Baefesia 1
1 Ditsala tsa me tsa Bakeresete mo Efeso tse di rategang, tse ka malatsi otlhe di ikanyegang mo Moreneng: ke nna Paulo yo ke lo kwalelang, yo ke tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 A masego a gagwe le kagiso a nne le lona, a lo a romeletsweng ke Modimo Rraetsho le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona.
Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Mme re galaletsa Modimo thata jang, Ra-Morena wa rona ebong Jesu Keresete, yo o re segofaditseng ka lesego lengwe le lengwe mo legodimong ka gobo re le ba ga Keresete.
Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4 Erile bogologolo, le pele ga o dira lefatshe, Modimo o ne wa re itlhophela go nna baone tota, ka se Keresete o neng a tlaa se re direla; o ne wa ikaelela go re itshepisa mo matlhong a One, re sena molato ope rona ba re emeng fa pele ga one re apere lorato lwa one.
according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5 Leano la one le le sa fetogeng e ntse ka malatsi otlhe e le go re dira ba lelwapa la One ka go roma Jesu Keresete go tla go re swela. Mme o ne o dira jaana ka gore o ne o batla go dira jalo!
having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 Jaanong a pako yotlhe e nne go Modimo ka ntlha ya bopelonomi jwa one jo bo hakgamatsang mo go rona, le botsalano jo o re bo neileng ka ntlha ya go bo re le ba Morwaa One yo o rategang thata.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
7 Jalo he, bopelonomi jwa One bo a penologa mo go rona gonne o ne wa tlosa dibe tsotlhe tsa rona ka madi a Morwaa One, yo re bolokwang ka ene;
in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8 gape o re neseditse khumo ya tshegofatso ya One, gonne o re tlhaloganya sentle thata ebile o itse se se re siametseng ka dinako tsotlhe.
in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 Modimo o re boleletse lebaka la sephiri sa One sa go romela Keresete, leano la kutlwelobotlhoko le o sa bolong go le akanya;
having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
10 mme maikaelelo a One e ne e le a: gore e re fa lobaka lo setse lo siame o re phuthe rotlhe gongwe le gongwe kwa re leng teng, mo legodimong kgotsa mo lefatsheng, go nna le one mo go Keresete, ka bosakhutleng.
in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
11 Segolo jang ka ntlha ya se Keresete a se dirileng, re nnile dimpho tsa Modimo tse o di itulelang, mme ka ele bontlhabongwe jwa leano la bogosi re sale re tlhophiwa go nna ba One go tswa tshimologong, mme dilo tsotlhe di diragala fela jaaka o sale o ikaeletse bogologolo.
in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
12 Maikaelelo a Modimo mo go lone leano le, e ne e le gore re galaletse Modimo re bo re o neye kgalalelo ka ntlha ya go re direla dilo tse dikgolo tse, rona ba re neng ra nna ba ntlha go re direla dilo tse di kgolo tse, rona ba re neng ra nna ba ntlha go ikanya Keresete.
for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
13 Mme ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se dirileng, le lona lotlhe ba bangwe, ba lo utlwileng Mafoko a a Molemo a ka fa lo ka bolokwang ka teng, lwa ba lwa ikanya Keresete, lo ne lwa tshwaiwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo gore lo ba ga Keresete, o e rileng bogologolo ra o solofediwa rotlhe rona Bakeresete.
in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
14 Go nna teng ga gagwe mo go rona ke tlhomamiso ya Modimo gore tota o tlaa re neela gotlhe mo o go re solofeditseng; mme sekano sa mowa O O Boitshepo mo go rona se raya gore Modimo o setse o re rekile, le gore o tlhomamisa go re busetsa kwa go one. Ke lone fela lebaka le lengwe le re tshwanetseng go galaletsa Modimo wa rona wa kgalalelo ka lone.
which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Ke gone ka mo e leng gore, fa e sale fela e re ke sena go utlwalela kaga tumelo ya lona e e nonofileng mo go Morena Jesu le kaga lorato lo lo nang nalo mo Bakereseteng gongwe le gongwe,
Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
16 ga ke ise ke ko ke khutle go leboga Modimo kaga lona. Ke lo rapelela gangwe le gape, ke kopa Mo-dimo, Rara yo o galalelang wa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, go lo naya botlhale go bona sentle le go tlhaloganya tota gore Jesu ke mang le gotlhe mo o go lo diretseng.
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
18 Ke rapelela gore dipelo tsa lona di tlale lesedi gore lo tle lo bone sengwe sa malatsi a a saleng kwa pele se a se lo bileditseng go nna le seabe mo go sone. Ke batla gore lo lemoge gore Modimo o humile gonne rona ba re leng ba ga Keresete re ba one.
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 Ke rapelela gore lo simolole go tlhaloganya ka fa nonofo ya One e leng kgolo ka teng go thusa ba ba dumelang mo go One. Mme e ntse ke yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo,
and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 e e tsositseng Keresete mo baswing ya mmaya mo lefelong la tlotlo ka fa lebogong le legolo la Modimo mo legodimong,
which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 kwa godimo-dimo thata go feta kgosi le fa e ka ne e le efe kgotsa mmusi kgotsa molaodi yo o sa fetolweng kgotsa moeteledipele. Ee, tlotlo ya gagwe e galalela thata go feta le fa e le ya ga mang mo lefatsheng leno kgotsa mo lefatsheng le le tlang. (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
22 Mme Modimo o beile dilo tsotlhe ka fa tlase ga dinao tsa gagwe wa bo wa mo dira Tlhogo kgolo ya phuthego,
and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
23 e e leng mmele wa gagwe, e e tladitsweng ka ene, Motlhodi le Moabi wa dilo tsotlhe gongwe le gongwe.
which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
