Colossians 2
1 For I desire you to know, how great a contest I am having—in behalf of you, and of those in Laodicea, and as many as 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 In order that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, even unto all the riches of the full assurance of their understanding, unto a personal knowledge of the sacred secret of God, —Christ:
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 all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden away.
ज्ञान र बुद्धिका सबै सम्पत्तिहरू उहाँमा लुकाइएका छन् ।
4 This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;
म यो भन्छु, कि बहकाउने बोलीले कसैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई नछलोस् ।
5 For, though, indeed, in the flesh, I am absent, yet, in the spirit, with you, I am—rejoicing, and beholding your order and the solid firmness of your Christ-ward faith.
र म तिमीहरूसँग शरीरमा नभए तापनि, म तिमीहरूसँग आत्मामा छु । म तिमीहरूका सुव्यवस्था र ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूका विश्वासको शक्तिलाई देखेर आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
6 As therefore ye have accepted the Anointed Jesus as your Lord, in him, be walking, —
तिमीहरूले येशू ख्रीष्टलाई जुन प्रकारले प्राप्त गर्यौ, सोही प्रकारले उहाँमा हिँड ।
7 Rooted, and being built up, in him, and making yourselves sure in your faith, even as ye have been taught, —surpassing therein with thanksgiving.
तिमीहरूलाई सिकाइएको जस्तै गरी उहाँमा बलियोसँग जरा गाड, उहाँमा निर्माण हुँदै जाओ, विश्वासमा स्थापित होओ, र प्रशस्तसँग धन्यवाद देओ ।
8 Be taking heed, lest there shall be anyone leading, you, off as a spoil, through means of their philosophy, and an empty deceit, —according to the instruction of men, according to the first principles 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 Because, in him, dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead, bodily,
किनकि उहाँमा परमेश्वरको पूर्णता शरीरमा बास गर्दछ ।
10 And ye are, in him, filled full, —Who, is the head of all principality and authority,
र तिमीहरू उहाँमा पूर्ण रूपमा भरिएका छौ । उहाँ नै सबै शक्ति र अधिकारको शिर हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 In whom, ye have also been circumcised with a circumcision not done by hand, in the despoiling of the body of flesh, in the circumcision of the Christ, —
उहाँमा नै तिमीहरूको खतना भएको थियो, जुन खतना मानिसहरूद्वारा मासुको शरीरमा गरिएको थिएन, तर यो ख्रीष्टमा गरिएको थियो ।
12 Having been buried together with him in your immersion, wherein also ye have been raised together, through your faith in the energising of God—Who raised him from among the dead.
तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै बप्तिस्मामा गाडिएका थियौ । र उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट ब्युँताउनुहुने परमेश्वरको शक्तिमाथि विश्वासद्वारा तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै ब्युँताइएका थियौ ।
13 And, as for you—who were, dead, by your offences and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath brought you to life together with him, —having in favour forgiven us all our offences,
र जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना पाप र शरीरको बेखतनामा मरेका थियौ, उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँसँग जीवित पार्नुभयो र हाम्रा सबै पापहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुभयो ।
14 Having blotted out the handwriting against us by the decrees, which was hostile to us, —and hath taken away, the same, out of the midst, nailing it up to the cross:
उहाँले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका ऋणका लिखित अभियोगहरूलाई र त्यसका विनियमहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले यी सबैलाई हटाउनुभयो र क्रुसमा टाँगिदिनुभयो ।
15 Spoiling the principalities and the authorities, he made of them an open example, celebrating a triumph over them thereby.
उहाँले शक्तिहरू र अधिकारवालाहरूलाई हटाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खुल्ला रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभयो र उहाँको क्रुसको माध्यमद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई विजय समारोहमा डोर्याउनुभयो ।
16 Let no one, therefore, be judging, you, —in eating and in drinking, or in respect of feast, or new moon, or sabbath, —
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 the things to come, whereas, the body, is of the Christ.
यिनीहरू आउनेवाला थोकहरूका छायाँ मात्र हुन् तर वास्तविकता ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
18 Let, no one, against you, be arbitrating, however wishful, —in respect of lowliness of mind, and of a religious observance of the messengers: upon what things he hath seen, taking his stand, in vain, puffed up by his carnal mind, —
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 fast the head: from which, all the body, through means of its joints and uniting bands, receiving supply, and connecting itself together, groweth with the growth 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 ye have died, together with Christ, from the first principles of the world, why, as though alive in the world, are ye submitting to decrees, —
यदि यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूप्रति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टसँगै मरेका छौ भने, किन तिमीहरू यस संसारमा समर्पित भएर जिउँछौ?
21 Do not handle, nor taste, nor touch; —
“नसमात, नचाख, नछोऊ ।”
22 Which things are all for decay in the using up; —according to the commandments and teachings of men?
मानिसहरूका निर्देशनहरू र शिक्षाहरूअनुसार, यी सबै कुराहरू प्रयोगसँगै नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
23 The which things, indeed, though they have, an appearance, of wisdom, in self-devised religious observance, and lowliness of mind, [and] ill-treatment of body, are, in no honourable way, unto a satisfying of the flesh.
यी नियमहरूमा मानिस आफैँले बनाएका धर्म र नम्रता र शरीरको कठोरताका ज्ञान छन् । तर शरीरको विलासिताको विरुद्धमा यिनीहरूको कुनै मोल छैन ।
