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 all the saints who are at 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 and peace to you from God the Father, and from 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 be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, 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,
just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy and immaculate in his sight, in charity.
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,
He has predestined us to adoption as sons, through Jesus Christ, in himself, according to the purpose of his will,
6 ho fiderana ny voninahitry ny fahasoavany, izay nanasoavany antsika maimaimpoana ao amin’ ny Malala.
for the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he has gifted us in his beloved Son.
7 Izy no ananantsika fanavotana amin’ ny ràny, dia ny famelana ny fahadisoantsika, araka ny haren’ ny fahasoavany,
In him, we have redemption through his blood: the remission of sins in accord with the riches of his grace,
8 izay nataony be ho antsika tamin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fisainana rehetra,
which is superabundant in us, with all wisdom and prudence.
9 rehefa nampahafantariny ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny sitrapony isika, araka ny safidiny izay nokasain’ ny tenany,
So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,
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 the dispensation of the fullness of time, so as to renew in Christ everything that exists through him in heaven and on earth.
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 him, we too are called to our portion, having been predestined in accord with the plan of the One who accomplishes all things by the counsel of his will.
12 mba ho fiderana ny voninahiny izahay, izay nanantena an’ i Kristy rahateo.
So may we be, to the praise of his glory, we who have hoped beforehand in 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 him, you also, after you heard and believed the Word of truth, which is the Gospel of your salvation, 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.
He is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the acquisition of redemption, 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, and hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love toward all the saints,
16 dia tsy mitsahatra misaotra noho ny aminareo ka mahatsiaro anareo amin’ ny fivavahako,
I have not ceased giving thanks for you, calling you to mind 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,
so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give a spirit of wisdom and of revelation to you, in knowledge 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,
May the eyes of your heart be illuminated, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and the wealth of the glory of his inheritance with the saints,
19 ary ny fihoaran’ ny halehiben’ ny heriny ho antsika izay mino, araka ny fiàsan’ ny herin’ ny faherezany,
and the preeminent magnitude of his virtue toward us, toward we who believe in accord with the work of his powerful virtue,
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 wrought in Christ, raising him from the dead and establishing him at his right hand in the heavens,
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)
above every principality and power and virtue and dominion, and above every name that is given, not only in this age, but even in the future age. (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 has subjected all things under his feet, and he has made him the head over the entire Church,
23 izay tenany, dia ny fahafenoan’ izay mameno izao zavatra rehetra izao amin’ ny rehetra.
which is his body and which is the fullness of him who accomplishes everything in everyone.
