१ पत्रुस 3
1 यसरी नै पत्नीहरू हो, तिमीहरूका आ-आफ्ना पतिको अधीनमा रहो, ताकि यदि कोही वचनमा आज्ञाकारी छैन भने तापनि तिनीहरूका पत्नीहरूको आचरणको कारण तिनीहरूलाई वचनैविना जित्न सकिन्छ ।
In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any do not obey the word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;
2 किनकि तिनीहरूले तिमीहरूका शुद्ध आचरणलाई आफ्नो सम्मानको रूपमा देख्नेछन् ।
seeing your pure behavior in fear.
3 यसको लागि केशको शृङ्गार, सुनका गरगहनाहरू, शृङ्गारका वस्त्रहरूजस्ता बाहिरी सजावट नगर ।
Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
4 तर तिमीहरूका भित्री हृदयबाट र सदैव रहने भलो र शान्त आत्माद्वारा परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा अनमोल हुने किसिमले यसो गर ।
but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.
5 किनकि पहिलेका पवित्र स्त्रीहरूले यसरी नै आफ्नो शृङ्गार गर्थे । तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरमा आशा राख्थे र आफ्ना पतिहरूका अधीनमा बस्दथे ।
For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:
6 यसरी नै सारा अब्राहामप्रति आज्ञाकारी हुन्थिन् र तिनलाई “स्वामी” भनेर बोलाउँथिन् । अब यदि तिमीहरूले जे असल छ त्यही गर्यौ र समस्याहरूसँग डराएनौ भने तिमीहरू तिनकै छोरीहरू ठहरिन्छौ ।
as Sera obeyed Avraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.
7 त्यसरी नै पतिहरू हो, आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई अबला र जीवनका वरदानहरू प्राप्त गर्ने साझेदार सम्झी तिनीहरूसँग बस । तिमीहरूका प्रार्थनामा अवरोध नहोस् भनेर यसो गर ।
You husbands, in like manner, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.
8 अन्त्यमा तिमीहरू सबै एकै मनका, दयावान्, भातृत्वलाई प्रेम गर्ने, कोमल हृदयका र नम्र होओ ।
Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
9 खराबीको बदला खराबी र अपमानको बदला अपमान नगर । तर त्यसको विपरीत निरन्तर आशीर्वाद देओ किनकि आशिष्मा सहभागी हुन सक भनेर तिमीहरू यसैको निम्ति बोलाइएका हौ ।
not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; because to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.
10 “जसले आफ्नो जीवनलाई प्रेम गर्न चाहन्छ र असल दिनहरू देख्ने इच्छा गर्दछ उसले आफ्नो जिब्रोलाई खराबबाट र उसको ओठलाई छल कुरा गर्नबाट रोकोस् ।
For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
11 ऊ खराब कुराहरूबाट फर्की जे असल छ त्यही गरोस् । उसले शान्तिको खोजी गरोस् र त्यसैमा लागिरहोस् ।
Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.
12 परमेश्वरका आँखाले धर्मी जनलाई देख्छन्; उहाँका कानले तिनीहरूका निवेदनहरू सुन्छन् । तर परमेश्वरको मुहार खराबी गर्नेहरूको विरुद्धमा हुन्छ ।”
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13 तिमीहरूले असल गर्ने चाहना गर्दा तिमीहरूलाई कसले खराबी गर्छ?
Now who is he who will harm you, if you become zealous of that which is good?
14 तर यदि तिमीहरू धार्मिकताको लागि सताइन्छौ भने तिमी आशिषित् हुनेछौ । तिनीहरू डराउने कुरादेखि तिमीहरू नडराओ । हतास नहोओ ।
But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not fear what they fear, nor be troubled."
15 बरु, प्रभु येशूलाई पवित्र मानेर तिमीहरूका हृदयमा राख । तिमीहरू किन परमेश्वरमा आशा राख्छौ भनेर कसैले सोधेमा त्यसको जवाफ दिन सधैँ तयार बस? यो काम नम्रता र आदरपूर्वक गर ।
But sanctify in your hearts Meshikha as Lord; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with humility and fear:
16 असल विवेक कायम राख ताकि ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूका असल जीवनको निन्दा गर्न खोज्नेहरू लाजमा परून्, किनकि तिनीहरूले दुष्ट मानिसहरूको रूपमा तिमीहरूको विरुद्धमा कुरा गरिरहेका छन् ।
having a good conscience; so that when they speak evil against you, they may be put to shame who slander your good manner of life in Meshikha.
17 परमेश्वरले इच्छा गर्नुभयो भने तिमीहरूले खराब काम गरेर दुःख भोग्नुभन्दा असल काम गरेर दुःख भोग्नु असल हुन्छ ।
For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing well than for doing evil.
18 ख्रीष्टले पनि पापका निम्ति एक पटक दुःख भोग्नुभयो । धर्मी भएर पनि उहाँले हामीलाई परमेश्वरमा ल्याउनको निम्ति हामी अधर्मीहरूका लागि दुःख भोग्नुभयो । उहाँले शारीरिक रूपमा मृत्यु वरण गर्नुभयो, तर उहाँ आत्मामा जीवित पारिनुभयो ।
Because Meshikha also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;
19 उहाँ आत्मामा जानुभयो र कैदमा परेका आत्माहरूलाई प्रचार गर्नुभयो ।
in which he also went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison,
20 नोआको समयमा जहाज बनाइँदा परमेश्वरले धैर्य गरेर पर्खिरहेको बेला तिनीहरू आज्ञाकारी भएनन्, र परमेश्वरले पानीबाट आठ जना आत्मा बचाउनुभयो ।
who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Nukh, while the box-shaped ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved by means of water.
21 यो अहिले तिमीहरूलाई बचाउने बप्तिस्माको एउटा सङ्केत हो जुनचाहिँ शरीरको फोहोर सफा गरेजस्तो नभई येशू ख्रीष्टको पुनरुत्थानद्वारा परमेश्वरमा असल विवेकको निवेदनको रूपमा हो ।
This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the body, but an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Yeshua Meshikha,
22 उहाँ परमेश्वरको दाहिने हातपट्टि हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ स्वर्गमा जानुभयो । स्वर्गदूतहरू, अधिकारहरू र शक्तिहरू सबै उहाँमा झुक्नुपर्छ ।
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
