Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Messiah Jesus:
2 Bari alheri ya kasance da ku, da salama daga wurin Allah Ubanmu da Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah;
4 Kafin halitar duniya, Allah ya zabe mu da muka ba da gaskiya cikin Yesu. Ya zabe mu domin mu yi zaman tsarki da rayuwar da babu aibu a gabansa.
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
5 Cikin kauna Allah ya kaddara ya dauke mu mu zama yayansa ta wurin Yesu almasihu. Ya yi wannan domin ya gamshe shi ya yi abin da ya ke so.
having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus (the) Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 Sakamakon shine Allah ya karbi yabo domin daukakan alherinsa. Wannan shine abinda ya ba mu hannu sake ta wurin kaunataccensa.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 Allah ya bayyana mana gaskiyar al'amarin da aka boye na shirinsa, ta wurin abin da yake so ya nuna cikin Almasihu.
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 Idan lokaci ya yi na kammala shirinsa, Allah zai kawo dukan abubuwan da ke sama da kasa cikin Yesu.
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 An zabe mu cikin Almasihu mu zama abin gado na Allah. Ya yi mana wannan shirin tun da cikin shirin sa, shi mai yin dukan abu ta dalilin nufinsa.
in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
12 Allah ya yi haka saboda mu rayu domin yabon daukakarsa. Mune na farko da muka sami bege cikin Almasihu.
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah:
13 A cikin Almasihu ne kuma kuka samu jin maganar gaskiya, bisharan cetonku ta wurin Yesu. A cikinsa ne kuka bada gaskiya aka hatimce ku da Ruhu Mai Tsarki wanda aka alkawarta.
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 Ruhun shine tabbacin gadonmu kafin mu kai ga samunsa. Wannan don yabon daukakarsa ne.
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Sabo da haka, tun lokacin da na ji labarin bangaskiyarku cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kaunar ku zuwa dukan wadanda aka kebe dominsa.
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,
16 Ban fasa tunawa da ku ba ina addu'a saboda ku cikin addu'o'ina.
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Ina addu'a da cewa Allah Ubangijinmu Yesu Almasihu, Uban daraja, ya ba ku ruhun basira da wahayin saninsa.
that the God of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 Ina addu'a idanun zuciyarku su bude domin ku san tabacin kiranku. Ina addu'a dominku san arzikin mulkin gadonsa cikin wadanda aka kebe dominsa.
having the eyes of your heart 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 saints,
19 Ina addu'a ku san ikon nan nasa mai girma mara iyaka da ke cikin mu da muka ba da gaskiya. Wannan girman yana ta wurin aikin karfin ikonsa ne.
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 Wannan shine ikon da ya yi aiki cikin Almasihu lokacin da Allah ya tashe shi daga matattu ya sa shi a hannun damansa cikin sammai.
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 Ya sanya shi bisa birbishin dukan sarauta, iko, mulki, karfi, da kowanne irin suna. Ya sanya Almasihu ba a wannan zamanin kadai ba, amma da zamani mai zuwa. (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Allah ya saka dukan abubuwa a karkashin kafafun Almasihu. Ya sa shi shugaban dukan abubuwa a cikin ikilisiya.
He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
