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 Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the faithful in Christ Jesus;
2 Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Yabo ya tabbata ga Allah Uban Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi, wanda ya kawo mana kowace albarka ta ruhaniya daga sama.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by 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.
according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable 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.
having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;
6 Ya yi haka don mu yabi Allah saboda alherin da ya yi mana saboda mu na ƙaunataccen Ɗansa ne.
to the praise of his glorious grace, whereby He hath made us acceptable in the Beloved:
7 A cikinsa muka sami fansa ta wurin jininsa, wato, yafewar zunubanmu. Kiristi ya yi wannan saboda yawan alherin Allah
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 wanda ya ba mu babu iyaka tare da dukan hikima da fahimta.
wherein He hath abounded towards us with the highest wisdom and prudence;
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 known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:
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.
that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:
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.
even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated to it according to the purpose of Him who effecteth all things after the counsel of His own will:
12 Manufar Allah ita ce cewa mu da muka fara sa bege a cikin Kiristi, mu yi zaman yabon ɗaukakar Allah.
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted 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 ye also trusted, when ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also when ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
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.
who is the pledge of our inheritance, till the redemption of his purchased possession, 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,
Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
16 ban fasa yin godiya saboda ku ba, ina tuna da ku cikin addu’o’ina.
and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you 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, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to 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 enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance 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 what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength;
20 da ya tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ya kuma sa ya zauna a hannun damansa a cikin mulkin samaniya.
which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
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 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 Allah ya sa kome a ƙarƙashin ikonsa, ya kuma ba shi iko a kan kome don amfanin ikkilisiya.
and hath put all things under his feet, and given 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 complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.
