विचारद्वारा घमण्डी बन्दछ ।
Let no one who delights in false humility and angelic religion disqualify you. Such a person takes his stand on things he has not seen, being puffed up without reason by the mind of his flesh,
19 उसले शिरलाई पक्री राख्दैन । शिरबाट नै जोर्नीहरू र ग्रन्थिहरू हुँदै सम्पूर्ण शरीरमा आवश्यक तत्त्वहरू फैलाइन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ राखिन्छ; र शरीर परमेश्वरले दिनुभएको वृद्धिअनुसार बढ्दछ ।
while not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supported and knit together by its joints and tendons, grows with a growth that is from God.
20 यदि यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूप्रति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टसँगै मरेका छौ भने, किन तिमीहरू यस संसारमा समर्पित भएर जिउँछौ?
If you have died with Christ to the elements of the world, why, as though you were living in the world, do you submit to regulations such as,
21 “नसमात, नचाख, नछोऊ ।”
“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch”?
22 मानिसहरूका निर्देशनहरू र शिक्षाहरूअनुसार, यी सबै कुराहरू प्रयोगसँगै नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
Such regulations are based on the commandments and doctrines of men, and apply to things that will all decay with use.
23 यी नियमहरूमा मानिस आफैँले बनाएका धर्म र नम्रता र शरीरको कठोरताका ज्ञान छन् । तर शरीरको विलासिताको विरुद्धमा यिनीहरूको कुनै मोल छैन ।
Although these regulations have a semblance of wisdom in self-imposed piety, false humility, and severe treatment of the body, they are of no value in restraining fleshly indulgence.
