2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

पावल, परमेश्‍वरको इच्छा अनुसार येशू ख्रीष्‍टका प्रेरित, र हाम्रा भाइ तिमोथीबाट, कोरिन्थमा भएका परमेश्‍वरको मण्डली र अखैया प्रान्तमा रहेका सम्पूर्ण विश्‍वासीहरूलाई ।

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

हाम्रा पिता परमेश्‍वर र प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्‍टको अनुग्रह र शान्ति तिमीहरूमा रहेको होस् ।

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

हाम्रा पिता परमेश्‍वर येशू ख्रीष्‍टलाई प्रशंसा भएको होस् । उहाँ दयाका पिता र सबै सान्त्वनाका परमेश्‍वर हुनुहुन्छ ।

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

परमेश्‍वरले हाम्रा सारा दुःख कष्‍टमा हामीलाई सान्त्वना दिनुहुन्छ । त्यसैले, हामी पनि दुःखमा परेकाहरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन सक्छौँ । परमेश्‍वरले हामीलाई सान्त्वना दिनको निम्ति प्रयोग गर्नुभएको सान्त्वनाद्वारा नै हामी अरूलाई सान्त्वना दिन्छौँ ।

5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

जसरी हाम्रो निम्ति ख्रीष्‍टको कष्‍ट प्रशस्त छ, त्यसरी नै ख्रीष्‍टद्वारा हाम्रो सान्त्वना प्रशस्त हुन्छ ।

6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.

तर यदि हामीले दुःख भोग्यौँ भने यो तिमीहरूका सान्त्वना र उद्धारको निम्ति हो । र यदि हामीले सान्त्वना पायौँ भने यो तिमीहरूको सान्त्वनाको निम्ति हो । तिमीहरू हाम्रो दुःखमा धैर्यसाथ सहभागी हुँदा तिमीहरूको सान्त्वनाले प्रभावकारी रूपले काम गरिरहेको हुन्छ ।

7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.

तिमीहरूको निम्ति हाम्रो आशा दृढ छ । तिमीहरू दुःखमा सहभागी हुँदा सान्त्वनामा पनि सहभागी हुन्छौ भन्‍ने हामीलाई थाहा छ ।

8 For we do not desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.

भाइहरू हो, हामीले एसियामा भोगेका दुःखको बारेमा तिमीहरू अजान रहो भन्‍ने हामी चाहन्‍नौँ । हामीले सहन नसक्‍ने किसिमले हामी मिचिएका थियौँ, यति साह्रो कि हामीले बाँच्ने आशा नै मारेका थियौँ ।

9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,

वास्तवमा, हामीमाथि मृत्युदण्ड थियो । तर त्यो हामी आफैँमा होइन, मृतकहरूलाई जीवन दिनुहुने परमेश्‍वरमाथि भरोसा गर्न सकौँ भनेर भएको थियो ।

10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,

उहाँले हामीलाई त्यस्तो घातक जोखिमबाट बचाउनुभयो र फेरि पनि उहाँले हामीलाई बचाउनुहुनेछ । उहाँले हामीलाई फेरि पनि छुटाउनुहुनेछ भन्‍ने हामीले उहाँमा आशा राखेका छौँ ।

11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

उहाँले यसो गर्नुहुनेछ जसरी तिमीहरूले पनि हामीलाई आफ्ना प्रार्थनाद्वारा मदत गर्छौ । त्यसपछि धेरैको प्रार्थनाद्वारा हामीलाई दिइएको अनुग्रही कृपाको लागि धेरैले हाम्रो तर्फबाट धन्यवाद दिनेछन् ।

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

हाम्रो अन्तस्करणको गवाहीमा हामी गर्व गर्छौं । किनकि यो परमेश्‍वरबाट आउने शुद्ध प्रेरणा र इमानदारीमा छ जसअनुसार हामी यो संसारमा चलेका छौँ । विशेष गरी, हामीले यो तिमीहरूसँग अझ बढी गरेका छौँ, सांसारिक ज्ञानमा होइन, तर परमेश्‍वरको अनुग्रहमा ।

13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—

हामी तिमीहरूले पढ्न र बुझ्न नसक्‍ने गरी केही पनि लेख्दैनौँ । म आशा गर्छु, कि तिमीहरूले पूर्ण रूपले बुझ्नेछौ ।

14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

जसरी अहिले तिमीहरूले हामीलाई केही मात्रमा बुझ्यौ । येशू ख्रीष्‍टको दिनमा हामी तिमीहरूका निम्ति गर्व गर्ने कारण बन्‍नेछौँ, जसरी तिमीहरू हाम्रा कारण बन्‍नेछौ ।

15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,

यो कुरामा म निर्धक्‍क भएको कारण, तिमीहरूले दुईवटा भेटको लाभ उठाउन सक भनेर म तिमीहरूकहाँ अगाडि नै आउन चाहन्थेँ ।

16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.

माकेडोनिया जाँदा तिमीहरूकहाँ आएर भेटघाट गर्ने मैले योजना बनाउँदै थिएँ । माकेडोनियाको यात्रापछि म फेरि तिमीहरूलाई भेट्न चाहन्थेँ, र तिमीहरूले मलाई यहूदियाको बाटो हुँदै पठाएको चाहन्थेँ ।

17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”

जब मैले यस तरिकाले सोच्दै थिएँ, तब के म हिच्किचाएँ र? के मैले मानवीय मापनअनुसार योजनाहरू बनाएँ कि मैले एकै समयमा “हो” र “होइन” भनेँ र?

18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”

तर जसरी परमेश्‍वर विश्‍वासयोग्य हुनुहुन्छ, हामी एकैसाथ “हो” र “होइन” भन्दैनौँ ।

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

किनकि परमेश्‍वरका पुत्र येशू ख्रीष्‍ट जसलाई सिलास, तिमोथी र मैले तिमीहरूमाझ घोषणा गर्‍यौँ, जो चाहिँ “हो” र “होइन” हुनुहुन्‍न । बरु, उहाँ सदा “हो” हुनुहुन्छ ।

20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.

किनकि परमेश्‍वरका सबै प्रतिज्ञा उहाँमा “हो” नै हुन्छन् । यसैले, उहाँद्वारा नै हामीले परमेश्‍वरको महिमालाई “आमेन” भनेका छौँ ।

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,

अब परमेश्‍वर जसले हामीलाई तिमीहरूसँग ख्रीष्‍टमा दरिला पार्नुहुन्छ, उहाँले हामीलाई नियुक्ति गर्नुभयो ।

22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

उहाँले आफ्नो छाप हामीमा लगाउनुभयो र हामीलाई पछि दिने कुराको बैनाको रूपमा हाम्रो हृदयमा पवित्र आत्मा दिनुभयो ।

23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I did not come to Corinth.

बरु, मैले परमेश्‍वरलाई मेरो गवाहीको लागि पुकारेँ । त्यसैले, तिमीहरूलाई बचाउन सकूँ भनेर म कोरिन्थमा आइनँ ।

24 We do not control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

तिमीहरूको विश्‍वास कस्तो हुनुपर्छ भनेर हामीले नियन्‍त्रण गर्ने प्रयास गरेको कारण यसो भएको होइन । बरु, हामी तिमीहरूको आनन्दको निम्ति तिमीहरूसँग काम गरिरहेका छौँ जसरी तिमीहरू आफ्नो विश्‍वासमा अटल रहन्छौ ।
