1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
1Ko au Paula, ko e ʻaposetolo ʻa Sisu Kalaisi ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua, ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi ʻEfesō, pea ki he kakai tui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu:
2Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae kelesi, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e tau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
3Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne tāpuaki ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki fakalaumālie kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi:
4As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
4ʻO fakatatau ki heʻene fili ʻakitautolu ʻiate ia ʻi he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻa māmani, koeʻuhi ke tau māʻoniʻoni mo taʻehalaia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ʻofa:
5Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:
5ʻAia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakitautolu ki he ʻohia ʻoe fānau kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he angaʻofa ʻo hono finangalo,
6Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.
6Ke ai ha fakafetaʻi ʻi heʻene ʻofa ongoongolelei, ʻaia kuo ne maʻu ai ʻakitautolu ʻi he ʻOfeina.
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
7ʻAia ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻae huhuʻi hono taʻataʻa, ko e fakamolemole ʻoe ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa;
8Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,
8ʻAia kuo ne fonu lahi ʻaupito ai kiate kitautolu, ʻi he poto kotoa pē mo e ʻiloʻilo;
9That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
9ʻI he fakaʻilo kiate kitautolu ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻo hono finangalo, ʻo fakatatau mo e angaʻofa ʻaʻana, ʻaia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻiate ia pe:
10In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
10Koeʻuhi ʻi he kakato ʻoe ngaahi kuonga naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, ke ne fakakātoa fakataha ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi, ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻi he langi, mo ia ʻoku ʻi māmani; ʻio, ʻiate ia:
11In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.
11ʻAia kuo mau maʻu ai foki ʻae tofiʻa, he kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻiteliha ʻo ia ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he poto ʻo hono finangalo:
12That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
12Koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ʻene angalelei ʻiate kimautolu naʻe tomuʻa falala kia Kalaisi,
13In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,
13Mo kimoutolu foki, ʻi he hili hoʻomou fanongo ki he folofola ʻoe moʻoni, ko e ongoongolelei ʻo homou fakamoʻui: ʻaia foki ʻi hoʻomou tui, naʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻoe talaʻofa,
14Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
14ʻAia ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo hotau tofiʻa, kaeʻoua ke huhuʻi ʻae tofiʻa kuo fakatau, ke fakaongolelei ai ʻene angalelei.
15Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,
15Pea ko au foki, hili ʻeku fanongo ki hoʻomou tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo e ʻofa ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē,
16Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,
16ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻeku ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo takua ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu;
17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:
17Koeʻuhi ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Tamai ʻoe nāunau, ʻae laumālie ʻoe poto mo e fakahā ʻi he faʻa ʻiloʻi ia;
18The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
18ʻI he fakamaama ʻae mata ʻo homou loto; koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ai, pe ko e hā ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻo ʻene ui, pea ko e hā ʻae koloa ʻoe lelei ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻi he kāinga māʻoniʻoni,
19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
19Pea ko e hā hono lahi fakamanavahē ʻo ʻene mālohi kiate kitautolu ʻoku tui, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻa hono māfimafi lahi ʻaupito,
20Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.
20ʻAia naʻa ne fai kia Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia, ʻo ne fakanofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi,
21Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come.
21ʻO māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi pule kotoa pē, mo e mālohi, mo e māfimafi, mo e ʻeikiʻanga mo e hingoa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ʻaki, ʻikai ʻi he māmani pe, ka ʻi he maama ko ia foki ʻe hoko:
22And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,
22Pea kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe, pea fakanofo ia ko e ʻulu ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono siasi,
23Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.
23ʻAia ko hono sino, ko e fonu ʻo ia ʻoku ne fakafonu kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
