Ephesians 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus.
Naku, na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei Apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Epeha, ara ki te hunga whakapono i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;
Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tatou i manaaki ki nga manaaki katoa o te wairua ki nga wahi o te rangi, i roto i a te Karaiti:
4 according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;
I runga i te tikanga i whiriwhiria ai tatou e ia i roto i a ia i mua i te orokohanganga o te ao, hei hunga tapu, kahakore i tona aroaro, i runga i te aroha.
5 having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
He mea whakarite hoki tatou nana i mua, hei tama mana, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ko ta tona whakaaro hoki i pai ai,
6 to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:
Hei whakamoemiti mo te kororia o tona aroha noa, i atawhaitia ai tatou i roto i tana i aroha ai.
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;
Kei roto nei i a ia to tatou whakaoranga i runga i ona toto, ara te murunga o nga he; he hua hoki no tona aroha noa,
8 which he has caused to abound towards us in all wisdom and intelligence,
I hira rawa nei ki a tatou i runga i nga whakaaro nui, i nga whakaaro mohio katoa;
9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
Whakakitea mai ana hoki e ia ki a tatou tana whakaaro ngaro, tana hoki i ahuareka ai, tana i whakatakoto ai i mua i roto i a ia,
10 for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,
Mo te tikanga ina rite nga wa, kia huihuia nga mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti, nga mea i te rangi, me nga mea i te whenua; i roto ano i a ia,
11 in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,
I whakawhiwhia nei matou i roto i a ia, he mea whakarite i mua i runga i tana i whakatakoto ai, e mahia ana hoki e ia nga mea katoa i runga i ta tona whakaaro i pai ai:
12 that we should be to [the] praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:
Kia ai matou hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia, ara matou, te hunga kua tumanako wawe ki a te Karaiti.
13 in whom ye also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Me koutou hoki tumanako ana ano koutou ki a ia, i to koutou rongonga ki te kupu o te pono, ki te rongopai o to koutou ora: a, i to koutou whakaponotanga ki a ia, na hiritia ana koutou e te Wairua Tapu i korerotia mai i mua:
14 who is [the] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to [the] praise of his glory.
Hei taumau i nga taonga mo tatou, kia whakaorangia ra ano ta te Atua mea i hokona, hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia.
15 Wherefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which [is] in you, and the love which [ye have] towards all the saints,
Na konei ahau, i toku rongonga ki to koutou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu, ki te aroha ano hoki ki te hunga tapu katoa,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you] at my prayers,
Kahore e mutu taku whakawhetai mo koutou, me te whakahua ano i a koutou i aku inoinga;
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,
Kia homai ki a koutou e te Atua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, e te Matua o te kororia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te whakakitenga i runga i te mohio ki a ia:
18 being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Kia whakamaramatia nga kanohi o to koutou hinengaro; kia matau ai koutou ki te mea o tana karanga e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te kororia nui hoki o tona taonga i roto i te hunga tapu,
19 and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
Ki te nui whakaharahara hoki o tona kaha ki a tatou ki te hunga e whakapono nei, i runga i te mahinga a te mana o tona kaha,
20 [in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,
I mahi ai ia i roto i a te Karaiti i tana whakaarahanga i a ia i te hunga mate, a whakanohoia ana ia ki tona matau, ki nga wahi i te rangi,
21 above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come; (aiōn g165)
Ki runga ake i nga kawanatanga katoa, i te mana, i te kaha, i te rangatiratanga, i nga ingoa katoa hoki e whakahuatia ana, ehara i te mea ko o tenei ao anake, ko o tera ao ano hoki: (aiōn g165)
22 and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
A tukua ana e ia nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae, meinga ana hoki ia hei i runga i nga mea katoa mo te hahi,
23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
Ara mo tona tinana, e ki tonu nei i a ia, i te kaiwhakaki o nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.
