1 An Paulo, jaote mar Kristo Yesu kuom dwaro mar Nyasaye, andikonu un jomaler man Efeso, jogo maluwo Yesu gi chunygi duto.
PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:
2 Ngʼwono gi kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuonwa kod Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo obed kodu.
Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 Pak obed ni Nyasaye ma wuon Ruodhwa Yesu Kristo, mosegwedhowa kod gweth duto mag chuny koa e polo kuom Kristo.
Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, by the Messiah:
4 Kane pok ochwe piny, noyierowa kuom Kristo mondo wabed maler kendo maonge songa e nyime.
according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;
5 Kuom herane, nowalowa chon mondo wabed yawuote kuom Yesu Kristo nikech mano ema ne chenrone kod dwarone.
and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:
6 Notimo kamano mondo ngʼwonone man-gi duongʼ mane ochiwo nono oyud pak, ma osemiyowa nono kuom Wuode mohero.
that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One;
7 Ne owarowa kuom rembe koweyonwa richowa koluwore gi ngʼwonone mathoth.
by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,
8 Mano kaka mich ma Nyasaye oseolo kuomwa kuom ngʼwonone ogundho.
which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
9 Kuom riekone kod ngʼeyone, oseelonwa dwarone mopondo, mana kaka nochano chon ni notimrenwa kuom Kristo,
And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,
10 ka kindeno nochopi nochano mondo oket gik moko duto manie polo gi piny e bwo loch achiel, ma en Kristo.
in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.
11 Kuome bende ema noyierowae mondo wabed jocham girkeni; kaluwore gi chenrone motimogo gik moko duto moluwore gi dwarone,
And in him we are elected, according as he predestined us and willed, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his pleasure;
12 mondo mi wan mane wakwongo geno kuom Kristo, wadag ngima mamiyo ipako duongʼne maler.
that we should be they who first hoped in the Messiah, to the honor 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,
In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,
14 Rohono en singo manyiso ni wanayud girkeni nyaka chopi kinde mar warruok mar jo-Nyasaye, mondo duongʼne oyud pak.
who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for 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,
Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,
16 pok aweyo goyo erokamano ni Nyasaye nikech un, ka aparou e lemona.
cease not to give thanks on your account, and to remember 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.
that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition 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 the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so 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 kod tekone maduongʼ mokalo apima mosemiyowa wan joma oyie. Tekoneno nyiso tich mar tekre maduongʼ,
and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency 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,
which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him 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)
high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: (aiōn g165)
22 To Nyasaye noketo gik moko duto e bwo tiende, kendo nomiyo obedo wi kanisa;
and he hath subjected all things under his feet; and hath given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church;
23 ma en ringre Kristo. En e Jal mapongʼo kendo romo gik moko duto.
which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:
