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:
2 Na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.
2Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
3 Cant ñeel na Yàlla Baayu sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, mi nu sotti ci sunu bokk ci Kirist lépp luy barkeel ci baatin te nekk ca bérab yu kawe ya.
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,
4 Ndaxte ba àddina sosoogul, tànn na nu ci Kirist, ngir nu man a teew fa kanamam, sell te ñàkk sikk. Ci kaw mbëggeelam
4according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
5 séddoo na nu lu jiitu, def nu ay doomam jaarale ko ci Yeesu Kirist, ndaxte looloo doon yéene ju rafet, ji mu tëral ci coobareem.
5having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6 Na ndamam jolli ndax yiw wu réy, wi mu nu sotti ci Soppeem bi.
6to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
7 Moom jot na nu ak deretam ji ñu tuur, maanaam baal nu sunuy bàkkaar, ci kaw yiw wu yaatu,
7in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
8 wi mu nu baawaanal. Te Yàlla sol na nu xel mu mat ak dégg,
8in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 ci feeñal nu mbóoti coobareem, dëppook yéeneem ju rafet, ji mu jaarale ci Kirist.
9having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
10 Mu tëral ne, bu jamono yi wéyee ba lépp mat, dina dajale lépp ci kilifteefu Kirist, muy ci kaw, muy ci suuf.
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;
11 Te am nanu cér ci moom bu nu Yàlla sédd lu jiitu ci dogalam, moom miy doxal lépp ci ni mu ko àttee ci coobareem.
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,
12 Noonu nuy jollil ndamam, nun ñi jëkk a wékk sunu yaakaar ci Kirist.
12for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
13 Te yéen itam, bi ngeen déggee kàddug dëgg gi, di xebaar bu baax, bi leen tegtal yoonu mucc, te ngeen gëm ko, Yàlla tàmpe na leen ni ñoñam ak Xel mu Sell, mi mu dige woon.
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,
14 Te Xel mi mooy dawal gi nu Yàlla jox ci cér, bi mu nu dencal, ba kera muy goreel ñi mu jotal boppam, te ñépp jollil ndamam.
14which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Bi ma déggee nag seen ngëm ci Boroom bi Yeesu ak seen mbëggeel ci gaayi Yàlla yu sell yépp,
15Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
16 duma noppee sant Yàlla, di leen boole ci samay ñaan.
16do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Te li may ñaan Yàllay sunu Boroom Yeesu Kirist, di Baay bi yelloo ndam, mooy lii: mu sol leen xel mu xóot, te xamal leen boppam
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,
18 ci leeral seeni xol. Noonu dingeen xam yaakaaru ëllëg, ji leen Yàlla wooye, di ndam lu xel mënta daj, li nekk ci cér, bi mu dencal gaayam yu sell yi.
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,
19 Ngeen xam it, ni kàttanam màgge ba jéggi dayo, jëm ci nun ñi gëm, dëppook dooleem ju ràññiku,
19and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
20 ji mu jëfe ci Kirist, ci li mu ko dekkal, dëël ko ci ndeyjooram ca bérab yu kawe ya,
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],
21 mu tiim lu sore malaaka yépp, muy kilifa, boroom sañ-sañ, boroom doole mbaa buur, te gën a màgg wépp tur wu ñu man a tudd, muy tey, muy ëllëg.
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;
22 Yàlla suufeel na lépp fi kanamam, def ko kilifag lépp ci mbooloom ñi gëm,
22and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
23 miy jëmmam, di matug Kirist, mi fees mbindeef mu ne ci fànn gu ne.
23which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
