Uafisawa 1
1 Bulus gono kaduran Kristi Yisa nin yinnu Kutellẹ, udu kiti nale na ina fera nani bara Kutellẹ nan nya Afisus, ale na ina yinin nin Yisa Kristi.
To Christ’s People at Ephesus who are faithful to him, from Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God.
2 Na ubollu nin tọp Kutellẹ so nan ghinu unuzu kitime uchif bit a Cikilari bit Yisa Kristi.
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
3 Na issu Liru Kutellẹ nin Chiff in Cikilari bit Yisa Kristi. Amere na tinari vat uruhu nmari mongo na midi kitene kani nan nya Kristi.
Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who has blessed us on high with every spiritual blessing, in Christ.
4 Bara na Kutellẹ na fere nari alle na iyinna nin Kristi uworu a idutu sa ukẹ in yï. Ana fere nari tinan yita lau sa ndinong nbun me.
For he chose us in our union with Christ before the creation of the universe, that we might be holy and blameless in his sight, living in the spirit of love.
5 Nan nya nsu Kutellẹ yiru nari atta nono me mun nan nya Yisa Kristi. Anan su nani nan nya lanzun mang nilemon na adinin su asu.
From the first he destined us, in his good-will towards us, to be adopted as Sons through Jesus Christ,
6 Vat nile imone iwasu, inan su liru Kutellẹ nan nya ngongong nbolu me ulle na ana filli nari nan nya kinayi me.
and so to enhance that glorious manifestation of his loving-kindness which he gave us in The Beloved;
7 Kutanki
for in him, and through the shedding of his blood, we have found redemption in the pardon of our offences.
All this accords with the loving-kindness which God lavished upon us, accompanied by countless gifts of wisdom and discernment,
9 Kutellẹ na durso nari ushiri kidegen ka naki nyeshin nafo usu kibinayi me na aduro nan nya Kristi.
when he made known to us his hidden purpose. And it also accords with the good-will which God purposed to exhibit in Christ,
10 Asa kubin nmalzunu nshiri me nkullo aba munu imon kitene kani nin in yï ulele vat kiti kirum nan nya Kristi.
in view of that Divine Order which was to mark the completion of the ages, when he should make everything, both in Heaven and on earth, centre in him.
11 In nan nya Kristi iwa fere nari uworsu nafo ushiri me na adin su imon vat nin kpilizu kibinayi me.
In him, I say, for by our union with him we became God’s Heritage, having from the first been destined for this in the intention of him who, in all that happens, is carrying out his own fixed purpose;
12 Kutellẹ na tinani tinan yita achine bara uzazinu ngongon Me, arikere ale na tiwa yarin uyinnu nin Kristi.
that we should enhance his glory — we who have been the first to rest our hopes on the Christ.
13 Kitin Kristiari iwa lanza ligbulang kidegen ulliru lai nin un tuchu mine kitin Kristi, ulle na anung na yinni mun tutun iyatca minu nin likawali nfip milau.
And you, too, by your union with him, after you had heard the Message of the Truth, the Good News of your Salvation — you believed in him and were sealed as his by receiving the holy Spirit, which he had promised.
14 Uruhari likaran ngadu bit se tinin se uso nan nya kipin tigo Kutellẹ bara liru ngongong me.
And the Spirit is a pledge of our future heritage, fore-shadowing the full redemption of God’s own People — to enhance his Glory.
15 Bara nani un woru kubi ko na nwanlanza ubelle yinnu mine sa uyene nan nyan Cikilari Yisa, nin belle nsu vat nale na ina fere nani bara ame.
And therefore I, ever since I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your confidence in all Christ’s People,
16 Na in sunna ugodo Kutellẹ bara anughe nin yichu tisa mine nyan lira ning ba.
have never omitted to thank God on your behalf, whenever I make mention of you in my prayers.
17 Ndin lira Kutellẹn Cikilari Yisa Kristi, uchifi ngongonng, ma niminu uruhu inyiru nin puzunu in yinnu me,
My prayer is that the God of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-glorious Father, may inspire you with wisdom and true insight through a fuller knowledge of himself;
18 Ndin lire bara iyizi nibinayi mine ti kanang, tinang yinno inyari likara inciwu nibinayi bite. Ndi nlira inan yinnu inyarri ngbardang ngonbong gadu nan nya nalle na issosin lissosin me.
that your minds may be so enlightened that you may realise the hope given by God’s Call, the wealth of the glory of his heritage among Christ’s People,
19 Iyaghari katin likaran gbardang me nin yiru me kiti nale iyinna, nafo na in gbardang likara katame din su.
and the transcendent greatness of the power which he is able to exercise in dealing with us who believe in him.
20 Lo likarere wasu katah nan nya Kristi na Kutellẹ wa fiyghe kisek a sonkoghe nchara ulime me nan nya niti kitene kani.
The same mighty power was exerted upon the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and ‘caused him to sit at his right hand’ on high, exalting him above all Angels and Archangels of every rank,
21 Ubun nin vat tigoh, a udursuzun nbatinu, likara, usu ligo a kolome lissa lo na ina ni. Ana chewu Kristi ku na nko kuje chas ba, nin du kujin bun wang. (aiōn g165)
and above every name that can be named, whether in the present age, or in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Kutellẹ nani imon vat nabunu Kristi, amini na tighe asso liti nimon vat kuti nlira.
And God placed ‘all things under Christ’s feet,’ and gave him to the Church as its supreme Head;
23 Na kunnere kidowo me, ukullu mere din kulusu imon vat tibau ngangang.
for the Church is Christ’s Body, and is filled by him who fills all things everywhere with his presence.
