Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
तिमीहरू त आफ्ना अपराधहरू र पापहरूमा मरेका थियौ ।
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
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)
3 We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
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 ।
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
तर परमेश्वरले आफ्नो महान् प्रेमले हामीलाई प्रेम गर्नुभएको कारण उहाँ दयामा धनी हुनुहुन्छ ।
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
जब हामी आफ्ना अपराधहरूमा मरेका थियौँ, उहाँले हामी सबैलाई सँगै ख्रीष्टमा नयाँ जीवनमा ल्याउनुभयो । उहाँको अनुग्रहद्वारा तिमीहरू बचाइएका छौ ।
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
ख्रीष्ट येशूमा हामीलाई परमेश्वरले उठाउनुभएको छ र स्वर्गीय स्थानहरूमा उहाँसँगै बसाल्नुभएको छ ।
7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
आउँदा दिनहरूमा उहाँको अनुग्रहको प्रशस्तता हामीलाई प्रकट गराउने हेतुले उहाँले यसो गर्नुभयो । ख्रीष्ट येशूमा उहाँको दयाद्वारा उहाँले यो देखाउनुहुन्छ । (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
किनकि तिमीहरू अनुग्रहबाट विश्वासद्वारा बचाइएका छौ, र यो तिमीहरूबाट आएको होइन तर यो परमेश्वरको उपहार हो ।
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
कामहरूबाट यो होइन, यसैकारण कसैले घमण्ड गर्न सक्दैन ।
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
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 ।
11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
त्यसकारण यो कुरा सम्झ, कि एक समय तिमीहरू शरीरमा गैरयहूदीहरू थियौ । मानिसहरूका हातहरूबाट शरीरमा खतना भएकाहरूले तिमीहरूलाई “बेखातनाको” भनेर बोलाउँथे ।
12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
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 ।
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
तिमीहरू एक समय परमेश्वरबाट टाढा भएकाहरू, अब येशू ख्रीष्टको रगतद्वारा ख्रीष्ट येशूमा परमेश्वरसँग नजिक ल्याइएका छौ ।
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
किनकि उहाँ हाम्रो शान्ति हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुईलाई एक बनाउनुभयो । हामीलाई एक अर्कामा विभाजन गर्ने शत्रुताका पर्खालहरू उहाँको शरीरद्वारा भत्काइएका छन् ।
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
अर्थात्, उहाँमा नै एउटा नयाँ मानिस सृष्टि गर्न, उहाँले नियमहरू र आज्ञाहरूका कानुनलाई खारेज गरिदिनुभयो । उहाँले मिलाप गराउनुभयो ।
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
उहाँको क्रूसद्वारा दुई मानिसलाई परमेश्वरमा शरीरमा एक बनाउनको निम्ति उहाँले यो गर्नुभयो । क्रुससँगै उहाँले शत्रुतालाई नाश गर्नुभयो ।
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
येशू आउनुभयो र धेरै टाढा र नजिक भएकाहरूलाई उहाँले शान्तिको घोषणा गर्नुभयो ।
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
किनकि येशूद्वारा हामी दुवै एउटै आत्मामा पिताकहाँ जान सक्छौँ ।
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
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 ।
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
तिमीहरू प्रेरित र अगमवक्ताहरूको जग माथि बसालेर निर्माण गरिएका हौ । ख्रीष्ट येशू आफैँ कुने-ढुङ्गो हुनुहुन्छ ।
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
येशू ख्रीष्टमा उहाँको सारा निर्माण मिल्दै जान्छ र प्रभुमा एउटै मन्दिरको रूपमा बढ्दै जान्छ ।
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
अनि उहाँमा नै तिमीहरू पनि पवित्र आत्मामा परमेश्वरको वासस्थानको रूपमा सँगै निर्माण भइरहेका छौ ।
