1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to God's will, to the Christians in Ephesus and those who trust in Christ Jesus.
IshvarasyechChayA yIshukhrIShTasya preritaH paula iphiShanagarasthAn pavitrAn khrIShTayIshau vishvAsino lokAn prati patraM likhati|
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
asmAkaM tAtasyeshvarasya prabho ryIshukhrIShTasya chAnugrahaH shAntishcha yuShmAsu varttatAM|
3 Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all that's spiritually good in the heavenly world,
asmAkaM prabho ryIshoH khrIShTasya tAta Ishvaro dhanyo bhavatu; yataH sa khrIShTenAsmabhyaM sarvvam AdhyAtmikaM svargIyavaraM dattavAn|
4 just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
vayaM yat tasya samakShaM premnA pavitrA niShkala NkAshcha bhavAmastadarthaM sa jagataH sR^iShTe pUrvvaM tenAsmAn abhirochitavAn, nijAbhilaShitAnurodhAchcha
5 He decided in advance to adopt us as his children, working through Jesus Christ to bring us to himself. He was happy to do this because this is what he wanted.
yIshunA khrIShTena svasya nimittaM putratvapade. asmAn svakIyAnugrahasya mahattvasya prashaMsArthaM pUrvvaM niyuktavAn|
6 So we praise him for his glorious grace that he so kindly gave us in his beloved Son.
tasmAd anugrahAt sa yena priyatamena putreNAsmAn anugR^ihItavAn,
7 Through him we gain salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his priceless grace
vayaM tasya shoNitena muktim arthataH pApakShamAM labdhavantaH|
8 that he so generously provided for us, together with all wisdom and understanding.
tasya ya IdR^isho. anugrahanidhistasmAt so. asmabhyaM sarvvavidhaM j nAnaM buddhi ncha bAhulyarUpeNa vitaritavAn|
9 He revealed to us his previously-hidden will through which he was happy to pursue his plan
svargapR^ithivyo ryadyad vidyate tatsarvvaM sa khrIShTe saMgrahIShyatIti hitaiShiNA
10 at the appropriate time to bring everyone together in Christ—those in heaven and those on the earth.
tena kR^ito yo manorathaH sampUrNatAM gatavatsu samayeShu sAdhayitavyastamadhi sa svakIyAbhilAShasya nigUDhaM bhAvam asmAn j nApitavAn|
11 In him—we were chosen beforehand, according to the plan of the one who is working everything out according to his will,
pUrvvaM khrIShTe vishvAsino ye vayam asmatto yat tasya mahimnaH prashaMsA jAyate,
12 for the purpose that we who were the first to hope in Christ could praise his glory.
tadarthaM yaH svakIyechChAyAH mantraNAtaH sarvvANi sAdhayati tasya manorathAd vayaM khrIShTena pUrvvaM nirUpitAH santo. adhikAriNo jAtAH|
13 In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit's promise,
yUyamapi satyaM vAkyam arthato yuShmatparitrANasya susaMvAdaM nishamya tasminneva khrIShTe vishvasitavantaH pratij nAtena pavitreNAtmanA mudrayevA NkitAshcha|
14 which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he's kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
yatastasya mahimnaH prakAshAya tena krItAnAM lokAnAM mukti ryAvanna bhaviShyati tAvat sa AtmAsmAkam adhikAritvasya satya NkArasya paNasvarUpo bhavati|
15 That's the reason, because I've heard of your trust in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all Christians,
prabhau yIshau yuShmAkaM vishvAsaH sarvveShu pavitralokeShu prema chAsta iti vArttAM shrutvAhamapi
16 why I never stop thanking God for you and remember you in my prayers.
yuShmAnadhi nirantaram IshvaraM dhanyaM vadan prArthanAsamaye cha yuShmAn smaran varamimaM yAchAmi|
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
asmAkaM prabho ryIshukhrIShTasya tAto yaH prabhAvAkara IshvaraH sa svakIyatattvaj nAnAya yuShmabhyaM j nAnajanakam prakAshitavAkyabodhaka nchAtmAnaM deyAt|
18 May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he's called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.
yuShmAkaM j nAnachakShUMShi cha dIptiyuktAni kR^itvA tasyAhvAnaM kIdR^ishyA pratyAshayA sambalitaM pavitralokAnAM madhye tena datto. adhikAraH kIdR^ishaH prabhAvanidhi rvishvAsiShu chAsmAsu prakAshamAnasya
19 May you also understand God's amazing power
tadIyamahAparAkramasya mahatvaM kIdR^ig anupamaM tat sarvvaM yuShmAn j nApayatu|
20 that he demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead. God seated Christ at his right hand in heaven,
yataH sa yasyAH shakteH prabalatAM khrIShTe prakAshayan mR^itagaNamadhyAt tam utthApitavAn,
21 far above any other ruler, authority, power, or lord, or any leader with all their titles—not only in this world, but also in the coming world too. (aiōn g165)
adhipatitvapadaM shAsanapadaM parAkramo rAjatva nchetinAmAni yAvanti padAnIha loke paraloke cha vidyante teShAM sarvveShAm Urddhve svarge nijadakShiNapArshve tam upaveshitavAn, (aiōn g165)
22 God has made everything subject to the authority of Christ, and has given him the responsibility as head over everything for the church,
sarvvANi tasya charaNayoradho nihitavAn yA samitistasya sharIraM sarvvatra sarvveShAM pUrayituH pUraka ncha bhavati taM tasyA mUrddhAnaM kR^itvA
23 which is his body, filled full and made complete by Christ, who fills and brings everything to completion.
