Ephesians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to God's will, to the Christians in Ephesus and those who trust in Christ Jesus.
Krataa yi firi me Paulo a Onyankopɔn firi ne pɛ mu ayɛ me Kristo Yesu somafoɔ no nkyɛn, Meretwerɛ akɔma ahotefoɔ a wɔte Efeso, Kristo Yesu mu nokwafoɔ no:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo no nka mo.
3 Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all that's spiritually good in the heavenly world,
Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no ase, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnam Kristo so de honhom mu nhyira a ɛfiri ɔsoro abrɛ yɛn.
4 just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
Ansa na Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ ewiase no, ɔdɔɔ yɛn na ɔyii yɛn wɔ Kristo mu sɛ yɛbɛyɛ kronkron a mfomsoɔ biara nni yɛn ho wɔ nʼani so. Ɔfiri ɔdɔ mu
5 He decided in advance to adopt us as his children, working through Jesus Christ to bring us to himself. He was happy to do this because this is what he wanted.
hyɛ too hɔ sɛ, ne pɛ mu no, ɔnam Yesu Kristo so de yɛn bɛyɛ ne mma,
6 So we praise him for his glorious grace that he so kindly gave us in his beloved Son.
de akamfo nʼadom a ɛdɔɔso a ɔde akyɛ yɛn kwa wɔ ne Dɔ Ba no mu no.
7 Through him we gain salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his priceless grace
Ne mu na yɛnya ɔgyeɛ a ɛfiri ne mogya mu. Ne mu na yɛnya bɔnefakyɛ nso, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn adom mmorosoɔ a
8 that he so generously provided for us, together with all wisdom and understanding.
ɔde nyansa ne nteaseɛ nyinaa hwie guu yɛn so no teɛ.
9 He revealed to us his previously-hidden will through which he was happy to pursue his plan
Onyankopɔn nam deɛ Kristo yɛeɛ no so ada nʼanwanwa kwan no adi akyerɛ yɛn sɛ,
10 at the appropriate time to bring everyone together in Christ—those in heaven and those on the earth.
ɛberɛ a wahyɛ no, ɔbɛboaboa abɔdeɛ nyinaa ano, deɛ ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne deɛ ɛwɔ asase so ahyɛ ɔbaako a ɔne Kristo no ase.
11 In him—we were chosen beforehand, according to the plan of the one who is working everything out according to his will,
Onyankopɔn yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ ɛberɛ biara. Ɛno enti na ɔnam Kristo so paw yɛn firii ewiase ahyɛaseɛ,
12 for the purpose that we who were the first to hope in Christ could praise his glory.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn a yɛdii ɛkan nyaa anidasoɔ wɔ Kristo mu no bɛyɛ nkamfo ahyɛ no animuonyam.
13 In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit's promise,
Saa ara na ɛte wɔ mo ho nso. Ɛberɛ a motee nokwasɛm a ɛyɛ Asɛmpa a ɛmaa mo nkwagyeɛ no, mogyee Kristo diiɛ. Wɔde bɔhyɛ Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ mo nso wɔ ne mu.
14 which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he's kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
Honhom no ma yɛn awerɛhyɛmu sɛ wɔde deɛ Onyankopɔn de asie ama ne nkurɔfoɔ no bɛma yɛn. Afei, yɛbɛde yɛn ho na wɔbɛkamfo Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no animuonyam.
15 That's the reason, because I've heard of your trust in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all Christians,
Esiane yei enti, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a metee gyidie a mowɔ wɔ Awurade Yesu mu ne ɔdɔ a modɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ no,
16 why I never stop thanking God for you and remember you in my prayers.
mennyaee aseda a meda Onyankopɔn ma mo no da. Mekae mo wɔ me mpaeɛbɔ mu,
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
na mebisa yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam Agya no sɛ, ɔmma mo Honhom Kronkron no a ɔbɛma mo nyansa na wada Onyankopɔn adi akyerɛ mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛhunu no.
18 May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he's called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.
Mesrɛ sɛ mo adwene mu mmue na monhunu ne hann no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya anidasoɔ a ɛno enti ɔfrɛɛ mo no ne ahonya a ɛwɔ agyapadeɛ kronkron a ɛwɔ hɔ ma ahotefoɔ no,
19 May you also understand God's amazing power
ne ne tumi a ɛso na biribiara ne no nsɛ ma yɛn a yɛgye die no. Ɛyɛ saa tumi nwanwasoɔ no ara na ɔdaa no adi
20 that he demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead. God seated Christ at his right hand in heaven,
ɛberɛ a ɔnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu na ɔde no tenaa ne nifa so wɔ ɔsoro ahemman no mu no.
21 far above any other ruler, authority, power, or lord, or any leader with all their titles—not only in this world, but also in the coming world too. (aiōn g165)
Saa tumi yi korɔn sene mpaninnie ne tumidie, ahoɔden ne kɛseyɛ, ne diberɛ biara a wɔtumi de ma saa ɛberɛ yi ne ɛberɛ a ɛbɛba no mu. (aiōn g165)
22 God has made everything subject to the authority of Christ, and has given him the responsibility as head over everything for the church,
Onyankopɔn de biribiara hyɛɛ Kristo nan ase, na ɔde no ayɛ nneɛma nyinaa ti ama asafo no,
23 which is his body, filled full and made complete by Christ, who fills and brings everything to completion.
a ɛne ne onipadua. Ɔno ne deɛ ɔhyɛ adeɛ nyinaa ma wɔ akwan nyinaa mu.
