Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Akwụkwọ ozi a sitere nʼaka mụ onwe m bụ Pọl, onye Chineke họpụtara ịbụ onyeozi Jisọs Kraịst. Ọ bụ unu ndị nsọ bi nʼEfesọs, unu bụ ndị kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, ka m na-edere ya:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
Ka otuto dịrị Chineke, na Nna Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, bụ onye gọziri anyị site nʼinye anyị ngọzị niile nke ime mmụọ nke si nʼebe niile nke eluigwe nʼime Kraịst.
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
Dịka o si họpụta anyị nʼime Kraịst tupu a tọọ ntọala ụwa, ka anyị bụrụ ndị dị nsọ na ndị na-enweghị ịta ụta nʼihu ya nʼịhụnanya.
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
O kpebiri ime anyị ụmụ ya site nʼihi Kraịst Jisọs. Ma o mekwara ihe ndị a niile nʼihi na ọ tọrọ ya ụtọ nʼobi, bụrụkwa ihe o zubere ime.
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
Ka e si otu a too ịdị ebube nke amara ya, nke o ji obi ya niile nye anyị nʼime Onye ahụ ọ hụrụ nʼanya.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Nʼime ya, anyị nwere mgbapụta site nʼọbara ya, bụ mgbaghara nke njehie niile anyị; dị ka ịba ụba nke amara ya si dị,
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
nke o mere ka ọ babigara anyị ụba oke site nʼamamihe na nghọta niile.
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
O meela ka anyị mata ihe omimi nzube ya, dị ka o si tọọ ya ụtọ, bụ ihe omimi o zubere ime nʼime Kraịst.
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Nke ọ ga-eme ka o mezuo mgbe oge ya niile zuru, nke bụ ịchịkọta ihe niile nʼime ya, bụ ihe ndị dị nʼeluigwe na nʼụwa nʼokpuru Kraịst.
11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
Nʼime Kraịst ka e mere anyị ndị nketa, ndị e bururị ụzọ họpụta na mbụ, dị ka atụmatụ onye ahụ na-arụpụta ihe niile nʼizuoke nke nzube na ebumnuche ya.
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
Nke mere na anyị, ndị buuru ụzọ nwee olileanya na Kraịst, ga-ebi ndụ nʼotuto nke ebube ya.
13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Unu bụkwa ndị a gụnyere nʼime Kraịst mgbe unu nụrụ ozi nke eziokwu ahụ bụ oziọma nke nzọpụta. Mgbe unu kwenyere, a kara unu akara nʼime ya bụ akara nke nkwa ahụ bụ Mmụọ Nsọ.
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
Nke a bụ ihe nketa anyị tutu ruo mgbe a rụzuru ọrụ mgbapụta nke ndị ahụ niile bụ ihe nweta Chineke. Ka e si otu a too ebube ya.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
Nʼihi nke a, ebe m nụrụ akụkọ banyere okwukwe unu nʼime Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, nụkwa maka ịhụnanya unu nwere nʼebe ndị nsọ niile nọ,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
esepụghị m aka ikele ekele nʼihi unu, mgbe niile m na-echeta unu nʼekpere m niile.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.
Ana m arịọ Chineke nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst bụ Nna Onyenwe ebube niile, ka o nye unu Mmụọ amamihe na ezi nghọta ka unu nwee ike matazie nke ọma onye ọ bụ,
18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
ka o meghee anya nke ime mmụọ unu ka unu matakwa ụdị olileanya unu nwere nʼihi ọkpụkpọ ọ kpọrọ unu, na akụ, na ihe nketa dị ebube o nwere nʼime ndị nsọ.
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
Na ịdị ukwuu nke ike ya nke na-enweghị atụ dịrị anyị, bụ ndị kwere ekwe, dịka ịrụsị ọrụ ike nke ike ya si dị.
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
Nke ọ rụrụ nʼime Kraịst mgbe o si nʼọnwụ kpọlite ya mee ya ka ọ nọdụ nʼaka nri ya nʼebe niile nke eluigwe.
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. (aiōn g165)
Ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịa ọchịchị niile, na ikike ọchịchị niile, na ike niile na ịchị isi niile, na aha ọkwa ọchịchị nke e nwere ike inye mmadụ, ọ bụghị naanị nʼọgbọ a, kama ma nʼọgbọ ọzọ na-abịa. (aiōn g165)
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
O mere ka ihe niile dị nʼokpuru ya, meekwa ya ka ọ bụrụ onyeisi ihe niile nye nzukọ ya bụ chọọchị.
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Nke bụ ahụ ya, ozuzu oke nke onye ahụ na-emejupụta ihe niile nʼụzọ niile.
