Efežanom 1
| 1:1 | Paul, apostol Jezusa Kristusa po božji volji, vsem svetnikom, ki so v Efezu, in vernim v Kristusu Jezusu. |
| 1:2 | Milost in mir vam od Boga Očeta, in od Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa. |
| 1:3 | Hvaljen Bog in Oče našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, ki nas je blagoslovil z vsemi duhovnimi blagoslovi v nebesih, v Kristusu, |
| 1:4 | kakor nas je izvolil v njem pred ustanovitvijo sveta, da bi bili sveti in brezmadežni v njegovih očeh, v dobrodelnosti. |
| 1:5 | On nas je vnaprej določil za posvojitev kot sinove, skozi Jezusa Kristusa, v sebi, glede na namen svoje oporoke, |
| 1:6 | za hvalo slave njegove milosti, s katerim nas je obdaril v svojem ljubljenem Sinu. |
| 1:7 | V njem, imamo odrešitev po njegovi krvi: odpuščanje grehov v skladu z bogastvom njegove milosti, |
| 1:8 | ki ga je pri nas v izobilju, z vso modrostjo in preudarnostjo. |
| 1:9 | Tako nam razkriva skrivnost svoje oporoke, ki jih je postavil v Kristusu, na njemu všečen način, |
| 1:10 | v razporeditvi polnosti časa, da bi v Kristusu prenovili vse, kar po njem obstaja v nebesih in na zemlji. |
| 1:11 | V njem, tudi mi smo poklicani k svojemu deležu, ki je bil vnaprej določen v skladu z načrtom tistega, ki vse doseže po nasvetu svoje volje. |
| 1:12 | Naj bova tudi midva, v hvalo njegove slave, mi, ki smo že vnaprej upali v Kristusa. |
| 1:13 | V njem, ti tudi, potem ko ste slišali in verjeli Besedi resnice, ki je evangelij tvojega odrešenja, so bili zapečateni s Svetim Duhom obljube. |
| 1:14 | On je zastava naše dediščine, do pridobitve odkupa, v hvalo njegove slave. |
| 1:15 | Zaradi tega, in slišati o vaši veri, ki je v Gospoda Jezusa, in tvoje ljubezni do vseh svetnikov, |
| 1:16 | Nisem se nehal zahvaljevati zate, kličem vas v mislih v svojih molitvah, |
| 1:17 | tako da Bog našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, Oče slave, vam lahko da duha modrosti in razodetja, v poznavanju njega. |
| 1:18 | Naj bodo oči tvojega srca razsvetljene, da boste vedeli, kaj je upanje njegovega poklica, in bogastvo slave njegove dediščine pri svetih, |
| 1:19 | in izjemno veličino njegove kreposti do nas, proti nam, ki verujemo v skladu z delom njegove močne kreposti, |
| 1:20 | ki jih je izvršil v Kristusu, ga obudil od mrtvih in ga postavil na svojo desnico v nebesih, |
| 1:21 | nad vsako kneževino in moč in krepost in gospostvo, in nad vsakim danim imenom, ne samo v tej starosti, ampak tudi v bodoči dobi. |
| 1:22 | In vse mu je podredil pod noge, in postavil ga je za glavo vse Cerkve, |
| 1:23 | ki je njegovo telo in ki je polnost njega, ki dosega vse v vsakem. |
Efežanom 2
| 2:1 | In nekoč si bil mrtev v svojih grehih in prestopkih, |
| 2:2 | v katerem si hodil v preteklih časih, glede na starost tega sveta, po princu moči tega neba, duh, ki zdaj deluje v sinovih nezaupanja. |
| 2:3 | In tudi mi smo bili vsi seznanjeni s temi stvarmi, v preteklih časih, po željah našega mesa, ravnanje po volji mesa in po lastnih mislih. In tako smo bili, po naravi, sinovi jeze, tudi kot ostali. |
| 2:4 | Pa še vedno, Bog, ki je bogat z usmiljenjem, zaradi njegove izjemno velike dobrote, s katero nas je ljubil, |
| 2:5 | tudi ko smo bili mrtvi v svojih grehih, nas je skupaj oživil v Kristusu, po čigar milosti ste bili rešeni. |
| 2:6 | In skupaj naju je vzgojil, in dal nam je, da smo skupaj sedeli v nebesih, v Kristusu Jezusu, |
| 2:7 | tako da lahko prikaže, v starosti, ki bodo kmalu prišle, obilno bogastvo njegove milosti, po svoji dobroti do nas v Kristusu Jezusu. |
| 2:8 | Za po milosti, po veri ste bili odrešeni. In to ni od vas, saj je božji dar. |
| 2:9 | In to ni delo, da se ne bi nihče hvalil. |
| 2:10 | Kajti mi smo njegovo delo, ustvarjeni v Kristusu Jezusu za dobra dela, ki jih je Bog pripravil in v katerih naj hodimo. |
| 2:11 | Zaradi tega, bodite pozorni na to, v preteklih časih, bili ste pogani v mesu, in da so vas tisti, ki se imenujejo obrezani, imenovali za neobrezane, nekaj, kar je naredil človek, |
| 2:12 | in da si bil, v tem času, brez Kristusa, biti tuj izraelskemu načinu življenja, obiskovalci testamenta, brez upanja na obljubo, in biti brez Boga na tem svetu. |
| 2:13 | Ampak zdaj, v Kristusu Jezusu, ti, ki so bili nekoč daleč stran, bili približani s Kristusovo krvjo. |
| 2:14 | Kajti on je naš mir. Iz dveh je naredil eno, z raztapljanjem vmesne ločilne stene, nasprotovanja, po njegovem mesu, |
| 2:15 | izpraznitev zakona zapovedi z odlokom, da bi se lahko pridružil tema dvema, v sebi, v enega novega človeka, sklepanje miru |
| 2:16 | in spravo obojega z Bogom, v enem telesu, skozi križ, uničenje tega nasprotja v sebi. |
| 2:17 | In ob prihodu, vam, ki ste bili daleč, je oznanjal mir, in mir tistim, ki so bili blizu. |
| 2:18 | Zanj, oba imava dostop, v enem samem Duhu, k Očetu. |
| 2:19 | zdaj, torej, niste več obiskovalci in novinci. Namesto tega, vi ste državljani med svetimi v hiši božji, |
| 2:20 | ki je bila zgrajena na temelju apostolov in prerokov, s samim Jezusom Kristusom kot glavnim vogelnim kamnom. |
| 2:21 | V njem, vse, kar je bilo zgrajeno, je uokvirjeno skupaj, dvigniti se v sveti tempelj v Gospodu. |
| 2:22 | V njem, tudi vi ste bili sezidani v Božje prebivališče v Duhu. |
Efežanom 3
| 3:1 | Zaradi te milosti, jaz, Paul, sem ujetnik Jezusa Kristusa, zavoljo vas poganov. |
| 3:2 | Zdaj zagotovo, slišali ste za razdelitev božje milosti, ki mi je bilo dano med vami: |
| 3:3 | to, s pomočjo razodetja, skrivnost mi je bila razkrita, tako kot sem zgoraj v nekaj besedah napisal. |
| 3:4 | še, z branjem tega natančno, morda bi lahko razumel mojo previdnost v Kristusovi skrivnosti. |
| 3:5 | V drugih generacijah, to ni bilo znano človeškim sinovom, tako kot je bilo sedaj razodeto njegovim svetim apostolom in prerokom v Duhu, |
| 3:6 | tako da bi bili pogani sodediči, in istega telesa, in partnerji skupaj, po svoji obljubi v Kristusu Jezusu, skozi evangelij. |
| 3:7 | Tega evangelija, Postal sem minister, po daru božje milosti, ki mi je bilo dano z delovanjem njegove vrline. |
| 3:8 | Čeprav sem najmanjši od vseh svetnikov, Bila mi je dana ta milost: oznanjati med pogani nedosledno Kristusovo bogastvo, |
| 3:9 | in razsvetliti vsakogar glede razdelitve skrivnosti, skrito pred veki v Bogu, ki je ustvaril vse stvari, |
| 3:10 | da bi raznovrstna Božja modrost postala znana poglavarstvom in oblastem v nebesih, skozi Cerkev, |
| 3:11 | v skladu s tem brezčasnim namenom, ki ga je oblikoval v Kristusu Jezusu, našem Gospodu. |
| 3:12 | Vanj zaupamo, in zato pristopamo z zaupanjem, skozi svojo vero. |
| 3:13 | Zaradi tega, Prosim te, naj te moje stiske ne oslabijo v tvojem imenu; kajti to je tvoja slava. |
| 3:14 | Zaradi te milosti, Pripogibam kolena k Očetu našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, |
| 3:15 | po katerem je dobilo ime vse očetovstvo v nebesih in na zemlji. |
| 3:16 | In prosim ga, naj vam da, da vas njegov Duh okrepi v kreposti, v skladu z bogastvom njegove slave, v notranjem človeku, |
| 3:17 | da bi Kristus živel v vaših srcih po veri, ki je zakoreninjena v, in temelji na, dobrodelnost. |
| 3:18 | Naj se torej lahko objemata, z vsemi svetniki, kakšna je širina in dolžina ter višina in globina |
| 3:19 | Kristusove ljubezni, in celo biti sposoben vedeti tisto, kar presega vsako znanje, tako da boste napolnjeni z vso polnostjo Boga. |
| 3:20 | Zdaj pa k njemu, ki vse zmore, bolj obilno, kot bi lahko kdajkoli vprašali ali razumeli, s pomočjo kreposti, ki deluje v nas: |
| 3:21 | njemu bodi slava, v Cerkvi in v Kristusu Jezusu, skozi vsako generacijo, za vekomaj. Amen. |
Efežanom 4
| 4:1 | In tako, kot jetnik v Gospodu, Rotim vas, da hodite v skladu s poklicanostjo, v katero ste bili poklicani: |
| 4:2 | z vso ponižnostjo in krotkostjo, s potrpežljivostjo, podpirajo drug drugega v dobrodelnosti. |
| 4:3 | Skrbite za ohranitev enosti Duha v vezi miru. |
| 4:4 | Eno telo in en duh: k temu vas je poklicalo edino upanje vašega klica: |
| 4:5 | en Gospod, ena vera, en krst, |
| 4:6 | en Bog in Oče vseh, ki je nad vsem, in skozi vse, in v nas vseh. |
| 4:7 | Toda vsakemu od nas je bila dana milost po meri, ki jo je določil Kristus. |
| 4:8 | Zaradi tega, on reče: »Vzpon na višino, vzel je ujetništvo samega ujetnika; ljudem je dajal darila.« |
| 4:9 | Zdaj, ko se je povzpel, kar je še ostalo razen njemu, da se tudi spusti, najprej v nižje dele zemlje? |
| 4:10 | Ta, ki se je spustil, je isti, ki se je tudi povzpel nad vsa nebesa, da bi lahko izpolnil vse. |
| 4:11 | In ta isti je dovolil, da bodo nekateri apostoli, in nekateri preroki, pa res drugi evangelisti, in drugi župniki in učitelji, |
| 4:12 | zavoljo popolnosti svetnikov, z delom ministrstva, pri graditvi Kristusovega telesa, |
| 4:13 | dokler se vsi ne srečamo v edinosti vere in v spoznanju Božjega Sina, kot popoln moški, v meri Kristusove starosti polnosti. |
| 4:14 | Naj torej ne bomo več majhni otroci, moti in nosi vsak veter doktrine, po hudobiji ljudi, in z zvijačnostjo, ki zapelje v zmoto. |
| 4:15 | Namesto tega, ravnanje v skladu z resnico v ljubezni, povečati bi se morali v vsem, v njem, ki je glava, Kristus sam. |
| 4:16 | Za v njem, celotno telo je tesno povezano, z vsakim spodnjim sklepom, prek funkcije, ki je dodeljena vsakemu delu, prinašajo izboljšave telesu, proti njegovi vzgoji v dobrodelnosti. |
| 4:17 | In tako, Jaz pravim to, in pričujem v Gospodu: da bi moral odslej hoditi, ne tako, kot hodijo pogani, v nečimrnosti njihovega uma, |
| 4:18 | imajo zatemnjen intelekt, odtujenost od božjega življenja, zaradi nevednosti, ki je v njih, zaradi slepote njihovih src. |
| 4:19 | Takšne kot te, obupana, so se predali spolni nemorali, s pohlepom opravlja vsako nečistost. |
| 4:20 | Toda to ni tisto, česar ste se naučili v Kristusu. |
| 4:21 | Za zagotovo, ste ga poslušali, in vi ste bili poučeni o njem, po resnici, ki je v Jezusu: |
| 4:22 | da opustite svoje prejšnje vedenje, nekdanji človek, ki je bil pokvarjen, s pomočjo želje, do napake, |
| 4:23 | in tako bodite prenovljeni v duhu svojega uma, |
| 4:24 | in tako oblecite novega človeka, WHO, v skladu z Bogom, je ustvarjen v pravičnosti in v svetosti resnice. |
| 4:25 | Zaradi tega, odlaganje laganja, govoriti resnico, vsak s svojim sosedom. Kajti vsi smo del drug drugega. |
| 4:26 | »Bodi jezen, vendar ne bodi pripravljen grešiti.« Ne pustite, da sonce zaide nad vašo jezo. |
| 4:27 | Ne zagotovi mesta za hudiča. |
| 4:28 | Kdor koli je kradel, naj zdaj ne krade, pa naj raje dela, working with his hands, doing what is good, so that he may have something to distribute to those who suffer need. |
| 4:29 | Let no evil words proceed from your mouth, but only what is good, toward the edification of faith, so as to bestow grace upon those who listen. |
| 4:30 | And do not be willing to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed, unto the day of redemption. |
| 4:31 | Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice. |
| 4:32 | And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ. |
Efežanom 5
| 5:1 | Zato, as most beloved sons, be imitators of God. |
| 5:2 | And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and delivered himself for us, as an oblation and a sacrifice to God, with a fragrance of sweetness. |
| 5:3 | But let not any kind of fornication, or impurity, or rapacity so much as be named among you, just as is worthy of the saints, |
| 5:4 | nor any indecent, or foolish, or abusive talk, for this is without purpose; ampak namesto, give thanks. |
| 5:5 | For know and understand this: no one who is a fornicator, or lustful, or rapacious (for these are a kind of service to idols) holds an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. |
| 5:6 | Let no one seduce you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God was sent upon the sons of unbelief. |
| 5:7 | Zato, do not choose to become participants with them. |
| 5:8 | For you were darkness, v preteklih časih, but now you are light, v Gospodu. Torej, walk as sons of the light. |
| 5:9 | For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth, |
| 5:10 | affirming what is well-pleasing to God. |
| 5:11 | In tako, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, ampak namesto, refute them. |
| 5:12 | For the things that are done by them in secret are shameful, even to mention. |
| 5:13 | But all things that are disputed are made manifest by the light. For all that is made manifest is light. |
| 5:14 | Zaradi tega, it is said: “You who are sleeping: awaken, and rise up from the dead, and so shall the Christ enlighten you.” |
| 5:15 | In tako, bratje, see to it that you walk cautiously, not like the foolish, |
| 5:16 | but like the wise: atoning for this age, because this is an evil time. |
| 5:17 | Zaradi tega razloga, do not choose to be imprudent. Namesto tega, understand what is the will of God. |
| 5:18 | And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Namesto tega, be filled with the Holy Spirit, |
| 5:19 | speaking among yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and reciting psalms to the Lord in your hearts, |
| 5:20 | giving thanks always for everything, v imenu našega Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa, to God the Father. |
| 5:21 | Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. |
| 5:22 | Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord. |
| 5:23 | For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body. |
| 5:24 | Zato, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things. |
| 5:25 | Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the Church and handed himself over for her, |
| 5:26 | so that he might sanctify her, washing her clean by water and the Word of life, |
| 5:27 | so that he might offer her to himself as a glorious Church, not having any spot or wrinkle or any such thing, so that she would be holy and immaculate. |
| 5:28 | torej, preveč, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. |
| 5:29 | For no man has ever hated his own flesh, but instead he nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ also does to the Church. |
| 5:30 | For we are a part of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. |
| 5:31 | “For this reason, človek zapusti očeta in mater, in oklenil se bo svoje žene; and the two shall be as one flesh.” |
| 5:32 | This is a great Sacrament. And I am speaking in Christ and in the Church. |
| 5:33 | Pa vendar resnično, each and every one of you should love his wife as himself. And a wife should fear her husband. |
Efežanom 6
| 6:1 | Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. |
| 6:2 | Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise: |
| 6:3 | so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth. |
| 6:4 | In ti, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord. |
| 6:5 | Služabniki, be obedient to your lords according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to Christ. |
| 6:6 | Do not serve only when seen, as if to please men, but act as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart. |
| 6:7 | Serve with good will, as to the Lord, and not to men. |
| 6:8 | For you know that whatever good each one will do, the same will he receive from the Lord, whether he is servant or free. |
| 6:9 | In ti, lords, act similarly toward them, setting aside threats, knowing that the Lord of both you and them is in heaven. For with him there is no favoritism toward anyone. |
| 6:10 | Glede ostalega, bratje, be strengthened in the Lord, by the power of his virtue. |
| 6:11 | Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil. |
| 6:12 | For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the directors of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high places. |
| 6:13 | Zaradi tega, take up the armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand the evil day and remain perfect in all things. |
| 6:14 | Zato, trdno stati, having been girded about your waist with truth, and having been clothed with the breastplate of justice, |
| 6:15 | and having feet which have been shod by the preparation of the Gospel of peace. |
| 6:16 | V vseh stvareh, take up the shield of faith, with which you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. |
| 6:17 | And take up the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the Word of God). |
| 6:18 | Through every kind of prayer and supplication, pray at all times in spirit, and so be vigilant with every kind of earnest supplication, for all the saints, |
| 6:19 | and also for me, so that words may be given to me, as I open my mouth with faith to make known the mystery of the Gospel, |
| 6:20 | in such a manner that I may dare to speak exactly as I ought to speak. For I act as an ambassador in chains for the Gospel. |
| 6:21 | zdaj, so that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, a most beloved brother and a faithful minister in the Lord, will make known everything to you. |
| 6:22 | I have sent him to you for this very reason, so that you may know the things that concern us, and so that he may console your hearts. |
| 6:23 | Peace to the brothers, and charity with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 6:24 | May grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ, unto incorruption. Amen. |
