¹Sura toi ngkai aku', Paulus, suro Kristus Yesus ntuku' konoa Alata'ala, kupakatu tilou hi koi' to Kristen to hi Efesus, to tida mepangala' hi Kristus Yesus.

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

²Wori' tabe: mekakae-a hi Alata'ala Tuama-ta pai' Pue' Yesus Kristus, bona nagane' -koi ngkai kabula rala-na pai' nawai' -koi kalompea' tuwu'.

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

³Mai-tamo mpo'une' Alata'ala, Tuama-na Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus! Apa' nagane' -tamo hante butu nyala gane' to lompe' hi rala suruga, ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Kristus.

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:

⁴Kako'ia-na dunia' toi rapajadi', napelihi ami' -tamo jadi' mosidai' hante Kristus, bona kita' jadi' bagia-na to uma ria kasalaia' -na hi poncilo-na.

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:

⁵Ngkai owi napakatantu ami' -mi kana'ongko' -nata jadi' ana' -na, ngkai kanape'ahi' -ta. Na'ongko' -ta jadi' ana' -na hante petauntongoi' -na Yesus Kristus, apa' toe-mi konoa-na pai' kabotu' -na ngkai lomo' -na.

⁵having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁶Toe pai' masipato' ta'une' -i Alata'ala, apa' uma mowo kabohe ahi' -na hi kita'. Ngkai kabula rala-na nawai' maraa-ta ahi' -na toe ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Yesus, Ana' -na to nape'ahi'.

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

⁷Ngkai raa' kamate-na Yesus pai' ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Hi'a, Alata'ala mpotolo' -ta, na'ampungi sala' -ta ngkai kabula rala-na to bohe lia.

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

⁸Napopohiloi-ta ahi' -na to uma ria huka' -na, nanotohi nono-ta pai' napopo'incai-ta hawe'ea patuju-na.

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

¹⁰Ntuku' konoa-na moto, napopo'incai-ta patuju-na to uma ra'incai manusia' ngkai owi. Patuju-na toe: bona butu nyala-na, lompe' to hi suruga ba to hi dunia', napopohintuwu' hi posidai' -ra hante Kristus, pai' Kristus-mi to jadi' hewa Woo' ngkai butu nyala-na. Ngkai owi Alata'ala mpakatantu ami' -mi patuju-na to nababehi hante Kristus toe, pai' patuju-na toe bate napadupa' ane rata-pi tempo-na.

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

¹¹Alata'ala mpobabehi butu nyala-na ntuku' konoa-na pai' kabotu' -na moto. Ngkai lomo' kajadi' dunia' napelihi-tamo pai' napakatantu ami' -mi kakita' -na to jadi' bagia-na ngkai posidaia' -ta hante Kristus.

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,]

¹²Toe pai' masipato' lia Alata'ala ra'une' pai' rapomobohe sabana kabohe ahi' -na hi kai' to Yahudi, apa' kai' -mi to ri'ulu mposarumaka Kristus.

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;

¹³Wae wo'o koi', napobagia Alata'ala wo'o-moko-koiwo. Apa' kampo'epe-ni Kareba to makono, nipangala' -mi Kareba Lompe' toe, pai' nahore-mokoi Alata'ala ngkai huku' jeko' -ni. Pai' ngkai posidaia' -ni hante Kristus, Alata'ala mpowai' -koi Inoha' Tomoroli' to najanci owi. Inoha' Tomoroli' toei hewa saa' hi rala nono-ta, apa' Hi'a to jadi' pompetonoi-na kakita' -na bagia-na Alata'ala.

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

¹⁴Alata'ala mpowai' -ta Inoha' Tomoroli' bona mporohoi janci-na hi kita', bona monoto hi kita' kanawai' -ta wo'o mpai' hawe'ea to najanci-taka. Nawai' -ta hawe'ea to najanci-taka toe hi eo mpeno-na. Nto'u toe mpai', nabahaka-ta ngkai dunia' to dada'a toi, pai' -ta na'ongko' hilou hi suruga, apa' lawi' kita' bagia-na. Toe pai' masipato' lia ta'une' pai' tapomobohe-i Alata'ala.

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,

¹⁵Jadi', ane kupenonoi hawe'ea rasi' to nirata-mi toe-e ompi', uma mowo pontarima kasi-ku hi Alata'ala. Kaku'epe-na kareba to mpo'uli' kamepangala' -nimi hi Pue' Yesus pai' kama'ahi' -ni hi hawe'ea tauna to mpopangala' Pue' Yesus,

¹⁴which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

¹⁶uma-a putu mpo'uli' tarima kasi hi Alata'ala sabana koi', pai' kukahangai' oa' -koi hi rala posampaya-ku.

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,

¹⁷Mekakae-a hi Alata'ala, Tuama-na Pue' -ta Yesus Kristus pai' Tuama-ta to bohe hanga' -na, kuperapi' bona nanotohi nono-ni hante baraka' Inoha' Tomoroli', duu' -na ni'inca mpu'u-i Alata'ala.

¹⁶cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;

¹⁸Kuperapi' bona nabajahi nono-ni, bona ni'inca beiwa kalompe' -na rasi' to nisarumaka ngkai Alata'ala to mpokio' -koi jadi' ana' -na. Kuperapi' bona nabajahi nono-ni bona ni'inca ka'uma-na mowo kabohe rasi' to naporodo ami' -mi hi hawe'ea tauna to napo'ana',

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;

¹⁹pai' bona ni'inca wo'o ka'uma-na mowo baraka' -na mpotulungi-ta to mepangala' hi Hi'a. Baraka' -na toe hibalia hante karoho-na pai' kuasa-na to bohe lia

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,

²⁰to napake' mpopemata Kristus ngkai kamatea pai' mpopohura-i hi mali ka'ana-na hi rala suruga.

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

²¹Kuasa to nawai' -ki Kristus toe, meliu kabohe-na ngkai kuasa hawe'ea topoparenta, hawe'ea to mokuasa, hawe'ea to mobaraka', pai' hawe'ea to rapue'. Kuasa to nawai' -ki Kristus toe meliu kabohe-na ngkai hawe'ea to mporata huraa to molangko, uma muntu' hi to tuwu' tempo toi, tapi' hante to tuwu' hi eo mpeno wo'o.

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],

²²Hawe'ea to ria, Alata'ala mpopengkoru hi Kristus, pai' na'ongko' -i jadi' Pangkeni to mpoparentai hawe'ea tauna to mpopangala' -i. Kristus Woo' -ta,

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:

²³pai' kita' Woto-na. Hawe'ea to ria hi Hi'a, ria wo'o hi kita' ntodea-na. Pai' Hi'a-mi to mpokuasai butu nyala-na hiapa-apa.

²²and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

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