< 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 ।
I entreat you, then, friends, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, for this is your rational worship.
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 conform to the fashion of this world; but be transformed by the complete change that has come over your minds, so that you may discern what God’s will is – all that is good, acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn )
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 ।
In fulfilment of the charge with which I have been entrusted, I tell every one of you not to think more highly of themselves than they ought to think, but to think until they learn to think soberly – in accordance with the measure of faith that God has allotted to each.
4 किनभने हाम्रो एउटा शरीरमा धेरै अङ्गहरू छन्, तर अङ्गहरूको काम एउटै हुँदैन ।
For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function,
5 त्यसरी नै, हामीहरू जो धेरै छौँ ख्रीष्टमा एउटै शरीर हौँ, र हामी सबै एक-अर्काका अङ्गहरू हौँ ।
so we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.
6 हामीलाई दिइएको अनुग्रहअनुसार हामीसँग फरक-फरक वरदानहरू छन् । यदि कसैको वरदान अगमवाणी हो भने, उसको विश्वासको परिमाणअनुसार गरोस् ।
Since our gifts differ in accordance with the particular charge entrusted to us, if our gift is to preach, let our preaching correspond to our faith;
7 यदि कसैको वरदान सेवाको हो भने, त्यसले सेवा गरोस् । यदि कसैसँग सिकाउने वरदान छ भने, त्यसले सिकाओस् ।
if it is to minister to others, let us devote ourselves to our ministry; the teacher to their 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 ।
the counselor to their counsel. Let the person who gives in charity do so with a generous heart; let the person who is in authority exercise due diligence; let the person who shows kindness do so in a cheerful spirit.
9 प्रेम निष्कपट होस् । जे खराब छ, त्यसलाई घृणा गर; जे असल छ, त्यसमा लागिरहो ।
Let your love be sincere. Hate the wrong; cling to the right.
10 दाजुभाइहरूबिच हुने प्रेमको सम्बन्धमा चाहिँ एक-अर्काप्रति स्नेही बन । आदर गर्ने सम्बन्धमा एक-अर्कालाई आदर गर ।
In the love of the community of the Lord’s followers, be affectionate to one another; in showing respect, set an example of deference to one another;
11 लगनशीलताको सम्बन्धमा नहिच्किचाओ । आत्माको सन्बन्धमा उत्सुक होओ । प्रभुको सम्बन्धमा उहाँको सेवा गर ।
never flagging in zeal; fervent in spirit; serving the Master;
12 तिमीहरूमा भएको भविष्यप्रतिको निश्चयताको बारेमा आनन्द मनाओ । दुःखमा धैर्य गर । निरन्तर प्रार्थना गर्दै रहो ।
rejoicing in your hope; steadfast under persecution; persevering in prayer;
13 विश्वासीहरूका खाँचाहरूमा बाँड-चुँड गर । अतिथि सत्कारको निम्ति धेरै उपायहरूको खोजी गर ।
relieving the wants of Christ’s people; devoted to hospitality.
14 तिमीहरूलाई सताउनेहरूलाई आशिष् देओ; श्राप नदेओ ।
Bless your persecutors – bless and never curse.
15 आनन्द गर्नेहरूसँग आनन्द मनाओ; रुनेहरूसँग रोओ ।
Rejoice with those who are rejoicing, and weep with those who are weeping.
16 एक अर्काप्रति एउटै मनका होओ । अभिमानी तरिकाले नसोच, तर नम्रहरूलाई स्वीकार गर । आफ्नै विचारमा बुद्धिमान् नहोओ ।
Let the same spirit of sympathy animate you all, not a spirit of pride; enjoy the company of ordinary people. Do not think too highly of yourselves.
17 खराबीको सट्टा खराबी नगर । सबै मानिसको नजरमा असल गर ।
Never return injury for injury. Aim at doing what everyone will recognise as honourable.
18 सम्भव भए, तपाईंको हकमा भएसम्म सबैसँग शान्तिमा बस ।
If it is possible, as far as rests with you, live peaceably with everyone.
19 प्रिय हो, आफैँले बदला नलेओ, तर परमेश्वरको क्रोधमा छोडिदेओ । किनकि लेखिएको छ, “बदला लिने काम मेरो हो; मैले बदला लिनेछु”, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
Never avenge yourselves, dear friends, but make way for the wrath of God; for scripture declares – “‘It is for me to avenge, I will requite,’ 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 ।”
Rather – “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him to drink. By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 खराबीबाट पराजित नहोओ, तर खराबीलाई भलाइले जित ।
Never be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
