Efesiana 1
1 Paoly, Apostolin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny sitrapon’ Andriamanitra, mamangy ny olona masìna any Efesosy, izay mahatoky ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy:
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin’ Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Izay nitahy antsika tao amin’ i Kristy amin’ ny fitahiam-panahy rehetra any an-danitra,
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,
4 araka ny nifidianany antsika tao aminy, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan’ izao tontolo izao, mba ho masìna sady tsy misy tsiny eo anatrehany isika,
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
5 rehefa notendreny rahateo amin’ ny fitiavana isika mba ho Azy amin’ ny fananganan’ anaka amin’ ny alalan’ i Jesosy Kristy, araka izay ankasitrahan’ ny fony,
having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 ho fiderana ny voninahitry ny fahasoavany, izay nanasoavany antsika maimaimpoana ao amin’ ny Malala.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favour in the Beloved.
7 Izy no ananantsika fanavotana amin’ ny ràny, dia ny famelana ny fahadisoantsika, araka ny haren’ ny fahasoavany,
In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 izay nataony be ho antsika tamin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fisainana rehetra,
which he made to abound towards us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 rehefa nampahafantariny ny zava-miafina ny amin’ ny sitrapony isika, araka ny safidiny izay nokasain’ ny tenany,
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 hahatanterahany ny fitondrana hatao mandra-pahatapitry ny andro voatendry, hanangonany ny zavatra rehetra ho iray ao amin’ i Kristy, na ny any an-danitra, na ny etỳ an-tany, dia ho ao aminy;
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.
11 ao aminy koa no nanaovana antsika ho lovany, rehefa notendrena rahateo isika araka ny fikasan’ izay mahefa ny zavatra rehetra araka ny ankasitrahan’ ny fony,
We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
12 mba ho fiderana ny voninahiny izahay, izay nanantena an’ i Kristy rahateo.
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
13 Ao aminy koa ianareo, rehefa renareo ny tenin’ ny fahamarinana, dia ny filazantsara famonjena anareo, ― eny, ao aminy koa ianareo, rehefa nino, no nasiana tombo-kase tamin’ ny Fanahy Masìna araka ny teny fikasana.
In him 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 promised Holy Spirit,
14 Izany Fanahy izany no santatry ny lovantsika ho amin’ ny fanavotana ny olona izay nahiny ho an’ ny tenany, ho fiderana ny voninahiny.
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Ary noho izany izaho koa, rehefa nandre ny finoanareo an’ i Jesosy Tompo izay hitan’ ny olona masìna rehetra,
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is amongst you and the love which you have towards all the saints,
16 dia tsy mitsahatra misaotra noho ny aminareo ka mahatsiaro anareo amin’ ny fivavahako,
don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 mba homen’ Andriamanitr’ i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain’ ny voninahitra, ho anareo ny fanahin’ ny fahendrena sy ny fanambarana amin’ ny fahalalana Azy tsara,
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 ary mba hampahiratina ny mason’ ny sainareo, mba ho fantatrareo izay fanantenana avy amin’ ny fiantsoany sy izay haren’ ny voninahitry ny lovany eo amin’ ny olona masìna,
having the eyes of your hearts 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,
19 ary ny fihoaran’ ny halehiben’ ny heriny ho antsika izay mino, araka ny fiàsan’ ny herin’ ny faherezany,
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 izay nataony tao amin’ i Kristy tamin’ ny nananganany Azy tamin’ ny maty sy ny nampitoerany Azy eo amin’ ny tànany ankavanana any an-danitra,
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,
21 ambony lavitra noho ny fanapahana rehetra sy ny fahefana sy ny hery sy ny fanjakana ary ny anarana rehetra izay tononina, tsy amin’ izao fiainana izao ihany, fa amin’ ny ho avy koa, (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 dia nampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony Izy ka nanao Azy ho Lohany manapaka ny zavatra rehetra ho an’ ny fiangonana,
He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
23 izay tenany, dia ny fahafenoan’ izay mameno izao zavatra rehetra izao amin’ ny rehetra.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
