Ephesians 1
1 I, Paul, am an apostle whom God appointed (to represent/to proclaim the message about) Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. [I am writing this letter] to you who are the people of God in Ephesus [city. You are people who] (faithfully/continue to) trust in Christ Jesus and who have a close relationship with him.
१पौलुस की ओर से जो परमेश्वर की इच्छा से यीशु मसीह का प्रेरित है, उन पवित्र और मसीह यीशु में विश्वासी लोगों के नाम जो इफिसुस में हैं,
2 [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to have [inner] peace.
२हमारे पिता परमेश्वर और प्रभु यीशु मसीह की ओर से तुम्हें अनुग्रह और शान्ति मिलती रहे।
3 Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of our relationship with Christ, he has blessed us spiritually in every way by giving us blessings that come from heaven.
३हमारे परमेश्वर और प्रभु यीशु मसीह के पिता का धन्यवाद हो कि उसने हमें मसीह में स्वर्गीय स्थानों में सब प्रकार की आत्मिक आशीष दी है।
4 Before God created the world, he chose us to be his people because of our (relationship with/union with) Christ, in order that [God could consider] us to be completely holy [DOU]. Because [God] loves [us],
४जैसा उसने हमें जगत की उत्पत्ति से पहले उसमें चुन लिया कि हम उसकी दृष्टि में पवित्र और निर्दोष हों।
5 he decided long ago that he would adopt us to be [as though we were] his own children because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. He decided to do that because it pleased him to do that.
५और प्रेम में उसने अपनी इच्छा के भले अभिप्राय के अनुसार हमें अपने लिये पहले से ठहराया कि यीशु मसीह के द्वारा हम उसके लेपालक पुत्र हों,
6 He did it in order that we would praise him for acting very kindly toward us in a wonderful way that we did not deserve. He did it because of our relationship with his beloved Son {[one, who is also God, whom he] loves}.
६कि उसके उस अनुग्रह की महिमा की स्तुति हो, जिसे उसने हमें अपने प्रिय पुत्र के द्वारा सेंत-मेंत दिया।
7 When the blood of Christ [flowed when he died] [MTY], [it was as though] he paid a price to free/save us [from the guilt of our sins]. [That] ([provided a way/made it possible]) [for] God to act very kindly toward us to forgive us for having sinned.
७हमको मसीह में उसके लहू के द्वारा छुटकारा, अर्थात् अपराधों की क्षमा, परमेश्वर के उस अनुग्रह के धन के अनुसार मिला है,
8 He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
८जिसे उसने सारे ज्ञान और समझ सहित हम पर बहुतायत से किया।
9 He has enabled us to know the things that he had planned secretly (OR, that he had not revealed to anyone yet). He did that because he wanted to do that, and because he planned to do that by means of the things Christ would do.
९उसने अपनी इच्छा का भेद, अपने भले अभिप्राय के अनुसार हमें बताया, जिसे उसने अपने आप में ठान लिया था,
10 God planned that at the time that [he appointed], he would unite all things/beings in heaven and all things/beings on earth (OR, all beings in heaven and all things on earth), and cause Christ to be the one who will rule them [MET].
१०कि परमेश्वर की योजना के अनुसार, समय की पूर्ति होने पर, जो कुछ स्वर्ग में और जो कुछ पृथ्वी पर है, सब कुछ वह मसीह में एकत्र करे।
11 Because of our close relationship with Christ, God has also chosen us [(inc)] (OR, us [(exc)] Jews) to receive what he has promised [to give] us. He decided long ago to do that. It was exactly what he planned. He accomplishes everything exactly as he plans and desires,
११मसीह में हम भी उसी की मनसा से जो अपनी इच्छा के मत के अनुसार सब कुछ करता है, पहले से ठहराए जाकर विरासत बने।
12 in order that we(exc) Jews, who confidently expected the Messiah to do great things for us before the non-Jews expected such things (OR, we [(inc)] who were already confidently expecting Christ [to do great things for us]) will praise him for his greatness.
१२कि हम जिन्होंने पहले से मसीह पर आशा रखी थी, उसकी महिमा की स्तुति का कारण हों।
13 You [Ephesians] also heard the true message, the good message about how God saves you. [People] put their seal on something to show that [it belongs to them]. Similarly, when you believed [in Christ], God [showed that you also belong to him by sending you] the Holy Spirit as he promised to do [MET].
१३और उसी में तुम पर भी जब तुम ने सत्य का वचन सुना, जो तुम्हारे उद्धार का सुसमाचार है, और जिस पर तुम ने विश्वास किया, प्रतिज्ञा किए हुए पवित्र आत्मा की छाप लगी।
14 The Holy Spirit is [like] [MET] a (deposit/down payment). That is, he (guarantees/assures us) that [we will receive] all that God has promised to give us, at the time when God will give to those who belong to him [MET] everything that [Christ] freed us to receive. [God also assures you that you belong to him], in order that you would praise him for his greatness.
१४वह उसके मोल लिए हुओं के छुटकारे के लिये हमारी विरासत का बयाना है, कि उसकी महिमा की स्तुति हो।
15 Because of [what God has done for you], and because [people] told me that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus and that you love all those who belong to God,
१५इस कारण, मैं भी उस विश्वास जो तुम लोगों में प्रभु यीशु पर है और सब पवित्र लोगों के प्रति प्रेम का समाचार सुनकर,
16 I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
१६तुम्हारे लिये परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद करना नहीं छोड़ता, और अपनी प्रार्थनाओं में तुम्हें स्मरण किया करता हूँ।
17 [I pray] that God, who is the glorious/wonderful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may cause his Spirit to make you wise, and that his Spirit will reveal [God to you] so that you may fully know him.
१७कि हमारे प्रभु यीशु मसीह का परमेश्वर जो महिमा का पिता है, तुम्हें बुद्धि की आत्मा और अपने ज्ञान का प्रकाश दे।
18 And I pray that God would enable you to understand [MTY] his truth, in order that in your (inner beings/hearts) you may know the things that we believers should confidently expect to receive because he chose us [to be his people]. And I pray that you will know how God will bless his people in a very wonderful way [when we finally receive] all that he has promised to give us.
१८और तुम्हारे मन की आँखें ज्योतिर्मय हों कि तुम जान लो कि हमारे बुलाहट की आशा क्या है, और पवित्र लोगों में उसकी विरासत की महिमा का धन कैसा है।
19 And [I pray that] you will know how very powerfully [God helps] us who continue to trust [in Christ]. He works powerfully for us
१९और उसकी सामर्थ्य हमारी ओर जो विश्वास करते हैं, कितनी महान है, उसकी शक्ति के प्रभाव के उस कार्य के अनुसार।
20 just like he acted powerfully for Christ when he caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and put him in the place of highest/greatest honor [MTY] in heaven.
२०जो उसने मसीह के विषय में किया, कि उसको मरे हुओं में से जिलाकर स्वर्गीय स्थानों में अपनी दाहिनी ओर,
21 [There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
२१सब प्रकार की प्रधानता, और अधिकार, और सामर्थ्य, और प्रभुता के, और हर एक नाम के ऊपर, जो न केवल इस लोक में, पर आनेवाले लोक में भी लिया जाएगा, बैठाया; (aiōn g165)
22 God has caused all beings to be subject to Christ [MTY], and he has also appointed Christ, who rules over all things, to rule [MET] over all believers.
२२और सब कुछ उसके पाँवों तले कर दिया और उसे सब वस्तुओं पर शिरोमणि ठहराकर कलीसिया को दे दिया,
23 We believers [relate to Christ like the parts of a person’s] body [MET] [relate to its head]. Christ uses all [his power among us] just like he uses his power throughout the whole universe.
२३यह उसकी देह है, और उसी की परिपूर्णता है, जो सब में सब कुछ पूर्ण करता है।
