Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Oore-ọ̀fẹ́ sí yín àti àlàáfíà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run Baba wá àti Jesu Kristi Olúwa.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;
4 Àní, gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti yàn wá nínú rẹ̀ ṣáájú ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ayé, láti jẹ́ mímọ́ àti aláìlábùkù níwájú rẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
5 ẹni tí ò ti yàn wá tẹ́lẹ̀ sí ìsọdọmọ nípa Jesu Kristi fún ara rẹ̀, ní ìbámu ìdùnnú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀,
having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 fún ìyìn ògo oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀, èyí tí ò ti fi fún wa nínú Àyànfẹ́ rẹ̀.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
7 Nínú rẹ̀ ni àwa rí ìràpadà gba nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀ àti ìdáríjì àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wa, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọrọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run
in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
8 èyí tí ó fún wa lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọgbọ́n àti ìmòye,
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 Ó ti sọ ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ di mí mọ̀ fún wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdùnnú rere rẹ̀, èyí ti o pinnu nínú Kristi,
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 èyí tí yóò jẹ jáde ní kíkún àkókò, láti ṣe àkójọpọ̀ àwọn ohun tí ọ̀run àti ti ayé lábẹ́ Kristi.
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
11 Nínú rẹ̀ ni a yàn wá fẹ́ lẹ́yìn tí ó ti yàn wá tẹ́lẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu ẹni tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ ohun gbogbo ní ìbámu ìfẹ́ rẹ̀,
in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
12 kí àwa kí ó le wà fún ìyìn ògo rẹ̀, àwa tí a ti ni ìrètí ṣáájú nínú Kristi.
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
13 Àti ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú darapọ̀ nínú Kristi nígbà tí ẹ̀yin gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ náà àní ìyìnrere ìgbàlà yin. Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin gbàgbọ́, a fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ṣe èdìdì ayé yin nínú rẹ, èyí tí a ti ṣe ìlérí rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀,
in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 èyí tí ó jẹ́ ìdánilójú àṣansílẹ̀ ogún wa títí yóò fi di àkókò ìràpadà àwọn tí í ṣe ti Ọlọ́run sí ìyìn ògo rẹ̀.
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Nítorí ìdí èyí, nígbà tí mo ti gbúròó ìgbàgbọ́ ti ń bẹ láàrín yín nínú Jesu Olúwa, àti ìfẹ́ yín sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́.
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,
16 Èmi kò sì sinmi láti máa dúpẹ́ nítorí yín, àti láti máa rántí yín nínú àdúrà mi.
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
18 Mo tún ń gbàdúrà bákan náà wí pé kí ojú ọkàn yín lè mọ́lẹ̀; kí ẹ̀yin lè mọ ohun tí ìrètí ìpè rẹ̀ jẹ́, àti ọrọ̀ ògo rẹ̀ èyí tí í ṣe ogún àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́,
having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 àti aláìlẹ́gbẹ́ títóbi agbára rẹ̀ fún àwa tí a gbàgbọ́. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀,
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 èyí tí ó fi sínú Kristi, nígbà tí o ti jí dìde kúrò nínú òkú, tí ó sì mú un jókòó lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tún nínú àwọn ọ̀run.
which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Ó gbéga ju gbogbo ìjọba, àti àṣẹ, àti agbára, àti òye àti gbogbo orúkọ tí a ń dá, kì í ṣe ni ayé yìí nìkan, ṣùgbọ́n ni èyí tí ń bọ̀ pẹ̀lú. (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Ọlọ́run sì ti fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì fi í ṣe orí lórí ohun gbogbo fún ìjọ,
He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
23 èyí tí i ṣe ara rẹ̀, ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ ẹni tí ó kún ohun gbogbo ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
