Efesoon 1
1 Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa, Gara qulqulloota Efesoon jiraatan kanneen Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanamoo taʼanitti:
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, that is, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Waaqnii fi Abbaan Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos inni Kiristoosiin eebba hafuuraa hundumaan samii irratti nu eebbise sun haa eebbifamu.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
4 Inni nu fuula isaa duratti qulqullootaa fi warra mudaa hin qabne akka taanuuf utuu addunyaan hin uumaminiin dura isaan nu filateeraatii. Jaalalaanis
just as He[F] chose us in Him[S] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him[F], in love,
5 akka kaayyoo fedhii isaatti akka nu karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin ilmaan isaa taanuuf duraan dursee nu murteesse;
having predestined us into an adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, into Him[S], according to the good pleasure of His[F] will,
6 kunis akka ulfinni ayyaana isaa kan inni Ilma isaa jaallatamaa sanaan toluma nuu kenne sun jajamuuf.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
7 Nus isumaan akkuma badhaadhummaa ayyaana Waaqaatti dhiiga isaatiin furama jechuunis, dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra;
in whom we have the redemption through His[S] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His[F] grace,
8 ayyaana isaas ogummaa fi hubannaa hunda wajjin nuu baayʼise.
that He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligent design,
9 Innis akka nu icciitii fedhii isaa kan akka yaada isaa isa gaarii inni karaa Kiristoosiin karoorfate sana beeknu godhe;
having made known to us the ‘secret’ of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him[S],
10 yaadni isaas yeroo barri murtaaʼe sun guutuutti wantoota samii keessaa fi lafa irra jiran hunda Kiristoos jalatti walitti qabuuf jedhee ti.
with a view to administering the fullness of the times, so as to bring all things together under one head in Christ—those on the heavens and those on the earth—in Him[S],
11 Nus akkuma karoora isa waan hundumaa akka kaayyoo fedhii isaatti hojjetu sanaatti duraan dursee waan murteeffamneef Kiristoosiin dhaala arganneerra;
in whom we were also assigned an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him[F] who works all things according to the decision of His will,
12 kunis akka nu warri Kiristoosin abdachuutti kanneen jalqabaa taane galata ulfina isaa taanuuf.
so that we should be to the praise of His glory, we who first trusted in the Christ;
13 Isinis dubbii dhugaa jechuunis wangeela fayyina keessanii dhageessanii Kiristoositti amantanii, Hafuura Qulqulluu waadaa galame sanaan chaappeffamtan;
about whom, to be sure, we had heard the true Word—the Gospel of your salvation; by whom, since you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 innis warri kan Waaqayyoo taʼan galata ulfina isaatiif yeroo furamanitti wanta nu argachuuf jirruuf qabdii keenya.
who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Kanaafuu ani waaʼee amantii isin Gooftaa Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdanii dhagaʼee
Because of this, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 kadhannaa koo keessatti isin yaadachaa waaʼee keessaniif galateeffachuu hin dhiifne.
I really do not stop giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 Waaqni Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos, Abbaan ulfinaa, akka isin guutummaatti isa beektaniif Hafuura ogummaa fi mulʼataa akka isinii kennu nan kadhadha.
that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself,
18 Abdiin inni itti isin waame maal akka taʼe, badhaadhummaan dhaala qulqullootaa ulfina qabeessi maal akka taʼe akka beektaniif iji qalbii keessanii akka isinii banamu Waaqa nan kadhadha;
the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know 1) what is the hope of His[F] calling, and 2) what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 akkasumas humni isaa inni nu warra amannu keessatti hojjetu hammam guddaa akka taʼe akka beektaniifis nan kadhadha. Humni sunis akkuma jabina guddaa
and 3) what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might
20 kan inni ittiin Kiristoosin warra duʼan keessaa kaasee samii irratti mirga ofii teessise sana mulʼisee dha;
which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms,
21 isas ol aantummaa, taayitaa, humna, gooftummaa hundaa fi bara ammaa qofa utuu hin taʼin bara dhufuuf jiru keessa illee maqaa kennamu hundaa olitti mirga ofii teessise. (aiōn g165)
far above every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next. (aiōn g165)
22 Waaqnis waan hunda miilla isaa jala galche; waldaa kiristaanaatiifis mataa waan hundaa godhee isa kenne;
In short, He[F] placed everything under His[S] feet, and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,
23 waldaan kiristaanaa dhagna isaa ti; isheenis guutama isaa kan inni waan hunda karaa hundaan guutuu dha.
which is His body, the complement of Him who fills everything in every way.
