Colossians 2
1 For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you and 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 that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the 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 the wisdom and the knowledge hid,
ज्ञान र बुद्धिका सबै सम्पत्तिहरू उहाँमा लुकाइएका छन् ।
4 and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing words,
म यो भन्छु, कि बहकाउने बोलीले कसैले पनि तिमीहरूलाई नछलोस् ।
5 for if even in the flesh I am absent — yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;
र म तिमीहरूसँग शरीरमा नभए तापनि, म तिमीहरूसँग आत्मामा छु । म तिमीहरूका सुव्यवस्था र ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूका विश्वासको शक्तिलाई देखेर आनन्दित हुन्छु ।
6 as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk ye,
तिमीहरूले येशू ख्रीष्टलाई जुन प्रकारले प्राप्त गर्यौ, सोही प्रकारले उहाँमा हिँड ।
7 being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught — abounding in it in thanksgiving.
तिमीहरूलाई सिकाइएको जस्तै गरी उहाँमा बलियोसँग जरा गाड, उहाँमा निर्माण हुँदै जाओ, विश्वासमा स्थापित होओ, र प्रशस्तसँग धन्यवाद देओ ।
8 See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance of men, according to the rudiments 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 doth tabernacle all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
किनकि उहाँमा परमेश्वरको पूर्णता शरीरमा बास गर्दछ ।
10 and ye are in him made 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 also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of the 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 being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with [him] through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.
तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै बप्तिस्मामा गाडिएका थियौ । र उहाँलाई मृतकहरूबाट ब्युँताउनुहुने परमेश्वरको शक्तिमाथि विश्वासद्वारा तिमीहरू उहाँसँगै ब्युँताइएका थियौ ।
13 And you — being dead in the trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh — He made alive together with him, having forgiven you all the trespasses,
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 in the ordinances that is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;
उहाँले हाम्रो विरुद्धमा लगाइएका ऋणका लिखित अभियोगहरूलाई र त्यसका विनियमहरूलाई हटाइदिनुभयो । उहाँले यी सबैलाई हटाउनुभयो र क्रुसमा टाँगिदिनुभयो ।
15 having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he made a shew of them openly — having triumphed over them in it.
उहाँले शक्तिहरू र अधिकारवालाहरूलाई हटाउनुभयो । उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई खुल्ला रूपमा प्रकट गर्नुभयो र उहाँको क्रुसको माध्यमद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई विजय समारोहमा डोर्याउनुभयो ।
16 Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of 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 the coming things, and the body [is] of the Christ;
यिनीहरू आउनेवाला थोकहरूका छायाँ मात्र हुन् तर वास्तविकता ख्रीष्ट हुनुहुन्छ ।
18 let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the mind 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 all the body — through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together — may increase with 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, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?
यदि यस संसारका तत्त्वहरूप्रति तिमीहरू ख्रीष्टसँगै मरेका छौ भने, किन तिमीहरू यस संसारमा समर्पित भएर जिउँछौ?
21 — thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle —
“नसमात, नचाख, नछोऊ ।”
22 which are all for destruction with the using, after the commands and teachings of men,
मानिसहरूका निर्देशनहरू र शिक्षाहरूअनुसार, यी सबै कुराहरू प्रयोगसँगै नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
23 which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body — not in any honour, 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 ।
