एफिसि 5
1 त्यसकारण परमेश्वरका प्रिय छोरा-छोरीहरू झैँ उहाँको अनुकरण गर्ने होओ ।
Therefore be imitators of God, as dearly loved 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, as also Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 जस्तो विश्वासीहरूका लागि उपयुक्त हुन्छ, तिमीहरूको बिचमा कामुक अनैतिकता वा कुनै अशुद्धता वा कामवासनाको लालसाको बारेमा चर्चा नहोस् ।
But there must not be even a suggestion among you of sexual immorality or any kind of impurity or of greed, for these are improper for God's holy people.
4 नकि अश्लिलता, मूर्ख बोली वा अपमानजनक ठट्यौलीहरू होस् जुनचाहिँ अनुचित छन् । बरु धन्यवाद दिने काम होस् ।
Let there be no filthiness, no foolish talk, and no crude jokes—all of which are improper. Instead there should be 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 you can be sure of this, that no sexually immoral, impure, or greedy person—that is, an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6 तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि फोस्रा कुराहरूले धोखा नदिओस् । यी कुराहरूको कारण अनाज्ञाकारिताका पुत्रहरूमा परमेश्वरको क्रोध आउनेछ ।
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the anger of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.
7 यसैले गर्दा तिनीहरूसँग सहभागी नहोओ ।
Therefore, do not join in with them.
8 किनकि तिमीहरू एकचोटी अन्धकार थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा ज्योति भएका छौ । यसैले ज्योतिका सन्तान जस्तै गरी हिँड ।
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 किनकि ज्योतिको फल सबै भलाइ, धार्मिकता र सत्यतामा हुन्छ ।
(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 परमप्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउने कुराहरू पत्ता लगाऊ ।
and find out what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 अन्धकारका फलहिन कार्यहरूमा सहभागी नहोओ । बरु, तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर ।
Do not associate with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 किनकि तिनीहरूद्वारा गोप्यमा गरिएका कार्यहरू वर्णन गर्न पनि लाजमर्दो छ ।
For it is shameful even to mention the things they do in secret.
13 सबै थोक जब ज्योतिमा आउँछन्, तब ती प्रकट हुन्छन्,
But when anything is illuminated by the light, it becomes visible.
14 किनकि प्रकट भएका सबै कुरा ज्योतिमा प्रकाशमान हुन्छन् । त्यसकारण यस्तो भनिएको छ कि, “सुताहा हो जाग, र मरेकाहरूबाट उठ, र ख्रीष्ट तिमीमा चम्कनुहुनेछ ।”
For anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, you sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 त्यसकारण तिमी कसरी हिँड्छौ भन्ने कुरामा होसियार होओ, मूर्ख जस्तो होइन तर बुद्धिमानजस्तो ।
Look carefully how you live—not as unwise but as wise.
16 समयलाई बचाओ, किनकि दिनहरू खराब छन् ।
Redeem the time because the days are evil.
17 मूर्ख नबन । बरु, प्रभुको इच्छा के हो, सो बुझ ।
Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18 र दाखमद्यले नमात्तीओ, किनकि त्यसले विनाशतर्फ डोर्याउँछ । तर त्यसको सट्टामा, पवित्र आत्माले भरिओ ।
And do not get drunk with wine, for that leads to reckless behavior. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
19 एक-अर्कामा भजनहरूमा र आत्मिक गीतहरूमा बोल । परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूका हृदयमा गीतहरू गाउँदै प्रशंसा गर ।
speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart,
20 येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा, सधैँ सबै कुराहरूको निम्ति पिता परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाओ ।
always giving thanks for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father,
21 ख्रीष्टको आदरको लागि एकअर्काको अधिनमा रहो ।
submitting yourselves to one another in reverence for Christ.
22 पत्नीहरू हो, प्रभुको अधीनमा रहे जस्तो आफ्ना पतिहरूको अधीनमा बस ।
Wives, submit to your 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 the head of the wife as Christ also is the head of the church, and Christ himself is its savior.
24 तर जसरी मण्डली ख्रीष्टप्रति समर्पित छ, त्यसरी नै पत्नीहरूलेपनि आफ्ना पतिहरूप्रति सबैथोकमा त्यसै गर्नुपर्दछ ।
But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives must submit to their 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, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
26 उहाँले तिनलाई पवित्र गर्न यसो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई वचनमा पानीले धोएर शुद्ध पार्नुभयो ।
Christ gave himself for the church so that he might make her holy, having cleansed her by the washing 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 ।
so that he might present her to himself as glorious, without stain or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and without fault.
28 यस्तै प्रकारले पतिहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई आफ्ना शरीरलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो पत्नीलाई प्रेम गर्नेले आफैँलाई प्रेम गर्छ ।
In the same way husbands ought 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 one ever hated his own body, but nourishes and treats it with care, just as Christ nourishes and treats the church with care,
30 किनकि हामी उहाँका शरीरका सदस्यहरू हौँ ।
because we are members of his body.
31 “यसैकारणले गर्दा एकजना मानिसले उसको बुबा र आमालाई छोड्नेछ र उसको पत्नीसँग मिल्नेछ, र ती दुई एउटै शरीर हुनेछन् ।”
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
32 यो एउटा महान् गुप्त सत्यता हो, तर मैले ख्रीष्ट र उहाँको मण्डलीको बारेमा बताइरहेको छु ।
This hidden truth is great—but I am speaking about Christ and the church.
33 तथापि, तिमीहरू प्रत्येकले आफ्ना पत्नीलाई आफूलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ, र पत्नीले पतिलाई सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ ।
Nevertheless, each of you also must love his own wife as himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
