Jo-Efeso 1
1 An Paulo, jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye, andikonu un jomaler man Efeso, jogo maluwo Yesu gi chunygi duto.
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:
2 Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo obed kodu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Pak obed ni Nyasaye ma wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, mosegwedhowa kod gweth duto mag chuny koa e polo kuom Kristo.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:
4 Kane pok ochwe piny, noyierowa kuom Kristo mondo wabed maler kendo maonge songa e nyime.
Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:
5 Kuom herane, nowalowa chon mondo wabed yawuote kuom Yesu Kristo nikech mano ema ne chenrone kod dwarone.
As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,
6 Notimo kamano mondo ngʼwonone man-gi duongʼ mane ochiwo nono oyud pak, ma osemiyowa nono kuom Wuode mohero.
To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:
7 Ne owarowa kuom rembe koweyonwa richowa koluwore gi ngʼwonone mathoth.
In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,
8 Mano kaka mich ma Nyasaye oseolo kuomwa kuom ngʼwonone ogundho.
Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;
9 Kuom riekone kod ngʼeyone, oseelonwa dwarone mopondo, mana kaka nochano chon ni notimrenwa kuom Kristo,
Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands
10 ka kindeno nochopi nochano mondo oket gik moko duto manie polo gi piny e bwo loch achiel, ma en Kristo.
The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,
11 Kuome bende ema noyierowae mondo wabed jocham girkeni; kaluwore gi chenrone motimogo gik moko duto moluwore gi dwarone,
In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;
12 mondo mi wan mane wakwongo geno kuom Kristo, wadag ngima mamiyo ipako duongʼne maler.
So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:
13 To un bende nokwanu kaka joma oyie kane uwinjo wach mar adier ma en Injili mar warruok. Kane useyie kuome noketonu kido mar Roho Maler mane osingi,
In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,
14 Rohono en singo manyiso ni wanayud girkeni nyaka chopi kinde mar warruok mar jo-Nyasaye, mondo duongʼne oyud pak.
Which is the first-fruit of our heritage, till God gets back that which is his, to the praise of his glory.
15 Mano emomiyo, nyaka ne awinj wach yie ma un-go kuom Ruoth Yesu kendo kuom hera ma uherogo joma oyie duto,
For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,
16 pok aweyo goyo erokamano ni Nyasaye nikech un, ka aparou e lemona.
Give praise without end for you, keeping you in mind in my prayers;
17 Asiko kakwayo mondo Nyasach Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, Wuon duongʼ duto omiu Roho Maler mamiyou rieko kendo mafwenyonu tiend gik mopondo mondo ungʼeye maber.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 Bende alamonu mondo chunyu maiye oyawre mondo ungʼe tiend geno ma oseluongoue, ma gin girkeni mogundho mokano ni joma oyie,
And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,
19 kod tekone maduongʼ mokalo apima mosemiyowa wan joma oyie. Tekoneno nyiso tich mar tekre maduongʼ,
And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power,
20 ma nonyiso kuom Kristo kane ochiere oa kuom joma otho, mi omiyo obedo e bade ma korachwich e polo,
By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,
21 kuma oyombo loch duto gi teko gi telo gi nyalo kod nyinge duto minyalo chiw ok e ndaloni kende to kata e ndalo mabiro. (aiōn g165)
Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 To Nyasaye noketo gik moko duto e bwo tiende, kendo nomiyo obedo wi kanisa;
And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church,
23 ma en ringre Kristo. En e Jal mapongʼo kendo romo gik moko duto.
Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.
