एफिसि 1
1 पावल, परमेश्वरको इच्छाद्वारा येशू ख्रीष्टको एक प्रेरितबाट परमेश्वरका निम्ति अलग गरिएका एफिससमा भएकाहरू र ख्रीष्ट येशूमा विश्वासयोग्य भएकाहरूलाई,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints that are in Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 हाम्रा पिता परमेश्वर र ख्रीष्ट येशूबाट तिमीहरूलाई अनुग्रह र शान्ति ।
grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 परमेश्वर हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टका पिताको प्रशंसा होस् । जसले हामीलाई हर प्रकारको आत्मिक आशिषले ख्रीष्टमा स्वर्गीय स्थानहरूमा आशिषित पार्नुभयो ।
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ,
4 यस संसारको सृष्टिभन्दा पहिले नै हामी ख्रीष्टमा विश्वास गर्नेहरूलाई परमेश्वरले चुन्नुभयो । उहाँको दृष्टिमा पवित्र र दोषरहित हुन सकौँ भनेर उहाँले हामीलाई चुन्नुभयो ।
according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,
5 प्रेममा परमेश्वरले हामीलाई येशू ख्रीष्टद्वारा आफ्नै निज पुत्रहरूका रूपमा ग्रहण गर्नको निम्ति पूर्णनिर्धारण गर्नुभयो । उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो किनकि उहाँले योजना गर्नुभएको कुरा गर्न उहाँ प्रसन्न हुनुभयो ।
having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 नतिजा यो हो, कि परमेश्वरको महिमामय अनुग्रहको कारण सबैले उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्छन् । यो अनुग्रह उहाँले आफ्नो प्रियद्वारा सित्तैमा हामीलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved,
7 अपार अनुग्रहद्वारा उहाँको प्रिय पुत्रमा हामीले रगतबाट छुटकारा अनि पापको क्षमा पाउदछौँ ।
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
8 पुरा बुद्धि र समझको पूर्णतामा उहाँले यस अनुग्रहचाहिँ प्रशस्त मात्रामा हामीलाई दिनुभएको थियो ।
which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding,
9 परमेश्वरले आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार ख्रीष्टमा प्रकाशमा ल्याउनुभएको उहाँको योजनाको गुप्त सत्यतालाई हाम्रो निम्ति प्रकट गर्नुभयो ।
by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,
10 उहाँको योजनाको पूर्णताको समय जब पूरा हुन्छ, तब ख्रीष्टमा परमेश्वरले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका सबै थोकलाई एक साथ ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth;
11 येशू ख्रीष्टमा हामी परमेश्वरका सन्तानको रूपमा चुनिएका थियौँ । सबै कुरा आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार गर्नुहुनेको योजनामा हामी अगिबाटै चुनिएका थियौँ ।
in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 उहाँको महिमाको प्रशंसाको निम्ति अस्तित्वमा रहन सकौँ भनेर परमेश्वरले यो गर्नुभयो । हामी ख्रीष्टमा भरोसा राख्ने पहिलो व्यक्तिहरू थियौँ ।
that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:
13 ख्रीष्टमा तिमीहरूले सत्य वचन, तिमीहरूको छुट्काराको सुसमाचार सुनिसकेपछि, उहाँमा नै तिमीहरूले विश्वास गरेका छौ र प्रतिज्ञा सहितको पवित्र आत्माको छाप लगाइएका थियौ ।
in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 हामीले हाम्रो उत्तराधिकार प्राप्त नगरून्जेल सम्म पवित्र आत्मा हाम्रो उत्तराधिकारको निश्चयताको प्रमाण हुनुहुन्छ । यो उहाँको महिमाको प्रशंसाको लागि हो ।
which is the earnest of our inheritance, given for the redemption of his possession to the praise of his glory.
15 यसकारण प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टमा भएको तिमीहरूको विश्वासको बारेमा र उहाँको लागि छुट्टयाइएकाहरूका लागि तिमीहरूको प्रेमको सम्बन्धमा मैले सुनेको समय देखि,
For this reason I also, since I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love to all the saints,
16 मैले तिमीहरूको लागि परमेश्वरमा धन्यवाद दिन र मेरो प्रार्थनामा तिमीहरूलाई सम्झिन रोकेको छैन ।
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 म यो प्रार्थना गर्दछु, कि हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्टका परमेश्वर, महिमाका पिताले तिमीहरूलाई बुद्धिको आत्मा र उहाँको ज्ञानको प्रकाश दिऊन् ।
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the acknowledgment of him,
18 म यो प्रार्थना गर्दछु, कि हाम्रो बोलावटको निश्चयता के हो भनेर जान्नको निम्ति तिमीहरूका हृदयका आँखाहरू प्रज्वलित होऊन्, र उहाँको निम्ति अलग गरिएकाहरूका बिचमा उहाँको उत्तराधिकारको महिमाको प्रशस्तता के हो सो तिमीहरूले जान्न सकोस् ।
that, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints,
19 हामी विश्वास गर्नेहरूमा उहाँको शक्तिको अत्याधिक महानताको विषयमा तिमीहरूले जान्न सकोस् भनेर म प्रार्थना गर्दछु । यो महानता उहाँको शक्तिको तीव्रताको कार्य अनुसारको हो ।
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power,
20 यो यही शक्ति हो जुन परमेश्वरले ख्रीष्ट येशूलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्नुभएको र स्वर्गीय स्थानहरूमा उहाँको दाहिने बाहुलीमा येशूलाई बसाल्नुभएको समयमा येशू ख्रीष्टमा कार्य गर्दैथियो ।
which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 उहाँले येशूलाई सबै शासन, सबै अधिकार, शक्ति, प्रभुत्त्वहरू र हरेक नामभन्दा माथि राख्नुभयो । यस युगको लागि मात्र होइन, तर आउने युगको लागि पनि उहाँले ख्रीष्टलाई राख्नुभएको छ । (aiōn g165)
high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 परमेश्वरले सबै कुराहरू येशू ख्रीष्टको पाउमा सुम्पनुभएको छ र उहाँलाई नै मण्डलीमा सबै कुराहरू माथि शिर बनाउनुभएको छ ।
and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church,
23 उहाँले सबै तरिकामा सबै कुरा पूरा गर्नुहुन्छ, र उहाँको पूर्णता उहाँको शरीर, मण्डली हो ।
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,
