Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, through God’s will, unto the saints who are [in Ephesus] and faithful in Christ Jesus, —
Paulu, aposteli Jesu Kristi nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, Sí àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ tí ó wà ní Efesu, àti sí àwọn olóòtítọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu:
2 Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ sí yín àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wá àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
3 Blessed, be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenlies, in Christ,
Ògo ni fún Ọlọ́run àti Baba Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, ẹni tí ó ti bùkún wa láti inú ọ̀run wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ìbùkún ẹ̀mí gbogbo nínú Kristi.
4 According as he made choice of us, in him, before the founding of a world, that we might be holy and blameless in his presence; in love,
Àní, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti yàn wá nínú rẹ̀ ṣáájú ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, láti jẹ́ mímọ́ àti aláìlábùkù níwájú rẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́
5 marking us out beforehand unto sonship, through Jesus Christ, for himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
ẹni tí ò ti yàn wá tẹ́lẹ̀ sí ìsọdọmọ nípa Jesu Kristi fún ara rẹ̀, ní ìbámu ìdùnnú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀,
6 Unto the praise of the glory of his favour wherewith he favoured us in the Beloved One, —
fún ìyìn ògo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀, èyí tí ò ti fi fún wa nínú Àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀.
7 In whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of our offences, according to the riches of his favour,
Nínú rẹ̀ ni àwa rí ìràpadà gba nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ àti ìdáríjì àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run
8 which he made to superabound towards us; in all wisdom and prudence,
èyí tí ó fún wa lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọgbọ́n àti ìmòye,
9 making known to us the sacred secret of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him, —
Ó ti sọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdùnnú rere rẹ̀, èyí ti o pinnu nínú Kristi,
10 For an administration of the fulness of the seasons, to reunite for himself (under one head) the all things in the Christ, the things upon the heavens, and the things upon the earth, in him:
èyí tí yóò jẹ jáde ní kíkún àkókò, láti ṣe àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ohun tí ọ̀run àti ti ayé lábẹ́ Kristi.
11 In whom also we were taken as an inheritance, according to the purpose of him who energiseth all things according to the counsel of his will,
Nínú rẹ̀ ni a yàn wá fẹ́ lẹ́yìn tí ó ti yàn wá tẹ́lẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu ẹni tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ohun gbogbo ní ìbámu ìfẹ́ rẹ̀,
12 That we should be for the praise of his glory—we who had hoped beforehand in the Christ, —
kí àwa kí ó le wà fún ìyìn ògo rẹ̀, àwa tí a ti ni ìrètí ṣáájú nínú Kristi.
13 In whom, ye also—hearing the word of the truth, the glad-message of your salvation, —in whom also believing, —were sealed with the Spirit of the promise, the Holy [Spirit],
Àti ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú darapọ̀ nínú Kristi nígbà tí ẹ̀yin gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ náà àní ìyìnrere ìgbàlà yin. Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin gbàgbọ́, a fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ṣe èdìdì ayé yin nínú rẹ, èyí tí a ti ṣe ìlérí rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀,
14 Which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of the acquisition; —unto his glorious praise.
èyí tí ó jẹ́ ìdánilójú àṣansílẹ̀ ogún wa títí yóò fi di àkókò ìràpadà àwọn tí í ṣe ti Ọlọ́run sí ìyìn ògo rẹ̀.
15 For this cause, I also, —having heard of the faith on your part in the Lord Jesus, and that towards all the saints,
Nítorí ìdí èyí, nígbà tí mo ti gbúròó ìgbàgbọ́ ti ń bẹ láàrín yín nínú Jesu Olúwa, àti ìfẹ́ yín sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
16 Cease not giving thanks in your behalf, making mention in my prayers,
Èmi kò sì sinmi láti máa dúpẹ́ nítorí yín, àti láti máa rántí yín nínú àdúrà mi.
17 That, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you a Spirit of wisdom and understanding in gaining a personal knowledge of him, —
Mo sì ń béèrè nígbà gbogbo pé kí Ọlọ́run Jesu Kristi Olúwa wa, Baba ògo, lè fún yín ni Ẹ̀mí nípa ti ọgbọ́n àti ti ìfihàn kí ẹ̀yin kí ó tún lè mọ̀ ọ́n sí i.
18 The eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that ye may know—what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Mo tún ń gbàdúrà bákan náà wí pé kí ojú ọkàn yín lè mọ́lẹ̀; kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ ohun tí ìrètí ìpè rẹ̀ jẹ́, àti ọrọ̀ ògo rẹ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ogún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́,
19 And what the surpassing greatness of his power unto us who believe, —according to the energy of the grasp of his might
àti aláìlẹ́gbẹ́ títóbi agbára rẹ̀ fún àwa tí a gbàgbọ́. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀,
20 which he energised in the Christ, when he raised him from among the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenlies,
èyí tí ó fi sínú Kristi, nígbà tí o ti jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, tí ó sì mú un jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún nínú àwọn ọ̀run.
21 Over-above all principality, authority, and power, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one, (aiōn g165)
Ó gbéga ju gbogbo ìjọba, àti àṣẹ, àti agbára, àti òye àti gbogbo orúkọ tí a ń dá, kì í ṣe ni ayé yìí nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ni èyí tí ń bọ̀ pẹ̀lú. (aiōn g165)
22 And did put, all things, in subjection beneath his feet. And gave him to be head over all things unto the assembly,
Ọlọ́run sì ti fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi í ṣe orí lórí ohun gbogbo fún ìjọ,
23 Which, indeed, is his body, the fulness of him who, the all things in all, is for himself filling up.
èyí tí i ṣe ara rẹ̀, ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ẹni tí ó kún ohun gbogbo ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
