Ephesians

¹From Paul, an apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus and are faithful in Jesus Christ. ²Peace to you, and grace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. ³Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ Jesus with every blessing of the Holy Spirit in the heavens. ⁴He chose us for himself before the world was created, to make us holy and pure and blameless before him. ⁵In love he appointed us to be adopted as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, ⁶for the honor and praise of his grace, which he freely gave us in his beloved Son. ⁷Through him we have found salvation, and our sins have been forgiven by his blood, according to the riches of his grace, ⁸which he poured out on us in all wisdom and understanding. ⁹He showed us the plan of his will, according to the good pleasure he set out for us through him. ¹⁰He measured out the time until it should be fulfilled, so that everything in heaven and on earth would be made new. ¹¹God gave us our share by what he appointed for us, and he helped us according to the plan of his will, ¹²to give counsel and glory to those of us who have trusted in Christ Jesus. ¹³You too heard the word of truth, the teaching of your life. You believed, and you were sealed with the Holy Spirit he had promised. ¹⁴He is the pledge of our inheritance and of the salvation of our life, to the honor of his glory. ¹⁵For this reason, since I have heard of your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and of how you love all the saints, ¹⁶I never stop giving thanks for you and remembering you in my prayers. ¹⁷I pray that God, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give you a spirit of wisdom and reveal himself to you so that you know him. ¹⁸May he enlighten the eyes of your hearts, so that you may know what is the hope of your calling and what are the riches of the glory of the saints' inheritance, ¹⁹and what is the surpassing strength of his power at work in us who believe, according to the greatness of his power that he worked in Christ. ²⁰He raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavens, ²¹high above all angels and rulers and powers and lords, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come. ²²He put everything in subjection under his feet. And he made him, who is over all things, head of the church, which is his body. ²³He is the completion of all things, and he fills everything in every way. ²⁴ወጸጋሁ፡ ምስለ፡ ኵሎሙ፡ እለ፡ ያፈቅርዎ፡ ለእግዚእነ፡ ኢየሱስ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ በኢ፡ ጥፍአት፡ አሜን። ²⁵ዕደውኒ፡ ያፍቅሩ፡ አንስቲያሆሙ። ከመ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ አፍቀራ፡ ለቤተ፡ ክርስቲያን፡ ወመጠወ፡ ርእሶ፡ በእንቲኣሃ። ²⁶ከመ፡ ይቀድሳ፡ ወያንጽሓ፡ በጥምቀት፡ ማይ፡ ወበቃሉ። ²⁷ወይረስያ፡ ሎቱ፡ ክብርተ፡ ለቤተ፡ ክርስትያኑ። ከመ፡ ኢይርከብ፡ በላዕሌሃ፡ ርስሐተ፡ ወጥልቀተ። ዳእሙ፡ ከመ፡ ትኩን፡ ንጽሕተ፡ ወቅድስተ። ²⁸ከማሁ፡ ዕደውኒ፡ ያፍቅሩ፡ አንስቲያሆሙ፡ ከመ፡ ነፍሶሙ። ዘአፍቀረ፡ ብእሲቶ፡ ርእሶ፡ አፍቀረ። ወአልቦ፡ ዘይክል፡ ጸሊአ፡ ሥጋሁ፡ ግሙራ። ²⁹ሴስዩ፡ ወተማሕፀኑ፡ በከመ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ ለቤተ፡ ክርስቲያኑ። ³⁰እስመ፡ አባለ፡ ሥጋሁ፡ ይእቲ። ³¹ወበእንተ፡ ዝ፡ የኀድግ፡ ብእሲ፡ አባሁ፡ ወእሞ፡ ወይተልዋ፡ ለብእሲቱ። ወይከውኑ፡ ክልኤሆሙ፡ አሐደ፡ ሥጋ። ³²ዐቢይ፡ ውእቱ፡ ዝ፡ ነገር። ወአንሰ፡ እብሎ፡ ላዕለ፡ ክርስቶስ፡ ወላዕለ፡ ቤተ፡ ክርስቲያኑ። ³³ወባሕቱ፡ አንትሙኒ፡ ኵልክሙ፡ ከማሁ፡ አንስቲያክሙ፡ አፍቅሩ፡ ከመ፡ ነፍስክሙ። ወብእሲትኒ፡ ትፍርሆ፡ ለምታ። *በእንተ፡ ውሉድ፡ ወአበው*
