कलस्सी 4

1 मालिक हो, आफ्ना नोकरहरूलाई जे सही र उचित छ त्यही देओ । तिमीहरू यो जान्दछौ, कि तिमीहरूका पनि मालिक स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ ।

You masters, supply your servants with what is just and equitable, knowing that you, too, have a Master in heaven.

2 दृढतापूर्वक निरन्तर प्रार्थनामा लागिरहो, र धन्यवादसाथ प्रार्थनामा जागा रहो ।

Pursue prayer. Be watchful in prayer with acts of thanksgiving.

3 हाम्रो निम्ति पनि सँगसँगै प्रार्थना गर, ताकि ख्रीष्‍टको गुप्‍त सत्यताको वचन बोल्नको निम्ति परमेश्‍वरले ढोका खोलिदिनुभएको होस् । यही वचनको कारण, म बाँधिएको छु ।

Pray together, for us also, so that God may open a door of speech to us, so as to speak the mystery of Christ, (because of which, even now, I am in chains)

4 जसरी मैले बोल्नुपर्ने हो, त्यसरी नै मैले यसलाई स्पष्‍टपार्न सकूँ भनेर प्रार्थना गर ।

so that I may manifest it in the manner that I ought to speak.

5 बाहिरकाहरूसँग बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक व्यवहार गर्दै हिँड, अनि तिमीहरूको समयलाई बुद्धिमानीपूर्वक प्रयोग गर ।

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming this age.

6 तिमीहरूका वचनहरू सधैँ अनुग्रहसहित होस् । तिनीहरू नुनले स्वादिलो पारिएको जस्तै होऊन्, र हरेक मानिसलाई तिमीहरूले कसरी जवाफ दिनुपर्छ, सो तिमीहरूले जान्‍न सक ।

Let your speech be ever graceful, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to respond to each person.

7 तुखिकसले मेरो बारेमा सबै कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई बताउनेछन् । तिनीचाहिँ मेरा प्रिय भाइ, विश्‍वासयोग्य दास र प्रभुमा सङ्गी सेवक हुन् ।

As for the things that concern me, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make everything known to you.

8 यही कार्यको निम्ति मैले तिनलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएँ, ताकि तिमीहरूले हामीहरूको विषयमा जान्‍न सक, र तिनले तिमीहरूका हृदयलाई प्रोत्साहित पार्न सकून् ।

I have sent him to you for this very purpose, so that he may know the things that concern you, and may console your hearts,

9 तिमीहरूमध्येका एक, विश्‍वासयोग्य र प्रिय भाइ ओनेसिमससँगै मैले तिनलाई तिमीहरूकहाँ पठाएँ । तिनीहरूले यहाँ भएका सबै कुराहरू तिमीहरूलाई बताउँनेछन् ।

with Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is from among you. They shall make known to you everything that is happening here.

10 मेरा सङ्गी कैदी अरिस्तार्खसले तिमीहरूलाई आफ्नो अभिवादन पठाएका छन्, र बारनाबासका भानिज मर्कूसको पनि अभिवादन छ, जसको बारेमा तिमीहरूले आदेश पाइसकेका छौ, “यदि उनी तिमीहरूकहाँ आए भने उनलाई स्वागत गर,”

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, the near cousin of Barnabas, about whom you have received instructions, (if he comes to you, receive him)

11 र युस्तस भनिने येशूले पनि अभिवादन पठाएका छन् । परमेश्‍वरको राज्यका निम्ति खतनाका मेरा सहकर्मीहरू यिनीहरू मात्रै हुन् । तिनीहरू मेरा निम्ति सान्त्वनाका पात्र भएका छन् ।

and Jesus, who is called Justus, and those who are of the circumcision. These alone are my assistants, unto the kingdom of God; they have been a consolation to me.

12 इपाफ्रासले तिमीहरूलाई अभिवादन गरेका छन् । यिनी पनि तिमीहरूमध्येकै एक जना हुन् र ख्रीष्‍ट येशूका दास हुन् । यिनी तिमीहरूका निम्ति सधैँ प्रार्थनामा परिश्रमसाथ लागिरहन्छन्, ताकि परमेश्‍वरको इच्छाअनुसार तिमीहरू सम्पूर्ण रूपले निश्‍चित भई खडा हुन सक ।

Epaphras greets you, who is from among you, a servant of Christ Jesus, ever solicitous for you in prayer, so that you may stand, perfect and complete, in the entire will of God.

13 यो कुरामा म तिनको साक्षी भएको छु, कि उनी तिमीहरूका लागि र लाउडिकियामा भएकाहरू अनि हिरापोलिसमा भएकाहरूका खातिर कडा परिश्रम गर्छन् ।

For I offer testimony to him, that he has labored greatly for you, and for those who are at Laodicea, and for those at Hierapolis.

14 प्रिय चिकित्सक लूका र डेमासले तिमीहरूलाई अभिवादन पठाएका छन् ।

Luke, a most beloved physician, greets you, as does Demas.

15 लाउडिकियामा भएका भाइहरू, र नुम्फास, र तिनको घरमा भएको मण्डलीलाई पनि अभिवादन गर ।

Greet the brothers who are at Laodicea, and Nymphas, and those who are at his house, a church.

16 जब यो पत्र तिमीहरूका बिचमा पढिनेछ, त्यसपछि लाउडिकियाको मण्डलीमा पनि यो पढ्नू र लाउडिकियाबाट आउने पत्र पनि तिमीहरूले पढ्नू ।

And when this epistle has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and you should read that which is from the Laodiceans.

17 अर्खिप्पसलाई भन, “तिमीले प्रभुमा पाएको सेवा-कार्य र यसलाई पुरा गर्नुपर्ने कुरालाई ध्यान देऊ ।”

And tell Archippus: “See to the ministry that you have received in the Lord, in order to fulfill it.”

18 यो अभिवादनको पत्र म पावलको आफ्नै हातले लेखेको हुँ । मेरा साङ्लाहरूलाई याद गर । तिमीहरूमा अनुग्रह होस् ।

The greeting of Paul by my own hand. Remember my chains. May grace be with you. Amen.
