Ephisa 1
1 Pathen kah kongaih neh Jesuh Khrih kah caeltueih Paul loh Ephisa kah aka om hlang cim rhoek neh Jesuh Khrih ah uepom kan yaak sak.
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, that is, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Boeipa Jesuh Khrih neh a pa Pathen taengkah lungvatnah neh ngaimongnah tah nangmih taengah om saeh.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Pathen neh mamih kah Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah a napa tah uemom la om pai saeh. Amah loh Khrih ah vaan kah mueihla yoethennah cungkuem neh mamih n'uem coeng.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
4 Mamih he Lungnah neh amah hmuh ah cimcaih tih cuemthuek la om ham Diklai a tong hlanah amah dongah mamih n'tuek pataeng coeng.
just as He[F] chose us in Him[S] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him[F], in love,
5 Amah kah kongaih, kolonah vanbangla amah ham Jesuh Khrih lamloh cacah la mamih n'nuen coeng.
having predestined us into an adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, into Him[S], according to the good pleasure of His[F] will,
6 A lungvatnah dongkah thangpomnah he koehnah la om pai. Te nen ni lungnah dongah mamih n'lungvat.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
7 A thii lamloh amah dongah tlannah n'dang uh. A lungvatnah dongkah khuehtawn vanbangla tholhdalhnah dongkah khodawkngainah te khaw n'danguh.
in whom we have the redemption through His[S] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His[F] grace,
8 Tekah te mamih ah cueihnah cungkuem, lungcueinah neh a baetawt sak.
that He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligent design,
9 A kongaih kah olhuep te mamih taengah phoe coeng.
having made known to us the ‘secret’ of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him[S],
10 A kolonah bangla amah khuiah a hmoel te a tuetang a soepnah dongah hnokhoemnah la om coeng. A cungkuem he vaan kah neh diklai kah khaw, Khrih amah dongah cuii sak ham om.
with a view to administering the fullness of the times, so as to bring all things together under one head in Christ—those on the heavens and those on the earth—in Him[S],
11 A kongaih kah mangtaengnah bangla boeih pongthoo tih, a mangtaengnah vanbangla a nuen rhoek long tah amah dongkah te m'pang uh van coeng.
in whom we were also assigned an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him[F] who works all things according to the decision of His will,
12 Te dongah amah kah thangpomnah Khrih ah koehnah la mamih n'om ham n'ngaiuep.
so that we should be to the praise of His glory, we who first trusted in the Christ;
13 Nangmih khaw amah dongah ni namamih kah khangnah olthangthen oltak olka te na yaak uh. Amah aka tangnah tah olkhueh dongkah Mueihla Cim neh kutnoek n'daeng thil coeng.
about whom, to be sure, we had heard the true Word—the Gospel of your salvation; by whom, since you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 Te tah dangnah dongah tlannah duela a thangpomnah dongkah koehnah te mamih kah rho cungah la om.
who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Te dongah Boeipa Jesuh dongah tangnah neh hlangcim rhoek boeih taengah lungnah te nangmih taeng lamloh ka yaak.
Because of this, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 Te dongah nangmih ham toeng kolla aka uem loh ka thangthuinah dongah poekkoepnah ka khueh.
I really do not stop giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 Te daengah ni mamih Boeipa Jesuh Khrih kah Pathen, thangpomnah a pa loh amah mingnah dongah pumphoenah neh cueihnah mueihla te nangmih m'paek eh.
that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself,
18 Amah kah khuenah dongah ngaiuepnah aka om te na ming hamla nangmih thinko mik tueng uh. Amah rho dongkah thangpomnah khuehtawn te tah hlangcim rhoek soah om.
the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know 1) what is the hope of His[F] calling, and 2) what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 A thaomnah, a lennah aka baekhawk te tah a thadueng kah thaomnah bibi bangla aka tangnah mamih taengah om.
and 3) what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might
20 Te tah duek lamkah aka thoo Khrih amah khuiah a tueng sak. Te dongah vaan ah khaw a bantang ah ngol coeng.
which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms,
21 Boeilu neh saithainah khaw, thaomnah neh taemrhainah khaw, ming khue boeih te ta kumhal bueng kah pawt tih hmailong kah khaw boeih a poe. (aiōn g165)
far above every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next. (aiōn g165)
22 A cungkuem la a kho hmuiah boe a ngai sak tih amah te hlangboel taengah cungkuem soah a lu la a khueh.
In short, He[F] placed everything under His[S] feet, and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,
23 Te tah amah pum la om tih cungkuem kah a soepnah tah cungkuem taengah soep.
which is His body, the complement of Him who fills everything in every way.
