Afisawa 1
1 Bulus, wanda Allah ya zaɓa don yă zama manzon Kiristi Yesu, Zuwa ga tsarkaka da suke a Afisa, da kuma suke amintattu cikin Kiristi Yesu.
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the purpose of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and those who have faith in Christ Jesus:
2 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Yabo ya tabbata ga Allah Uban Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi, wanda ya kawo mana kowace albarka ta ruhaniya daga sama.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:
4 Gama ya zaɓe mu a cikin Kiristi tun dā can, kafin ma a halicci duniya don mu zama masu tsarki da kuma marasa aibi a gabansa.
Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:
5 A cikin ƙauna, ya ƙaddara mu zama’ya’yansa na riƙo ta wurin Kiristi Yesu, bisa ga nufinsa na alheri.
As we were designed before by him for the position of sons to himself, through Jesus Christ, in the good pleasure of his purpose,
6 Ya yi haka don mu yabi Allah saboda alherin da ya yi mana saboda mu na ƙaunataccen Ɗansa ne.
To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:
7 A cikinsa muka sami fansa ta wurin jininsa, wato, yafewar zunubanmu. Kiristi ya yi wannan saboda yawan alherin Allah
In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,
8 wanda ya ba mu babu iyaka tare da dukan hikima da fahimta.
Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;
9 Allah ya yi abin da ya nufa, ya kuma sanar mana shirin asirin da ya riga ya shirya yă cika ta wurin Kiristi.
Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands
10 Nufinsa ke nan, idan lokaci ya cika, yă harhaɗa dukan abubuwa a ƙarƙashin ikon Kiristi, wato, dukan abubuwan da suke sama da abubuwan da suke ƙasa.
The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,
11 A cikinsa ne kuma aka zaɓe mu mu sami gādo daga Allah, an kuwa ƙaddara mu ga haka bisa ga nufin wannan da yake zartar da dukan abubuwa yadda ya yi nufi yă yi.
In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;
12 Manufar Allah ita ce cewa mu da muka fara sa bege a cikin Kiristi, mu yi zaman yabon ɗaukakar Allah.
So that his glory might have praise through us who first had hope in Christ:
13 An kuma haɗa ku a cikin Kiristi lokacin da kuka ji saƙon nan na gaskiya, wanda yake labari mai daɗi na cetonku. Da kuka ba da gaskiya, sai aka yi muku alamar shaida a cikinsa da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
In whom you, having been given the true word, the good news of your salvation, and through your faith in him, were given the sign of the Holy Spirit of hope,
14 Ruhu Mai Tsarkin nan shi ne tabbacin da Allah ya yi na cewa zai ba mu kome da ya yi alkawari, har ya sa muka sani nan gaba Allah zai ceci waɗanda suke nasa. Wannan kuwa domin yabon ɗaukakarsa ne.
Which is the first-fruit of our heritage, till God gets back that which is his, to the praise of his glory.
15 Saboda haka, tun lokacin da na ji labarin bangaskiyarku cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunar da kuke yi wa dukan mutanen Allah,
For this cause I, having had news of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and which you make clear to all the saints,
16 ban fasa yin godiya saboda ku ba, ina tuna da ku cikin addu’o’ina.
Give praise without end for you, keeping you in mind in my prayers;
17 Ina ta roƙo cewa Allah na Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi, Uba Maɗaukaki, yă ba ku Ruhun hikima da na ganewa, domin ku san shi da kyau.
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;
18 Ina kuma addu’a cewa zuciyarku tă waye don ku gane ko mene ne sa zuciyan nan da ya kira ku a kansa, ku kuma san darajar dukiyan nan wadda take ta mutanen Allah, wato, albarkunsa.
And that having the eyes of your heart full of light, you may have knowledge of what is the hope of his purpose, what is the wealth of the glory of his heritage in the saints,
19 Ina addu’a ku san girman ikon Allah wanda ya wuce misali, wanda yake namu. Ikon da yake aiki a cikinmu, ɗaya ne da ikon nan
And how unlimited is his power to us who have faith, as is seen in the working of the strength of his power,
20 da ya tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ya kuma sa ya zauna a hannun damansa a cikin mulkin samaniya.
By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,
21 Yanzu yana mulki a kan dukan masu sarauta, da masu iko, da masu ƙarfi, da kuma masu mulki. Yana mulkin kome a wannan duniya, zai kuma yi mulkin duniya mai zuwa. (aiōn g165)
Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 Allah ya sa kome a ƙarƙashin ikonsa, ya kuma ba shi iko a kan kome don amfanin ikkilisiya.
And he has put all things under his feet, and has made him to be head over all things to the church,
23 Kuma ikkilisiya ce jikinsa; ta kuma cika da Kiristi, wanda ya cika kome ta kowace hanya.
Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.
