1 पावल, परमेश्‍वरको इच्छाद्वारा येशू ख्रीष्‍टको एक प्रेरितबाट परमेश्‍वरका निम्ति अलग गरिएका एफिससमा भएकाहरू र ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा विश्‍वासयोग्य भएकाहरूलाई,
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 हाम्रा पिता परमेश्‍वर र ख्रीष्‍ट येशूबाट तिमीहरूलाई अनुग्रह र शान्ति ।
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 परमेश्‍वर हाम्रा प्रभु येशू ख्रीष्‍टका पिताको प्रशंसा होस् । जसले हामीलाई हर प्रकारको आत्मिक आशिषले ख्रीष्‍टमा स्वर्गीय स्थानहरूमा आशिषित पार्नुभयो ।
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places 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 ।
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish 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 predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 नतिजा यो हो, कि परमेश्‍वरको महिमामय अनुग्रहको कारण सबैले उहाँको प्रशंसा गर्छन् । यो अनुग्रह उहाँले आफ्नो प्रियद्वारा सित्तैमा हामीलाई दिनुभएको छ ।
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
7 अपार अनुग्रहद्वारा उहाँको प्रिय पुत्रमा हामीले रगतबाट छुटकारा अनि पापको क्षमा पाउदछौँ ।
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8 पुरा बुद्धि र समझको पूर्णतामा उहाँले यस अनुग्रहचाहिँ प्रश‍स्त मात्रामा हामीलाई दिनुभएको थियो ।
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार ख्रीष्‍टमा प्रकाशमा ल्याउनुभएको उहाँको योजनाको गुप्‍त सत्यतालाई हाम्रो निम्ति प्रकट गर्नुभयो ।
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 उहाँको योजनाको पूर्णताको समय जब पूरा हुन्छ, तब ख्रीष्‍टमा परमेश्‍वरले स्वर्ग र पृथ्वीका सबै थोकलाई एक साथ ल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
11 येशू ख्रीष्‍टमा हामी परमेश्‍वरका सन्तानको रूपमा चुनिएका थियौँ । सबै कुरा आफ्नो इच्छा अनुसार गर्नुहुनेको योजनामा हामी अगिबाटै चुनिएका थियौँ ।
in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
12 उहाँको महिमाको प्रशंसाको निम्ति अस्तित्वमा रहन सकौँ भनेर परमेश्‍वरले यो गर्नुभयो । हामी ख्रीष्‍टमा भरोसा राख्‍ने पहिलो व्‍यक्तिहरू थियौँ ।
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in 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, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation, —in whom, having 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 ।
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own 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 cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward 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 to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge 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 ।
having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory 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 toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
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 worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made 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)
far above all rule, 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 ।
He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be 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 in all.
