फिलिप्पी 1

1 ख्रीष्‍ट येशूका दासहरू पावल र तिमोथीबाट, फिलिप्‍पीमा भएका ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा अलग गरिएकाहरू सबै, अनि बिशप र डिकनहरूलाई ।

[I], Paul, and Timothy, [who is with me, are] men who serve Christ Jesus. I [am writing this letter] to all [of you who are] pastors and deacons in Philippi [city] and to the rest of God’s people [there who have a close relationship] with Christ Jesus.

2 परमेश्‍वर हाम्रा पिता र प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्‍टबाट तिमीहरूलाई अनुग्रह र शान्ति ।

[We both] (OR, [I]) [pray that] God, [who is] our Father, and Jesus Christ, [who is our] Lord, [will continue to] be kind to you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.

3 हर समय तिमीहरूको सम्झना गर्दा, म मेरा परमेश्‍वरलाई धन्यवाद दिन्छु ।

I thank my God whenever I think about you.

4 तिमीहरू सबैका निम्ति मेरो हरेक प्रार्थनामा म आनन्दसाथ प्रार्थना गर्दछु ।

Every time [DOU] I pray [for you], I joyfully pray [DOU] for all of you.

5 पहिलो दिनदेखि अहिलेसम्म सुसमाचारमा तिमीहरूको सहभागिताको लागि म धन्यवाद दिन्छु ।

I [thank God and rejoice] because you have been [working] together with me in order to [make known] the good message about Christ. [You started doing that] when you first [MTY] [believed it, and you have continued doing it] until now.

6 म यो कुरामा निश्‍चित छु, कि तिमीहरूमा यो असल कामलाई प्रारम्भ गर्नुहुनेले येशू ख्रीष्‍टको दिनसम्म यसलाई पुरा गर्न निरन्तरता दिनुहुनेछ ।

I am completely confident that [God], who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since [God] has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] [returns].

7 तिमीहरू सबैका निम्ति मैले यस्तो प्रकारले विचार गर्नु मेरो निम्ति उचित छ, किनकि मैले तिमीहरू सबैलाई मेरो हृदयमा राखेको छु । मेरो कैदमा र सुसमाचारको समर्थन एवम् निश्‍चयता दुवैमा तिमीहरू सबै अनुग्रहमा मेरा साझेदारहरू भएका छौ ।

During this time that I have been a prisoner [MTY] and during the times I was previously able to defend the good message about Christ and proved/confirmed [to others] that it is true, all of you have been sharing with me (OR, have helped me) in this work [that God] kindly gave [to me to do. So] indeed it is right that I feel joyful about you all, because you are very dear [IDM] to me.

8 किनकि ख्रीष्‍ट येशूको प्रेमको गहिराइमा म तिमीहरूका निम्ति कति तृष्णा गर्दछु भन्‍ने कुरामा परमेश्‍वर मेरो साक्षी हुनुहुन्छ ।

God [can] verify that Christ Jesus causes me to [love and] long for all of you very much, [just like] Christ loves [you].

9 र मैले यस्तो भन्दै प्रार्थना गरिरहेको छु, कि ज्ञान र सम्पूर्ण समझमा तिमीहरूको प्रेम झनझन प्रशस्त हुँदै जाओस् ।

And what I pray [for you] is that [God will enable] you to truly know and learn how to love [one another] more and more in every situation.

10 म यसको निम्ति प्रार्थना गर्छु, ताकि जे असल छ ती कुराहरू तिमीहरूले पारख गरेर छान्‍न सक । म यसको निम्ति प्रार्थना गर्छु, ताकि तिमीहरू ख्रीष्‍टको दिनमा इमानदार र दोषरहित रहन सक ।

[And I pray that he will enable] you to completely understand [how you should believe and act]. I [pray this] in order that you might be [spiritually] pure and faultless (OR, completely faultless [DOU]) on the day that Christ [returns] [MTY],

11 यो यसको निम्ति पनि हो, ताकि परमेश्‍वरको महिमा र प्रशंसाको निम्ति, येशू ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा आउने धार्मिकताको फलद्वारा तिमीहरू भरिन सक ।

[and in order that] you might conduct your lives [IDM] completely righteously as a result of Jesus Christ [enabling you to do so], in order that [people will] honor God and praise him (OR, [people will] praise God very much [DOU]).

12 भाइ हो, अब तिमीहरूलाई यो थाहा होस् भन्‍ने म चाहन्छु, कि मलाई भएका यी सबै कुराहरूले सुसमाचारलाई धेरै अगाडि बढाउने काम भएको छ ।

My fellow believers, I want you to know that the [troubles] I have experienced [have not prevented me from proclaiming the good message to people. Instead], [these things that I have experienced] have enabled even more people to hear the good message [about Christ].

13 किनकि ख्रीष्‍टमा मेरा साङ्लाहरूका विषयमा महलभरिका सारा रक्षकदेखि अरू सबै मानिसलाई थाहा भएको छ ।

[Specifically], all the military guards who are stationed [here in Rome] and many other [HYP] [people in this city] [HYP] now know that I am a prisoner [MTY] because I [proclaim the good news] about Christ.

14 र परमप्रभुमा भएका धेरै भाइहरू मेरा साङ्लाहरूका कारण निडर भएर वचन बोल्ने आँट गर्न झनै बढी उत्साहित भएका छन् ।

Also, most of the believers [here now] proclaim the message from God more courageously and fearlessly [because] they trust the Lord [more firmly to help them. They trust the Lord more] because [they have seen how the Lord has helped me] while I have been a prisoner [MTY] [here].

15 कसै-कसैले त ईर्ष्या र बेमेलमा, र अरूहरूले सद्‌भावले पनि ख्रीष्‍टको प्रचार गरेका छन् ।

Some people proclaim [the message about Christ as I do] because they are happy [with my work]. They proclaim [the message about] Christ because they love [me and because] they know that [God] has placed me [here] to defend the message about Christ [CHI].

16 प्रेमले ख्रीष्‍टको प्रचार गर्नेहरूले सुसमाचारको समर्थन गरेको कारण मलाई यहाँ राखिएको छ भन्‍ने कुरा जान्दछन् ।

17 तर अरूहरूले ख्रीष्‍टको प्रचार स्वार्थ र निष्‍ठाहीन उद्देश्यले गर्दछन् । मेरा यी साङ्लाहरूका अवस्थामा तिनीहरूले मलाई अझै कष्‍ट दिइरहेका छन् भनी तिनीहरू विचार गर्छन् ।

Others proclaim [the message about] Christ because they envy [me] and oppose [me]. They proclaim the message about Christ because they have wrong motives. They [wrongly] assume [that because they are causing many people to follow them, I will be jealous, and as a result], I will feel more miserable while I am a prisoner [MTY] [here].

18 त्यसो भए के त? चाहे बहानामा होस् वा सत्यतामा दुवै तरिकाले ख्रीष्‍टको प्रचार हुन्छ, र म यसैमा रमाउँदछु । हो, म रमाउनेछु ।

But it does not matter whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have wrong motives, or whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have right motives. The important thing in either case is that [the message about] Christ is being proclaimed {people are proclaiming [the message about] Christ}. And because of that I rejoice! Philippians 1:18b-26 Furthermore, I will continue to rejoice,

19 किनकि मलाई थाहा छ, कि परिणामस्वरूप यसले मेरो निम्ति छुटकारा ल्याउनेछ । तिमीहरूको प्रार्थना र येशू ख्रीष्‍टको आत्माको सहायताको कारण यो हुनेछ ।

because when I experience troubles, I know that some day God will say that he approves [of what I have done] (OR, that [the Roman authorities] will set me free). [This will happen] as a result of your praying for me, and [as a result] of [God’s] Spirit, whom Jesus Christ gave me, helping me.

20 मेरो विश्‍वस्त आशा र निश्‍चयताअनुसार, म शर्ममा पर्नेछैनँ । बरु, सारा साहससँगै सधैँ जस्तै र अहिले पनि, चाहे मेरो जीवनद्वारा वा मृत्युद्वारा, ख्रीष्‍ट मेरो शरीरमा उचालिनुहुनेछ भन्‍ने म आशा गर्दछु ।

I [know that this will happen] because I very confidently expect [DOU] that I will faithfully honor Christ. I expect that like I always [have done], Christ will be greatly honored {I will continue now also to very boldly honor Christ} by means of all that I do [SYN, MTY], whether by [the way I] live or [by the way I] die.

21 किनकि मेरो निम्ति जिउनु ख्रीष्‍ट हो, र मर्नु लाभ हो ।

As for me, I live [in order to honor] Christ. But if I die, it will be better [for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him].

22 तर शरीरमा जिउनाले मेरो परिश्रमबाट प्रतिफल आउँछ भने, कुन कुरालाई चुन्‍ने भन्‍ने कुरा मलाई थाहा छैन ।

On the other hand, if I continue to live, that will enable me to continue to serve [Christ] effectively. As a result, I do not know which to choose.

23 किनकि मैले चयन गर्नुपर्ने यी दुवै कुराद्वारा म बिचमा परेको छु । म बिदा भएर ख्रीष्‍टसँग हुने इच्छा गर्दछु, जुनचाहिँ झनै असल कुरा हो ।

That is, I am not sure which of those two I [prefer]. I long to leave [this world] and [go to] be with Christ, because that will be very much better [for me].

24 तर तिमीहरूका निम्ति शरीरमा रहनुचाहिँ धेरै आवश्यक छ ।

Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive [than that I go to be with Christ because] you still need [me to help you].

25 यस कुरामा म निश्‍चित भएको कारणले म जान्दछु, कि विश्‍वासमा तिमीहरूको प्रगति र आनन्दको निम्ति म तिमीहरू सँग-सँगै रहेर निरन्तरता दिनेछु ।

Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain [alive] and that I will [go/come to] be with you all. [As a result], you will believe [in Christ] more firmly, and [as a result of that], you will rejoice.

26 परिणामस्वरूप, तिमीहरूकहाँ मेरो पुनः उपस्थितिको कारण तिमीहरूले ख्रीष्‍ट येशूलाई मेरो निम्ति महिमा दिने काम अझ धेरै प्रशस्त हुनेछ ।

[That is], you will be able to rejoice very greatly because of Christ Jesus [bringing] me [to be with you again].

27 ख्रीष्‍टको सुसमाचारको निम्ति योग्य हुने किसिमले मात्र आफ्नो जीवनयापन गर । चाहे म तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न आऊँ वा म उपस्थित नहोऊँ, यो गर, ताकि तिमीहरू एउटै आत्मामा दृढ भएर खडा भएका छौ भनेर तिमीहरूका विषयमा मैले सुन्‍न पाऊँ । सुसमाचारको विश्‍वासको निम्ति तिमीहरू मिलेर एउटै प्राणको भएर कडा परिश्रम गरिरहेका छौ भनेर सुन्‍ने मेरो चाहना छ ।

Most importantly, as fellow [believers in Christ], conduct yourselves just like [you learned you should do when you heard] the message about Christ. Do that in order that whether I come and see you, or whether [I am away from you and] people tell me about you, [what I hear or see will make me happy]. They will tell me that you are unitedly and cooperatively resisting [those who oppose the message about Christ] (OR, [oppose you]). I [will know] that you are not allowing others to influence you to believe a message that is different from the gospel [about Christ].

28 र तिमीहरूका शत्रुहरूले गरेका कुनै कुराहरूबाट भयभीत नहोओ । यो तिनीहरूका निम्ति तिनीहरूको विनाशको चिह्न हो । तर तिमीहरूका निम्ति यो तिमीहरूको मुक्‍तिको चिह्न हो, र यो परमेश्‍वरबाट आएको हो ।

And I [will know] that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that [God] will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that [God] will save you eternally. It is God who is doing [all] this.

29 किनकि ख्रीष्‍टको निम्ति यो तिमीहरूलाई दिइएको छ, उहाँमाथि विश्‍वास गर्न मात्र होइन, तर उहाँको निम्ति कष्‍ट भोग्‍न पनि ।

Remember that he has not only kindly enabled you to believe in Christ, [he] has also kindly allowed you to suffer for the sake of Christ.

30 किनकि जे तिमीहरूले ममा देख्यौ र अहिले मसँग छ भनी सुन्दछौ, त्यही सङ्घर्ष तिमीहरूसँग छ ।

[As a result], you are [having to] resist [those who oppose the good message], just like you saw that I [had to] resist [such people there in Philippi], and just like you hear that I [still have to resist such people here] now.
