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.
१इफिस शहरातील पवित्र जन आणि ख्रिस्त येशूच्या ठायी विश्वास ठेवणारे यांना, देवाच्या इच्छेद्वारे ख्रिस्त येशूचा प्रेषित, पौल याच्याकडून
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.
२देव आपला पिता आणि प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्त यापासून तुम्हास कृपा व शांती असो.
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.
३आपल्या प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्ताच्या पित्याला धन्यवाद असो; स्वर्गीय गोष्टीविषयी प्रत्येक आत्मिक आशीर्वाद देऊन ज्या देवाने आम्हास ख्रिस्ताकडून आशीर्वादित केले आहे.
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],
४देवाने ख्रिस्तामध्ये विश्वास ठेवणाऱ्यांना जगाच्या रचनेपूर्वीच निवडले यासाठी की आम्ही त्याच्या समक्षतेत पवित्र आणि निर्दोष असावे.
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.
५देवाच्या प्रीतीप्रमाणे, येशू ख्रिस्ताद्वारे त्याचे स्वतःचे पुत्र होण्याकरता आम्हास दत्तक घेण्यासाठी पूर्वीच आमची नेमणूक केली.
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}.
६त्याने हे सर्व देवाच्या गौरवी कृपेची स्तुती व्हावी म्हणून केले. ही कृपा त्याने त्याच्या प्रिय पुत्राद्वारे आम्हास भरपूर केली.
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.
७त्या प्रिय पुत्राच्या ठायी रक्ताने खंडणी भरून आम्हास मुक्त करण्यात आले आहे, देवाच्या कृपेच्या विपुलतेने आम्हास आमच्या पापांची क्षमा मिळाली आहे.
8 He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
८देवाची ही कृपा आम्हास सर्व ज्ञानाने आणि विवेकाने भरपूर पुरवण्यात आली आहे.
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.
९देवाने गुप्त सत्याची योजना आपणास कळवली आहे जी त्याने ख्रिस्ताच्याद्वारे आपल्या इच्छेप्रमाणे प्रदर्शित केली.
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].
१०देवाच्या योजनेप्रमाणे जेव्हा काळाची पूर्णता होईल तेव्हा तो स्वर्गातील आणि पृथ्वीवरील सर्वकाही ख्रिस्तामध्ये एकत्र आणील.
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,
११देवाचे लोक म्हणून आम्ही पूर्वीच ख्रिस्तामध्ये त्याच्या योजनेप्रमाणे नेमले गेलो होतो, जो सर्व गोष्टी हेतुपूर्वक त्याच्या इच्छेप्रमाणे करतो,
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.
१२ह्यासाठी की ख्रिस्ताच्या गौरवाची स्तुती यहूदी आमच्याकडून व्हावी, ज्याच्यावर आम्ही आधीच आशा ठेवली.
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].
१३ख्रिस्ताद्वारे तुम्हीसुद्धा खऱ्या वचनाची आणि तुमच्या तारणाची सुवार्ता ऐकली आहे आणि त्यावर विश्वास ठेवला, तेव्हा पवित्र आत्म्याच्या अभिवचनाचा तुम्हावर शिक्का मारण्यात आलेला आहे.
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.
१४त्याच्या प्रियजनांची खंडणी भरून मिळवलेल्या मुक्तीसाठी हा पवित्र आत्मा आपल्या वतनाचा पुरावा आहे जेणेकरून देवाच्या गौरवाची स्तुती व्हावी.
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,
१५म्हणून तुमच्यामधील असलेला प्रभू येशूवरचा विश्वास व तुमची पवित्रजनांवरची प्रीती विषयी ऐकून
16 I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
१६मीही तुमच्यासाठी देवाला धन्यवाद देण्याचे आणि माझ्या प्रार्थनेत तुमची आठवण करण्याचे थांबवले नाही.
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.
१७मी अशी प्रार्थना करतो की, आमच्या प्रभू येशू ख्रिस्ताचा देव, गौरवी पिता, ह्याने तुम्हास आपल्या ओळखीच्या ज्ञानाचा व प्रकटीकरणाचा आत्मा द्यावा;
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.
१८म्हणजे तुमच्या मनाचे डोळे प्रकाशित होऊन तुम्हास हे समजावे की, त्याच्या बोलवण्याच्या आशेची निश्चितता काय आहे, त्याच्या वतनाच्या गौरवाची संपत्ती पवित्र लोकात किती आहे,
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
१९आणि आपण जे विश्वास ठेवणारे त्या आपल्यासाठी त्याच्या सामर्थ्याचे अपार महत्त्व ते काय ते तुम्ही त्याच्या शक्तीशाली पराक्रमाच्या कामावरून ओळखून घ्यावे.
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.
२०त्याने ती कृती ख्रिस्ताच्याद्वारे करून त्यास मरणातून उठविले आणि स्वर्गात देवाच्या उजव्या बाजूला बसविले.
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)
२१त्याने त्यास सर्व अधिपती, अधिकारी, सामर्थ्य, प्रभूत्व आणि प्रत्येक सामर्थ्याचे नाव जे याकाळी नव्हे तर येणाऱ्या काळीही दिले जाईल त्या सर्वांपेक्षा फार उंच केले. (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.
२२देवाने सर्वकाही ख्रिस्ताच्या पायाखाली केले आणि त्यास सर्वांवर मंडळीचे मस्तक म्हणून दिले.
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.
२३हेच ख्रिस्ताचे शरीर. जो सर्वांनी सर्वकाही भरतो त्याने ते भरलेले आहे.
