Efesiana 1
1 Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, mamangy ny olona masìna any Efesosy, izay mahatoky ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Izay nitahy antsika tao amin’ i Kristy amin’ ny fitahiam-panahy rehetra any an-danitra,
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
4 araka ny nifidianany antsika tao aminy, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan’ izao tontolo izao, mba ho masìna sady tsy misy tsiny eo anatrehany isika,
according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5 rehefa notendreny rahateo amin’ ny fitiavana isika mba ho Azy amin’ ny fananganan’ anaka amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy, araka izay ankasitrahan’ ny fony,
having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 ho fiderana ny voninahitry ny fahasoavany, izay nanasoavany antsika maimaimpoana ao amin’ ny Malala.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
7 Izy no ananantsika fanavotana amin’ ny ràny, dia ny famelana ny fahadisoantsika, araka ny haren’ ny fahasoavany,
in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8 izay nataony be ho antsika tamin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fisainana rehetra,
in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 rehefa nampahafantariny ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny sitrapony isika, araka ny safidiny izay nokasain’ ny tenany,
having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
10 hahatanterahany ny fitondrana hatao mandra-pahatapitry ny andro voatendry, hanangonany ny zavatra rehetra ho iray ao amin’ i Kristy, na ny any an-danitra, na ny etỳ an-tany, dia ho ao aminy;
in regard to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth—in Him;
11 ao aminy koa no nanaovana antsika ho lovany, rehefa notendrena rahateo isika araka ny fikasan’ izay mahefa ny zavatra rehetra araka ny ankasitrahan’ ny fony,
in whom also we obtained an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who is working all things according to the counsel of His will,
12 mba ho fiderana ny voninahiny izahay, izay nanantena an’ i Kristy rahateo.
for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
13 Ao aminy koa ianareo, rehefa renareo ny tenin’ ny fahamarinana, dia ny filazantsara famonjena anareo, ― eny, ao aminy koa ianareo, rehefa nino, no nasiana tombo-kase tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna araka ny teny fikasana.
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth—the good news of your salvation—in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 Izany Fanahy izany no santatry ny lovantsika ho amin’ ny fanavotana ny olona izay nahiny ho an’ ny tenany, ho fiderana ny voninahiny.
which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Ary noho izany izaho koa, rehefa nandre ny finoanareo an’ i Jesosy Tompo izay hitan’ ny olona masìna rehetra,
Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
16 dia tsy mitsahatra misaotra noho ny aminareo ka mahatsiaro anareo amin’ ny fivavahako,
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 mba homen’ Andriamanitr’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain’ ny voninahitra, ho anareo ny fanahin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fanambarana amin’ ny fahalalana Azy tsara,
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 ary mba hampahiratina ny mason’ ny sainareo, mba ho fantatrareo izay fanantenana avy amin’ ny fiantsoany sy izay haren’ ny voninahitry ny lovany eo amin’ ny olona masìna,
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 holy ones,
19 ary ny fihoaran’ ny halehiben’ ny heriny ho antsika izay mino, araka ny fiàsan’ ny herin’ ny faherezany,
and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 izay nataony tao amin’ i Kristy tamin’ ny nananganany Azy tamin’ ny maty sy ny nampitoerany Azy eo amin’ ny tànany ankavanana any an-danitra,
which He worked in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and sat [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 ambony lavitra noho ny fanapahana rehetra sy ny fahefana sy ny hery sy ny fanjakana ary ny anarana rehetra izay tononina, tsy amin’ izao fiainana izao ihany, fa amin’ ny ho avy koa, (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 dia nampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony Izy ka nanao Azy ho Lohany manapaka ny zavatra rehetra ho an’ ny fiangonana,
and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
23 izay tenany, dia ny fahafenoan’ izay mameno izao zavatra rehetra izao amin’ ny rehetra.
which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
