| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | በእግዚአብሔር ፈቃድ የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ሐዋርያ የሆነ ጳውሎስ፥ በኤፌሶን ላሉት ቅዱሳን በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስም ላሉት ምእመናን፤ | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: |
| 2 | ከእግዚአብሔር ከአባታችን ከጌታም ከኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ጸጋና ሰላም ለእናንተ ይሁን። | Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 3 | በክርስቶስ በሰማያዊ ስፍራ በመንፈሳዊ በረከት ሁሉ የባረከን የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ አምላክና አባት ይባረክ። | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
| 4 | ዓለም ሳይፈጠር፥ በፊቱ ቅዱሳንና ነውር የሌለን በፍቅር እንሆን ዘንድ በክርስቶስ መረጠን። | According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: |
| 5 | በበጎ ፈቃዱ እንደ ወደደ፥ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ሥራ ለእርሱ ልጆች ልንሆን አስቀድሞ ወሰነን። | Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, |
| 6 | በውድ ልጁም እንዲያው የሰጠን የጸጋው ክብር ይመሰገን ዘንድ ይህን አደረገ። | To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. |
| 7 | በውድ ልጁም፥ እንደ ጸጋው ባለ ጠግነት መጠን፥ በደሙ የተደረገ ቤዛነታችንን አገኘን እርሱም የበደላችን ስርየት። | In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
| 8 | ጸጋውንም በጥበብና በአእምሮ ሁሉ አበዛልን። | Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
| 9 | በክርስቶስ ለማድረግ እንደ ወደደ እንደ አሳቡ፥ የፈቃዱን ምሥጢር አስታውቆናልና፤ | Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
| 10 | በዘመን ፍጻሜ ይደረግ ዘንድ ያለው አሳቡም በሰማይና በምድር ያለውን ሁሉ በክርስቶስ ለመጠቅለል ነው። | That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
| 11 | እንደ ፈቃዱ ምክር ሁሉን የሚሠራ እንደ እርሱ አሳብ፥ አስቀድመን የተወሰንን በክርስቶስ ደግሞ ርስትን ተቀበልን። | In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
| 12 | ይኸውም፥ በክርስቶስ አስቀድመን ተስፋ ያደረግን እኛ ለክብሩ ምስጋና እንሆን ዘንድ ነው። | That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
| 13 | እናንተም ደግሞ የእውነትን ቃል፥ ይኸውም የመዳናችሁን ወንጌል፥ ሰምታችሁ ደግሞም በክርስቶስ አምናችሁ፥ በተስፋው መንፈስ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ታተማችሁ፤ | In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, |
| 14 | እርሱም የርስታችን መያዣ ነው፥ ለእግዚአብሔር ያለውን ሁሉ እስኪዋጅ ድረስ፥ ይህም ለክብሩ ምስጋና ይሆናል። | Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
| 15 | ስለዚህ እኔ ደግሞ በእናንተ ዘንድ ስለሚሆን በጌታ በኢየሱስ ስለ ማመንና ለቅዱሳን ሁሉ ስለሚሆን መውደድ ሰምቼ፥ | Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
| 16 | ስለ እናንተ እያመሰገንሁ ስጸልይ ስለ እናንተ ማሳሰብን አልተውም፤ | Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
| 17 | የክብር አባት የጌታችን የኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ አምላክ እርሱን በማወቅ የጥበብንና የመገለጥን መንፈስ እንዲሰጣችሁ እለምናለሁ። | That 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: |
| 18 | ይህም የልባችሁ ዓይኖች ሲበሩ የመጥራቱ ተስፋ ምን እንዲሆን በቅዱሳንም ዘንድ ያለው የርስት ክብር ባለ ጠግነት ምን እንዲሆን ለምናምን ከሁሉ የሚበልጥ የኃይሉ ታላቅነት ምን እንዲሆን ታውቁ ዘንድ ነው፤ | The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
| 20 | ክርስቶስንም ከሙታን ሲያስነሣው ከአለቅነትና ከሥልጣንም ከኃይልም ከጌትነትም ሁሉ በላይና በዚህ ዓለም ብቻ ሳይሆን ነገር ግን ሊመጣ ባለው ዓለም ደግሞ ከሚጠራው ስም ሁሉ በላይ በሰማያዊ ስፍራ በቀኙ ሲያስቀምጠው በክርስቶስ ባደረገው ሥራ የብርታቱ ጉልበት ይታያል፤ | Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
| 22 | ሁሉንም ከእግሩ በታች አስገዛለት ከሁሉ በላይም ራስ እንዲሆን ለቤተ ክርስቲያን ሰጠው። | And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, |
| 23 | እርስዋም አካሉና ሁሉን በሁሉ የሚሞላ የእርሱ ሙላቱ ናት። | Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
| 19 | And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, | |
| 21 | Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: |
