एफिसि 5
1 त्यसकारण परमेश्वरका प्रिय छोरा-छोरीहरू झैँ उहाँको अनुकरण गर्ने होओ ।
Be, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children;
2 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 ।
and walk in love, even as Christ has loved us, and has given himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God, for a sweet smelling savor.
3 जस्तो विश्वासीहरूका लागि उपयुक्त हुन्छ, तिमीहरूको बिचमा कामुक अनैतिकता वा कुनै अशुद्धता वा कामवासनाको लालसाको बारेमा चर्चा नहोस् ।
But whoredom, and all uncleanness, and inordinate desire-- let them not even be named among you; (as it becomes saints; )
4 नकि अश्लिलता, मूर्ख बोली वा अपमानजनक ठट्यौलीहरू होस् जुनचाहिँ अनुचित छन् । बरु धन्यवाद दिने काम होस् ।
nor obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor double meanings, nor things uncomely; but rather thanksgiving.
5 तिमीहरूले यो निश्चय गर, कि कुनै कामुक रूपमा अनैतिक, अशुद्ध, वा लालसित व्यक्तिले ख्रीष्ट र परमेश्वरको राज्यमा कुनै उत्तराधिकार पाउँदैन, किनकि त्यो मूर्तिपूजक हो ।
For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor lascivious man, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
6 तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि फोस्रा कुराहरूले धोखा नदिओस् । यी कुराहरूको कारण अनाज्ञाकारिताका पुत्रहरूमा परमेश्वरको क्रोध आउनेछ ।
Let no one deceive you with vain speeches; for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
7 यसैले गर्दा तिनीहरूसँग सहभागी नहोओ ।
Be not, therefore, participants with them.
8 किनकि तिमीहरू एकचोटी अन्धकार थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा ज्योति भएका छौ । यसैले ज्योतिका सन्तान जस्तै गरी हिँड ।
For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light.
9 किनकि ज्योतिको फल सबै भलाइ, धार्मिकता र सत्यतामा हुन्छ ।
(Now, the fruit of life consists in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth.)
10 परमप्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउने कुराहरू पत्ता लगाऊ ।
Approve what is well pleasing to the Lord.
11 अन्धकारका फलहिन कार्यहरूमा सहभागी नहोओ । बरु, तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर ।
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.
12 किनकि तिनीहरूद्वारा गोप्यमा गरिएका कार्यहरू वर्णन गर्न पनि लाजमर्दो छ ।
For the things which are secretly done by them, it is base even to mention.
13 सबै थोक जब ज्योतिमा आउँछन्, तब ती प्रकट हुन्छन्,
But all these reprehensible things are made manifest by the light; for whatever makes manifest is light.
14 किनकि प्रकट भएका सबै कुरा ज्योतिमा प्रकाशमान हुन्छन् । त्यसकारण यस्तो भनिएको छ कि, “सुताहा हो जाग, र मरेकाहरूबाट उठ, र ख्रीष्ट तिमीमा चम्कनुहुनेछ ।”
Wherefore, it says, Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.
15 त्यसकारण तिमी कसरी हिँड्छौ भन्ने कुरामा होसियार होओ, मूर्ख जस्तो होइन तर बुद्धिमानजस्तो ।
See, then, that you walk accurately: not as fools, but as wise men;
16 समयलाई बचाओ, किनकि दिनहरू खराब छन् ।
redeeming time, because the days are evil.
17 मूर्ख नबन । बरु, प्रभुको इच्छा के हो, सो बुझ ।
Therefore be not simpletons, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 र दाखमद्यले नमात्तीओ, किनकि त्यसले विनाशतर्फ डोर्याउँछ । तर त्यसको सट्टामा, पवित्र आत्माले भरिओ ।
And we not drunk with wine, by which comes dissoluteness; but be filled with the Spirit:
19 एक-अर्कामा भजनहरूमा र आत्मिक गीतहरूमा बोल । परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूका हृदयमा गीतहरू गाउँदै प्रशंसा गर ।
speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs; singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord:
20 येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा, सधैँ सबै कुराहरूको निम्ति पिता परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाओ ।
giving thanks at all times for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father.
21 ख्रीष्टको आदरको लागि एकअर्काको अधिनमा रहो ।
Be subject to one another, in the fear of God.
22 पत्नीहरू हो, प्रभुको अधीनमा रहे जस्तो आफ्ना पतिहरूको अधीनमा बस ।
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23 किनकि पति पत्नीको शिर हो, जसरी ख्रीष्ट पनि मण्डलीको शिर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ शरीरको उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ ।
For the husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is head of the congregation; he is the saviour of the body.
24 तर जसरी मण्डली ख्रीष्टप्रति समर्पित छ, त्यसरी नै पत्नीहरूलेपनि आफ्ना पतिहरूप्रति सबैथोकमा त्यसै गर्नुपर्दछ ।
Therefore, as the congregation is subject to Christ; so, also, let the wives be to their own husbands, in everything.
25 पतिहरू हो, जसरी ख्रीष्टले मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो र आफैँलाई तिनको निम्ति समर्पित गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई प्रेम गर ।
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ, also, loved the congregation, and gave himself for it;
26 उहाँले तिनलाई पवित्र गर्न यसो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई वचनमा पानीले धोएर शुद्ध पार्नुभयो ।
that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it with a bath of water, with the word.
27 दागरहित वा चाउरी नभएको वा अन्य यस्ता कुनै थोक नभएको, तर पवित्र र दोषरहित, महिमित मण्डली आफ्नै निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्नको निम्ति उहाँले यस्तो गर्नुभयो ।
That he might present it to himself glorious, a congregation not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it might be holy, and without blemish.
28 यस्तै प्रकारले पतिहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई आफ्ना शरीरलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो पत्नीलाई प्रेम गर्नेले आफैँलाई प्रेम गर्छ ।
So ought husbands to love their own wives, as their own bodies: he who loves his own wife, loves himself.
29 कहिल्यै पनि कसैले आफ्नो शरीरलाई घृणा गरेको छैन । बरु, उसले यसलाई पालन-पोषण गरेर प्रेम गर्दछ, जसरी ख्रीष्टले पनि मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ ।
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the congregation:
30 किनकि हामी उहाँका शरीरका सदस्यहरू हौँ ।
because we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 “यसैकारणले गर्दा एकजना मानिसले उसको बुबा र आमालाई छोड्नेछ र उसको पत्नीसँग मिल्नेछ, र ती दुई एउटै शरीर हुनेछन् ।”
For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.
32 यो एउटा महान् गुप्त सत्यता हो, तर मैले ख्रीष्ट र उहाँको मण्डलीको बारेमा बताइरहेको छु ।
This is a great mystery; but I speak concerning Christ and the congregation.
33 तथापि, तिमीहरू प्रत्येकले आफ्ना पत्नीलाई आफूलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ, र पत्नीले पतिलाई सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Therefore, also, let every one of you in particular, so love his own wife as himself; and let the wife reverence her husband.
