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.
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 be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from 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 hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
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 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
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 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose 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 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.
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 whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, 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 Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,
nke o mere ka ọ babigara anyị ụba oke site nʼamamihe na nghọta niile.
9 That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
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 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
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 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.
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 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
Nke mere na anyị, ndị buuru ụzọ nwee olileanya na Kraịst, ga-ebi ndụ nʼotuto nke ebube ya.
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,
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, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto 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 Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards 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 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of 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 Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the 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 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his 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 what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
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 wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.
Nke ọ rụrụ nʼime Kraịst mgbe o si nʼọnwụ kpọlite ya mee ya ka ọ nọdụ nʼaka nri ya nʼebe niile nke eluigwe.
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)
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 he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all 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, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.
Nke bụ ahụ ya, ozuzu oke nke onye ahụ na-emejupụta ihe niile nʼụzọ niile.
