Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to God's holy people in Ephesus, who are 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 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ sí yín àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wá àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places 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 God chose us in him from the beginning of the world, that we may be holy and blameless in his sight in love.
Àní, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti yàn wá nínú rẹ̀ ṣáájú ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, láti jẹ́ mímọ́ àti aláìlábùkù níwájú rẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́
5 God chose us beforehand for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, 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 Our adoption results in the praise of his glorious grace that he has freely given us in the One he loves.
fún ìyìn ògo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀, èyí tí ò ti fi fún wa nínú Àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀.
7 In Jesus Christ we have redemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Nínú rẹ̀ ni àwa rí ìràpadà gba nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ àti ìdáríjì àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run
8 He lavished this grace upon us with all wisdom and understanding.
èyí tí ó fún wa lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọgbọ́n àti ìmòye,
9 God made known to us the hidden purpose of his will, according to what pleased him, and which he demonstrated in Christ,
Ó ti sọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdùnnú rere rẹ̀, èyí ti o pinnu nínú Kristi,
10 with a view to a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things together, all things in heaven and on earth, under one head, even Christ.
èyí tí yóò jẹ jáde ní kíkún àkókò, láti ṣe àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ohun tí ọ̀run àti ti ayé lábẹ́ Kristi.
11 In Christ we were appointed as heirs. We were decided on beforehand according to the plan of him who works out everything according to the purpose 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 God appointed us as heirs so that we might be the first to have a certain hope in Christ, so we would be for the praise of his glory.
kí àwa kí ó le wà fún ìyìn ògo rẹ̀, àwa tí a ti ni ìrètí ṣáájú nínú Kristi.
13 In Christ, you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you believed in him and were sealed with the promised 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 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we take full possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
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 reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's holy people,
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 I have not stopped thanking God for you as I mention you in my prayers.
Èmi kò sì sinmi láti máa dúpẹ́ nítorí yín, àti láti máa rántí yín nínú àdúrà mi.
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the 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 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, that you may know the hope to which he has called you and the riches of his glorious inheritance among all God's holy people.
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 In my prayers I ask that you may know the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great strength.
àti aláìlẹ́gbẹ́ títóbi agbára rẹ̀ fún àwa tí a gbàgbọ́. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀,
20 This is the same power that God worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
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 He seated Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named. Christ will rule, not only in this age, but also in the age to come. (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 God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as head over all things.
Ọlọ́run sì ti fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi í ṣe orí lórí ohun gbogbo fún ìjọ,
23 The church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
èyí tí i ṣe ara rẹ̀, ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ẹni tí ó kún ohun gbogbo ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
