Efèz 1
1 Paul yon apot Jésus Kri pa volonte a Bondye, a sen ki an Éphèse yo ki fidèl nan Jésus Kri:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Lagras pou nou ak lapè ki soti nan Bondye, Papa nou, ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri.
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Beni se Bondye, Papa Senyè nou an Jésus Kri, ki te beni nou avèk tout benediksyon Lespri a nan lye selès an Kris yo.
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
4 Jis jan Li te chwazi nou nan Li, menm avan fondasyon mond lan, pou nou ta kapab sen e san fot devan Li. Nan lanmou Li,
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 li te chwazi nou oparavan pou adopsyon kòm fis Li, atravè Jésus Kri, selon dous entansyon a volonte Li.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Pou lwanj a glwa a gras Li a, ke Li te bannou ak liberalite nan Li menm Ki Byeneme a.
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 Nan Li nou gen redanmsyon pa san Li, padon pou transgresyon nou yo selon richès a gras Li,
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 ke Li te vide sou nou. Nan tout sajès ak konesans,
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 li te fè nou konnen mistè a volonte Li, selon dous entansyon Li; sa ke li te deja planifye nan Li menm nan,
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 avèk yon plan pou fè sa dewoule lè tan an fin akonpli, pou reyini tout bagay nan Kris la, bagay nan syèl yo ak bagay sou latè yo. Nan Li menm
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
11 nou vin genyen yon eritaj osi, ki te chwazi oparavan selon plan pa L. Se konsa, Li fè tout bagay mache selon konsèy volonte pa Li,
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 afenke nou menm ki te premye espere nan Kris la, ta kapab sèvi kòm lwanj a glwa Li.
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 Nan Li menm, nou tout osi, lè nou fin tande mesaj Verite a, Levanjil Sali a; akoz nou menm tou te kwè, nou te sele nan Li menm avèk Lespri Sen a pwomès la,
In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 ki bay a nou menm kòm yon pwomès eritaj nou an, avèk plan redanmsyon a sila ki vrèman pou Bondye yo, pou lwanj a glwa Li.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Pou rezon sa a, mwen menm tou lè mwen te tande de lafwa nan Senyè a Jésus Kri nou an, ki egziste pami nou ak lanmou nou pou tout sen yo,
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 m pa janm sispann bay remèsiman pou nou menm, pandan m ap nonmen non nou nan lapriyè
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 ke Bondye a Senyè nou an Jésus Kri, Papa laglwa a, kapab bannou yon lespri sajès ak revelasyon nan konesans a Li menm.
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 M priye pou zye a kè nou kapab klere, pou nou kapab konnen kisa ki esperans apèl Li a, ak sa ki richès laglwa eritaj Li a pami sen yo.
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 Epi sa ki se grandè san parèy a pouvwa Li anvè nou menm ki kwè yo, selon travay de fòs pouvwa Li a.
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Se travay sa a ke Li te fè rive an Kris la lè Li te leve li soti nan lanmò a pou te fè L chita sou bò dwat Li nan lye selès yo,
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 pi wo anpil pase tout gouvènans yo, tout otorite, tout pouvwa, tout wayòm, ak tout non ki nonmen, non sèlman nan tan sila a, men nan tan k ap vini an. (aiōn g165)
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 Epi Li te mete tout bagay an soumisyon anba pye Jésus, e te fè Li tèt sou tout bagay a legliz la,
And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
23 ki se kò Li, yon prezantasyon konplè de Li menm ki konplete tout bagay nèt.
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
