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:
1 Man Pool, ndawul Kirist Yeesu ci coobareg Yàlla, maa leen di bind, yéen gaayi Yàlla yu sell yi te gëm Kirist Yeesu ci dëkku Efes.
2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
3 Cant ñeel na Yàlla Baayu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, mi nu sotti ci sunu bokk ci Kirist lépp luy barkeel ci baatin te nekk ca bérab yu kawe ya.
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:
4 Ndaxte ba àddina sosoogul, tànn na nu ci Kirist, ngir nu man a teew fa kanamam, sell te ñàkk sikk. Ci kaw mbëggeelam
5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
5 séddoo na nu lu jiitu, def nu ay doomam jaarale ko ci Yeesu Kirist, ndaxte looloo doon yéene ju rafet, ji mu tëral ci coobareem.
6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
6 Na ndamam jolli ndax yiw wu réy, wi mu nu sotti ci Soppeem bi.
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
7 Moom jot na nu ak deretam ji ñu tuur, maanaam baal nu sunuy bàkkaar, ci kaw yiw wu yaatu,
8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
8 wi mu nu baawaanal. Te Yàlla sol na nu xel mu mat ak dégg,
9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
9 ci feeñal nu mbóoti coobareem, dëppook yéeneem ju rafet, ji mu jaarale ci Kirist.
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:
10 Mu tëral ne, bu jamono yi wéyee ba lépp mat, dina dajale lépp ci kilifteefu Kirist, muy ci kaw, muy ci suuf.
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:
11 Te am nanu cér ci moom bu nu Yàlla sédd lu jiitu ci dogalam, moom miy doxal lépp ci ni mu ko àttee ci coobareem.
12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
12 Noonu nuy jollil ndamam, nun ñi jëkk a wékk sunu yaakaar ci Kirist.
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,
13 Te yéen itam, bi ngeen déggee kàddug dëgg gi, di xebaar bu baax, bi leen tegtal yoonu mucc, te ngeen gëm ko, Yàlla tàmpe na leen ni ñoñam ak Xel mu Sell, mi mu dige woon.
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
14 Te Xel mi mooy dawal gi nu Yàlla jox ci cér, bi mu nu dencal, ba kera muy goreel ñi mu jotal boppam, te ñépp jollil ndamam.
15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
15 Bi ma déggee nag seen ngëm ci Boroom bi Yeesu ak seen mbëggeel ci gaayi Yàlla yu sell yépp,
16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
16 duma noppee sant Yàlla, di leen boole ci samay ñaan.
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:
17 Te li may ñaan Yàllay sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, di Baay bi yelloo ndam, mooy lii: mu sol leen xel mu xóot, te xamal leen boppam
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,
18 ci leeral seeni xol. Noonu dingeen xam yaakaaru ëllëg, ji leen Yàlla wooye, di ndam lu xel mënta daj, li nekk ci cér, bi mu dencal gaayam yu sell yi.
19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
19 Ngeen xam it, ni kàttanam màgge ba jéggi dayo, jëm ci nun ñi gëm, dëppook dooleem ju ràññiku,
20Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
20 ji mu jëfe ci Kirist, ci li mu ko dekkal, dëël ko ci ndeyjooram ca bérab yu kawe ya,
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:
21 mu tiim lu sore malaaka yépp, muy kilifa, boroom sañ-sañ, boroom doole mbaa buur, te gën a màgg wépp tur wu ñu man a tudd, muy tey, muy ëllëg.
22And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
22 Yàlla suufeel na lépp fi kanamam, def ko kilifag lépp ci mbooloom ñi gëm,
23Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
23 miy jëmmam, di matug Kirist, mi fees mbindeef mu ne ci fànn gu ne.
