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 who 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 has 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 would 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 predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

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, by which he freely bestowed favor 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 to 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.

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;

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 assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works 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 to 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 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,

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,

¹⁴who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to 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 you have 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.

¹⁶don’t cease 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 to 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 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,

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

¹⁹and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us 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 worked 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 age, 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.

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

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