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 through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful 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.
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places 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.
according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished 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 foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to 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 the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted 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 the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8 wanda ya ba mu babu iyaka tare da dukan hikima da fahimta.
in which He did abound toward us in all 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, that He 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.
in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
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 also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
12 Manufar Allah ita ce cewa mu da muka fara sa bege a cikin Kiristi, mu yi zaman yabon ɗaukakar Allah.
for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the 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, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the 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.
which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired 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,
Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
16 ban fasa yin godiya saboda ku ba, ina tuna da ku cikin addu’o’ina.
do not cease giving 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 the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition 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.
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of 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 to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 da ya tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ya kuma sa ya zauna a hannun damansa a cikin mulkin samaniya.
which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the 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 authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
22 Allah ya sa kome a ƙarƙashin ikonsa, ya kuma ba shi iko a kan kome don amfanin ikkilisiya.
and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
23 Kuma ikkilisiya ce jikinsa; ta kuma cika da Kiristi, wanda ya cika kome ta kowace hanya.
which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
