Efesos 1
1 Anigoo Bawlos ah, oo rasuul u ah Ciise Masiix xagga doonista Ilaah, waxaan warqaddan u qorayaa quduusiinta Efesos joogta iyo kuwa aaminka ah oo Ciise Masiix ku jira.
I, Paul, am an apostle whom God appointed (to represent/to proclaim the message about) Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. [I am writing this letter] to you who are the people of God in Ephesus [city. You are people who] (faithfully/continue to) trust in Christ Jesus and who have a close relationship with him.
2 Nimco ha idinla jirto iyo nabad ka timaada Ilaaha Aabbeheenna ah iyo Rabbi Ciise Masiix.
[I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to have [inner] peace.
3 Ammaanu ha u ahaato Ilaaha ah Aabbaha Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix. Wuxuu Masiix inagu siiyey barako kasta oo Ruuxa ka timid ee ku jirta meelaha jannada,
Praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! Because of our relationship with Christ, he has blessed us spiritually in every way by giving us blessings that come from heaven.
4 xataa siduu inoogu doortay isaga dhexdiisa intaan dunida la aasaasin ka hor inaynu quduus ahaanno oo iin la'aanno isaga hortiisa, isagoo ina jecel,
Before God created the world, he chose us to be his people because of our (relationship with/union with) Christ, in order that [God could consider] us to be completely holy [DOU]. Because [God] loves [us],
5 oo hore inoogu doortay inuu inaga dhigto carruurtiisii xagga Ciise Masiix siduu doonayay oo ku farxay,
he decided long ago that he would adopt us to be [as though we were] his own children because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. He decided to do that because it pleased him to do that.
6 in la ammaano cisada nimcadiisa ee uu inagu siiyey kan uu jecel yahay.
He did it in order that we would praise him for acting very kindly toward us in a wonderful way that we did not deserve. He did it because of our relationship with his beloved Son {[one, who is also God, whom he] loves}.
7 Isaga, sida ay hodantinimada nimcadiisu tahay, waxaynu dhiiggiisa ku leennahay madaxfurasho ah dembidhaafkeenna.
When the blood of Christ [flowed when he died] [MTY], [it was as though] he paid a price to free/save us [from the guilt of our sins]. [That] ([provided a way/made it possible]) [for] God to act very kindly toward us to forgive us for having sinned.
8 Nimcadaas wuxuu inoogu badiyey xagga xigmadda iyo miyirka oo dhan,
He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
9 oo wuxuu ina ogeysiiyey qarsoodiga doonistiisa siduu ugu farxay oo Masiixa ugu fikiray
He has enabled us to know the things that he had planned secretly (OR, that he had not revealed to anyone yet). He did that because he wanted to do that, and because he planned to do that by means of the things Christ would do.
10 oo ugu talaggalay dhammaadka wakhtiga inuu Masiixa ku ururiyo wax kasta, waxa samooyinka ku jira iyo waxa dhulka joogaba.
God planned that at the time that [he appointed], he would unite all things/beings in heaven and all things/beings on earth (OR, all beings in heaven and all things on earth), and cause Christ to be the one who will rule them [MET].
11 Isagaynu dhaxal ku helnay innagoo laynagu doortay qasdiga kan wax kasta kaga shaqeeya sida ay tahay talada doonistiisu,
Because of our close relationship with Christ, God has also chosen us [(inc)] (OR, us [(exc)] Jews) to receive what he has promised [to give] us. He decided long ago to do that. It was exactly what he planned. He accomplishes everything exactly as he plans and desires,
12 in kuweenna markii hore Masiixa wax ku rajeeyey aynu ahaanno kuwo aawadood lagu ammaano Ilaah cisadiisa.
in order that we(exc) Jews, who confidently expected the Messiah to do great things for us before the non-Jews expected such things (OR, we [(inc)] who were already confidently expecting Christ [to do great things for us]) will praise him for his greatness.
13 Oo weliba idinku isagaad ku maqasheen ereyga runta ah, kaas oo ah injiilka badbaadadiinna, oo weliba idinku markii aad rumaysateen ayaa laydinku shaabadeeyey Ruuxa Quduuska ah oo uu ballanqaaday,
You [Ephesians] also heard the true message, the good message about how God saves you. [People] put their seal on something to show that [it belongs to them]. Similarly, when you believed [in Christ], God [showed that you also belong to him by sending you] the Holy Spirit as he promised to do [MET].
14 oo ah carbuuntii dhaxalkeenna xagga furashada hantida Ilaah in la ammaano cisadiisa.
The Holy Spirit is [like] [MET] a (deposit/down payment). That is, he (guarantees/assures us) that [we will receive] all that God has promised to give us, at the time when God will give to those who belong to him [MET] everything that [Christ] freed us to receive. [God also assures you that you belong to him], in order that you would praise him for his greatness.
15 Anigu waxaan maqlay rumaysadkiinna xagga Rabbi Ciise, iyo jacaylka aad quduusiinta oo dhan u qabtaan, oo sidaas daraaddeed
Because of [what God has done for you], and because [people] told me that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus and that you love all those who belong to God,
16 ma joojiyo inaan Ilaah idiinku mahadnaqo. Baryadayda ayaan idinku soo xusuusanayaa,
I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
17 in Ilaaha Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix oo ah Aabbaha ammaanta uu ruuxa xigmadda iyo muujinta idinku siiyo aqoonta aad isaga taqaaniin.
[I pray] that God, who is the glorious/wonderful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may cause his Spirit to make you wise, and that his Spirit will reveal [God to you] so that you may fully know him.
18 Oo waxaan Ilaah baryayaa in indhaha qalbigiinna la nuuriyo, si aad u ogaataan waxa ay tahay rajada yeedhistiisu, iyo waxa ay tahay hodantinimada ammaanta dhaxalkiisa ee ku jirta quduusiinta,
And I pray that God would enable you to understand [MTY] his truth, in order that in your (inner beings/hearts) you may know the things that we believers should confidently expect to receive because he chose us [to be his people]. And I pray that you will know how God will bless his people in a very wonderful way [when we finally receive] all that he has promised to give us.
19 iyo waxa ay tahay weynaanta xooggiisa aan la koobi karin oo uu u hayo kuweenna rumaysan, sida uu u shaqeeyo xoogga itaalkiisa
And [I pray that] you will know how very powerfully [God helps] us who continue to trust [in Christ]. He works powerfully for us
20 ee uu kaga shaqeeyey Masiixii, goortuu kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kiciyey, oo uu fadhiisiyey meelaha jannada xagga midigtiisa.
just like he acted powerfully for Christ when he caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and put him in the place of highest/greatest honor [MTY] in heaven.
21 Oo wuxuu isaga ka sarreeysiiyey madax kasta, iyo amar kasta, iyo xoog kasta, iyo sayidnimo kasta, iyo magac kasta oo la magacaabay, mana aha wakhtigan oo keliya, laakiinse xataa kan imanaya. (aiōn g165)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
22 Wax kastana wuxuu ka hoosaysiiyey cagihiisa, oo wuxuu isaga madax wax kasta ka sarreeyaa uga dhigay kiniisadda,
God has caused all beings to be subject to Christ [MTY], and he has also appointed Christ, who rules over all things, to rule [MET] over all believers.
23 taas oo ah jidhkiisa oo ah buuxidda kan wax kasta meel walba ku buuxiya.
We believers [relate to Christ like the parts of a person’s] body [MET] [relate to its head]. Christ uses all [his power among us] just like he uses his power throughout the whole universe.
