< 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 emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah Yeshua:
2 Lagras pou nou ak lapè ki soti nan Bondye, Papa nou, ak Senyè a, Jésus Kri.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
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 Yeshua the Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah,
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,
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,
5 li te chwazi nou oparavan pou adopsyon kòm fis Li, atravè Jésus Kri, selon dous entansyon a volonte Li.
having predestined us for adoption as children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
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, by which he freely gave us favour in the Beloved.
7 Nan Li nou gen redanmsyon pa san Li, padon pou transgresyon nou yo selon richès a gras Li,
In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 ke Li te vide sou nou. Nan tout sajès ak konesans,
which he made to abound towards 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,
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
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
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, 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,
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,
12 afenke nou menm ki te premye espere nan Kris la, ta kapab sèvi kòm lwanj a glwa Li.
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah.
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 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,
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.
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to 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,
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is amongst you and the love which you have towards all the holy ones,
16 m pa janm sispann bay remèsiman pou nou menm, pandan m ap nonmen non nou nan lapriyè
don’t cease 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 Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a 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.
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 holy ones,
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 towards us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
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 worked in Messiah when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his 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 )
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 )
22 Epi Li te mete tout bagay an soumisyon anba pye Jésus, e te fè Li tèt sou tout bagay a legliz la,
He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
23 ki se kò Li, yon prezantasyon konplè de Li menm ki konplete tout bagay nèt.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
