Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Naku, na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei Apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Epeha, ara ki te hunga whakapono i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
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.
Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tatou i manaaki ki nga manaaki katoa o te wairua ki nga wahi o te rangi, i roto i a te Karaiti:
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
I runga i te tikanga i whiriwhiria ai tatou e ia i roto i a ia i mua i te orokohanganga o te ao, hei hunga tapu, kahakore i tona aroaro, i runga i te aroha.
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
He mea whakarite hoki tatou nana i mua, hei tama mana, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ko ta tona whakaaro hoki i pai ai,
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
Hei whakamoemiti mo te kororia o tona aroha noa, i atawhaitia ai tatou i roto i tana i aroha ai.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Kei roto nei i a ia to tatou whakaoranga i runga i ona toto, ara te murunga o nga he; he hua hoki no tona aroha noa,
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
I hira rawa nei ki a tatou i runga i nga whakaaro nui, i nga whakaaro mohio katoa;
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
Whakakitea mai ana hoki e ia ki a tatou tana whakaaro ngaro, tana hoki i ahuareka ai, tana i whakatakoto ai i mua i roto i a ia,
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Mo te tikanga ina rite nga wa, kia huihuia nga mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti, nga mea i te rangi, me nga mea i te whenua; i roto ano i a ia,
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,
I whakawhiwhia nei matou i roto i a ia, he mea whakarite i mua i runga i tana i whakatakoto ai, e mahia ana hoki e ia nga mea katoa i runga i ta tona whakaaro i pai ai:
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
Kia ai matou hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia, ara matou, te hunga kua tumanako wawe ki a te Karaiti.
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,
Me koutou hoki tumanako ana ano koutou ki a ia, i to koutou rongonga ki te kupu o te pono, ki te rongopai o to koutou ora: a, i to koutou whakaponotanga ki a ia, na hiritia ana koutou e te Wairua Tapu i korerotia mai i mua:
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
Hei taumau i nga taonga mo tatou, kia whakaorangia ra ano ta te Atua mea i hokona, hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
Na konei ahau, i toku rongonga ki to koutou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu, ki te aroha ano hoki ki te hunga tapu katoa,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
Kahore e mutu taku whakawhetai mo koutou, me te whakahua ano i a koutou i aku inoinga;
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.
Kia homai ki a koutou e te Atua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, e te Matua o te kororia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te whakakitenga i runga i te mohio ki a ia:
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,
Kia whakamaramatia nga kanohi o to koutou hinengaro; kia matau ai koutou ki te mea o tana karanga e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te kororia nui hoki o tona taonga i roto i te hunga tapu,
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
Ki te nui whakaharahara hoki o tona kaha ki a tatou ki te hunga e whakapono nei, i runga i te mahinga a te mana o tona kaha,
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
I mahi ai ia i roto i a te Karaiti i tana whakaarahanga i a ia i te hunga mate, a whakanohoia ana ia ki tona matau, ki nga wahi i te rangi,
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)
Ki runga ake i nga kawanatanga katoa, i te mana, i te kaha, i te rangatiratanga, i nga ingoa katoa hoki e whakahuatia ana, ehara i te mea ko o tenei ao anake, ko o tera ao ano hoki: (aiōn g165)
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
A tukua ana e ia nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae, meinga ana hoki ia hei i runga i nga mea katoa mo te hahi,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Ara mo tona tinana, e ki tonu nei i a ia, i te kaiwhakaki o nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.
