Pāvila Vēstule Efeziešiem 1
1 Pāvils, caur Dieva prātu Jēzus Kristus apustulis, tiem svētiem, kas ir Efesū un ir ticīgi iekš Kristus Jēzus:
I, Paul, am an apostle whom God appointed (to represent/to proclaim the message about) Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. [I am writing this letter] to you who are the people of God in Ephesus [city. You are people who] (faithfully/continue to) trust in Christ Jesus and who have a close relationship with him.
2 Žēlastība lai ir jums un miers no Dieva, mūsu Tēva, un no Tā Kunga Jēzus Kristus.
[I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to have [inner] peace.
3 Slavēts lai ir mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus Dievs un Tēvs, kas mūs ir svētījis ar visādu garīgu svētību iekš debešķīgām dāvanām caur Kristu;
Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of our relationship with Christ, he has blessed us spiritually in every way by giving us blessings that come from heaven.
4 Tā kā Viņš mūs iekš Tā izredzējis priekš pasaules radīšanas, ka mēs būtu svēti un bezvainīgi Viņa priekšā iekš mīlestības;
Before God created the world, he chose us to be his people because of our (relationship with/union with) Christ, in order that [God could consider] us to be completely holy [DOU]. Because [God] loves [us],
5 Tas mums papriekš ir nodomājis to bērnu tiesu caur Jēzu Kristu pie Sevis paša pēc Sava prāta labpatikšanas,
he decided long ago that he would adopt us to be [as though we were] his own children because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. He decided to do that because it pleased him to do that.
6 Par slavu Savai godājamai žēlastībai, caur ko Viņš mūs ir darījis patīkamus iekš Tā Mīļotā.
He did it in order that we would praise him for acting very kindly toward us in a wonderful way that we did not deserve. He did it because of our relationship with his beloved Son {[one, who is also God, whom he] loves}.
7 Iekš Tā mums ir atpestīšana caur Viņa asinīm, grēku piedošana, pēc Viņa bagātās žēlastības
When the blood of Christ [flowed when he died] [MTY], [it was as though] he paid a price to free/save us [from the guilt of our sins]. [That] ([provided a way/made it possible]) [for] God to act very kindly toward us to forgive us for having sinned.
8 Ko Viņš mums papilnam parādījis iekš visas gudrības un saprašanas.
He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
9 Un pēc Savas labpatikšanas Viņš mums ir darījis zināmu Sava prāta noslēpumu, ko Viņš apņēmies Pats pie Sevis,
He has enabled us to know the things that he had planned secretly (OR, that he had not revealed to anyone yet). He did that because he wanted to do that, and because he planned to do that by means of the things Christ would do.
10 Visu valdīt uz laiku piepildīšanu, ka visas lietas iekš Kristus kā apakš vienas galvas taptu savienotas, gan tās debesīs, gan tās virs zemes,
God planned that at the time that [he appointed], he would unite all things/beings in heaven and all things/beings on earth (OR, all beings in heaven and all things on earth), and cause Christ to be the one who will rule them [MET].
11 Iekš Viņa, caur ko mēs arīdzan tapuši mantinieki, izredzēti pēc Viņa apņemšanās, kas visas lietas spēcīgi padara pēc Sava prāta padoma;
Because of our close relationship with Christ, God has also chosen us [(inc)] (OR, us [(exc)] Jews) to receive what he has promised [to give] us. He decided long ago to do that. It was exactly what he planned. He accomplishes everything exactly as he plans and desires,
12 Ka Viņa godībai būtu par slavu mēs, kas papriekš uz Kristu cerējuši.
in order that we(exc) Jews, who confidently expected the Messiah to do great things for us before the non-Jews expected such things (OR, we [(inc)] who were already confidently expecting Christ [to do great things for us]) will praise him for his greatness.
13 Caur To arī jūs esat dzirdējuši to patiesības vārdu, savas pestīšanas evaņģēliju, iekš Viņa arī jūs pie ticības nākuši, esat apzieģelēti ar to apsolīšanas Svēto Garu,
You [Ephesians] also heard the true message, the good message about how God saves you. [People] put their seal on something to show that [it belongs to them]. Similarly, when you believed [in Christ], God [showed that you also belong to him by sending you] the Holy Spirit as he promised to do [MET].
14 Kas ir mūsu mantošanas ķīla, ka Viņš pestīs Savus ļaudis Savai godībai par slavu.
The Holy Spirit is [like] [MET] a (deposit/down payment). That is, he (guarantees/assures us) that [we will receive] all that God has promised to give us, at the time when God will give to those who belong to him [MET] everything that [Christ] freed us to receive. [God also assures you that you belong to him], in order that you would praise him for his greatness.
15 Tādēļ arīdzan, kad dzirdēju par jūsu ticību iekš Tā Kunga Jēzus un par to mīlestību uz visiem svētiem,
Because of [what God has done for you], and because [people] told me that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus and that you love all those who belong to God,
16 Tad es nemitējos par jums pateikties, jūs pieminēdams savās lūgšanās,
I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
17 Ka mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus Dievs, Tas godības Tēvs, jums dotu gudrības un parādīšanas Garu iekš Viņa atzīšanas,
[I pray] that God, who is the glorious/wonderful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may cause his Spirit to make you wise, and that his Spirit will reveal [God to you] so that you may fully know him.
18 Apgaismotas prāta acis, ka jūs varat atzīt, kāda ir Viņa aicināšanas cerība, un cik bagāta Viņa mantojama godība pie tiem svētiem,
And I pray that God would enable you to understand [MTY] his truth, in order that in your (inner beings/hearts) you may know the things that we believers should confidently expect to receive because he chose us [to be his people]. And I pray that you will know how God will bless his people in a very wonderful way [when we finally receive] all that he has promised to give us.
19 Un kāds Viņa spēka pārlieku augstais lielums pie mums, kas ticam, pēc Viņa varenā un spēcīgā darba,
And [I pray that] you will know how very powerfully [God helps] us who continue to trust [in Christ]. He works powerfully for us
20 Ko tas padarījis iekš Kristus, Viņu uzmodinādams no miroņiem, un Viņu sēdinādams pie Savas labās rokas debesīs,
just like he acted powerfully for Christ when he caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and put him in the place of highest/greatest honor [MTY] in heaven.
21 Pāri par ikkatru virsniecību un valdību un spēku un kundzību un ikkatru vārdu, kas top dēvēts ne vien šinī laikā bet arī nākamā. (aiōn g165)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
22 Un Tas ir padevis visas lietas apakš Viņa kājām, un Viņu visās lietās devis par galvu tai draudzei,
God has caused all beings to be subject to Christ [MTY], and he has also appointed Christ, who rules over all things, to rule [MET] over all believers.
23 Kas ir Viņa miesa un Tā pilnums, kas visur visu piepilda.
We believers [relate to Christ like the parts of a person’s] body [MET] [relate to its head]. Christ uses all [his power among us] just like he uses his power throughout the whole universe.
