Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ditsala tsa me tsa Bakeresete mo Efeso tse di rategang, tse ka malatsi otlhe di ikanyegang mo Moreneng: ke nna Paulo yo ke lo kwalelang, yo ke tlhophilweng ke Modimo go nna morongwa wa ga Jesu Keresete.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
A masego a gagwe le kagiso a nne le lona, a lo a romeletsweng ke Modimo Rraetsho le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona.
3 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;
Mme re galaletsa Modimo thata jang, Ra-Morena wa rona ebong Jesu Keresete, yo o re segofaditseng ka lesego lengwe le lengwe mo legodimong ka gobo re le ba ga Keresete.
4 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;
Erile bogologolo, le pele ga o dira lefatshe, Modimo o ne wa re itlhophela go nna baone tota, ka se Keresete o neng a tlaa se re direla; o ne wa ikaelela go re itshepisa mo matlhong a One, re sena molato ope rona ba re emeng fa pele ga one re apere lorato lwa one.
5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Leano la one le le sa fetogeng e ntse ka malatsi otlhe e le go re dira ba lelwapa la One ka go roma Jesu Keresete go tla go re swela. Mme o ne o dira jaana ka gore o ne o batla go dira jalo!
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
Jaanong a pako yotlhe e nne go Modimo ka ntlha ya bopelonomi jwa one jo bo hakgamatsang mo go rona, le botsalano jo o re bo neileng ka ntlha ya go bo re le ba Morwaa One yo o rategang thata.
7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Jalo he, bopelonomi jwa One bo a penologa mo go rona gonne o ne wa tlosa dibe tsotlhe tsa rona ka madi a Morwaa One, yo re bolokwang ka ene;
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
gape o re neseditse khumo ya tshegofatso ya One, gonne o re tlhaloganya sentle thata ebile o itse se se re siametseng ka dinako tsotlhe.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Modimo o re boleletse lebaka la sephiri sa One sa go romela Keresete, leano la kutlwelobotlhoko le o sa bolong go le akanya;
10 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;
mme maikaelelo a One e ne e le a: gore e re fa lobaka lo setse lo siame o re phuthe rotlhe gongwe le gongwe kwa re leng teng, mo legodimong kgotsa mo lefatsheng, go nna le one mo go Keresete, ka bosakhutleng.
11 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;
Segolo jang ka ntlha ya se Keresete a se dirileng, re nnile dimpho tsa Modimo tse o di itulelang, mme ka ele bontlhabongwe jwa leano la bogosi re sale re tlhophiwa go nna ba One go tswa tshimologong, mme dilo tsotlhe di diragala fela jaaka o sale o ikaeletse bogologolo.
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
Maikaelelo a Modimo mo go lone leano le, e ne e le gore re galaletse Modimo re bo re o neye kgalalelo ka ntlha ya go re direla dilo tse dikgolo tse, rona ba re neng ra nna ba ntlha go re direla dilo tse di kgolo tse, rona ba re neng ra nna ba ntlha go ikanya Keresete.
13 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,
Mme ka ntlha ya se Keresete o se dirileng, le lona lotlhe ba bangwe, ba lo utlwileng Mafoko a a Molemo a ka fa lo ka bolokwang ka teng, lwa ba lwa ikanya Keresete, lo ne lwa tshwaiwa ke Mowa O O Boitshepo gore lo ba ga Keresete, o e rileng bogologolo ra o solofediwa rotlhe rona Bakeresete.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Go nna teng ga gagwe mo go rona ke tlhomamiso ya Modimo gore tota o tlaa re neela gotlhe mo o go re solofeditseng; mme sekano sa mowa O O Boitshepo mo go rona se raya gore Modimo o setse o re rekile, le gore o tlhomamisa go re busetsa kwa go one. Ke lone fela lebaka le lengwe le re tshwanetseng go galaletsa Modimo wa rona wa kgalalelo ka lone.
15 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,
Ke gone ka mo e leng gore, fa e sale fela e re ke sena go utlwalela kaga tumelo ya lona e e nonofileng mo go Morena Jesu le kaga lorato lo lo nang nalo mo Bakereseteng gongwe le gongwe,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
ga ke ise ke ko ke khutle go leboga Modimo kaga lona. Ke lo rapelela gangwe le gape, ke kopa Mo-dimo, Rara yo o galalelang wa Morena wa rona Jesu Keresete, go lo naya botlhale go bona sentle le go tlhaloganya tota gore Jesu ke mang le gotlhe mo o go lo diretseng.
17 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 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,
Ke rapelela gore dipelo tsa lona di tlale lesedi gore lo tle lo bone sengwe sa malatsi a a saleng kwa pele se a se lo bileditseng go nna le seabe mo go sone. Ke batla gore lo lemoge gore Modimo o humile gonne rona ba re leng ba ga Keresete re ba one.
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Ke rapelela gore lo simolole go tlhaloganya ka fa nonofo ya One e leng kgolo ka teng go thusa ba ba dumelang mo go One. Mme e ntse ke yone fela nonofo e kgolo eo,
20 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,
e e tsositseng Keresete mo baswing ya mmaya mo lefelong la tlotlo ka fa lebogong le legolo la Modimo mo legodimong,
21 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)
kwa godimo-dimo thata go feta kgosi le fa e ka ne e le efe kgotsa mmusi kgotsa molaodi yo o sa fetolweng kgotsa moeteledipele. Ee, tlotlo ya gagwe e galalela thata go feta le fa e le ya ga mang mo lefatsheng leno kgotsa mo lefatsheng le le tlang. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
Mme Modimo o beile dilo tsotlhe ka fa tlase ga dinao tsa gagwe wa bo wa mo dira Tlhogo kgolo ya phuthego,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
e e leng mmele wa gagwe, e e tladitsweng ka ene, Motlhodi le Moabi wa dilo tsotlhe gongwe le gongwe.
