Efesiana 1
1 I Paoly, Firàhe’ Iesoà Norizañey ty amy satrin’ Añahare. Ho amo noro’e Efesosy añe naho migahiñe am’ Iesoà Norizañeio.
Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God: To God's people who are in Ephesus--believers in Christ Jesus.
2 Hasoa ama’ areo naho Fañanintsiñe boak’ aman’ Añahare Raentika naho Iesoà Talè Norizañey.
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Andriañeñe t’i Andrianañahare naho Rae’ i Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, i mitahy antika amy Norizañey amy ze hene falalàn’ arofo andindìñe ao,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
4 ie nijoboñe’e ho ama’e taolo’ o mananta’ ty voatse toio, am-pikokoañe ho masiñe tsy aman-kakeo añatrefa’e,
even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.
5 ie nisafiry haehae ho antika te ho beize’e ho ana’e añam’ Iesoà Norizañey, ty amy hasoam-pisafiria’ey.
For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ--such being His gracious will and pleasure--
6 Ho fandrengeañe ty volonahem-patarihañe nañisoha’e antika amy Ikokoañey.
to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.
7 Ama’e ty fañeferañe antika amy lio’ey, ty fañahan-kakeo ty amy hasoam-pañisoha’e
It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace,
8 nampitoabore’e aman-tika an-kaliforan-kihitse naho faharofoanañe,
the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,
9 ie nampahafohine’e i safiry nisatrie’e añ’etake ao,
when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose
10 ze ho henefe’e an-tsà añoñe: ty fanontonañe amy Norizañey ze he’e andindìñe añe naho an-tane atoy.
for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.
11 Ie ka ty nahazoan-tika lova—itika nijoboñeñe haehae ami’ty fandrefea’ i mañeneke ze he’e ami’ty ereñeren-tsatrin’ arofo’ey,
In Him we Jews have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will,
12 soa te ho fandrengeañe i asi’ey tika nitamà i Norizañey valoha’e.
so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ.
13 Ama’e ao ka nahareo ie jinanji’ areo ty tsaran-katò, i talili-soa nandrombahañe anahareoy, ie niatoa’ areo ro vinoli-fitomboke amy Arofo Masiñe nampitamaeñey;
And in Him you Gentiles also, after listening to the Message of the truth, the Good News of your salvation--having believed in Him--were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit;
14 i natolotse ho tsoa’ i lovantikañeiy ampara’ ty fijebañañe o azeo, ho ami’ty fandrengeañe mañeva i asi’ey.
that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption--the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.
15 Aa izaho ka, ie tsinanoko ty fatokisañe Iesoà Talè ama’ areo, naho ty fikokoa’ areo o noro’e iabio,
For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,
16 le tsy adoko ty fañandriañañe ty ama’ areo, ie toñonako an-kalàliko
offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.
17 te ho toloran’ Añaharen-Talèntika Iesoà Norizañey, i Raem-bolonahetsey, ty Arofon-kihihitse naho famentabentarañe hahafohinañe aze,
For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,
18 naho te ho hazavaeñe o fihainon’ arofo’ areoo, hahafohina’ areo i fampitamàñe nikanjiañe anahareoy, naho ty vara aman’ enge’ i lova’e amo noro’eoy,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,
19 vaho ty hajabahinan-kaozara’e amantika mpiato, ty amy fitoloña’ i hafatraran-kaozara’e
and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might
20 nifanehafa’e amy Norizañeiy, ie vinaño’e an-kavilasy vaho nampiambesare’e am-pitàn-kavana’e andindìñe ao,
when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,
21 ambone andikera’ ze hene lily naho haozarañe naho fifeheañe vaho ze kila tahinañe toñoneñe, tsy ami’ty sa toy avao, fa amy ho aviy ka. (aiōn g165)
high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Mbore napo’e ambanem-pandia’e ao ze he’e, vaho natolo’e aze ty ho lohà’ ze halifora’e amo Fivorio —
God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,
23 i fañòva’ey, ty hahenefa’ i mañatseke ze he’e an-kalifora’ey.
the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.
