Ephesians 1
1 PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah by the pleasure of God, to them who are at Ephesus, sanctified, and believing in Jesus the Messiah:
Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai, Ndĩrandĩkĩra andũ arĩa aamũre kũu Efeso, arĩa ehokeku thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ:
2 Peace be with you, and grace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
Wega na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, irogĩa na inyuĩ.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who hath blessed us with all blessings of the Spirit in heaven, by the Messiah:
Atĩrĩrĩ, Ngai, o we Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, arogoocwo, o we ũtũrathimĩte na irathimo ciothe cia kĩĩroho thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, iria ciumaga kũu igũrũ.
4 according as he had previously chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and without blame before him; and, in love, predestinated us for himself;
Nĩgũkorwo o na thĩ ĩtanombwo, Ngai nĩatũthuurire nĩguo tũtuĩke ake thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, nĩguo tũtuĩke atheru na twage ũcuuke maitho-inĩ make. Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake-rĩ,
5 and adopted us for sons, in Jesus the Messiah, as was agreeable to his pleasure:
Ngai nĩatuĩte o mbere atĩ nĩtũgaatuĩka ciana ciake nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ, kũringana na ũrĩa eendete na ũrĩa oonire arĩ wega,
6 that the glory of his grace might be glorified, which he poured upon us by his Beloved One;
nĩguo wega wake ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri ũkumagio, wega ũcio atũheete o ũguo tũhũ thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ wake ũrĩa endete mũno.
7 by whom we have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins by his blood, according to the riches of his grace,
Na twakũũrirwo na ũndũ wa thakame ya Kristũ, na tũkĩrekerwo mehia maitũ, kũringana na ũrĩa wega wa Ngai ũingĩhĩte,
8 which hath abounded in us, in all wisdom and all spiritual understanding.
wega ũcio aatũingĩhĩirie arĩ na ũũgĩ na ũmenyo wothe.
9 And he hath made us know the mystery of his pleasure, which he had before determined in himself to accomplish,
Nake agĩtũmenyithia hitho ya wendi wake, kũringana na ũrĩa oonire arĩ wega, o ũrĩa aatanyĩte gwĩka thĩinĩ wa Kristũ,
10 in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.
nĩguo ũkaahingio rĩrĩa mahinda marĩa magĩrĩire magaakinya, nĩguo acookanĩrĩrie indo ciothe iria irĩ igũrũ na iria irĩ gũkũ thĩ harĩ mũtongoria ũmwe, na nĩwe Kristũ.
11 And in him we are elected, according as he predestined us and willed, who worketh all things according to the counsel of his pleasure;
Ningĩ nĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ o na ithuĩ twamũkĩrire igai kuuma kũrĩ Ngai, kũringana na ũrĩa aatuĩte o mbere, o we wĩkaga maũndũ mothe kũringana na muoroto wa wendi wake,
12 that we should be they who first hoped in the Messiah, to the honor of his glory.
nĩguo o na ithuĩ arĩa twarĩ a mbere kwĩhoka Kristũ, tũtuĩke a kũgoocithia riiri wa Ngai.
13 In whom, ye also have heard the word of truth, which is the gospel of your life, and have believed in him; and have been sealed with the Holy Spirit, who was promised,
Inyuĩ o na inyuĩ nĩmwataranĩirio na Kristũ mwarĩkia kũigua ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma, naguo nĩguo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũhonokio wanyu. Mwarĩkia gwĩtĩkia, nĩmwekĩrirwo rũũri thĩinĩ wake, na ũndũ wa kũheo Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa mwerĩirwo,
14 who is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of them that are alive, and for the praise of his glory.
Nake Roho nĩwe mũrũgamĩrĩri wa kuonania atĩ nĩtũkagaĩrwo igai riitũ nginya rĩrĩa andũ arĩa marĩ a Ngai magaatuĩka a gũkũũrwo, nĩgeetha riiri wake ũgoocagwo.
15 Therefore, lo I also, since I heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and of your love towards all the saints,
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma rĩrĩa ndaiguire ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio wanyu thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ, o na wendani wanyu ũrĩa mwendaga arĩa othe aamũre naguo-rĩ,
16 cease not to give thanks on your account, and to remember you in my prayers;
ndirĩ ndatigithĩria gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ngĩmũririkanaga mahooya-inĩ makwa.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;
Hooyaga atĩ Ngai wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, o we ithe witũ mwene riiri, amũhe Roho, ũrĩa ũkamũhe ũũgĩ na ũguũrio nĩguo mũmenye Ngai wega.
18 and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;
Ningĩ nĩhooyaga atĩ maitho manyu ma ngoro mathererwo nĩ ũtheri, nĩguo mũmenye ũhoro wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa amwĩtĩire, na mũmenye ũtonga wa igai rĩake rĩrĩ na riiri, rĩrĩa akaagaĩra andũ ake aamũre,
19 and what is the excellence of the majesty of his power in us who believe; according to the efficiency of the strength of his power,
o na ũhoti wake mũnene ũtangĩgereka nĩ ũndũ witũ, ithuĩ arĩa twĩtĩkĩtie. Ũhoti ũcio no ta hinya wake mũnene ũkĩruta wĩra,
20 which he put forth in the Messiah, and raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in heaven,
ũrĩa eekĩrire thĩinĩ wa Kristũ rĩrĩa aamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na akĩmũiga guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo kũu igũrũ,
21 high above all principalities, and authorities, and powers, and lordships, and above every name that is named, not only in this world but also in that to come: (aiōn g165)
na agatũũgĩrio mũno igũrũ rĩa wathani o wothe na ũhoti wothe, na hinya na ũthamaki wothe, na marĩĩtwa mothe ma ũnene marĩa mangĩheanwo, na to mahinda maya moiki, no nĩ o na mahinda marĩa magooka. (aiōn g165)
22 and he hath subjected all things under his feet; and hath given him who is high over all, to be the head of the church;
Nake Ngai akĩiga maũndũ mothe rungu rwa magũrũ make, na akĩmũtua mwathi wa gwathaga maũndũ mothe nĩ ũndũ wa kanitha.
23 which is his body, and the fullness of him who filleth all in all:
Kanitha nĩguo mwĩrĩ wake, na noguo ũiyũru wake, o we ũiyũrĩte maũndũ mothe o na kũndũ guothe.
