< Colossians 2 >

1 For I would have you know, what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea, and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh:
किनकि मैले तिमीहरू अर्थात् लाउडिकियामा भएकाहरू र शरीरमा मेरो अनुहार नदेखेकाहरू सबैका निम्ति गरेको धेरै ठुलो सङ्घर्षबारे तिमीहरूले जानेको म चाहन्छु ।
2 That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity, and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus:
प्रेम र समझको पूर्ण निश्‍चयताको प्रशस्ततामा र परमेश्‍वरको गुप्‍त सत्यताको ज्ञान अर्थात् ख्रीष्‍टमा तिनीहरूका हृदयहरू एक साथ ल्याइएर तिनीहरू उत्साहित होऊन् भनेर म काम गर्दछु ।
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
ज्ञान र बुद्धिका सबै सम्पत्तिहरू उहाँमा लुकाइएका छन् ।
4 Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words.
म यो भन्छु, कि बहकाउने बोलीले कसैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई नछलोस् ।
5 For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you; rejoicing, and beholding your order, and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ.
र म तिमीहरूसँग शरीरमा नभए तापनि, म तिमीहरूसँग आत्मामा छु । म तिमीहरूका सुव्यवस्था र ख्रीष्‍टमा तिमीहरूका विश्‍वासको शक्‍तिलाई देखेर आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
6 As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him;
तिमीहरूले येशू ख्रीष्‍टलाई जुन प्रकारले प्राप्‍त गर्‍यौ, सोही प्रकारले उहाँमा हिँड ।
7 Rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned, abounding in him in thanksgiving.
तिमीहरूलाई सिकाइएको जस्तै गरी उहाँमा बलियोसँग जरा गाड, उहाँमा निर्माण हुँदै जाओ, विश्‍वासमा स्थापित होओ, र प्रशस्तसँग धन्यवाद देओ ।
8 Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy, and vain deceit; according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ:
तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि दर्शनद्वारा र ख्रीष्‍टअनुसार नभई यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूअनुसार मानिसहरूका परम्पराको रित्तोपनको धोकाबाट वशमा पार्न नदेओ ।
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally;
किनकि उहाँमा परमेश्‍वरको पूर्णता शरीरमा बास गर्दछ ।
10 And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power:
र तिमीहरू उहाँमा पूर्ण रूपमा भरिएका छौ । उहाँ नै सबै शक्‍ति र अधिकारको शिर हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand, in despoiling of the body of the flesh, but in the circumcision of Christ:
उहाँमा नै तिमीहरूको खतना भएको थियो, जुन खतना मानिसहरूद्वारा मासुको शरीरमा गरिएको थिएन, तर यो ख्रीष्‍टमा गरिएको थियो ।
12 Buried with him in baptism, in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him up from the dead.
तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै बप्‍तिस्मामा गाडिएका थियौ । र उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट ब्युँताउनुहुने परमेश्‍वरको शक्‍तिमाथि विश्‍वासद्वारा तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै ब्युँताइएका थियौ ।
13 And you, when you were dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh; he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences:
र जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना पाप र शरीरको बेखतनामा मरेका थियौ, उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँसँग जीवित पार्नुभयो र हाम्रा सबै पापहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुभयो ।
14 Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross:
उहाँले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका ऋणका लिखित अभियोगहरूलाई र त्यसका विनियमहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले यी सबैलाई हटाउनुभयो र क्रुसमा टाँगिदिनुभयो ।
15 And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself.
उहाँले शक्‍तिहरू र अधिकारवालाहरूलाई हटाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खुल्ला रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभयो र उहाँको क्रुसको माध्यमद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई विजय समारोहमा डोर्‍याउनुभयो ।
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of a festival day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbaths,
यसैकारण, अब कसैले तिमीहरूलाई खानेकुरा वा पिउनेकुरा वा चाडको दिनको बारेमा वा औंसी वा शबाथ-दिनको विषयमा दोष लगाउन नदेओ ।
17 Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.
यिनीहरू आउनेवाला थोकहरूका छायाँ मात्र हुन् तर वास्तविकता ख्रीष्‍ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
18 Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,
नम्रताको चाहना र स्वर्गदूतहरूको आराधनाद्वारा कसैको इनाम नखोसिएको होस् । यस्तो व्यक्‍तिले उसले देखेका कुराहरूमा मन लगाउँछ र उसको शारीरिक विचारद्वारा घमण्डी बन्दछ ।
19 And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth unto the increase of God.
उसले शिरलाई पक्री राख्दैन । शिरबाट नै जोर्नीहरू र ग्रन्थिहरू हुँदै सम्पूर्ण शरीरमा आवश्यक तत्त्वहरू फैलाइन्छ र तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ राखिन्छ; र शरीर परमेश्‍वरले दिनुभएको वृद्धिअनुसार बढ्दछ ।
20 If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world?
यदि यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूप्रति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्‍टसँगै मरेका छौ भने, किन तिमीहरू यस संसारमा समर्पित भएर जिउँछौ?
21 Touch not, taste not, handle not:
“नसमात, नचाख, नछोऊ ।”
22 Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men.
मानिसहरूका निर्देशनहरू र शिक्षाहरूअनुसार, यी सबै कुराहरू प्रयोगसँगै नष्‍ट हुन्छन् ।
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh.
यी नियमहरूमा मानिस आफैँले बनाएका धर्म र नम्रता र शरीरको कठोरताका ज्ञान छन् । तर शरीरको विलासिताको विरुद्धमा यिनीहरूको कुनै मोल छैन ।
