एफिसि 2

1 तिमीहरू त आफ्ना अपराधहरू र पापहरूमा मरेका थियौ ।

And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,

2 यस संसारको रीतिअनुसार तिमीहरू यस्ता कुराहरूमा एकपल्ट हिँडेका थियौ । आकाशको शक्तिको शासक अनुसार तिमीहरू हिँडेका थियौ । यो त्यसको आत्मा हो, जो अनाज्ञाकारीताका सन्तानहरूमा काम गर्दछ । (aiōn g165)

Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 हामी एकपल्ट यी सबै अविश्‍वासीहरू सँगै थियौँ । हाम्रो शरीरको खराब इच्छा अनुसार हामी चल्थ्यौँ र शरीर र मनका इच्छा अनुसार काम गर्ने गर्‍थ्‍यौँ । हामी अरू मानिसहरू जस्तै स्वभावले क्रोधका सन्तान थियौँ ।

Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.

4 तर परमेश्‍वरले आफ्नो महान् प्रेमले हामीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको कारण उहाँ दयामा धनी हुनुहुन्छ ।

But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

5 जब हामी आफ्ना अपराधहरूमा मरेका थियौँ, उहाँले हामी सबैलाई सँगै ख्रीष्‍टमा नयाँ जीवनमा ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँको अनुग्रहद्वारा तिमीहरू बचाइएका छौ ।

Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,

6 ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा हामीलाई परमेश्‍वरले उठाउनुभएको छ र स्वर्गीय स्थानहरूमा उहाँसँगै बसाल्नुभएको छ ।

And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,

7 आउँदा दिनहरूमा उहाँको अनुग्रहको प्रशस्तता हामीलाई प्रकट गराउने हेतुले उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो । ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा उहाँको दयाद्वारा उहाँले यो देखाउनुहुन्छ । (aiōn g165)

That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn g165)

8 किनकि तिमीहरू अनुग्रहबाट विश्‍वासद्वारा बचाइएका छौ, र यो तिमीहरूबाट आएको होइन तर यो परमेश्‍वरको उपहार हो ।

For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,

9 कामहरूबाट यो होइन, यसैकारण कसैले घमण्ड गर्न सक्दैन ।

Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.

10 किनकि हामीहरू परमेश्‍वरले धेरै पहिले देखि नै योजना गर्नुभएको असल काम गर्नको निम्ति र हामीहरू ती बमोजिम हिडौँ भनेर ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा सृजना गरिएका उहाँको हातका सिप हौँ ।

For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.

11 त्यसकारण यो कुरा सम्झ, कि एक समय तिमीहरू शरीरमा गैरयहूदीहरू थियौ । मानिसहरूका हातहरूबाट शरीरमा खतना भएकाहरूले तिमीहरूलाई “बेखातनाको” भनेर बोलाउँथे ।

Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,

12 किनकि त्यो समयमा तिमीहरू ख्रीष्‍टबाट अलगिएका थियौ । इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका निम्ति तिमीहरू परदेशी थियौ । तिमीहरू प्रतिज्ञाका करारबाट बिराना थियौ । तिमीहरूको भविष्‍यको कुनै निश्‍चयता थिएन । तिमीहरू परमेश्‍वर बिना यस संसारमा थियौ ।

That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.

13 तिमीहरू एक समय परमेश्‍वरबाट टाढा भएकाहरू, अब येशू ख्रीष्‍टको रगतद्वारा ख्रीष्‍ट येशूमा परमेश्‍वरसँग नजिक ल्याइएका छौ ।

But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

14 किनकि उहाँ हाम्रो शान्ति हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुईलाई एक बनाउनुभयो । हामीलाई एक अर्कामा विभाजन गर्ने शत्रुताका पर्खालहरू उहाँको शरीरद्वारा भत्काइएका छन् ।

For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,

15 अर्थात्, उहाँमा नै एउटा नयाँ मानिस सृष्‍टि गर्न, उहाँले नियमहरू र आज्ञाहरूका कानुनलाई खारेज गरिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मिलाप गराउनुभयो ।

In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,

16 उहाँको क्रूसद्वारा दुई मानिसलाई परमेश्‍वरमा शरीरमा एक बनाउनको निम्ति उहाँले यो गर्नुभयो । क्रुससँगै उहाँले शत्रुतालाई नाश गर्नुभयो ।

And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,

17 येशू आउनुभयो र धेरै टाढा र नजिक भएकाहरूलाई उहाँले शान्तिको घोषणा गर्नुभयो ।

And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.

18 किनकि येशूद्वारा हामी दुवै एउटै आत्मामा पिताकहाँ जान सक्छौँ ।

For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.

19 त्यसकारण, तिमी यहूदीहरू कोहीपनि नौलो मानिस वा परदेशी छैनौ । तर सबै परमेश्‍वरको निम्ति अलग गरिएकाहरू सँगै उहाँको राज्यको सँगी नागरिकहरू हौ र परमेश्‍वरको परिवारका सदस्यहरू हौ ।

Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

20 तिमीहरू प्रेरित र अगमवक्ताहरूको जग माथि बसालेर निर्माण गरिएका हौ । ख्रीष्‍ट येशू आफैँ कुने-ढुङ्गो हुनुहुन्छ ।

And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,

21 येशू ख्रीष्‍टमा उहाँको सारा निर्माण मिल्दै जान्छ र प्रभुमा एउटै मन्दिरको रूपमा बढ्दै जान्छ ।

In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.

22 अनि उहाँमा नै तिमीहरू पनि पवित्र आत्मामा परमेश्‍वरको वासस्थानको रूपमा सँगै निर्माण भइरहेका छौ ।

In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
