Efèz 1
1 Mwen menm, Pòl, yon moun Bondye te deside chwazi pou apòt Jezikri, m'ap ekri lèt sa a voye bay tout pèp Bondye ki nan lavil Efèz la, k'ap kenbe fèm nan lavi y'ap mennen ansanm nan Jezikri.
Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus:
2 Mwen mande Bondye Papa nou ansanm ak Jezikri, Seyè nou, pou yo ban nou benediksyon ak kè poze.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3 Lwanj pou Bondye, Papa Jezikri, Seyè nou an. Se li menm ki beni nou nan lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la. Li ban nou tout kalite benediksyon pou nou ka viv dapre egzijans Lespri Bondye nan syèl la.
Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ,
4 Byen lontan anvan Bondye te kreye lemonn, li te chwazi nou nan Kris la pou nou te kapab viv apa pou li, pou n' te san repwòch devan li. Nan renmen li renmen nou an,
As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:
5 Bondye te deside depi davans pou l' te adopte nou pou pitit li nan Jezikri, paske sa te fè l' plezi.
Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Se poutèt sa, ann toujou fè lwanj Bondye pou bèl favè sa a li fè nou kado, gremesi Pitit li renmen anpil la!
To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
7 Gremesi Kris ki mouri pou nou an, nou delivre, nou resevwa padon pou peche nou yo; Bondye fè nou wè jan li renmen nou anpil.
By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
8 Li ban nou favè l' an kantite, li ban nou tout kalite konprann ak konesans.
Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
9 Li fè nou konnen plan travay li te kenbe sekrè nan kè l', plan travay li te gen lide fè depi lontan an. Se plan sa a li vin reyalize nan Kris la.
And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
10 Dapre plan travay Bondye a, plan ki gen pou fin reyalize nèt lè lè a va rive, Bondye ap mete tout bagay ki nan syèl la ansanm ak tout bagay ki sou latè a anba yon sèl chèf, anba Kris la.
That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:
11 Bondye ap fè tout bagay rive jan l' te deside l' la ak jan l' te vle l' la. Konsa, nou menm jwif, nou se moun Bondye te chwazi depi davans dapre plan li. Lè n'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la, nou resevwa pòsyon pa nou nan byen l' yo.
In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,
12 Se sak fè, nou menm ki premye moun ki t'ap tann Kris la, n'ap viv yon jan ki sèvi yon lwanj pou pouvwa Bondye a.
That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
13 Konsa tou, nou menm, moun lòt nasyon yo, apre nou te fin tande mesaj laverite a, ki vle di bon nouvèl k'ap fè nou konnen jan Bondye delivre nou an, nou te mete konfyans nou nan Kris la, n'ap viv ansanm nan Kris la tou. Bondye te make nou ak letanp li tou, li ban nou Sentespri li te pwòmèt la.
In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise,
14 Sentespri sa a, se yon avalwa Bondye ban nou sou eritaj li te pwòmèt li t'ap bay pèp li a. Sa ban nou garanti Bondye gen pou fin delivre moun pa l' yo nèt. Se sak fè, nou menm tou, moun lòt nasyon yo, n'ap sèvi yon lwanj pou pouvwa Bondye a tou.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.
15 Se poutèt tout bagay sa yo, depi mwen tande jan nou gen konfyans nan Kris la, jan nou renmen tout moun ki fè pati pèp Bondye a,
Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints,
16 mwen pa janm sispann di Bondye mèsi pou nou. Mwen toujou chonje nou lè m'ap lapriyè.
I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Bondye Jezikri, Seyè nou an, fè nou konnen an, se yon papa ki gen anpil pouvwa. Mwen mande l' pou li ban nou Sentespri l' ki bay bon konprann ki moutre nou sa Bondye ap devwale nou an pou nou ka rive konnen l' byen.
That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ, that Father of glory, might giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome, and reuelation through the acknowledging of him,
18 Mwen mande l' pou l' louvri lespri nou, pou nou ka konnen kisa n'ap tann nan men Bondye ki rele nou an, ki vle di eritaj Bondye pwòmèt l'ap bay moun ki pou li yo, yon eritaj ki rich anpil, ki bèl anpil.
That the eyes of your vnderstanding may be lightened, that ye may knowe what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in the Saints,
19 Mwen mande l' pou nou ka konnen tou ki jan pouvwa li k'ap travay nan nou menm ki kwè nan li a, se yon gwo pouvwa ki san limit. Se menm gwo pouvwa sa a Bondye te fè moun wè,
And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power,
20 lè li te fè Kris la leve soti vivan nan mitan mò yo, li fè l' chita sou bò dwat li nan syèl la.
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places,
21 Li mete Kris la anwo tout chèf, anwo tout otorite, tout pouvwa ak tout dominasyon. Kris la pi wo pase tout gwo non yo kapab bay moun non sèlman koulye a sou latè, men nan tan ki gen pou vini an tou. (aiōn g165)
Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, (aiōn g165)
22 Bondye mete tout bagay anba pye Kris la, li mete l' pou l' sèl chèf legliz la.
And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church,
23 Legliz la se kò Kris la, li konplete Kris la. Kris la menm, avèk pouvwa li, li konplete tout bagay ki toupatou.
Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
