2 Timothy 3
1 यो याद गर। अन्तिम दिनहरूमा आपदको समय हुनेछ।
2 ती दिनहरूमा मानिसले आफूलाई र पैसालाई मात्र माया गर्नेछन्। ती अहंकारी, घमण्डी र अर्कालाई गाली गर्ने हुन्छन्। मानिसहरूले आफ्ना माता पिताका आज्ञा पालन गर्ने छैनन् अनि कृतज्ञ बन्ने छैनन्। ती परमश्वरले मन पराउनु हुने मानिसहरू हुनेछैनन्।
3 मानिसहरूले अर्कालाई प्रेम गर्ने छैनन्। तिनीहरूले अरूलाई क्षमा गर्न अस्वीकार गर्नेछन्। तिनीहरूले नराम्रा कुराहरू बोल्नेछन्। तिनीहरूमा आत्मसंयम हुने छैन। तिनीहरू दुराचारी र नीच हुनेछन् अनि असल कुरालाई हेला गर्ने हुनेछन्।
4 अन्त्यका दिनहरूमा मानिसहरू आफ्नै साथीको शत्रु बन्ने छन्। केही विचारै नगरी तिनीहरू मूर्ख काम गर्छन्। ती कपटी हुनेछन्। तिनीहरू परमेश्वरलाई भन्दा सुखभोगलाई अधिक प्रेम गर्ने हुन्छन्।
5 तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सेवा गरे जस्तो त गर्नेछन्। तर व्यवहारमा तिनीहरूले परमेश्वरको सेवा गर्दैनन्। तिमोथी, त्यस्ता मानिसहरूबाट टाडा बस।
6 त्यस्ता कति मानिसहरू घर जान्छन् र पापले पूर्ण भएका स्त्रीहरूलाई आफ्ना अधीनमा राख्छन्। तिनीहरूले गर्न चाहने धेरै नराम्रा कुराहरूद्वारा तिनीहरूलाई पाप तिर तानिन्छन्।
7 ती स्त्रीहरू सदैव नयाँ शिक्षाहरू सिक्न चाहन्छन् तर तिनीहरू सत्यलाई पूर्णरूपले बुझ्न कहिल्यै पनि योग्य हुँदैनन्।
8 जेन्नस र जेम्ब्रसलाई नै संझ। तिनीहरू मोशाको विरूद्ध थिए। यी मानिसहरू पनि त्यस्तै हुन्। तिनीहरू सत्यका विरोधी हुन्। तिनीहरूको विचार बहकिएको छ। तिनीहरू सत्यको अनुसरण गर्न चुकेका छन्।
9 तर तिनीहरू आफ्ना काममा सफल हुन सक्ने छैनन्। सबले जान्नेछन् कि तिनीहरू मूर्खछन्। जेन्नस र जेम्ब्रसको मामलामा जस्तै प्रत्येकले जान्नेछन् कि तिनीहरू मूर्ख हुन्।
10 मेरो बारेमा तिमी सबै जान्दछौ। म के सिकाउँछु, कसरी बस्छु, तिमी जान्दछौ। तिमी मेरो जीवनको लक्ष्य, मेरो विश्वास, धैर्य र प्रेम पनि जान्द्छौ। तिमी जान्दछौ कि कोशिश गर्न म कहिल्यै छोडदिनँ।
11 तिमी मेरो कष्टहरू र यातनाहरू जान्दछौ। एन्टिओक, आइकोनियम र लिस्त्रामा ममाथि घटेका घटनाहरू तिमी सबै जान्दछौ। ती स्थानहरूमा मैले सामना गर्न परेका कष्टहरू तिमीलाई थाहा छ। तर प्रभुले मलाई ती विपदहरूबाट बचाउनु भयो।
12 ख्रीष्ट येशूमा जसले परमश्वरले चाहेको अनुसार बाँच्न चाहन्छ उसले कष्टहरू भोग्नै पर्छ।
13 मानिसहरू जो दुष्ट अनि अरूलाई धोका दिनेहरू छन् ती नराम्रोदेखि अझ नराम्रो हुँदै जान्छन्। तिनीहरू अरूलाई मूर्ख तुल्याउँछन् तर तिनीहरू स्वयंलाई मूर्ख बनाइरहेका हुन्छन्।
14 तिमीले सिकेका शिक्षालाई तिमीले अनुसरण गर्नुपर्छ किनभने ती सत्य हुन् भनी तिमीलाई भरोशा छ। यो कुरा तिमी जान्दछौ किनकि तिनीहरू जसले तिमीलाई ती सिकाए तिनीहरू भरोसा योग्य छन।
15 तिम्रो बाल्यकालदेखि नै तिमीलाई पवित्र शास्त्र थाहा छ। ती धर्मशास्त्रले तिमीलाई ज्ञानी तुल्याउनेछ। अनि त्यो ज्ञानले ख्रीष्ट येशूमा विश्वासद्वारा मुक्ति तर्फ डोर्याउँछ।
16 सबै धर्मशास्त्रहरू परमेश्वरले दिनु भएको हो। ती धर्मशास्त्रहरू शिक्षा दिनु अनि मानिसको जीवनमा भएका गलत कुराहरू देखाइदिने काममा उपयोगी छन्। धर्मशास्त्रहरू गल्ती सुधार्न अनि उचित जीवन कसरी जिउनु त्यो सिकाउनुमा उपयोगी छन्।
17 परमेश्वरको प्रत्येक सेवक धर्मशास्त्रको प्रयोग गरेर तयार हुनेछ अनि हर किसिमको उत्तम कार्य गर्न उसलाई आवश्यक हरेक कुरा प्राप्त हुनेछ।।
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the Lord hath kept thee back from honour.
12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the Lord saith, that will I speak?
14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
