Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to 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 be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from 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 hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
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 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
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 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose 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 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.
Hei whakamoemiti mo te kororia o tona aroha noa, i atawhaitia ai tatou i roto i tana i aroha ai.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, 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 Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,
I hira rawa nei ki a tatou i runga i nga whakaaro nui, i nga whakaaro mohio katoa;
9 That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
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 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
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 whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to 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 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
Kia ai matou hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia, ara matou, te hunga kua tumanako wawe ki a te Karaiti.
13 In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation; ) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,
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, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto 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 Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards 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 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of 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 Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the 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 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his 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 what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
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 wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.
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 Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is 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 he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all 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, and the fulness of him who is filled 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.
