Ephesians 1
1 I, Paul, am an apostle whom God appointed (to represent/to proclaim the message about) Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. [I am writing this letter] to you who are the people of God in Ephesus [city. You are people who] (faithfully/continue to) trust in Christ Jesus and who have a close relationship with him.
Ik' shunon Iyesus Krstossh woshek wottso P'awlosoke, Iyesus Krstosn amanek wottswots, Efesonitse beyiru S'ayinwotssh.
2 [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to have [inner] peace.
No nihi Ik'onat nodoonz Iyesus Krstosokere s'aatonat jeenon itsh wotowe.
3 Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of our relationship with Christ, he has blessed us spiritually in every way by giving us blessings that come from heaven.
Darotse fa'a shayiri deer jamo Krstosn noon deertso no doonz Iyesus Krstos nihi Ik'o údewe.
4 Before God created the world, he chose us to be his people because of our (relationship with/union with) Christ, in order that [God could consider] us to be completely holy [DOU]. Because [God] loves [us],
S'ayinonat eeg eego deshawwotsi wotaarr b́ shinatse nodaatsetwok'o datsu b́ azeftsere Krstos weeron noon gal b́dek'i.
5 he decided long ago that he would adopt us to be [as though we were] his own children because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. He decided to do that because it pleased him to do that.
Ik'o b́ geetso sheeng keew b́ wottsotse Iyesus Krstos finon b́ nanaúwotskok'o no wotish bale noon marat'b́dek'i.
6 He did it in order that we would praise him for acting very kindly toward us in a wonderful way that we did not deserve. He did it because of our relationship with his beloved Son {[one, who is also God, whom he] loves}.
Hanowere b́ k'al b́shune na'o weeron beenon noosh b́ imts mang wotts s'aato b́ úditwok'owe.
7 When the blood of Christ [flowed when he died] [MTY], [it was as though] he paid a price to free/save us [from the guilt of our sins]. [That] ([provided a way/made it possible]) [for] God to act very kindly toward us to forgive us for having sinned.
Ik' s'aati s'eenatse tuutson b́ naay s'atson keeweyat no morrosh orowa eto daatsrone.
8 He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
B́ s'aatono ayidek't noosh kuut're, danonat dani teleefonowere,
9 He has enabled us to know the things that he had planned secretly (OR, that he had not revealed to anyone yet). He did that because he wanted to do that, and because he planned to do that by means of the things Christ would do.
Ik'o b́ shuntso Krstos weeron bali b́ k'úmtsok'on ááshat teshts b́shunman no danetwok'o woshre.
10 God planned that at the time that [he appointed], he would unite all things/beings in heaven and all things/beings on earth (OR, all beings in heaven and all things on earth), and cause Christ to be the one who will rule them [MET].
Dúri s'uwi aawo b́ bodor Ik'o finats b́ jitsts b́ k'úmtsman daronat datsatse beyiru azeets jamwots ko'ide'er ik s'uzo Krstos shirots bo wotitwok'o b́ woshiti.
11 Because of our close relationship with Christ, God has also chosen us [(inc)] (OR, us [(exc)] Jews) to receive what he has promised [to give] us. He decided long ago to do that. It was exactly what he planned. He accomplishes everything exactly as he plans and desires,
Jam keewo b́ took shunok'on finiru Ik'o bali b́ k'úmtsok'on Krstos weeron b́ jirwotsi no wotitwok'o noon marat'b́dek'i.
12 in order that we(exc) Jews, who confidently expected the Messiah to do great things for us before the non-Jews expected such things (OR, we [(inc)] who were already confidently expecting Christ [to do great things for us]) will praise him for his greatness.
Man b́wotwere Krstosi jángon shintswotsi wottswots noo Ik'o b́mangosh no úditwok'owe.
13 You [Ephesians] also heard the true message, the good message about how God saves you. [People] put their seal on something to show that [it belongs to them]. Similarly, when you believed [in Christ], God [showed that you also belong to him by sending you] the Holy Spirit as he promised to do [MET].
It it kashosh doo shishi aap' wottso ari aap'o it shishor Krstosi it amani, mank'o bí itsh imosh jangit b́ teshts S'ayin shayri matabo itats togk'rere.
14 The Holy Spirit is [like] [MET] a (deposit/down payment). That is, he (guarantees/assures us) that [we will receive] all that God has promised to give us, at the time when God will give to those who belong to him [MET] everything that [Christ] freed us to receive. [God also assures you that you belong to him], in order that you would praise him for his greatness.
Shayiranwere b́ mango údosh b́ wotitwok'o Ik'o bík wotts jamwotsi b́ kashifetsosh nodaatsit naatosh dets nodek'tsoniye.
15 Because of [what God has done for you], and because [people] told me that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus and that you love all those who belong to God,
Eshe doonzo Iyesusatse it detsts imnetiyonat S'ayin jamwotssh it detsts shuno shishat,
16 I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
itn Ik' k'onon gawfetsat it jangosh Ik'osh údo t'intso need'iratse.
17 [I pray] that God, who is the glorious/wonderful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may cause his Spirit to make you wise, and that his Spirit will reveal [God to you] so that you may fully know him.
Mango bísh wotitwo no doonz Iyesus Krstos nihi Ik'o ayide'er it danetwok'o dani teleefonat bek'i shayiro itsh b́ imetwok'o Ik'o k'onitwe.
18 And I pray that God would enable you to understand [MTY] his truth, in order that in your (inner beings/hearts) you may know the things that we believers should confidently expect to receive because he chose us [to be his people]. And I pray that you will know how God will bless his people in a very wonderful way [when we finally receive] all that he has promised to give us.
Aaw naari jangosh it s'egetsok'onat S'ayinwots bo naatet mang wotts ristiyo aawk'o ayi b́ wotok'o it danetwok'o it nibi ááwo b́ sháánetwok'o Ik'o k'onitwe.
19 And [I pray that] you will know how very powerfully [God helps] us who continue to trust [in Christ]. He works powerfully for us
Tatsdeshaw bí angi eeno noosh amanirúwotssh aawk'o een b́ wotok'o it danetwok'o Ik'o k'onitwe,
20 just like he acted powerfully for Christ when he caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and put him in the place of highest/greatest honor [MTY] in heaven.
Bí anigi eenano finats b́jiitsi k'irotse tuzdek't darotse b́ k'ano maants b́ beeztso Krstosne.
21 [There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
Ik'o niho Krstosi darotse b́ k'ano maants b́ beez aaw naari alguroniyre, aloniyere, naashoniyere, angoniyere, doonzwottsonat shúúts jamoniyere damb aaninwere datsan s'uzats b́ woterawo weet datswatsnorniye. (aiōn g165)
22 God has caused all beings to be subject to Christ [MTY], and he has also appointed Christ, who rules over all things, to rule [MET] over all believers.
Jam keewo b́ aali shirots woshdek't bísh b́keewiyi, Ik' maatsnowere jamoniyere damb b́ wotitwok'o tooko bín b́ woshi.
23 We believers [relate to Christ like the parts of a person’s] body [MET] [relate to its head]. Christ uses all [his power among us] just like he uses his power throughout the whole universe.
Ik' moowniye bí atsuniye, jamó b́ jamon s'eentsitwo bín s'eenon kiitsitwaniye.
