< Ephisa 1 >
1 Pathen kah kongaih neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul loh Ephisa kah aka om hlang cim rhoek neh Jesuh Khrih ah uepom kan yaak sak.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Boeipa Jesuh Khrih neh a pa Pathen taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Pathen neh mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa tah uemom la om pai saeh. Amah loh Khrih ah vaan kah mueihla yoethennah cungkuem neh mamih n'uem coeng.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
4 Mamih he Lungnah neh amah hmuh ah cimcaih tih cuemthuek la om ham Diklai a tong hlanah amah dongah mamih n'tuek pataeng coeng.
According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Amah kah kongaih, kolonah vanbangla amah ham Jesuh Khrih lamloh cacah la mamih n'nuen coeng.
Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 A lungvatnah dongkah thangpomnah he koehnah la om pai. Te nen ni lungnah dongah mamih n'lungvat.
To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved:
7 A thii lamloh amah dongah tlannah n'dang uh. A lungvatnah dongkah khuehtawn vanbangla tholhdalhnah dongkah khodawkngainah te khaw n'danguh.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Tekah te mamih ah cueihnah cungkuem, lungcueinah neh a baetawt sak.
In which he hath abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 A kongaih kah olhuep te mamih taengah phoe coeng.
Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 A kolonah bangla amah khuiah a hmoel te a tuetang a soepnah dongah hnokhoemnah la om coeng. A cungkuem he vaan kah neh diklai kah khaw, Khrih amah dongah cuii sak ham om.
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
11 A kongaih kah mangtaengnah bangla boeih pongthoo tih, a mangtaengnah vanbangla a nuen rhoek long tah amah dongkah te m'pang uh van coeng.
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 Te dongah amah kah thangpomnah Khrih ah koehnah la mamih n'om ham n'ngaiuep.
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 Nangmih khaw amah dongah ni namamih kah khangnah olthangthen oltak olka te na yaak uh. Amah aka tangnah tah olkhueh dongkah Mueihla Cim neh kutnoek n'daeng thil coeng.
In whom ye also [trusted], after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Te tah dangnah dongah tlannah duela a thangpomnah dongkah koehnah te mamih kah rho cungah la om.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh dongah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah te nangmih taeng lamloh ka yaak.
Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints,
16 Te dongah nangmih ham toeng kolla aka uem loh ka thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka khueh.
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 Te daengah ni mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah Pathen, thangpomnah a pa loh amah mingnah dongah pumphoenah neh cueihnah mueihla te nangmih m'paek eh.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 Amah kah khuenah dongah ngaiuepnah aka om te na ming hamla nangmih thinko mik tueng uh. Amah rho dongkah thangpomnah khuehtawn te tah hlangcim rhoek soah om.
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 A thaomnah, a lennah aka baekhawk te tah a thadueng kah thaomnah bibi bangla aka tangnah mamih taengah om.
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Te tah duek lamkah aka thoo Khrih amah khuiah a tueng sak. Te dongah vaan ah khaw a bantang ah ngol coeng.
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 Boeilu neh saithainah khaw, thaomnah neh taemrhainah khaw, ming khue boeih te ta kumhal bueng kah pawt tih hmailong kah khaw boeih a poe. (aiōn )
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn )
22 A cungkuem la a kho hmuiah boe a ngai sak tih amah te hlangboel taengah cungkuem soah a lu la a khueh.
And put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
23 Te tah amah pum la om tih cungkuem kah a soepnah tah cungkuem taengah soep.
Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
