Efesios Uno en Español

Today, I read Ephesians 1:1-11 in Spanish (Efesios capitulo uno del uno al once).

I also began looking more into the helpful information inside my Mirriam-Webster's Spanish-English dictionary. It contains some real helpful information that I'm just discovering, such as the section on Spanish Grammar in the beginning. All this is new to me, so it is pretty neat when I begin to understand things that used to be a mystery.

Here is a section I translated from Efesios uno en la NVI versión (I translated it literal word-for-word, so the English looks a little strange, but it helps me):

1 Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús por la voluntad de Dios,
[Paul, apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,]

a los santos y fieles en Cristo Jesús que están en Éfeso:
[to those saints and faithful in Christ Jesus that are in Ephesus:]

2 Que Dios nuestro Padre y el Señor Jesucristo les concedan gracia y paz.
[From God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ they grant grace and peace]

3 Alabado sea Dios, Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que nos ha bendicido en las regiones celestiales con toda bendición espiritual en Cristo.
[Praise be to God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that us has blessed in those regions heavenly with all blessings spiritual in Christ.]

4 Dios nos escogió en él antes de la creación del mundo, para que seamos santos y sin mancha delante de él. En amor
[God us chose in him before from the creation of the world, for that we would be holy and without blemish before him. In love]

5 nos predestinó para ser adoptados como hijos suyos por medio de Jesucristo, según el buen propósito de su voluntad,
[us predestined for to be adopted like children of his through Jesus Christ, according to the good purpose of his will,]

6 para alabanza de su gloriosa gracia, que nos concedió en su Amado.
[for praise of his glorious grace, that us was granted in his Beloved.]

7 En él tenemos la redención mediante su sangre, el perdón de nuestros pecados, conforme a las riquezas de la gracia
[In him we have the redemption through his blood, the pardon of our sins, according to those riches of the grace]

8 que Dios nos dio en abundancia con toda sabiduría y entendimiento.
[that God us gave in abundance with all wisdom and understanding.]
