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 Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and to the faithful 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.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ.
4 Kane pok ochwe piny, noyierowa kuom Kristo mondo wabed maler kendo maonge songa e nyime.
Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and without blemish in his sight.
5 Kuom herane, nowalowa chon mondo wabed yawuote kuom Yesu Kristo nikech mano ema ne chenrone kod dwarone.
For in his love he predestined us (such was the good pleasure of his will) to adoption for himself as sons through Jesus Christ,
6 Notimo kamano mondo ngʼwonone man-gi duongʼ mane ochiwo nono oyud pak, ma osemiyowa nono kuom Wuode mohero.
and to the praise of his glorious grace which he graciously bestowed upon us in the Beloved.
7 Ne owarowa kuom rembe koweyonwa richowa koluwore gi ngʼwonone mathoth.
It is in him we have deliverance, the forgiveness of our trespasses, through his blood;
8 Mano kaka mich ma Nyasaye oseolo kuomwa kuom ngʼwonone ogundho.
so abundantly did he lavish upon us the riches of his grace in all wisdom and understanding,
9 Kuom riekone kod ngʼeyone, oseelonwa dwarone mopondo, mana kaka nochano chon ni notimrenwa kuom Kristo,
when he made known to us, I say, that good pleasure which he purposed in himself
10 ka kindeno nochopi nochano mondo oket gik moko duto manie polo gi piny e bwo loch achiel, ma en Kristo.
for the government of the fulness of the ages, that all things in heaven and earth are alike should be gathered up in Christ, as Head.
11 Kuome bende ema noyierowae mondo wabed jocham girkeni; kaluwore gi chenrone motimogo gik moko duto moluwore gi dwarone,
It is he in whom we Jews also have our inheritance, having been chosen beforehand according to the purpose of Him who executes all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 mondo mi wan mane wakwongo geno kuom Kristo, wadag ngima mamiyo ipako duongʼne maler.
that we who first hoped in Christ should be for the praise of his glory.
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,
And in him, because you listened to the proclamation of the truth, the evangel of your salvation, and trusted it, you Gentiles too were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 Rohono en singo manyiso ni wanayud girkeni nyaka chopi kinde mar warruok mar jo-Nyasaye, mondo duongʼne oyud pak.
who for the praise of his glory is the pledge of our common heritage, unto the complete redemption of his purchased property.
15 Mano emomiyo, nyaka ne awinj wach yie ma un-go kuom Ruoth Yesu kendo kuom hera ma uherogo joma oyie duto,
For this reason I also, from the time when I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and your love to all the saints,
16 pok aweyo goyo erokamano ni Nyasaye nikech un, ka aparou e lemona.
do not cease to praise God for you, whenever I mention you 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.
I am praying that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father most glorious, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation, through an intimate knowledge of himself;
18 Bende alamonu mondo chunyu maiye oyawre mondo ungʼe tiend geno ma oseluongoue, ma gin girkeni mogundho mokano ni joma oyie,
and that the eyes of your heart may be flooded with light so that you may understand what is the hope of his calling, what the wealth of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 kod tekone maduongʼ mokalo apima mosemiyowa wan joma oyie. Tekoneno nyiso tich mar tekre maduongʼ,
and what the surpassing greatness of his might in us who believe, as seen in the energy of that resistless might
20 ma nonyiso kuom Kristo kane ochiere oa kuom joma otho, mi omiyo obedo e bade ma korachwich e polo,
which he exercised in raising Christ from the dead, and in seating him at his right hand in the heavenly heights,
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 above all hierarchies and authorities and powers and dominions and every name that is named, not only in this age but in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 To Nyasaye noketo gik moko duto e bwo tiende, kendo nomiyo obedo wi kanisa;
God has put all things under Christ’s feet, and placed him as Head over all in the church,
23 ma en ringre Kristo. En e Jal mapongʼo kendo romo gik moko duto.
which is his body, the fulness of Him who fills the universe.
