Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the one having blessed us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ:

as he elected us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in his presence.
5 A cikin ƙauna, ya ƙaddara mu zama’ya’yansa na riƙo ta wurin Kiristi Yesu, bisa ga nufinsa na alheri.

in the economy of the fulness of the times, to rehead all things in Christ, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth; in him,

in whom we were also chosen by lot, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things within us according to 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 unto the praise of his glory, who first exercised 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 order that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may grant unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the perfect knowledge of himself;

which he has wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead, and seating him on his right hand in the heavenlies,
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)
above all government, and authority, and power, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but in the age to come: (aiōn g165)
22 Allah ya sa kome a ƙarƙashin ikonsa, ya kuma ba shi iko a kan kome don amfanin ikkilisiya.
and has subordinated all things beneath 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 fulness of him who fills all things in all.
