Ephesians 5
1 Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children,
त्यसकारण परमेश्वरका प्रिय छोरा-छोरीहरू झैँ उहाँको अनुकरण गर्ने होओ ।
2 and walk in love, even as the Christ loved us, and delivered himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.
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 ।
3 But fornication and all uncleanness or unbridled lust, let it not be even named among you, as it becomes saints;
जस्तो विश्वासीहरूका लागि उपयुक्त हुन्छ, तिमीहरूको बिचमा कामुक अनैतिकता वा कुनै अशुद्धता वा कामवासनाको लालसाको बारेमा चर्चा नहोस् ।
4 and filthiness and foolish talking, or jesting, which are not convenient; but rather thanksgiving.
नकि अश्लिलता, मूर्ख बोली वा अपमानजनक ठट्यौलीहरू होस् जुनचाहिँ अनुचित छन् । बरु धन्यवाद दिने काम होस् ।
5 For this ye are [well] informed of, knowing that no fornicator, or unclean person, or person of unbridled lust, who is an idolater, has inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God.
तिमीहरूले यो निश्चय गर, कि कुनै कामुक रूपमा अनैतिक, अशुद्ध, वा लालसित व्यक्तिले ख्रीष्ट र परमेश्वरको राज्यमा कुनै उत्तराधिकार पाउँदैन, किनकि त्यो मूर्तिपूजक हो ।
6 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for on account of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
तिमीहरूलाई कसैले पनि फोस्रा कुराहरूले धोखा नदिओस् । यी कुराहरूको कारण अनाज्ञाकारिताका पुत्रहरूमा परमेश्वरको क्रोध आउनेछ ।
7 Be not ye therefore fellow-partakers with them;
यसैले गर्दा तिनीहरूसँग सहभागी नहोओ ।
8 for ye were once darkness, but now light in [the] Lord; walk as children of light,
किनकि तिमीहरू एकचोटी अन्धकार थियौ, तर अब तिमीहरू परमप्रभुमा ज्योति भएका छौ । यसैले ज्योतिका सन्तान जस्तै गरी हिँड ।
9 (for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth, )
किनकि ज्योतिको फल सबै भलाइ, धार्मिकता र सत्यतामा हुन्छ ।
10 proving what is agreeable to the Lord;
परमप्रभुलाई खुशी तुल्याउने कुराहरू पत्ता लगाऊ ।
11 and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather also reprove [them],
अन्धकारका फलहिन कार्यहरूमा सहभागी नहोओ । बरु, तिनीहरूलाई प्रकट गर ।
12 for the things that are done by them in secret it is shameful even to say.
किनकि तिनीहरूद्वारा गोप्यमा गरिएका कार्यहरू वर्णन गर्न पनि लाजमर्दो छ ।
13 But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
सबै थोक जब ज्योतिमा आउँछन्, तब ती प्रकट हुन्छन्,
14 Wherefore he says, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and arise up from among the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.
किनकि प्रकट भएका सबै कुरा ज्योतिमा प्रकाशमान हुन्छन् । त्यसकारण यस्तो भनिएको छ कि, “सुताहा हो जाग, र मरेकाहरूबाट उठ, र ख्रीष्ट तिमीमा चम्कनुहुनेछ ।”
15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
त्यसकारण तिमी कसरी हिँड्छौ भन्ने कुरामा होसियार होओ, मूर्ख जस्तो होइन तर बुद्धिमानजस्तो ।
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
समयलाई बचाओ, किनकि दिनहरू खराब छन् ।
17 For this reason be not foolish, but understanding what [is] the will of the Lord.
मूर्ख नबन । बरु, प्रभुको इच्छा के हो, सो बुझ ।
18 And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit,
र दाखमद्यले नमात्तीओ, किनकि त्यसले विनाशतर्फ डोर्याउँछ । तर त्यसको सट्टामा, पवित्र आत्माले भरिओ ।
19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and chanting with your heart to the Lord;
एक-अर्कामा भजनहरूमा र आत्मिक गीतहरूमा बोल । परमप्रभुको निम्ति तिमीहरूका हृदयमा गीतहरू गाउँदै प्रशंसा गर ।
20 giving thanks at all times for all things to him [who is] God and [the] Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
येशू ख्रीष्टको नाउँमा, सधैँ सबै कुराहरूको निम्ति पिता परमेश्वरलाई धन्यवाद चढाओ ।
21 submitting yourselves to one another in [the] fear of Christ.
ख्रीष्टको आदरको लागि एकअर्काको अधिनमा रहो ।
22 Wives, [submit yourselves] to your own husbands, as to the Lord,
पत्नीहरू हो, प्रभुको अधीनमा रहे जस्तो आफ्ना पतिहरूको अधीनमा बस ।
23 for a husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ [is] head of the assembly. He [is] Saviour of the body.
किनकि पति पत्नीको शिर हो, जसरी ख्रीष्ट पनि मण्डलीको शिर हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँ शरीरको उद्धारकर्ता हुनुहुन्छ ।
24 But even as the assembly is subjected to the Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything.
तर जसरी मण्डली ख्रीष्टप्रति समर्पित छ, त्यसरी नै पत्नीहरूलेपनि आफ्ना पतिहरूप्रति सबैथोकमा त्यसै गर्नुपर्दछ ।
25 Husbands, love your own wives, even as the Christ also loved the assembly, and has delivered himself up for it,
पतिहरू हो, जसरी ख्रीष्टले मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभयो र आफैँलाई तिनको निम्ति समर्पित गर्नुभयो, त्यसरी नै आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई प्रेम गर ।
26 in order that he might sanctify it, purifying [it] by the washing of water by [the] word,
उहाँले तिनलाई पवित्र गर्न यसो गर्नुभयो । उहाँले तिनलाई वचनमा पानीले धोएर शुद्ध पार्नुभयो ।
27 that he might present the assembly to himself glorious, having no spot, or wrinkle, or any of such things; but that it might be holy and blameless.
दागरहित वा चाउरी नभएको वा अन्य यस्ता कुनै थोक नभएको, तर पवित्र र दोषरहित, महिमित मण्डली आफ्नै निम्ति प्रस्तुत गर्नको निम्ति उहाँले यस्तो गर्नुभयो ।
28 So ought men also to love their own wives as their own bodies: he that loves his own wife loves himself.
यस्तै प्रकारले पतिहरूले तिनीहरूका आफ्ना पत्नीहरूलाई आफ्ना शरीरलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ । आफ्नो पत्नीलाई प्रेम गर्नेले आफैँलाई प्रेम गर्छ ।
29 For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as also the Christ the assembly:
कहिल्यै पनि कसैले आफ्नो शरीरलाई घृणा गरेको छैन । बरु, उसले यसलाई पालन-पोषण गरेर प्रेम गर्दछ, जसरी ख्रीष्टले पनि मण्डलीलाई प्रेम गर्नुहुन्छ ।
30 for we are members of his body; [we are of his flesh, and of his bones.]
किनकि हामी उहाँका शरीरका सदस्यहरू हौँ ।
31 Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh.
“यसैकारणले गर्दा एकजना मानिसले उसको बुबा र आमालाई छोड्नेछ र उसको पत्नीसँग मिल्नेछ, र ती दुई एउटै शरीर हुनेछन् ।”
32 This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.
यो एउटा महान् गुप्त सत्यता हो, तर मैले ख्रीष्ट र उहाँको मण्डलीको बारेमा बताइरहेको छु ।
33 But ye also, every one of you, let each so love his own wife as himself; but as to the wife [I speak] that she may fear the husband.
तथापि, तिमीहरू प्रत्येकले आफ्ना पत्नीलाई आफूलाई जस्तै प्रेम गर्नुपर्छ, र पत्नीले पतिलाई सम्मान गर्नुपर्छ ।
