¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

¹Paulus, Jumala tahtmisel Kristuse Jeesuse apostel - pühadele, kes on Efesoses, ja usklikele Kristuses Jeesuses:

²Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

²Armu teile ja rahu Jumalalt, meie Isalt, ja Issandalt Jeesuselt Kristuselt!

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

³Kiidetud olgu Jumal ja meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Isa, kes meid on taevast õnnistanud kõige vaimuliku õnnistusega Kristuses;

⁴According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

⁴nõnda nagu tema on meid Kristuses valinud enne maailma rajamist olema pühad ja laitmatud tema palge ees armastuses,

⁵Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁵meid ette määrates lapseõiguse osalisteks Jeesuse Kristuse kaudu enese juurde oma tahtmise heameelt mööda,

⁶To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

⁶tema armu kirkuse kiituseks, mille ta meile on kinkinud selles Armastatus.

⁷In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

⁷Temas on meil lunastus tema vere läbi, üleastumiste andekssaamine tema armu rikkust mööda,

⁸Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

⁸millega ta meid on ülirikkalikuks teinud kõiges tarkuses ja arukuses,

⁹Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

⁹tema on teatanud meile oma tahtmise saladuse oma hea nõu kohaselt, mille ta Kristuses oli kavandanud

¹⁰That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

¹⁰aegade täiuse korraldamiseks, et Kristuses võtta kokku kõik, mis on taevas ja mis on maa peal.

¹¹In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

¹¹Temas oleme ka meie saanud liisuosa ettemääratult kõiges toimivat kavandamist mööda tema tahtmise nõu järgi,

¹²That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

¹²et me oleksime tema kirkuse kiituseks, kes me varem oleme lootnud Kristusele.

¹³In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

¹³Temas olete ka teie sellest ajast peale, mil te saite kuulda tõe sõna, oma pääste evangeeliumi; ja kelles teiegi, saanud usklikuks, olete kinnitatud tõotatud Püha Vaimu pitseriga; selle Vaimu,

¹⁴Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

¹⁴kes on meie pärandi tagatis omandi lunastamiseni - tema kirkuse kiituseks.

¹⁵Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

¹⁵Seepärast ka mina, kui ma sain kuulda teie usust Issandasse Jeesusesse ja armastusest kõigi pühade vastu,

¹⁶Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

¹⁶ei lakka tänamast teie eest, teid oma palvetes meenutades,

¹⁷That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

¹⁷et meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse Jumal, kirkuse Isa, teile annaks tarkuse ja ilmutuse Vaimu tema äratundmisel,

¹⁸The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

¹⁸valgustades teie südame silmi, et te teaksite, milline lootus on tema kutsumises, milline on tema pärandi kirkuse rikkus pühade sees

¹⁹And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

¹⁹ja milline on tema väe võrratu suurus meie heaks, kes me usume tema tugevuse jõu mõjul.

²⁰Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

²⁰See sai tegevaks Kristuses, kui ta tema üles äratas surnuist ja pani istuma oma paremale käele taevas,

²¹Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

²¹kõrgele üle iga valitsuse ja meelevalla ja väe ja ülemuse ning üle iga nime, mida nimetatakse mitte üksnes nüüdsel, vaid ka tulevasel ajastul,

²²And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

²²ja ta alistas tema jalge alla kõik ning pani tema kõigi asjade üle peaks kogudusele,

²³Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

²³kes on tema ihu, tema täius, kes täidab kõik kõiges.
