< रोमी 12 >
1 यसकारण, भाइहरू हो, परमेश्वरको कृपाद्वारा म तिमीहरूलाई बिन्ती गर्दछु, कि आ-आफ्ना शरीरलाई पवित्र र परमेश्वरमा ग्रहणयोग्य जिउँदो बलिको रूपमा अर्पण गर । यो नै तिमीहरूको उचित सेवा हो ।
Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
2 यस संसारको ढाँचाअनुसार नचल, तर आफ्नो मनलाई नयाँ बनाई पूर्ण रूपमा परिवर्तित होओ । परमेश्वरको असल, ग्रहणयोग्य र सिद्ध इच्छा के हो भनी जान्न यसो गर । (aiōn )
Do not be conformed to this age (aiōn ), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
3 किनभने मलाई दिइएको अनुग्रहअनुसार म यो कुरा भन्छु, कि तिमीहरूमध्ये कसैले पनि आफूलाई जस्तो ठान्नुपर्ने हो सोभन्दा बढी नठानोस् । बरु, परमेश्वरले हरेकलाई दिनुभएको विश्वासको नापबमोजिम बुद्धिमानी ढङ्गले सोच्नुपर्छ ।
For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
4 किनभने हाम्रो एउटा शरीरमा धेरै अङ्गहरू छन्, तर अङ्गहरूको काम एउटै हुँदैन ।
For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members do not have the same function,
5 त्यसरी नै, हामीहरू जो धेरै छौँ ख्रीष्टमा एउटै शरीर हौँ, र हामी सबै एक-अर्काका अङ्गहरू हौँ ।
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
6 हामीलाई दिइएको अनुग्रहअनुसार हामीसँग फरक-फरक वरदानहरू छन् । यदि कसैको वरदान अगमवाणी हो भने, उसको विश्वासको परिमाणअनुसार गरोस् ।
having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
7 यदि कसैको वरदान सेवाको हो भने, त्यसले सेवा गरोस् । यदि कसैसँग सिकाउने वरदान छ भने, त्यसले सिकाओस् ।
or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
8 यदि कसैको वरदान उत्साह दिने हो भने, त्यसले उत्साह देओस् । यदि कसैको वरदान दिने छ भने, त्यसले उदारतासाथ गरोस् । यदि कसैको वरदान अगुवाइ गर्ने हो भने, त्यसले होसियारीसाथ गरोस् । यदि कसैको वरदान दया गर्ने हो भने, त्यसले यो प्रसन्न भएर गरोस् ।
or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 प्रेम निष्कपट होस् । जे खराब छ, त्यसलाई घृणा गर; जे असल छ, त्यसमा लागिरहो ।
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
10 दाजुभाइहरूबिच हुने प्रेमको सम्बन्धमा चाहिँ एक-अर्काप्रति स्नेही बन । आदर गर्ने सम्बन्धमा एक-अर्कालाई आदर गर ।
In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
11 लगनशीलताको सम्बन्धमा नहिच्किचाओ । आत्माको सन्बन्धमा उत्सुक होओ । प्रभुको सम्बन्धमा उहाँको सेवा गर ।
not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
12 तिमीहरूमा भएको भविष्यप्रतिको निश्चयताको बारेमा आनन्द मनाओ । दुःखमा धैर्य गर । निरन्तर प्रार्थना गर्दै रहो ।
rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
13 विश्वासीहरूका खाँचाहरूमा बाँड-चुँड गर । अतिथि सत्कारको निम्ति धेरै उपायहरूको खोजी गर ।
contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
14 तिमीहरूलाई सताउनेहरूलाई आशिष् देओ; श्राप नदेओ ।
Bless those who persecute you; bless, and do not curse.
15 आनन्द गर्नेहरूसँग आनन्द मनाओ; रुनेहरूसँग रोओ ।
Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
16 एक अर्काप्रति एउटै मनका होओ । अभिमानी तरिकाले नसोच, तर नम्रहरूलाई स्वीकार गर । आफ्नै विचारमा बुद्धिमान् नहोओ ।
Be of the same mind one toward another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own conceits.
17 खराबीको सट्टा खराबी नगर । सबै मानिसको नजरमा असल गर ।
Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
18 सम्भव भए, तपाईंको हकमा भएसम्म सबैसँग शान्तिमा बस ।
If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
19 प्रिय हो, आफैँले बदला नलेओ, तर परमेश्वरको क्रोधमा छोडिदेओ । किनकि लेखिएको छ, “बदला लिने काम मेरो हो; मैले बदला लिनेछु”, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
Do not seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 “तर तिम्रो शत्रु भोकाएको छ भने, उसलाई खान देऊ । ऊ तिर्खाएको छ भने, उसलाई पिउन देऊ । किनकि तिमीले यसो गर्यौ भने तिमीले उसको टाउकोमा आगोको भुङ्ग्रो खन्याउनेछौ ।”
Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 खराबीबाट पराजित नहोओ, तर खराबीलाई भलाइले जित ।
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
