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 Mak o popol sang ren Kot Sam atail o atail Kaun Iesus Kristus en mi re omail!
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Meid iasanai Kot o Sam en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, me kapaia kin kitail lar song en pai ngenin karos sang nanlang ren Kristus.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 A kotin pil kitail dar re a, mon sappa saikenta pasondier, pwe kitail en saraui o minla mo a ni limpok.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Me pil kileledier, me kitail, en wiala sapwilim a seri ki Iesus Kristus, duen a kotin kupura mauki.
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Pwen kalinganada a mak lapalap, me a kotin make kin kitail ren Kompoke pa a,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 Me kotin dore kin kitail la nta o lapwadan dip akan ki a mak lapalap.
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Me a kotiki ong kitail ni song en lolekong o koiok karos,
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Ni a kotin diarok ong kitail er me rir en kupur a duen a kotin kupuramauki o duen a kileledier ren pein i.
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 Pwen pwaida ansau lao leler en wisik penang tapwi ta ieu meakaros, ren Kristus, men nanlang kan o men sappa kan ong pein i.
That in the dispensation of the fulness 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 Me pil kare ong kitail soso eu, kitail me kileledier duen kupur en i, me kin wiada meakan karos, duen a kotin kupura,
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 Pwe kitail en wiala men kalinganada i, kitail, me kaporoporeki Kristus,
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 Me komail pil kaporoporeki murin omail ronger masan en melel o rongamau en kamaur; me pil kilele komail kidier Ngen saraui en inau, ni omail posonlar.
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Iei men kamelele en atail soso, lao lel ansau en atail konodi maur soutuk, pwen wiala sapwilim en Kot o men kapinga a lingan.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Ari, i lao rongadar duen omail poson Kaun Iesus o duen omail limpok ong saraui kan karos,
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 I sota kin dukedi sang ai danke pweki komail, o i kin tamatamanda komail ni ai kapakap akan;
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 Pwe Kot en atail Kaun Iesus Kristus, Sam en lingan, en kotiki ong komail ngen en erpit o kaudial, pwen asada i,
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18 O kotin kamaraini mas en mongiong omail, pwe komail en kak dedeki kaporopor en omail paeker, o lingan laud en soso, me onoper ong saraui kan,
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 O a manaman kaualap ong kitail, me posonlar, duen a dodok manaman,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Me a kotin kasansaledar ren Kristus ni a kotin kaiasada i sang ren me melar akan, ap kasapwiladang pali maun nanlang,
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 Ilela sang meakan karos, o manaman karos, o kelail o men poa kan o mar karos, kaidin ni muei wet eta, pwe pil ni muei kokodo. (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 O a kotiki ong meakaros pan aluwilu a kan, o kotin kasapwiladang tapwin meakaros ren momodisou,
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 Iei war a, iei kadir pan me kadirela meakaros.
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
