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

²ho aminareo anie ny fahasoavana sy ny fiadanana avy amin'Andriamanitra Raintsika sy Jesosy Kristy Tompo.

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

³Isaorana anie Andriamanitra, Rain'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Izay nitahy antsika tao amin'i Kristy amin'ny fitahiam-panahy rehetra any an-danitra,

³Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

⁴araka ny nifidianany antsika tao aminy, fony tsy mbola ary ny fanorenan'izao tontolo izao, mba ho masina sady tsy misy tsiny eo anatrehany isika,

⁴according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

⁵rehefa notendreny rahateo amin'ny fitiavana isika mba ho Azy amin'ny fananganan'anaka amin'ny alalan'i Jesosy Kristy, araka izay ankasitrahan'ny fony, [ Na: amin'ny fitiavana, rehefa notendreny rahateo ho Azy isika]

⁵having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

⁶ho fiderana ny voninahitry ny fahasoavany, izay nanasoavany antsika maimaimpoana ao amin'ny Malala.

⁶to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,

⁷Izy no ananantsika fanavotana amin'ny ràny, dia ny famelana ny fahadisoantsika, araka ny haren'ny fahasoavany,

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

⁸izay nataony be ho antsika tamin'ny fahendrena sy ny fisainana rehetra,

⁸in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

⁹rehefa nampahafantariny ny zava-miafina ny amin'ny sitrapony isika, araka ny safidiny izay nokasain'ny tenany,

⁹having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,

¹⁰hahatanterahany 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; [ Na: hanangonany indray]

¹⁰in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;

¹¹ao aminy koa no nanaovana antsika ho lovany, rehefa notendrena rahateo isika araka ny fikasan'izay mahefa ny zavatra rehetra araka ny ankasitrahan'ny fony, [ Na: no nandraisantsika ny lova]

¹¹in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,

¹²mba ho fiderana ny voninahiny izahay, izay nanantena an'i Kristy rahateo.

¹²for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,

¹³Ao 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 Masina araka ny teny fikasana.

¹³in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

¹⁴Izany Fanahy izany no santatry ny lovantsika ho amin'ny fanavotana ny olona izay nahiny ho an'ny tenany, ho fiderana ny voninahiny.

¹⁴which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.

¹⁵[Fivavahana ho an'ny Kristiana tao Efesosy mba handrosoany hahalala ny hatsaran'ny famonjena, sy fampahatsiarovana azy ny halehiben'ny fitiavan'Andriamanitra] Ary noho izany izaho koa, rehefa nandre ny finoanareo an'i Jesosy Tompo izay hitan'ny olona masina rehetra, [ Na: (ny finoanareo an'i Jesosy Tompo sy ny fitiavanareo)]

¹⁵Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,

¹⁶dia tsy mitsahatra misaotra noho ny aminareo ka mahatsiaro anareo amin'ny fivavahako,

¹⁶do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

¹⁷mba homen'Andriamanitr'i Jesosy Kristy Tompontsika, Rain'ny voninahitra, ho anareo ny fanahin'ny fahendrena sy ny fanambarana amin'ny fahalalana Azy tsara,

¹⁷that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,

¹⁸ary 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 masina,

¹⁸the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

¹⁹ary ny fihoaran'ny halehiben'ny heriny ho antsika izay mino, araka ny fiàsan'ny herin'ny faherezany,

¹⁹and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

²⁰izay nataony tao amin'i Kristy tamin'ny nananganany Azy tamin'ny maty sy ny nampitoerany Azy eo amin'ny tànany ankavanana any an-danitra,

²⁰which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],

²¹ambony 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,

²¹far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;

²²dia nampanaiky ny zavatra rehetra ho eo ambanin'ny tongony Izy ka nanao Azy ho Lohany manapaka ny zavatra rehetra ho an'ny fiangonana, [ Gr. eklesia]izay tenany, dia ny fahafenoan'izay mameno izao zavatra rehetra izao amin'ny rehetra.

²²and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,

²³izay tenany, dia ny fahafenoan'izay mameno izao zavatra rehetra izao amin'ny rehetra.

²³which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
