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

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

²Grace to you and peace from God our Father and 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 every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:

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

⁴even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

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

⁵having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto 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, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:

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

⁷in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

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

⁸which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

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

⁹making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

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

¹⁰unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, [I say,]

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

¹¹in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

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

¹²to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

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

¹³in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the 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 an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

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

¹⁵For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which [ye show] toward 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 a 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,

¹⁸having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, 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 the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

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 made him to sit at his 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 rule, and authority, and power, 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 he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be 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.
