२ कोरिन्थी 10

1 म पावल आफैँ तिमीहरूलाई येशू ख्रीष्‍टको नम्रता र विनम्रतामा आग्रह गर्दछु । म तिमीहरूको उपस्थितिमा हुँदा नम्र हुन्छु, तर जब म टाढा हुन्छु, तब म तिमीहरूप्रति साहसी हुन्छु ।

Now I Paul, myself, entreat you by the humility and gentleness of Christ, I who in your presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

2 म तिमीहरूसँग बिन्‍ती गर्दछु, कि तिमीहरूसँग म उपस्थित हुँदा, मलाई आत्म-विश्‍वासका साथ साहसी हुन आवश्यक पर्नेछैन । तर मेरो विचारमा हामी शरीरअनुसार बाँचिरहेका छौँ भनी ठान्‍नेहरूको विरोध गर्दा म साहसी हुन आवश्यक पर्नेछ ।

Yes, I beg you that I may not, when present, show courage with the confidence with which I intend to be bold against some, who consider us to be walking according to the flesh.

3 हामी शरीरमा हिँडे तापनि हामी शरीरअनुसार युद्ध लड्दैनौँ ।

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;

4 हामीले लडाइँ लड्ने हतियार शारीरिक होइन, बरु तिनीहरूसँग किल्लाहरू नष्‍ट गर्न सक्‍ने ईश्‍वरीय शक्‍ति छ । तिनीहरूले बहकाउने विवादहरूलाई बेकारको तुल्याउँछन् ।

for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds,

5 हामी पनि परमेश्‍वरको ज्ञानको विरुद्धमा खडा हरेक उच्‍च कुरालाई नष्‍ट गर्दछौँ । हामी हरेक विचारलाई ख्रीष्‍टको आज्ञाकारितामा कैद गर्छौं ।

throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

6 तिमीहरूको आज्ञाकारिता पुरा हुनासाथ हामी हरेक अनाज्ञाकारिताका कामहरूलाई दण्ड दिन तयार हुँदै छौँ ।

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.

7 जे कुरा तिमीहरूको अगाडि स्पष्‍ट छ, त्यसलाई हेर । यदि कसैले ऊ ख्रीष्‍टको हो भन्‍ने कुरामा विश्‍वस्त छ भने, ऊ ख्रीष्‍टको भए जस्तैहामी पनि ख्रीष्‍टका हौँ भन्‍ने कुरा आफैँलाई याद दिलाओस् ।

Do you look at things only as they appear in front of your face? If anyone trusts in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again with himself, that even as he is Christ’s, so we also are Christ’s.

8 किनकि जसले तिमीहरूलाई नाश गर्न नभई तिमीहरूलाई निर्माण गर्न हामीलाई प्रभुले दिनुभएको हाम्रो अधिकारको बारेमा मैले केही ज्यादा नै घमण्ड गरेँ भने पनि म लज्‍जित हुनेछैन ।

For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

9 मेरा पत्रहरूद्वारा म तिमीहरूलाई भयभीत तुल्याउँदै छु भन्‍ने देखाउन चाहन्‍नँ ।

that I may not seem as if I desire to terrify you by my letters.

10 तर केही मानिसहरू भन्छन्, “त्यसका पत्रहरू गम्भीर र शक्‍तिशाली छन्, तर त्यो शारीरिक रूपमा कमजोर छ । त्यसका वचनहरू सुन्‍न योग्यका छैनन् ।”

For, “His letters”, they say, “are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is despised.”

11 त्यस्ता मानिसहरू यो कुरामा सचेत रहून्, कि हाम्रो अनुपस्थितिमा हाम्रा पत्रहरूका वचनमा हामी जस्ता छौँ हामी त्यहाँ हुँदा पनि हाम्रा कामद्वारा हामी त्यस्तै हुनेछौँ ।

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

12 हामी आफ्नो प्रशंसा आफैँ गर्ने मानिसहरूको समूहमा रहन वा तिनीहरूसँग आफैँलाई तुलना गर्ने हदसम्म हामी जाँदैनौँ । तर जब तिनीहरूले आफैँलाई एक अर्कासँग नापेर हेर्छन्, र एक अर्कासँग तुलना गर्दछन्, तिनीहरूसँग अन्तर्दृष्‍टि हुँदैन ।

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

13 तर हामी सीमाभन्दा बाहिर गएर घमण्ड गर्नेछैनौँ । बरु, परमेश्‍वरले नियुक्त गरिदिनुभएका सीमाहरूभित्र मात्र हामी त्यसो गर्दछौँ, जुन सीमा तिमीहरूसम्म पुग्दछ ।

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

14 किनकि तिमीहरूकहाँ आउँदा हामीले आफैँलाई बढी ठानेनौँ । सुसमाचार लिएर तिमीहरूकहाँ पहिलो पटक आउने हामी नै थियौँ ।

For we do not stretch ourselves too much, as though we did not reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

15 हामीले अरूको परिश्रमको बारेमा सीमाभन्दा बढी घमण्ड गरेका छैनौँ । बरु, हामी आशा गर्छौं, कि तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास बढ्दा हाम्रो कामको दायरा पनि बृहत् रूपमा फैलनेछ, तापनि यो उचित सीमाभित्र नै रहनेछ ।

not boasting beyond proper limits in other men’s labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

16 हामी यसको आशा गर्दछौँ, ताकि तिमीहरूभन्दा परका क्षेत्रहरूमा पनि हामी सुसामाचार प्रचार गर्न सकौँ । अरूको क्षेत्रमा भइरहेको कामको बारेमा हामी घमण्ड गर्दैनौँ ।

so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

17 “तर घमण्ड गर्नेले परमप्रभुमा घमण्ड गरोस् ।”

But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

18 किनकि आफ्नो सिफारिस आफैँ गर्ने मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिँदैन । बरु, परमप्रभुले सिफारिस गरेको मानिसलाई स्वीकार गरिन्छ ।

For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
