< Ephesians 1 >
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Krataa yi firi me Paulo a Onyankopɔn firi ne pɛ mu ayɛ me Kristo Yesu somafoɔ no nkyɛn, Meretwerɛ akɔma ahotefoɔ a wɔte Efeso, Kristo Yesu mu nokwafoɔ no:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo no nka mo.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no ase, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnam Kristo so de honhom mu nhyira a ɛfiri ɔsoro abrɛ yɛn.
4 according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
Ansa na Onyankopɔn bɛbɔ ewiase no, ɔdɔɔ yɛn na ɔyii yɛn wɔ Kristo mu sɛ yɛbɛyɛ kronkron a mfomsoɔ biara nni yɛn ho wɔ nʼani so. Ɔfiri ɔdɔ mu
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
hyɛ too hɔ sɛ, ne pɛ mu no, ɔnam Yesu Kristo so de yɛn bɛyɛ ne mma,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
de akamfo nʼadom a ɛdɔɔso a ɔde akyɛ yɛn kwa wɔ ne Dɔ Ba no mu no.
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Ne mu na yɛnya ɔgyeɛ a ɛfiri ne mogya mu. Ne mu na yɛnya bɔnefakyɛ nso, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn adom mmorosoɔ a
8 in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
ɔde nyansa ne nteaseɛ nyinaa hwie guu yɛn so no teɛ.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
Onyankopɔn nam deɛ Kristo yɛeɛ no so ada nʼanwanwa kwan no adi akyerɛ yɛn sɛ,
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
ɛberɛ a wahyɛ no, ɔbɛboaboa abɔdeɛ nyinaa ano, deɛ ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne deɛ ɛwɔ asase so ahyɛ ɔbaako a ɔne Kristo no ase.
11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
Onyankopɔn yɛ deɛ ɔpɛ ɛberɛ biara. Ɛno enti na ɔnam Kristo so paw yɛn firii ewiase ahyɛaseɛ,
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛn a yɛdii ɛkan nyaa anidasoɔ wɔ Kristo mu no bɛyɛ nkamfo ahyɛ no animuonyam.
13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
Saa ara na ɛte wɔ mo ho nso. Ɛberɛ a motee nokwasɛm a ɛyɛ Asɛmpa a ɛmaa mo nkwagyeɛ no, mogyee Kristo diiɛ. Wɔde bɔhyɛ Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ mo nso wɔ ne mu.
14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Honhom no ma yɛn awerɛhyɛmu sɛ wɔde deɛ Onyankopɔn de asie ama ne nkurɔfoɔ no bɛma yɛn. Afei, yɛbɛde yɛn ho na wɔbɛkamfo Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no animuonyam.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
Esiane yei enti, ɛfiri ɛberɛ a metee gyidie a mowɔ wɔ Awurade Yesu mu ne ɔdɔ a modɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ no,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
mennyaee aseda a meda Onyankopɔn ma mo no da. Mekae mo wɔ me mpaeɛbɔ mu,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
na mebisa yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam Agya no sɛ, ɔmma mo Honhom Kronkron no a ɔbɛma mo nyansa na wada Onyankopɔn adi akyerɛ mo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛhunu no.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Mesrɛ sɛ mo adwene mu mmue na monhunu ne hann no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya anidasoɔ a ɛno enti ɔfrɛɛ mo no ne ahonya a ɛwɔ agyapadeɛ kronkron a ɛwɔ hɔ ma ahotefoɔ no,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
ne ne tumi a ɛso na biribiara ne no nsɛ ma yɛn a yɛgye die no. Ɛyɛ saa tumi nwanwasoɔ no ara na ɔdaa no adi
20 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
ɛberɛ a ɔnyanee Kristo firii awufoɔ mu na ɔde no tenaa ne nifa so wɔ ɔsoro ahemman no mu no.
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn )
Saa tumi yi korɔn sene mpaninnie ne tumidie, ahoɔden ne kɛseyɛ, ne diberɛ biara a wɔtumi de ma saa ɛberɛ yi ne ɛberɛ a ɛbɛba no mu. (aiōn )
22 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
Onyankopɔn de biribiara hyɛɛ Kristo nan ase, na ɔde no ayɛ nneɛma nyinaa ti ama asafo no,
23 which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
a ɛne ne onipadua. Ɔno ne deɛ ɔhyɛ adeɛ nyinaa ma wɔ akwan nyinaa mu.
