Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Nye Paulo, ame si Mawu tia be manye Yesu Kristo ƒe apostolo la gbɔe agbalẽ sia tso, Na ame kɔkɔewo kple xɔsetɔwo le Kristo Yesu me le Efeso:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amenuveve kple ŋutifafa si tso Mawu, mía Fofo kple Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo gbɔ la nanɔ anyi kpli mi.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Míetsɔ kafukafu na Mawu, míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo Fofo, ame si tsɔ gbɔgbɔmeyayra ɖe sia ɖe si le dziƒonutowo me la kɔ ɖe mía dzi le Kristo me.
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
Etia mí le eya amea me hafi wɔ xexea me be míanye ame kɔkɔewo kple ame siwo ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o la le eƒe ŋkume.
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Le lɔlɔ̃ me la, ewɔ ɖoɖo tɔxɛ ɖe mía ŋu be míanye ye viwo to Yesu Kristo dzi. Mawu wɔ esia, esi wòɖo Yesu Kristo ɖa be wòaku ɖe mía ta. Ewɔ ɖoɖo sia to eya ŋutɔ ƒe dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ kple lɔlɔ̃nu me!
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
Azɔ la, mitsɔ kafukafu na Mawu ɖe eƒe dɔmenyo gã sia ta. Mikafui ɖe eƒe amenuveve sɔgbɔ si wòkɔ ɖe mía dzi la ta, ɖe esi míenye Via lɔlɔ̃a tɔ ta.
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Eƒe dɔmenyo la gbã go ɖe mía dzi ale gbegbe be wòɖe míaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖa to Via ƒe ʋu la me, ame si dzi wòto ɖe mí,
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
eye wòtsɔ eƒe amenuveve xɔasi la kɔ ɖe mía dzi, elabena ekɔ nunya kple gɔmesese ɖe mía dzi.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Mawu gblɔ eƒe susu ɣaɣla si ta wòɖo Kristo ɖa la na mí. Ewɔ ɖoɖo sia ɖe nublanuikpɔkpɔ na mí ta.
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
Eƒe taɖodzinue nye be ne ɣeyiɣi si wòɖo la de la, aƒo nuwo katã nu ƒu tso afi sia afi, eɖanye dziƒo alo anyigba dzi o, ɖe Kristo te, tso mavɔ me yi mavɔ me.
11 We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
Gawu la, le nu si Kristo wɔ ɖe mía nu ta la, míezu nunana xɔasi siwo ŋuti Mawu kpɔa dzidzɔ le la, elabena abe ɖoɖo si Mawu wɔ la ƒe akpa aɖe ene la, etia mí tso gɔmedzedzea me ke be míanye ye tɔwo, eye nu siawo katã le eme vam pɛpɛpɛ abe ale si wòɖoe tso blema ke ene.
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
Mawu ƒe ɖoɖo le nu sia mee nye be mí ame siwo nye ame gbãtɔ siwo dze si Kristo la, míakafui, atsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe nɛ ɖe dɔ gã siwo katã wòwɔ na mí la ta.
13 In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Eye ɖe dɔ si Kristo wɔ ta la, mi ame siwo se nyateƒe la ƒe nya la, eye miexɔ Kristo dzi se la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe si ŋugbe wòdo na mí kristotɔwo la de dzesi mi be mienye kristotɔwo.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Eƒe mía me nɔnɔ nye kpeɖodzi tso Mawu gbɔ be awɔ nu sia nu si ŋugbe wòdo na mí la godoo. Gbɔgbɔ la ƒe mía me nɔnɔ fia be Mawu ƒle mí xoxo, eye wòɖo kpe edzi be yeakplɔ mí ava eɖokui gbɔe hena eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe kafukafu.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,
Esia ta tso ɣeyiɣi si mese xɔse si le mia si le Aƒetɔ Yesu me kple lɔlɔ̃ si le mia me na ame kɔkɔewo katã la,
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
nyemedzudzɔ akpedada na Mawu ɖe mia ta o, eye meɖoa ŋku mia dzi ɖaa le nye gbedodoɖawo me.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
Mebiaa míaƒe Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ƒe Mawu si nye ŋutikɔkɔe Fofo la be wòana Gbɔgbɔ la ƒe nunya kple ɖeɖefia mi be miaganyae ɖe edzi wu.
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Medoa gbe ɖa be miaƒe gbɔgbɔmeŋkuwo naʋu, eye dzi nyanu nanɔ mia si be míade dzesi mɔkpɔkpɔ si wòyɔ mí na, eƒe kesinɔnu, ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe domenyinyi si wòna ame kɔkɔewo,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
kple eƒe ŋusẽ gã triakɔ si wona mí ame siwo xɔ edzi se la. Ŋusẽ triakɔ sia le abe eƒe ŋusẽ gã la ƒe dɔwɔwɔ ene.
20 which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Ŋusẽ triakɔ siae fɔ Kristo ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome, eye wòtsɔe ɖo bubuteƒe le Mawu ƒe nuɖusime le dziƒo.
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Teƒe si kɔ wu dziɖulawo tɔ kple ŋusẽ kple ŋutete kple aƒetɔnyenye ɖe sia ɖe tɔ, kpakple ŋkɔ si kɔ wu ŋkɔ siwo katã le xexe sia me kple xexe si gbɔna la me. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
Mawu tsɔ nuwo katã de eƒe afɔ te, eye wòwɔe hame la ƒe tatɔ gãtɔe.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Hame sia nye eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutilã. Eyɔ hame la fũu, eye eƒe nɔnɔme le nu sia nu me.
