Efesoon 1
1 Phaawulos isa fedhii Waaqaatiin ergamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼe irraa, Gara qulqulloota Efesoon jiraatan kanneen Kiristoos Yesuusitti amanamoo taʼanitti:
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord 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 all spiritual blessings in heavenly places 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
According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (agape)
5 akka kaayyoo fedhii isaatti akka nu karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin ilmaan isaa taanuuf duraan dursee nu murteesse;
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his 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, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
7 Nus isumaan akkuma badhaadhummaa ayyaana Waaqaatti dhiiga isaatiin furama jechuunis, dhiifama cubbuu arganneerra;
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 ayyaana isaas ogummaa fi hubannaa hunda wajjin nuu baayʼise.
Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Innis akka nu icciitii fedhii isaa kan akka yaada isaa isa gaarii inni karaa Kiristoosiin karoorfate sana beeknu godhe;
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 yaadni isaas yeroo barri murtaaʼe sun guutuutti wantoota samii keessaa fi lafa irra jiran hunda Kiristoos jalatti walitti qabuuf jedhee ti.
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11 Nus akkuma karoora isa waan hundumaa akka kaayyoo fedhii isaatti hojjetu sanaatti duraan dursee waan murteeffamneef Kiristoosiin dhaala arganneerra;
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 kunis akka nu warri Kiristoosin abdachuutti kanneen jalqabaa taane galata ulfina isaa taanuuf.
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 Isinis dubbii dhugaa jechuunis wangeela fayyina keessanii dhageessanii Kiristoositti amantanii, Hafuura Qulqulluu waadaa galame sanaan chaappeffamtan;
In whom all of you also trusted, after that all of you heard the word (logos) of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that all of you believed, all of you were sealed with that holy Spirit (pneuma) of promise,
14 innis warri kan Waaqayyoo taʼan galata ulfina isaatiif yeroo furamanitti wanta nu argachuuf jirruuf qabdii keenya.
Which is the earn of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Kanaafuu ani waaʼee amantii isin Gooftaa Yesuusitti qabdanii fi jaalala isin qulqulloota hundaaf qabdanii dhagaʼee
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love (agape) unto all the saints,
16 kadhannaa koo keessatti isin yaadachaa waaʼee keessaniif galateeffachuu hin dhiifne.
Cease not to give 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 unto you the spirit (pneuma) of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
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 understanding being enlightened; that all of you may know what is the hope of his calling, and 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 what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 kan inni ittiin Kiristoosin warra duʼan keessaa kaasee samii irratti mirga ofii teessise sana mulʼisee dha;
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
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 all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
22 Waaqnis waan hunda miilla isaa jala galche; waldaa kiristaanaatiifis mataa waan hundaa godhee isa kenne;
And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 waldaan kiristaanaa dhagna isaa ti; isheenis guutama isaa kan inni waan hunda karaa hundaan guutuu dha.
Which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.
