ENCOURAGING BIBLE VERSES FOR LEADERS

भलाइ गर्न नथाकौं किनभने यसमा लागिरह्यौं भने समयमा यसको फल हामीले पाउनेछौं। 

⁹And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.                                   GAL 6:9

⁷तिमीहरूलाई सुरुमा परमेश्‍वरको शिक्षा दिने अगुवाहरूलाई याद गर। उनीहरूको जीवन कस्‍तो थियो र कसरी उनीहरूले यस संसारलाई छोडेर गए, त्‍यो विचार गर। तिमीहरूले पनि उनीहरूले गरेजस्‍तै विश्‍वास गर।

⁷Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.

                                                        HEB 13:7,

नडरा, म तँसित छु!
म तेरा परमेश्‍वर हुँ, कुनै कुराले तँलाई नतर्साओस्!
म तँलाई बल र मद्दत दिनेछु।
मेरो धार्मिकताको दाहिने हातले तँलाई बचाउनेछु।
⁰fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

                                          IS 41:10

मेरा भाइहरू, तिमीहरूमा धेरै जना शिक्षा दिनेहरू बन्‍न नखोज किनभने शिक्षा दिनेलाई अरूलाई भन्दा कडासँग न्‍याय  हुन्‍छ भनी तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ।

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness

                                       JAMES 3:1,

प्रभुको अघि नम्र बन  र उहाँले तिमीहरूलाई उचाल्‍नुहुनेछ।

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
                                      JAMES 4:10,

उहाँ बढ्दै जानुपर्छ, तर मचाहिँ घट्दै जानुपर्छ।”

He must increase, but I must decrease.”

                                        JN 3:30,

⁶तर तिमीहरूमा चाहिँ त्‍यस्‍तो हुनुहुँदैन। तिमीहरूमा त ठूलो हुन खोज्‍नेले सबैको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ।²⁷सबैभन्दा ठूलो हुन चाहनेचाहिँ सबैको नोकर हुनुपर्छ।²⁸त्‍यसरी नै म मानव पुत्र पनि अरूबाट सेवा पाउन होइन, तर अरूको सेवा गर्न र धेरैलाई छुटकारा दिन आफ्‍नै प्राण त्‍यागिदिन आएको हुँ।”

It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,²⁷and whoever would be first among you must be your slave,²⁸even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”  

                                         MT 20:26-28,

आफ्‍नै मात्र भलाइ खोजेर तिमीहरू केही नगर। तिमीहरूले फोस्रो घमण्‍डको निम्‍ति पनि केही नगर। एक-अर्काप्रति नम्र बन र अरूहरू आफूभन्दा राम्रा छन् भनी सम्‍झ।⁴आफ्‍नै मात्र होइन, अरूको पनि विचार गर।

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.⁴Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

                                                PHI 2:3-4

शरीरको कसरतमा लाग्‍यौ भने त थोरै कुरामा मात्र फाइदा हुन्‍छ। तर आत्‍माको कसरत गर्‍यौ भने धेरै कुराको फाइदा हुन्‍छ। यसले त अहिलेको र पछिको जीवनमा फाइदाको निम्‍ति प्रतिज्ञा दिन्‍छ।

⁸for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come

                                                         1 TIM 4:8,

⁵लाज मान्‍नु नपर्ने र सत्‍यको सन्‍देशलाई ठीकसँग प्रयोग गर्ने सेवकजस्‍तै परमेश्‍वरलाई मनपर्ने गरी उहाँको अगाडि उहाँकै कुरा बोल्‍न तयार भइरहन कोसिस गर।

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

                                             2 TIM 2:15,

⁵आफैंलाई परमप्रभुकहाँ सुम्‍पिदेऊ,
उहाँमा भरोसा राख; उहाँले तिमीलाई सहायता गर्नुहुनेछ।

Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in him, and he will act.

                                    PS 37:5,

परमेश्‍वरलाई प्रेम गर्ने अनि उहाँले आफ्‍नो इच्‍छा पूरा गर्न छान्‍नुभएका प्रत्‍येक मानिसको निम्‍ति हरेक घटनाले उसको भलाइ नै गर्छ

⁸And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose

                                          ROM 8:28

³आफ्‍ना भेडा र गाई-वस्‍तुको राम्ररी हेरचाह गर²⁴किनभने तिम्रो धन-सम्‍पत्ति सधैँभरिको निम्‍ति हुँदैन। राजवंश पनि सधैँभरि रहँदैन।

Know well the condition of your flocks,
and give attention to your herds,
²⁴for riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?

                                       PRO 27:23-24,

अनि येशूले तिनीहरू सबैलाई एउटै ठाउँमा बोलाएर भन्‍नुभयो, “तिमीहरूलाई थाहै छ, संसारमा राज्‍य गर्नेहरूले प्रजामाथि आफूखुसी गरेर हक चलाउँछन् अनि ठूला मानिसले अरूहरूमाथि अधिकार जमाउँछन्।⁴³तर तिमीहरूमा चाहिँ त्‍यस्‍तो हुनुहुँदैन। तिमीहरूमध्‍ये ठूलो हुन खोज्‍नेले सबैको सेवा गर्नुपर्छ।⁴⁴सबैभन्दा ठूलो हुन चाहने चाहिँ सबैको नोकर हुनुपर्छ⁴⁵किनभने म मानव पुत्र पनि अरूबाट सेवा पाउन होइन, तर अरूको सेवा गर्न र धेरै जनालाई छुटकारा दिन भनेर आफ्‍नै प्राण त्‍यागिदिन आएको हुँ।”

²And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.⁴³But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,⁴⁴and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.⁴⁵For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

                                        MK 10:42-45

³तिमीहरूले मलाई गुरु र प्रभु भन्‍छौ। यो कुरा ठीक नै हो, म तिमीहरूका प्रभु र गुरु नै हुँ।¹⁴मैले प्रभु र गुरु भएर पनि तिमीहरूका खुट्टा धोएको छु भने तिमीहरूले पनि एक-अर्काको खुट्टा धुनुपर्छ।¹⁵मैले गरेजस्‍तै तिमीहरूले पनि गर भनेर नै मैले नमुना देखाएको हुँ।¹⁶साँच्‍चै म तिमीहरूलाई भन्‍छु, मालिकभन्दा नोकर ठूलो हुँदैन अनि खबर पठाउनेभन्दा खबर ल्‍याउने पनि ठूलो हुँदैन।¹⁷तिमीहरूले यो कुरा बुझेर यसैअनुसार काम गर्‍यौ भने तिमीहरू सुखी हुनेछौ

You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am.¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.¹⁵For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.¹⁶Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.¹⁷If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

                                                   JN 13:13-17,

उहाँले नै कसैलाई आफ्‍नो प्रेरित, कसैलाई अगमवक्ता, कसैलाई प्रचारक, कसैलाई मण्‍डलीको हेर विचार गर्ने र कसैलाई शिक्षक नियुक्त गर्नुभयो।¹²ख्रीष्‍टका सबै पवित्र जनहरूलाई उहाँको काम गर्न सक्‍ने बनाउन र उहाँको शरीर मण्‍डलीको उन्‍नति गर्नलाई यो नियुक्ती दिनुभयो।¹³यस प्रकार यी वरदानका कामहरूले हामीलाई विश्‍वासको एकतामा ल्‍याउन र परमेश्‍वरको पुत्रको ज्ञानमा हामीलाई बढाउन मद्दत दिइरहन्‍छन् र एक दिन हामी परिपक्‍व बन्‍नेछौं र ख्रीष्‍टकै भरिपूर्णताको मात्रामा पुग्‍नेछौं।¹⁴तब हामी स-साना केटा-केटीजस्‍ता धूर्त मानिसका विभिन्‍न शिक्षाका बतासले जता हुर्र्यायो, उतै जादैनौं। तिनीहरूले निकालेका ठग विद्याले अरूलाई कुबाटोमा लैजान्‍छ।¹⁵प्रेमसँग सत्‍य बोलेर सबै कुरामा हाम्रो शिर ख्रीष्‍टजस्‍तै हामी बढ्दै जाऔं।¹⁶उहाँकै अधीनमा सबै बेग्‍लाबेग्‍लै अङ्गहरू मिलेर रहेका छन् र पूरै शरीर ठीक-ठीक ठाउँमा जोडिएर बसेको छ। एक-एक अङ्गले आफूले गर्नुपर्ने काम गर्‍यो भने पूरै शरीर प्रेममा बढ्दै विकसित हुन्‍छ।

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,¹²to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,¹³until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,¹⁴so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.¹⁵Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ

                                            EPH 4:11-16,

⁷मण्डलीको अगुवाले परमेश्‍वरको कामको जिम्मा लिएका हुन्छन्। यसकारण तिनी कुनै दोष नभएका मानिस हुनुपर्दछ। तिनी आफूखुसी गर्ने, छिट्टै रिसाउने, मात्तिने, मारपिट गर्ने र माग्‍ने लोभी हुनुहुँदैन।⁸तिनी पाहुनाहरूको सत्‍कार गर्ने र असल काम, राम्रा कुरा मन पराउने अनि होश राखेर काम गर्ने, न्‍यायी, पवित्र र आफैंलाई वशमा राख्‍ने हुनुपर्दछ। आफूले पाएको साँचो शिक्षामा लागिरहने र अरूलाई पनि यो शिक्षा दिएर साहस दिन सक्‍ने हुनुपर्दछ। यो शिक्षा हामीले सिकाएबमोजिम हुनुपर्छ अनि यसको विरोध गर्नेहरूको गल्‍तीलाई पनि देखाइदिन सक्‍नेछौ।

¹⁰किनभने धेरै मानिसहरू पाखण्‍डी, व्‍यर्थको कुरा गर्ने, ढाँट्‍नेहरू हुन्‍छन्। यस्‍ताहरूमध्‍ये त खास गरी खतना गर्नुपर्छ भन्‍नेहरू छन्।¹¹तिनीहरूको मुखमा बुजो नलगाई हुँदैन किनभने तिनीहरूले त सिकाउनै नहुने कुराहरू सिकाएर पूरै घर-परिवारमा भाँड-भैलो मच्‍चाएका छन्। खालि पैसा कमाउनलाई नै तिनीहरूले यसो गरेका हुन्।¹²क्रेटका एक जना ज्ञानी मानिसले यसरी भनेका छन्, “क्रेटका मानिसहरू सबै झूटो बोल्‍ने, दुष्‍ट पशु र अल्‍छी घिचुवाहरू हुन्।”¹³यो कुरा साँचो हो। यसकारण तिनीहरूलाई बेस्सरी हप्‍काऊ र तिनीहरूमा पक्‍का विश्‍वास आउन सकोस्।¹⁴अब यहूदीका दन्‍त्‍यकथा र सत्‍यलाई नमान्‍ने मानिसको कुराहरूलाई सुन्‍दै नसुन्‍नू।

⁷For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain,⁸but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.⁹He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

¹⁰For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party.¹¹They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach.¹²One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”¹³This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,¹⁴not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth
