Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi ʻEfesō, pea ki he kakai tui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae kelesi, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e tau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
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.
Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne tāpuaki ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki fakalaumālie kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi:
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
ʻO fakatatau ki heʻene fili ʻakitautolu ʻiate ia ʻi he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻa māmani, koeʻuhi ke tau māʻoniʻoni mo taʻehalaia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ʻofa:
5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,
ʻAia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakitautolu ki he ʻohia ʻoe fānau kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he angaʻofa ʻo hono finangalo,
6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
Ke ai ha fakafetaʻi ʻi heʻene ʻofa ongoongolelei, ʻaia kuo ne maʻu ai ʻakitautolu ʻi he ʻOfeina.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
ʻAia ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻae huhuʻi hono taʻataʻa, ko e fakamolemole ʻoe ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa;
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
ʻAia kuo ne fonu lahi ʻaupito ai kiate kitautolu, ʻi he poto kotoa pē mo e ʻiloʻilo;
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
ʻI he fakaʻilo kiate kitautolu ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻo hono finangalo, ʻo fakatatau mo e angaʻofa ʻaʻana, ʻaia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻiate ia pe:
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Koeʻuhi ʻi he kakato ʻoe ngaahi kuonga naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, ke ne fakakātoa fakataha ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi, ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻi he langi, mo ia ʻoku ʻi māmani; ʻio, ʻiate 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,
ʻAia kuo mau maʻu ai foki ʻae tofiʻa, he kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻiteliha ʻo ia ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he poto ʻo hono finangalo:
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
Koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ʻene angalelei ʻiate kimautolu naʻe tomuʻa falala kia Kalaisi,
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,
Mo kimoutolu foki, ʻi he hili hoʻomou fanongo ki he folofola ʻoe moʻoni, ko e ongoongolelei ʻo homou fakamoʻui: ʻaia foki ʻi hoʻomou tui, naʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻoe talaʻofa,
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
ʻAia ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo hotau tofiʻa, kaeʻoua ke huhuʻi ʻae tofiʻa kuo fakatau, ke fakaongolelei ai ʻene angalelei.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
Pea ko au foki, hili ʻeku fanongo ki hoʻomou tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo e ʻofa ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻeku ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo takua ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu;
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.
Koeʻuhi ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Tamai ʻoe nāunau, ʻae laumālie ʻoe poto mo e fakahā ʻi he faʻa ʻiloʻi 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,
ʻI he fakamaama ʻae mata ʻo homou loto; koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ai, pe ko e hā ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻo ʻene ui, pea ko e hā ʻae koloa ʻoe lelei ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻi he kāinga māʻoniʻoni,
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
Pea ko e hā hono lahi fakamanavahē ʻo ʻene mālohi kiate kitautolu ʻoku tui, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻa hono māfimafi lahi ʻaupito,
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
ʻAia naʻa ne fai kia Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia, ʻo ne fakanofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi,
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)
ʻO māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi pule kotoa pē, mo e mālohi, mo e māfimafi, mo e ʻeikiʻanga mo e hingoa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ʻaki, ʻikai ʻi he māmani pe, ka ʻi he maama ko ia foki ʻe hoko: (aiōn g165)
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
Pea kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe, pea fakanofo ia ko e ʻulu ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono siasi,
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
ʻAia ko hono sino, ko e fonu ʻo ia ʻoku ne fakafonu kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
