इफिसियों 5
So then, imitate God since you're his much-loved children.
2 २ और प्रेम में चलो जैसे मसीह ने भी तुम से प्रेम किया; और हमारे लिये अपने आपको सुखदायक सुगन्ध के लिये परमेश्वर के आगे भेंट करके बलिदान कर दिया।
Live in love, just as Christ loved you. He gave himself for us, a gift and sacrificial offering to God like a sweet-smelling perfume.
3 ३ जैसा पवित्र लोगों के योग्य है, वैसा तुम में व्यभिचार, और किसी प्रकार के अशुद्ध काम, या लोभ की चर्चा तक न हो।
Sexual immorality or any kind of indecency or greed should never be mentioned concerning you, as God's people should not be doing such things.
4 ४ और न निर्लज्जता, न मूर्खता की बातचीत की, न उपहास किया, क्योंकि ये बातें शोभा नहीं देती, वरन् धन्यवाद ही सुना जाए।
Obscene talk, stupid chatter, and coarse jokes are totally inappropriate—instead you should be thanking God.
5 ५ क्योंकि तुम यह जानते हो कि किसी व्यभिचारी, या अशुद्ध जन, या लोभी मनुष्य की, जो मूर्तिपूजक के बराबर है, मसीह और परमेश्वर के राज्य में विरासत नहीं।
You know it's absolutely sure that no-one who is sexually immoral, or commits indecency, or who is greedy, or is an idol-worshiper will inherit anything in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6 ६ कोई तुम्हें व्यर्थ बातों से धोखा न दे; क्योंकि इन ही कामों के कारण परमेश्वर का क्रोध आज्ञा न माननेवालों पर भड़कता है।
Don't let anyone fool you with lying words, for it's because of such things that God's judgment is passed on the children of disobedience.
So don't partner with them in this.
At one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. You are to live as children of light
(and the fruit of light is everything that's good and right and true),
demonstrating what the Lord really appreciates.
Don't have anything to do with the pointless things that darkness produces—instead expose them.
It's shameful even to speak about the things such people do secretly,
13 १३ पर जितने कामों पर उलाहना दिया जाता है वे सब ज्योति से प्रगट होते हैं, क्योंकि जो सब कुछ को प्रगट करता है, वह ज्योति है।
but when anything is exposed by the light then it's revealed as it is. Light makes everything visible.
14 १४ इस कारण वह कहता है, “हे सोनेवाले जाग और मुर्दों में से जी उठ; तो मसीह की ज्योति तुझ पर चमकेगी।”
That's why it's said, “Wake up, those of you who are sleeping, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 १५ इसलिए ध्यान से देखो, कि कैसी चाल चलते हो; निर्बुद्धियों के समान नहीं पर बुद्धिमानों के समान चलो।
So be careful how you live your life, not foolishly, but wisely,
making the best use of opportunities because the days are evil.
So don't be ignorant—find out what the Lord's will is.
Don't get drunk on wine which will wreck your life, but be filled with the Spirit.
19 १९ और आपस में भजन और स्तुतिगान और आत्मिक गीत गाया करो, और अपने-अपने मन में प्रभु के सामने गाते और स्तुति करते रहो।
Share together with one another, using psalms and hymns and sacred songs, singing and making music to the Lord to express what you feel.
Always thank God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Each of you should be willing to accept what others tell you to do out of reverence for Christ.
Wives, do what your own husbands tell you to do, as you would if the Lord told you.
23 २३ क्योंकि पति तो पत्नी का सिर है जैसे कि मसीह कलीसिया का सिर है; और आप ही देह का उद्धारकर्ता है।
The husband is head of the wife in the same way as Christ is head of the church—his body and its savior.
In the same way that the church does what Christ says, wives should do what their husbands tell them in all things.
25 २५ हे पतियों, अपनी-अपनी पत्नी से प्रेम रखो, जैसा मसीह ने भी कलीसिया से प्रेम करके अपने आपको उसके लिये दे दिया,
Husbands, you should love your wives in the same way as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.
He made it holy, he made it clean by washing in the water of the word,
27 २७ और उसे एक ऐसी तेजस्वी कलीसिया बनाकर अपने पास खड़ी करे, जिसमें न कलंक, न झुर्री, न कोई ऐसी वस्तु हो, वरन् पवित्र और निर्दोष हो।
so that he could make the church his own, with no flaw or blemish or any kind of fault, but holy and blameless.
28 २८ इसी प्रकार उचित है, कि पति अपनी-अपनी पत्नी से अपनी देह के समान प्रेम रखे, जो अपनी पत्नी से प्रेम रखता है, वह अपने आप से प्रेम रखता है।
Husbands should love their wives just like this, as they love their own bodies. A man who loves his wife loves himself—
29 २९ क्योंकि किसी ने कभी अपने शरीर से बैर नहीं रखा वरन् उसका पालन-पोषण करता है, जैसा मसीह भी कलीसिया के साथ करता है।
for no one ever hated his own body, but feeds it and looks after it, just as Christ does for the church,
for we are parts of his body.
“This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is joined to his wife, and the two are united in one.”
This is a deep hidden truth—but I'm talking about Christ and the church.
However, each husband should love his own wife as he does himself, and the wife should respect her husband.
