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

Naku, na Paora, i paingia e te Atua hei Apotoro ma Ihu Karaiti, ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Epeha, ara ki te hunga whakapono i roto i a Karaiti Ihu:

2 G race be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua, na to tatou Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti.

3 ¶ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things in Christ;

Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, nana nei tatou i manaaki ki nga manaaki katoa o te wairua ki nga wahi o te rangi, i roto i a te Karaiti:

4 a ccording as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in charity;

I runga i te tikanga i whiriwhiria ai tatou e ia i roto i a ia i mua i te orokohanganga o te ao, hei hunga tapu, kahakore i tona aroaro, i runga i te aroha.

5 h aving marked out beforehand the way for us to be adopted as sons by Jesus Christ in himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

He mea whakarite hoki tatou nana i mua, hei tama mana, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti, ko ta tona whakaaro hoki i pai ai,

6 t o the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved;

Hei whakamoemiti mo te kororia o tona aroha noa, i atawhaitia ai tatou i roto i tana i aroha ai.

7 i n whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace,

Kei roto nei i a ia to tatou whakaoranga i runga i ona toto, ara te murunga o nga he; he hua hoki no tona aroha noa,

8 w hich has over abounded in us in all wisdom and prudence;

I hira rawa nei ki a tatou i runga i nga whakaaro nui, i nga whakaaro mohio katoa;

9 h aving made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself,

Whakakitea mai ana hoki e ia ki a tatou tana whakaaro ngaro, tana hoki i ahuareka ai, tana i whakatakoto ai i mua i roto i a ia,

10 t hat in the dispensation of the fulfillment of the times he might restore all things by the Christ, both those which are in heaven and those which are on earth,

Mo te tikanga ina rite nga wa, kia huihuia nga mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti, nga mea i te rangi, me nga mea i te whenua; i roto ano i a ia,

11 i n him in whom likewise we have obtained an inheritance, having had the way marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will,

I whakawhiwhia nei matou i roto i a ia, he mea whakarite i mua i runga i tana i whakatakoto ai, e mahia ana hoki e ia nga mea katoa i runga i ta tona whakaaro i pai ai:

12 s o that we should be to the praise of his glory, those of us who first trusted in the Christ.

Kia ai matou hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia, ara matou, te hunga kua tumanako wawe ki a te Karaiti.

13 I n whom ye also trusted, hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your saving health; in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of the promise,

Me koutou hoki tumanako ana ano koutou ki a ia, i to koutou rongonga ki te kupu o te pono, ki te rongopai o to koutou ora: a, i to koutou whakaponotanga ki a ia, na hiritia ana koutou e te Wairua Tapu i korerotia mai i mua:

14 w hich is the earnest of our inheritance unto the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Hei taumau i nga taonga mo tatou, kia whakaorangia ra ano ta te Atua mea i hokona, hei whakamoemiti mo tona kororia.

15 ¶ Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and charity unto all the saints,

Na konei ahau, i toku rongonga ki to koutou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Ihu, ki te aroha ano hoki ki te hunga tapu katoa,

16 c ease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

Kahore e mutu taku whakawhetai mo koutou, me te whakahua ano i a koutou i aku inoinga;

17 t hat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

Kia homai ki a koutou e te Atua o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, e te Matua o te kororia, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te whakakitenga i runga i te mohio ki a ia:

18 i lluminating the eyes of your understanding, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints

Kia whakamaramatia nga kanohi o to koutou hinengaro; kia matau ai koutou ki te mea o tana karanga e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te kororia nui hoki o tona taonga i roto i te hunga tapu,

19 a nd what is the exceeding greatness of his power in us who believe, by the operation of the power of his strength,

Ki te nui whakaharahara hoki o tona kaha ki a tatou ki te hunga e whakapono nei, i runga i te mahinga a te mana o tona kaha,

20 w hich operated in the Christ, raising him from the dead and setting him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

I mahi ai ia i roto i a te Karaiti i tana whakaarahanga i a ia i te hunga mate, a whakanohoia ana ia ki tona matau, ki nga wahi i te rangi,

21 f ar above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come,

Ki runga ake i nga kawanatanga katoa, i te mana, i te kaha, i te rangatiratanga, i nga ingoa katoa hoki e whakahuatia ana, ehara i te mea ko o tenei ao anake, ko o tera ao ano hoki:

22 A nd has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the congregation,

A tukua ana e ia nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae, meinga ana hoki ia hei i runga i nga mea katoa mo te hahi,

23 w hich is his body, and he is the fullness of her: who fills all things in everyone.

Ara mo tona tinana, e ki tonu nei i a ia, i te kaiwhakaki o nga mea katoa i roto i te katoa.
