< Ephesians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful 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 [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo no nka mo.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
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 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
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 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
hyɛ too hɔ sɛ, ne pɛ mu no, ɔnam Yesu Kristo so de yɛn bɛyɛ ne mma,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
de akamfo nʼadom a ɛdɔɔso a ɔde akyɛ yɛn kwa wɔ ne Dɔ Ba no mu no.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ne mu na yɛnya ɔgyeɛ a ɛfiri ne mogya mu. Ne mu na yɛnya bɔnefakyɛ nso, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn adom mmorosoɔ a
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
ɔde nyansa ne nteaseɛ nyinaa hwie guu yɛn so no teɛ.
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Onyankopɔn nam deɛ Kristo yɛeɛ no so ada nʼanwanwa kwan no adi akyerɛ yɛn sɛ,
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
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 whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Onyankopɔn yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ ɛberɛ biara. Ɛno enti na ɔnam Kristo so paw yɛn firii ewiase ahyɛaseɛ,
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn a yɛdii ɛkan nyaa anidasoɔ wɔ Kristo mu no bɛyɛ nkamfo ahyɛ no animuonyam.
13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of 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 the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his 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 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Esiane yei enti, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a metee gyidie a mowɔ wɔ Awurade Yesu mu ne ɔdɔ a modɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ no,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
mennyaee aseda a meda Onyankopɔn ma mo no da. Mekae mo wɔ me mpaeɛbɔ mu,
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
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 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
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 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty 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 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
ɛberɛ a ɔnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu na ɔde no tenaa ne nifa so wɔ ɔsoro ahemman no mu no.
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn )
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 )
22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Onyankopɔn de biribiara hyɛɛ Kristo nan ase, na ɔde no ayɛ nneɛma nyinaa ti ama asafo no,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
a ɛne ne onipadua. Ɔno ne deɛ ɔhyɛ adeɛ nyinaa ma wɔ akwan nyinaa mu.
