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

¹Lâin laj Pablo. Lâin x-apóstol li Jesucristo xban nak jo'can quiraj li Dios. Yôquin chixtz'îbanquil li hu a'in êriq'uin lâex laj pâbanel li cuanquex Efeso. Yôquin chi tz'îbac êriq'uin chêjunilex lâex li nequeq'ue êch'ôl chixpâbanquil li Jesucristo.

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

²Chicuânk taxak êriq'uin li ruxtân ut li tuktûquil usilal li naxq'ue li Dios li kaYucua' ut li naxq'ue li Kâcua' Jesucristo.

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;

³Lok'oninbil taxak li Dios lix Yucua' li Kâcua' Jesucristo. Xban nak junajo chic riq'uin li Cristo, li Dios naxq'ue chak ke chixjunil li kosobtesinquil li nachal chak sa' choxa.

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;

⁴Nak toj mâji' naxyîb chak li ruchich'och' li Dios, ac sic'bil chak ku xban sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo, re nak tîcak li kayu'am ut mâc'a'ak chic kamâc.

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

⁵Xban nak nocoxra, jo'can nak quixsic' chak ku re nak lâako chic li ralal xc'ajol sa' xc'aba' li Jesucristo. Quixbânu chi jo'can xban nak jo'can quiraj.

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

⁶Jo'can nak chikalok'onihak ru li Dios xban nak yal chi mâtan quiruxtâna ku nak quixtakla chak li Ralal li k'axal raro xban.

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

⁷K'axal numtajenak li rusilal li Dios li quixq'ue ke xban nak riq'uin xcamic li Jesucristo, cuan kacolbal ut cuybil sachbil chic li kamâc.

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

⁸Li rusilal quixq'ue ke chi numtajenak xq'uial ut quixq'ue kana'leb re nak takatau ru lix yâlal.

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

⁹Ut quixc'utbesi chiku li na'leb li mukmu nak quicuan chak junxil, a' li qui-ala sa' xch'ôl xbânunquil nak quixtakla chak li Jesucristo.

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;

¹⁰Tâcuulak xk'ehil nak tâtz'aklok ru chixjunil jo' naraj li Dios. Tixjunaji chixjunil li c'a'ru cuan jo' sa' choxa jo' sa' ruchich'och'. Ut a' chic li Cristo tâjolomînk re chixjunil.

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;

¹¹Lâo aj judío sic'bil ku xban li Dios chok' ralal xc'ajol sa' xc'aba' li Cristo. A'in qui-uxman xban nak jo'can quiraj li Dios ut xban nak a'an yal re sa' xbên chixjunil.

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

¹²Quixbânu chi jo'can re nak lok'oninbilak ru kaban lâo li co-oybenin re li Cristo nak toj mâji' nac'ulun sa' ruchich'och'.

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,

¹³Ut jo'can ajcui' lâex li mâcua'ex aj judío. Nak xerabi lix yâlal li colba-ib, lâex xepâb li Cristo ut xec'ul li Santil Musik'ej, li quiyechi'îc êre chok' retalil nak lâex chic li ralal xc'ajol.

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

¹⁴Li Santil Musik'ej quiq'uehe' ke chok' retalil nak takac'ul chixjunil li yechi'inbil ke xban li Dios ut tâtz'aklok ru li kacolbal. Jo'can nak lok'oninbilak ru riq'uin lix nimal xcuanquilal.

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,

¹⁵Lâin xcuabi resil nak chi anchal êch'ôl nequepâb li Kâcua' Jesucristo ut xcuabi resil nak nequera lê rech aj pâbanelil.

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

¹⁶Jo'can nak junelic ninbantioxin chiru li Dios ut yôquin chi tijoc chêrix.

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;

¹⁷Nintijoc chiru li nimajcual Dios, lix yucua' li Kâcua' Jesucristo, ut nintz'âma chiru nak tixq'ue êna'leb re nak têtau ru chi tz'akal lix na'leb li Dios ut re nak têtau ru lix yâlal chi us.

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,

¹⁸Nintz'âma chiru li Dios nak tixq'ue êna'leb re nak têtau ru c'a'ru lê lok'laj mâtan li yôquex chiroybeninquil xban nak sic'bil êru xban li Dios. Têc'ul lê mâtan êrochbeneb chixjunileb laj pâbanel.

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

¹⁹Ut nintz'âma ajcui' chiru li Dios nak tixq'ue êna'leb re nak tênau nak k'axal nim lix cuanquil sa' kabên lâo li nocopâban re.

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,

²⁰Ut a'an ajcui' lix nimal xcuanquil li quicuaclesin re li Cristo chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak ut quixc'ojob sa' xnim uk' li Dios aran sa' li santil choxa ut quixq'ue xcuanquil.

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.

²¹K'axal nim xcuanquil li Cristo sa' xbêneb chixjunileb li ángel ut li mâus aj musik'ej ut sa' xbêneb li cuanqueb xcuanquil chi taklânc sa' choxa jo' sa' ruchich'och'. K'axal nim sa' xbên chixjunil li c'a'ak re ru li cuanqueb xcuanquil anakcuan ut chi junelic k'e cutan.

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

²²Li Dios quixq'ue chixjunil rubel xcuanquil li Cristo ut quixq'ue li Cristo chi jolomînc reheb laj pâbanel ut a'an chic yal re sa' xbêneb.Li Cristo a'an li najolomin ke lâo aj pâbanel.

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

²³Li Cristo a'an li najolomin ke lâo aj pâbanel. Ut lâo chanchano li rok ruk' nak cuanco. Junak li tz'ejcualej moco tz'akal ta re ru cui mâc'a' lix jolom.
