Colossians 2
1 And I wish you to know, what a struggle I have for you, and for them of Laodicea, and for the others who 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, and that they, by love, may come to all the riches of assurance, and to the understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father, and of the Messiah,
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 of knowledge.
ज्ञान र बुद्धिका सबै सम्पत्तिहरू उहाँमा लुकाइएका छन् ।
4 And this I say, lest any one should mislead you by the persuasiveness of words.
म यो भन्छु, कि बहकाउने बोलीले कसैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई नछलोस् ।
5 For though I am separated from you in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit; and I rejoice at beholding your good order, and the stability of your faith in the Messiah.
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 received Jesus the Messiah our Lord, walk ye in him,
तिमीहरूले येशू ख्रीष्टलाई जुन प्रकारले प्राप्त गर्यौ, सोही प्रकारले उहाँमा हिँड ।
7 strengthening your roots and building up yourselves in him, and establishing yourselves in the faith which ye have learned, in which may ye abound 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 make you naked by philosophy, and by vain deception, according to the doctrines of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to the Messiah,
तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि दर्शनद्वारा र ख्रीष्टअनुसार नभई यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूअनुसार मानिसहरूका परम्पराको रित्तोपनको धोकाबाट वशमा पार्न नदेओ ।
9 in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Divinity corporeally.
किनकि उहाँमा परमेश्वरको पूर्णता शरीरमा बास गर्दछ ।
10 And in him ye are also complete, because he is the head of all principalities and authorities.
र तिमीहरू उहाँमा पूर्ण रूपमा भरिएका छौ । उहाँ नै सबै शक्ति र अधिकारको शिर हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 And in him ye have been circumcised with a circumcision without hands, by casting off the flesh of sins, by a circumcision of the Messiah.
उहाँमा नै तिमीहरूको खतना भएको थियो, जुन खतना मानिसहरूद्वारा मासुको शरीरमा गरिएको थिएन, तर यो ख्रीष्टमा गरिएको थियो ।
12 And ye have been buried with him, by baptism; and by it ye have risen with him; while ye believed in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै बप्तिस्मामा गाडिएका थियौ । र उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट ब्युँताउनुहुने परमेश्वरको शक्तिमाथि विश्वासद्वारा तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै ब्युँताइएका थियौ ।
13 And you, who were dead in your sins, and by the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath vivified with him; and he hath forgiven us all our sins:
र जब तिमीहरू आफ्ना पाप र शरीरको बेखतनामा मरेका थियौ, उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उहाँसँग जीवित पार्नुभयो र हाम्रा सबै पापहरूलाई क्षमा गर्नुभयो ।
14 and, by his mandates, he blotted out the handwriting of our debts, which handwriting existed against us, and took it from the midst, and affixed it to his cross.
उहाँले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका ऋणका लिखित अभियोगहरूलाई र त्यसका विनियमहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले यी सबैलाई हटाउनुभयो र क्रुसमा टाँगिदिनुभयो ।
15 And, by yielding up his body, he showed contempt for principalities and authorities; and put them to shame, openly, in his own person.
उहाँले शक्तिहरू र अधिकारवालाहरूलाई हटाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खुल्ला रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभयो र उहाँको क्रुसको माध्यमद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई विजय समारोहमा डोर्याउनुभयो ।
16 Let no one therefore disquiet you about food and drink, or about the distinctions of festivals, and new moons, and sabbaths;
यसैकारण, अब कसैले तिमीहरूलाई खानेकुरा वा पिउनेकुरा वा चाडको दिनको बारेमा वा औंसी वा शबाथ-दिनको विषयमा दोष लगाउन नदेओ ।
17 which were shadows of the things then future; but the body is the Messiah.
यिनीहरू आउनेवाला थोकहरूका छायाँ मात्र हुन् तर वास्तविकता ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
18 And let no one wish, by abasing the mind, to bring you under bonds, that ye subject yourselves to the worship of angels; while he is prying into that which he hath not seen, and is vainly inflated in his fleshly 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 holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given 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 For if ye are dead with the Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why are ye judged as if ye were living in the world?
यदि यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूप्रति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टसँगै मरेका छौ भने, किन तिमीहरू यस संसारमा समर्पित भएर जिउँछौ?
21 But, touch thou not, and taste thou not, and handle thou not:
“नसमात, नचाख, नछोऊ ।”
22 for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men.
मानिसहरूका निर्देशनहरू र शिक्षाहरूअनुसार, यी सबै कुराहरू प्रयोगसँगै नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
23 And they seem to have a kind of wisdom, in a show of humility, and of the fear of God, and of not sparing the body; not in any thing of excellence, but in things subservient to the body.
यी नियमहरूमा मानिस आफैँले बनाएका धर्म र नम्रता र शरीरको कठोरताका ज्ञान छन् । तर शरीरको विलासिताको विरुद्धमा यिनीहरूको कुनै मोल छैन ।
