1 Paulo, mtume wa Kristo Yesu, kwa mapenzi ya Mungu: Kwa watakatifu walioko Efeso, walio waaminifu katika Kristo Yesu:
Paul apostle Christ Jesus through/because of will/desire God the/this/who holy: saint the/this/who to be in/on/among Ephesus and faithful in/on/among Christ Jesus
2 Neema na amani itokayo kwa Mungu Baba yetu na kwa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo iwe nanyi.
grace you and peace away from God father me and lord: God Jesus Christ
3 Ahimidiwe Mungu na Baba wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, aliyetubariki sisi kwa baraka zote za rohoni, katika ulimwengu wa roho ndani ya Kristo.
praiseworthy the/this/who God and father the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ the/this/who to praise/bless me in/on/among all praise spiritual in/on/among the/this/who heavenly in/on/among Christ
4 Kwa maana alituchagua katika yeye kabla ya kuumbwa ulimwengu ili tuwe watakatifu na bila lawama mbele zake. Kwa upendo
as/just as to select me in/on/among it/s/he before beginning world to exist me holy and blameless before it/s/he in/on/among love
5 alitangulia kutuchagua tuwe wanawe kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo kwa furaha yake na mapenzi yake mwenyewe.
to predestine me toward adoption (as son) through/because of Jesus Christ toward it/s/he according to the/this/who goodwill the/this/who will/desire it/s/he
6 Kwa hiyo tunamsifu Mungu kwa huruma zake kuu alizotumiminia sisi katika Mwanawe Mpendwa.
toward praise glory the/this/who grace it/s/he (in/on/among *K*) (which *N(k)O*) to favor me in/on/among the/this/who to love
7 Ndani yake tunao ukombozi kwa njia ya damu yake, yaani, msamaha wa dhambi, sawasawa na wingi wa neema yake
in/on/among which to have/be the/this/who redemption through/because of the/this/who blood it/s/he the/this/who forgiveness the/this/who trespass according to (the/this/who riches *N(k)O*) the/this/who grace it/s/he
8 aliyotumiminia kwa wingi, kwa hekima yote na maarifa yote.
which to exceed toward me in/on/among all wisdom and understanding
9 Naye alitujulisha siri ya mapenzi yake sawasawa na uradhi wa mapenzi yake, ambayo alikusudia katika Kristo,
to make known me the/this/who mystery the/this/who will/desire it/s/he according to the/this/who goodwill it/s/he which to plan/present in/on/among it/s/he
10 ili yapate kutimizwa wakati mkamilifu utakapowadia, yaani, kuvitia vitu vyote vya mbinguni na vya duniani pamoja, chini ya kiongozi mmoja, ndiye Kristo.
toward management the/this/who fulfillment the/this/who time/right time to summarise the/this/who all in/on/among the/this/who Christ the/this/who (and/both *k*) (upon/to/against *N(k)O*) the/this/who heaven and the/this/who upon/to/against the/this/who earth: planet in/on/among it/s/he
11 Katika Kristo sisi nasi tumepata urithi, tukisha kuchaguliwa sawasawa na kusudi la Mungu, yeye ambaye hufanya mambo yote kulingana na kusudi la mapenzi yake,
in/on/among which and to obtain to predestine according to purpose the/this/who the/this/who all be active according to the/this/who plan the/this/who will/desire it/s/he
12 ili kwamba, sisi tuliokuwa wa kwanza kuweka tumaini katika Kristo, tupate kuishi kwa sifa ya utukufu wake.
toward the/this/who to exist me toward praise (the/this/who *k*) glory it/s/he the/this/who to hope beforehand in/on/among the/this/who Christ
13 Ninyi pia mliingia ndani ya Kristo mliposikia Neno la kweli, Injili ya wokovu wenu. Mkiisha kuamini, ndani yake mlitiwa muhuri, yaani, Roho Mtakatifu mliyeahidiwa,
in/on/among which and you to hear the/this/who word the/this/who truth the/this/who gospel the/this/who salvation you in/on/among which and to trust (in) to seal the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit the/this/who promise the/this/who holy
14 yeye ambaye ni amana yetu akituhakikishia urithi wetu hadi ukombozi wa wale walio milki ya Mungu kwa sifa ya utukufu wake.
(which *N(k)O*) to be guarantee the/this/who inheritance me toward redemption the/this/who acquiring toward praise the/this/who glory it/s/he
15 Kwa sababu hii, tangu niliposikia juu ya imani yenu katika Bwana Yesu na upendo wenu kwa watakatifu wote,
through/because of this/he/she/it I/we and to hear the/this/who according to you faith in/on/among the/this/who lord: God Jesus and the/this/who love the/this/who toward all the/this/who holy: saint
16 sijaacha kumshukuru Mungu kwa ajili yenu, nikiwakumbuka katika maombi yangu.
no to cease to thank above/for you remembrance (you *k*) to do/make: do upon/to/against the/this/who prayer me
17 Nazidi kumwomba Mungu wa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, Baba wa utukufu, awajalieni ninyi roho ya hekima na ya ufunuo, ili mpate kumjua zaidi.
in order that/to the/this/who God the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ the/this/who father the/this/who glory (to give *NK(o)*) you spirit/breath: spirit wisdom and revelation in/on/among knowledge it/s/he
18 Ninaomba pia kwamba macho ya mioyo yenu yatiwe nuru ili mpate kujua tumaini mliloitiwa, utajiri wa urithi wa utukufu wake kwa watakatifu
to illuminate the/this/who eye the/this/who (heart *N(K)O*) you toward the/this/who to know you which? to be the/this/who hope the/this/who calling it/s/he (and *k*) which? the/this/who riches the/this/who glory the/this/who inheritance it/s/he in/on/among the/this/who holy: saint
19 na uweza wake mkuu usiolinganishwa kwa ajili yetu sisi tuaminio. Uweza huo unaofanya kazi ndani yetu, ni sawa na ile nguvu kuu mno
and which? the/this/who to surpass greatness the/this/who power it/s/he toward me the/this/who to trust (in) according to the/this/who active energy the/this/who power the/this/who strength it/s/he
20 aliyoitumia katika Kristo alipomfufua kutoka kwa wafu, na akamketisha mkono wake wa kuume huko mbinguni,
which (be active *NK(o)*) in/on/among the/this/who Christ to arise it/s/he out from (the/this/who *o*) dead and (to seat *N(k)O*) (it/s/he *O*) in/on/among right it/s/he in/on/among the/this/who heavenly
21 juu sana kuliko falme zote na mamlaka, enzi na milki, na juu ya kila jina litajwalo, si katika ulimwengu huu tu, bali katika ule ujao pia. (aiōn )
above all beginning and authority and power and lordship and all name to name no alone in/on/among the/this/who an age: age this/he/she/it but and in/on/among the/this/who to ensue (aiōn )
22 Naye Mungu ameweka vitu vyote viwe chini ya miguu yake na amemfanya yeye awe kichwa cha vitu vyote kwa ajili ya Kanisa,
and all to subject by/under: under the/this/who foot it/s/he and it/s/he to give head above/for all the/this/who assembly
23 ambalo ndilo mwili wake, ukamilifu wake yeye aliye yote katika yote.
