Ephesians 5
1 Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,
त्यसकारण परमेश्वरका प्रिय छोरा-छोरीहरू झैँ उहाँको अनुकरण गर्ने होओ ।
2 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odour of a sweet smell,
र ख्रीष्टले हामीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएर आफैँलाई हाम्रो निम्ति दिनुभए झैँ तिमीहरू प्रेममा हिँड । परमेश्वरको निम्ति सुगन्धित सुवास्ना हुनको निम्ति उहाँ एक भेटी र बलिदान हुनुहुन्थ्यो ।
3 and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
जस्तो विश्वासीहरूका लागि उपयुक्त हुन्छ, तिमीहरूको बिचमा कामुक अनैतिकता वा कुनै अशुद्धता वा कामवासनाको लालसाको बारेमा चर्चा नहोस् ।
4 also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, — the things not fit — but rather thanksgiving;
नकि अश्लिलता, मूर्ख बोली वा अपमानजनक ठट्यौलीहरू होस् जुनचाहिँ अनुचित छन् । बरु धन्यवाद दिने काम होस् ।
5 for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in the reign of the Christ and God.
तिमीहरूले यो निश्चय गर, कि कुनै कामुक रूपमा अनैतिक, अशुद्ध, वा लालसित व्यक्तिले ख्रीष्ट र परमेश्वरको राज्यमा कुनै उत्तराधिकार पाउँदैन, किनकि त्यो मूर्तिपूजक हो ।
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,
तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि फोस्रा कुराहरूले धोखा नदिओस् । यी कुराहरूको कारण अनाज्ञाकारिताका पुत्रहरूमा परमेश्वरको क्रोध आउनेछ ।
7 become not, then, partakers with them,
यसैले गर्दा तिनीहरूसँग सहभागी नहोओ ।
8 for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
किनकि तिमीहरू एकचोटी अन्धकार थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा ज्योति भएका छौ । यसैले ज्योतिका सन्तान जस्तै गरी हिँड ।
9 for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
किनकि ज्योतिको फल सबै भलाइ, धार्मिकता र सत्यतामा हुन्छ ।
10 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
परमप्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउने कुराहरू पत्ता लगाऊ ।
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,
अन्धकारका फलहिन कार्यहरूमा सहभागी नहोओ । बरु, तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर ।
12 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,
किनकि तिनीहरूद्वारा गोप्यमा गरिएका कार्यहरू वर्णन गर्न पनि लाजमर्दो छ ।
13 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
सबै थोक जब ज्योतिमा आउँछन्, तब ती प्रकट हुन्छन्,
14 wherefore he saith, 'Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
किनकि प्रकट भएका सबै कुरा ज्योतिमा प्रकाशमान हुन्छन् । त्यसकारण यस्तो भनिएको छ कि, “सुताहा हो जाग, र मरेकाहरूबाट उठ, र ख्रीष्ट तिमीमा चम्कनुहुनेछ ।”
15 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,
त्यसकारण तिमी कसरी हिँड्छौ भन्ने कुरामा होसियार होओ, मूर्ख जस्तो होइन तर बुद्धिमानजस्तो ।
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil;
समयलाई बचाओ, किनकि दिनहरू खराब छन् ।
17 because of this become not fools, but — understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
मूर्ख नबन । बरु, प्रभुको इच्छा के हो, सो बुझ ।
18 and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled in the Spirit,
र दाखमद्यले नमात्तीओ, किनकि त्यसले विनाशतर्फ डोर्याउँछ । तर त्यसको सट्टामा, पवित्र आत्माले भरिओ ।
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,
एक-अर्कामा भजनहरूमा र आत्मिक गीतहरूमा बोल । परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूका हृदयमा गीतहरू गाउँदै प्रशंसा गर ।
20 giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father;
येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा, सधैँ सबै कुराहरूको निम्ति पिता परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाओ ।
21 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God.
ख्रीष्टको आदरको लागि एकअर्काको अधिनमा रहो ।
22 The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to the Lord,
पत्नीहरू हो, प्रभुको अधीनमा रहे जस्तो आफ्ना पतिहरूको अधीनमा बस ।
23 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,
किनकि पति पत्नीको शिर हो, जसरी ख्रीष्ट पनि मण्डलीको शिर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ शरीरको उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ ।
24 but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything.
तर जसरी मण्डली ख्रीष्टप्रति समर्पित छ, त्यसरी नै पत्नीहरूलेपनि आफ्ना पतिहरूप्रति सबैथोकमा त्यसै गर्नुपर्दछ ।
25 The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did love the assembly, and did give himself for it,
पतिहरू हो, जसरी ख्रीष्टले मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो र आफैँलाई तिनको निम्ति समर्पित गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई प्रेम गर ।
26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the bathing of the water in the saying,
उहाँले तिनलाई पवित्र गर्न यसो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई वचनमा पानीले धोएर शुद्ध पार्नुभयो ।
27 that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory, not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it may be holy and unblemished;
दागरहित वा चाउरी नभएको वा अन्य यस्ता कुनै थोक नभएको, तर पवित्र र दोषरहित, महिमित मण्डली आफ्नै निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्नको निम्ति उहाँले यस्तो गर्नुभयो ।
28 so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies: he who is loving his own wife — himself he doth love;
यस्तै प्रकारले पतिहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई आफ्ना शरीरलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो पत्नीलाई प्रेम गर्नेले आफैँलाई प्रेम गर्छ ।
29 for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish and cherish it, as also the Lord — the assembly,
कहिल्यै पनि कसैले आफ्नो शरीरलाई घृणा गरेको छैन । बरु, उसले यसलाई पालन-पोषण गरेर प्रेम गर्दछ, जसरी ख्रीष्टले पनि मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ ।
30 because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones;
किनकि हामी उहाँका शरीरका सदस्यहरू हौँ ।
31 'for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be — the two — for one flesh;'
“यसैकारणले गर्दा एकजना मानिसले उसको बुबा र आमालाई छोड्नेछ र उसको पत्नीसँग मिल्नेछ, र ती दुई एउटै शरीर हुनेछन् ।”
32 this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;
यो एउटा महान् गुप्त सत्यता हो, तर मैले ख्रीष्ट र उहाँको मण्डलीको बारेमा बताइरहेको छु ।
33 but ye also, every one in particular — let each his own wife so love as himself, and the wife — that she may reverence the husband.
तथापि, तिमीहरू प्रत्येकले आफ्ना पत्नीलाई आफूलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ, र पत्नीले पतिलाई सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ ।
