¹Pauxlo, apostolo de Jesuo Kristo per la volo de Dio, al la sanktuloj, kiuj estas en Efeso, kaj al la fideluloj en Kristo Jesuo:

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

²Graco estu al vi kaj paco de Dio, nia Patro, kaj de la Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo.

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

³Benata estu la Dio kaj Patro de nia Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo, kiu benis nin per cxia beno spirita en la cxielejoj en Kristo;

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

⁴kiel Li elektis nin en li antaux la fondo de la mondo, por ke ni estu sanktaj kaj senmakulaj antaux Li en amo;

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

⁵antauxdestininte nin por filadopto per Jesuo Kristo al Si mem, laux la aprobo de Sia volo,

⁵having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

⁶al la lauxdo de la gloro de Lia graco, per kiu Li favoris nin en la Amata;

⁶to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,

⁷en kiu ni havas la elacxeton per lia sango, la pardonon de niaj pekoj, laux la ricxo de lia graco,

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

⁸kiun li abundigis al ni en cxia sagxeco kaj prudento,

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

⁹sciiginte al ni la misteron de Lia volo, laux Lia bonvolo, kiun Li antauxdecidis en li,

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

¹⁰por dispono en la pleneco de la tempo, por sumigi en Kristo cxion, kio estas en la cxieloj kaj sur la tero;

¹⁰to 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;

¹¹en li, en kiu ni farigxis heredajxo, destinite laux la antauxdecido de Tiu, kiu cxion faras laux la intenco de Sia volo;

¹¹in 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;

¹²por ke ni estu por la lauxdo de Lia gloro, ni, kiuj antauxe esperis en Kristo;

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

¹³en kiu vi ankaux esperas, auxdinte la vorton de la vero, la evangelion de via savo; al kiu ankaux kredinte, vi estas sigelitaj per la Sankta Spirito de promeso,

¹³in 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,

¹⁴kiu estas antauxgarantiajxo de nia heredajxo, por la elacxeto de la posedajxo, por lauxdo de Lia gloro.

¹⁴who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

¹⁵Pro tio mi ankaux, auxdinte pri via fido al la Sinjoro Jesuo, kaj via amo al cxiuj sanktuloj,

¹⁵For 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,

¹⁶ne cxesas danki pro vi, vin nomante en miaj pregxoj;

¹⁶don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁷por ke la Dio de nia Sinjoro Jesuo Kristo, la Patro de gloro, donu al vi spiriton de sagxeco kaj malkasxo en la konado de Li;

¹⁷that 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;

¹⁸dum la okuloj de via koro estas lumigataj, por ke vi sciu, kia estas la espero de Lia voko, kaj kia la ricxeco de la gloro de Lia heredajxo en la sanktuloj,

¹⁸having the eyes of your hearts TR reads “understanding” instead of “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,

¹⁹kaj kia la supermezura grandeco de Lia potenco al ni, kiuj kredas, laux la energio de la efikeco de Lia forto,

¹⁹and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

²⁰kiun Li faris en Kristo, relevante lin el la mortintoj, kaj sidigante lin dekstre de Li en la cxieloj,

²⁰which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

²¹multe super cxiu reganto kaj auxtoritato kaj potenco kaj regeco, kaj cxiu nomo nomata, ne nur en cxi tiu mondo, sed ankaux en la estonta;

²¹far 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.

²²kaj cxion Li metis sub liajn piedojn, kaj donis lin kiel kapon super cxio por la eklezio,

²²He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,

²³kiu estas lia korpo, la pleneco de Tiu, kiu plenigas cxion en cxio.

²³which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
