Ephesians 2
1 Formerly, because you were habitually sinning [DOU], you were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as a] corpse [MET] is).
೧ನೀವು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಪರಾಧಗಳ ಹಾಗೂ ಪಾಪಗಳ ದೆಸೆಯಿಂದ ಸತ್ತವರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
2 You were acting in the same [evil] way as those who oppose Christ [MTY] act. That is, you were behaving in the [evil] ways [that Satan wanted you to behave]. He rules over evil spiritual beings that no person can see [MTY]. He is the spirit who now powerfully controls the people who disobey God. (aiōn g165)
೨ಪೂರ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವು ಇಹಲೋಕದ ಪದ್ಧತಿಗೆ ಅನುಸಾರವಾಗಿಯೂ, ವಾಯುಮಂಡಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ನಡಿಸುವ ಅಧಿಪತಿಗೆ ಅಂದರೆ ಅವಿಧೇಯತೆಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳಲ್ಲಿ ಈಗ ಕೆಲಸ ನಡೆಸುವ ಆತ್ಮನಿಗನುಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಜೀವನ ನಡಿಸಿದ್ದೀರಿ. (aiōn g165)
3 Formerly, we all used to disobey God as they do. We did the things that our self-centered nature wanted us to do. We habitually did those [evil] deeds that our bodies and our minds wanted to do. When we were acting like that, it was certain that [God] would punish [MTY] us, just like he will certainly punish all other [evil people].
೩ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಪೂರ್ವದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಇದ್ದೆವು, ಶರೀರಭಾವದ ಆಸೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಧೀನರಾಗಿ, ಶಾರೀರಿಕ ಹಾಗೂ ಮಾನಸಿಕ ಇಚ್ಛೆಗಳನ್ನು ಈಡೇರಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಬಂದೆವು. ಸ್ವಭಾವತಃ ನಾವು ಸಹ ಇತರರಂತೆಯೇ ದೇವರ ಕೋಪಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೆವು.
4 But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much.
೪ಆದರೆ ಕರುಣಾನಿಧಿಯಾಗಿರುವ ದೇವರು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸಿದ ಮಹಾ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ನಿಮಿತ್ತ,
5 As a result, even when we were ([spiritually] dead/[as unable to please God as] a corpse [MET] is) because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive [spiritual]/[eternal] life because of our relationship with Christ. [Do not forget this: It is only] because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that [he] saved you} [from the guilt of your sin]
೫ಅಪರಾಧಗಳ ದೆಸೆಯಿಂದ ಸತ್ತವರಾಗಿದ್ದ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬದುಕಿಸಿದನು. ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ನೀವು ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೊಂದಿದವರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
6 And [it is as though] God gave us spiritual life when he caused Christ Jesus to be alive again after he died [MET]. And [it is as though] God caused us to sit [and rule] [MTY] with him in heaven,
೬ಆತನು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ಯೇಸುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗಿರುವ ದಯೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ತನ್ನ ಅಪಾರವಾದ ಕೃಪಾತಿಶಯವನ್ನು
7 in order that he might show to everyone at all times in the future that he has acted toward us in an extremely kind way because of what Christ Jesus [did for us]. (aiōn g165)
೭ಮುಂದಿನ ಯುಗಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಮಗೆ ತೋರಿಸಬೇಕೆಂದು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತಯೇಸುವಿನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಆತನೊಂದಿಗೆ ಎಬ್ಬಿಸಿ, ಪರಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ಯೇಸುಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕೂರಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ. (aiōn g165)
8 It is [only] by [God] acting [PRS] [toward you] in a way that you did not deserve that you have been saved {that he has saved you} as a result of your trusting [in Christ]. You did not save yourselves. His saving you was his gift to you.
೮ನಂಬಿಕೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಕೃಪೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ನೀವು ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ಹೊಂದಿದವರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ. ಈ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯು ನಿಮ್ಮಿಂದುಂಟಾದದ್ದಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ದೇವರ ದಾನವೇ.
9 He did not save any of you because of anything you yourselves did. Because you have done nothing [to save yourselves], you cannot be proud of your efforts to save yourselves.
೯ಈ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಯೂ ಪುಣ್ಯಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳಿಂದ ಉಂಟಾದದ್ದಲ್ಲ, ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಹೊಗಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಯಾರಿಗೂ ಆಸ್ಪದವಿಲ್ಲ.
10 It is God who has made us what we are now. Because of our relationship with Christ Jesus, he has enabled us to receive [spiritual/eternal] life in order that we should conduct our lives habitually doing the good deeds that God previously planned for us to do.
೧೦ನಾವಾದರೋ ದೇವರ ಕಲಾಕೃತಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ, ದೇವರು ಮೊದಲೇ ನಮಗಾಗಿ ಸಂಕಲ್ಪಿಸಿದ್ದ ಸತ್ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡುವವರಾಗಿ ಬದುಕಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನಲ್ಲಿ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇವೆ.
11 You [Ephesians] have been non-Jews from the time that you were born. The Jews ([insult you/say that you are not God’s people]) [by] calling you ‘those who are not circumcised’. They [proudly] call themselves ‘we [(exc)] who are circumcised’. [They have allowed people to] circumcise [them to indicate that they are God’s people, but] that has [only] changed their bodies, [not their] ([inner beings/hearts]).
೧೧ಆದಕಾರಣ ಹಿಂದೊಮ್ಮೆ ನೀವು ಜನ್ಮದಿಂದ ಅನ್ಯಜನರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ ಎಂಬುದು ನಿಮಗೆ ನೆನಪಿರಲಿ. ಶರೀರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯನಿಂದ ಸುನ್ನತಿಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಸುನ್ನತಿಯವರೆನ್ನಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರಿಂದ ‘ಸುನ್ನತಿಯಿಲ್ಲದವರು’ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
12 You should constantly remember these things: Formerly you did not have any relationship with Christ. You did not belong to the people of Israel, [the people whom God chose]. You did not know about the things God promised in his agreements [with his people]. You did not confidently expect to go to heaven after you die (OR, [that God would save you]). You [lived] in this world without knowing God.
೧೨ಅಂದು ನೀವು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನಿಂದ ದೂರವಿದವರೂ, ಇಸ್ರಾಯೇಲ್ಯರ ಹಕ್ಕಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪಾಲಿಲ್ಲದವರೂ, ವಾಗ್ದಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಂಬಂಧವಾದ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಕೀಯರೂ, ಯಾವ ನಿರೀಕ್ಷೆಯಿಲ್ಲದವರೂ ಮತ್ತು ಲೋಕದಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರಿಲ್ಲದವರೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದಿರೆಂಬುದನ್ನು ಜ್ಞಾಪಕಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿರಿ.
13 But now, because of your relationship with Christ Jesus, God has brought you, who had no relationship with him [MET], into his family [MET]. He did that because [you trusted in what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed from his body when he died on the cross].
೧೩ಈಗಲಾದರೋ, ಮೊದಲು ದೂರವಾಗಿದ್ದ ನೀವು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತ ಯೇಸುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಆತನ ರಕ್ತದ ಮೂಲಕ ಸಮೀಪಸ್ಥರಾಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
14 Christ himself [has caused us Jewish and non-Jewish believers] to have peace [with each other]. He has made both [of our groups] to become one [group]. [Just like people] (tear down/demolish) a wall that separates [groups of people] [MET], he has destroyed the hatred [between Jews and non-Jews].
೧೪ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಒಂದುಮಾಡಿದವನಾದ ಆತನೇ ನಮಗೆ ಶಾಂತಿದಾತನಾಗಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಆತನು ವಿಧಿನಿಯಮಗಳಿಂದ ಕೂಡಿದ್ದ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳುಳ್ಳ ಧರ್ಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರವನ್ನು ನಿರರ್ಥಕಗೊಳಿಸಿ, ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಅಗಲಿಸಿದ್ದ ಹಗೆತನವೆಂಬ ಅಡ್ಡಗೋಡೆಯನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಶರೀರದಿಂದಲೇ ಕೆಡವಿಹಾಕಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
15 By dying [MTY] [for us on the cross] he made it no longer [necessary for us to obey] all the [Jewish] laws and rituals [in order to be saved]. He did that in order to enable the two [groups] to become one new group because of our relationship with him. The result was that he has caused us to have peace [with each other].
೧೫ಆತನು ಸಮಾಧಾನವನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡುವವನಾಗಿ, ಉಭಯರನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಒಂದುಗೂಡಿಸಿ ನೂತನ ಮಾನವನನ್ನಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
16 By [dying on] the cross [MTY] he caused both Jews and non-Jews to have a peaceful relationship with God. That is how he caused us to no longer be [MET] enemies [with God] (OR, [with each other]).
೧೬ನಮ್ಮ ಮೇಲೆ ಇದ್ದ ಹಗೆತನವನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಲ್ಲವಾಗಿಸಿ, ಆ ಶಿಲುಬೆಯ ಮೂಲಕ ಉಭಯರನ್ನೂ ಒಂದೇ ಶರೀರವನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿ ದೇವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಂಧಾನಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
17 He came [to earth] and proclaimed that you [non-Jews], who did not have a relationship with [MET] [God], and [us(exc) Jews], who [considered that we(exc) belonged to] [MET] God’s [family], can [all] now have peace [with God].
೧೭ಇದಲ್ಲದೆ ಆತನು ಬಂದು ದೂರವಾಗಿದ್ದ ನಿಮಗೂ ಮತ್ತು ಸಮೀಪವಾಗಿದ್ದವರಿಗೂ ಸಮಾಧಾನವನ್ನು ಸಾರಿದನು.
18 [We know that he has done that] because we both, [Jews and non-Jews], are [now] able to approach God the Father in prayer by the help of his Spirit, because of what Christ [has done].
೧೮ಇದರಿಂದ ಆತನ ಮೂಲಕ ಉಭಯತ್ರರು ಒಂದೇ ಆತ್ಮನಲ್ಲಿ ತಂದೆಯ ಬಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಲು ಮಾರ್ಗವಾಯಿತು.
19 So [God no longer treats] you [non-Jews] as [people treat] [MET] foreigners and strangers [who live among them] [MET]. Instead, along with all God’s people, [it is as though] you have become citizens of a country that he rules over, and [as though you have become] members of the family [of which he is the father] [MET].
೧೯ಹೀಗಿರಲಾಗಿ ನೀವು ಇನ್ನು ಮೇಲೆ ಪರದೇಶದವರೂ ಅನ್ಯರೂ ಆಗಿರದೇ ದೇವಜನರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಒಂದೇ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾನದವರೂ ದೇವರ ಮನೆಯವರೂ ಆಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ.
20 [Just like] a building is built {[as someone] builds a building} on a foundation, [God has joined you into one group that originated/began] from what the apostles and prophets [taught]. Christ Jesus is the [most important one in that group, just like a] cornerstone [is the most important part of a building]. And
೨೦ಅಪೊಸ್ತಲರೂ ಪ್ರವಾದಿಗಳೂ ಎಂಬ ಅಡಿಪಾಯದ ಮೇಲೆ ನೀವೂ ಮಂದಿರದೋಪಾದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೀರಿ. ಯೇಸು ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನೇ ಮುಖ್ಯವಾದ ಮೂಲೆಗಲ್ಲು.
21 just like [a builder might] join together all the parts of a building to make it a temple that [people will] dedicate to the Lord [MET], [Christ is continually causing all of] you who have a relationship with [him to be united, in order that you will become one holy group].
೨೧ಆತನಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಡದ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭಾಗಗಳು ಒಂದಕ್ಕೊಂದು ಹೊಂದಿಕೆಯಾಗಿ, ಕಟ್ಟಡವು ವೃದ್ಧಿಯಾಗುತ್ತಾ ಕರ್ತನಲ್ಲಿ ಪರಿಶುದ್ಧ ದೇವಾಲಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
22 And because of your relationship with Christ, [God] is joining you [non-Jews] together with [Jewish believers] to be [like] one building [MET] in which his Spirit lives.
೨೨ಆತನಲ್ಲಿ ನೀವೂ ಸಹ ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನ ಮೂಲಕವಾಗಿ ದೇವರಿಗೆ ವಾಸಸ್ಥಾನವಾಗುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೀರಿ.
