1 Paul Iaincoaren vorondatez Iesus Christen Apostoluac Iesus Christ Iaunean Ephesen diraden sainduey eta fideley:
I, Paul, am an apostle whom God appointed (to represent/to proclaim the message about) Christ Jesus because that is what God wanted. [I am writing this letter] to you who are the people of God in Ephesus [city. You are people who] (faithfully/continue to) trust in Christ Jesus and who have a close relationship with him.
2 Gratia dela çuequin eta baquea Iainco gure Aitaganic, eta Iesus Christ Iaunaganic.
[I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will continue to act kindly toward you and cause you to have [inner] peace.

Before God created the world, he chose us to be his people because of our (relationship with/union with) Christ, in order that [God could consider] us to be completely holy [DOU]. Because [God] loves [us],
5 Ceinec predestinatu vkan baiquaitu bere baithan adopta guençançát Iesus Christez, bere vorondatearen placer onaren araura,
he decided long ago that he would adopt us to be [as though we were] his own children because of what Jesus Christ [has done]. He decided to do that because it pleased him to do that.
6 Bere gratiazco gloriaren laudoriotan, ceinez bere gogaraco eguin baiquaitu bere maitean.
He did it in order that we would praise him for acting very kindly toward us in a wonderful way that we did not deserve. He did it because of our relationship with his beloved Son {[one, who is also God, whom he] loves}.
7 Ceinetan baitugu redemptionea haren odolaz, cein baita bekatuén barkamendua haren gratiazco abrastassunaren araura:
When the blood of Christ [flowed when he died] [MTY], [it was as though] he paid a price to free/save us [from the guilt of our sins]. [That] ([provided a way/made it possible]) [for] God to act very kindly toward us to forgive us for having sinned.
8 Ceinetaric gaindi eraguin baitu abundosqui gure gainera sapientia eta intelligentia gucitan:
He acted very kindly toward us and enabled us to become wise about many [HYP] things and to understand his truth.
9 Guri eçagut eraciric bere vorondatearen mysterioa, bere placer onaren araura, cein lehendanic ordenatu baitzuen bere baithan:
He has enabled us to know the things that he had planned secretly (OR, that he had not revealed to anyone yet). He did that because he wanted to do that, and because he planned to do that by means of the things Christ would do.
10 Demborén complimenduaren dispensationean gucién elkargana biltzera Christean, hambat ceruètan diradenén nola lurrean, hura bera baithan:
God planned that at the time that [he appointed], he would unite all things/beings in heaven and all things/beings on earth (OR, all beings in heaven and all things on earth), and cause Christ to be the one who will rule them [MET].
11 Ceinetan eguin-ere baicara haren heretage, predestinatu içanic, haren ordenançaren araura, ceinec gauça guciac eguiten baititu bere vorondateco conseilluaren araura.
Because of our close relationship with Christ, God has also chosen us [(inc)] (OR, us [(exc)] Jews) to receive what he has promised [to give] us. He decided long ago to do that. It was exactly what he planned. He accomplishes everything exactly as he plans and desires,
12 Haren gloriaren laudoriotaco garençát, lehenetaric Christ baithan sperança vkan dugunoc.
in order that we(exc) Jews, who confidently expected the Messiah to do great things for us before the non-Jews expected such things (OR, we [(inc)] who were already confidently expecting Christ [to do great things for us]) will praise him for his greatness.
13 Ceinetan çuec-ere sperança vkan baituçue eguiazco hitza ençun vkanic, cein baita, çuen saluamendutaco Euangelioa: ceinetan sinhetsi-ere vkanic, ciguilatu içan baitzarete promessaren Spiritu sainduaz:
You [Ephesians] also heard the true message, the good message about how God saves you. [People] put their seal on something to show that [it belongs to them]. Similarly, when you believed [in Christ], God [showed that you also belong to him by sending you] the Holy Spirit as he promised to do [MET].
14 Cein baita gure heretagearen errésa, haren possessione conquestatuaren redemptionerano haren gloriaren laudoriotan.
The Holy Spirit is [like] [MET] a (deposit/down payment). That is, he (guarantees/assures us) that [we will receive] all that God has promised to give us, at the time when God will give to those who belong to him [MET] everything that [Christ] freed us to receive. [God also assures you that you belong to him], in order that you would praise him for his greatness.
15 Halacotz ni-ere ençunic Iesus Iaunean duçuen fedea, eta saindu gucietaraco charitatea,
Because of [what God has done for you], and because [people] told me that you continue to trust in the Lord Jesus and that you love all those who belong to God,
16 Eznaiz guelditzen çuengatic gratién rendatzetic, mentione çueçaz eguiten dudala neure othoitzetan.
I thank God for you constantly [LIT, HYP]. I (mention/pray for) you constantly, whenever I pray.
17 Iesus Christ gure Iaunaren Iaincoac, Aita gloriazcoac diçuençát sapientiataco eta reuelationetaco Spiritua, haren eçagutzearen vkaiteco:
[I pray] that God, who is the glorious/wonderful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, may cause his Spirit to make you wise, and that his Spirit will reveal [God to you] so that you may fully know him.
18 Çuen adimenduco beguiac illuminaturic: daquiçuençát ceric den haren vocationearen sperançá, eta ceric den haren heretageco gloriaren abrastassuna sainduetan:
And I pray that God would enable you to understand [MTY] his truth, in order that in your (inner beings/hearts) you may know the things that we believers should confidently expect to receive because he chose us [to be his people]. And I pray that you will know how God will bless his people in a very wonderful way [when we finally receive] all that he has promised to give us.
19 Eta ceric den haren botherearen handitassun excellenta sinhesten dugunotara, haren bothere borthitzaren operationez,
And [I pray that] you will know how very powerfully [God helps] us who continue to trust [in Christ]. He works powerfully for us
20 Cein eracutsi vkan baitu Christ baithan, hura hiletaric resuscitaturic eta iar eraciric bere escuinean ceruètan,
just like he acted powerfully for Christ when he caused Christ to become alive again after he died, and put him in the place of highest/greatest honor [MTY] in heaven.
21 Principaltassun, eta puissança, eta verthute, eta dominatione ororen garayan, eta ez solament secula hunetan baina ethortecoan-ere aippatzen den icen ororen garayan. (aiōn g165)
[There], Christ is the supreme ruler over every powerful spirit of every level of authority. His rank is much higher than any powerful spirit can receive, not only now, but forever. (aiōn g165)
22 Eta gauça guciac haren oinén azpico suiet eguin vkan ditu, eta bera eçarri vkan du gauça ororen garayan Eliçaren buru içateco:
God has caused all beings to be subject to Christ [MTY], and he has also appointed Christ, who rules over all things, to rule [MET] over all believers.
23 Cein baita haren gorputz, eta gauça guciac gucietan complitzen dituenaren complimendu.
We believers [relate to Christ like the parts of a person’s] body [MET] [relate to its head]. Christ uses all [his power among us] just like he uses his power throughout the whole universe.
