Ŵaefeso 3
1 Kwa ligongo li, une che Paolo, ndili jwantawe kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa ligongo ngunnalichila ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Isyene mpilikene kuti, kwa upile wao, Akunnungu ambele masengo ga kwa ligongo lyenu.
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
3 Akunnungu amunukulile nachimanye chindu chantemela chachisisiche, mpela inalongolele kunnembela kwa wipi.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Ni ŵanyamwe mwasyomaga yeleyi, chinkombole kumanyilila inguti kuumanyilila ntemela wa Kilisito.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Kalakala ŵandu nganamanyiswa chantemela cho, nambo sambano Akunnungu ŵaunukulile achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵao ŵaswela achimanyilile chantemela cho kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
which in other generations was not made known to people, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6 Ntemela wene ni weleu, kwa litala lya Ngani Jambone ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi akupegwa ni Akunnungu upile wao yalumo ni Ŵayahudi. Ŵandu wo ali iŵalo ya chiilu chimo, nombewo akupochela iyoyo liuto lya indu ya chilanga cha Akunnungu kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu.
that the non-Jews are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Natendekwe katumetume jwa Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ntuuka wa umbone wambele Akunnungu kwa litala lya machili gao.
of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Uneji ndili mundu jwannandi kupunda ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu, nambo Akunnungu ambele ntuuka wa kwalalichila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi Ngani Jambone ja upile wa Kilisito wangaukukomboleka kuŵalanjikwa.
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 Nasagulikwe kuti naalosye ŵandu wose chantemela cha Akunnungu yachikuti pakupanganya masengo. Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile indu yose, ŵasisile chantemela cho kwa iŵelesi yose chitandile kalakala. (aiōn g165)
and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Nambo sambano, kwa litala lya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵakutawala ni ŵaali ni machili kwinani alumanyilile lunda lwa Akunnungu mu indu yose.
to the intent that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places,
11 Akunnungu ŵatesile yele kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu mpela iŵasachile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn g165)
12 Kwa kulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa kwakulupilila ŵelewo tukukombola kwajaulila Akunnungu nkulimbila ni pangali lipamba.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Nipele ngunchondelela kuti kasintenguka ntima kwa kulaga kungulaga kwa ligongo lyenu, pakuŵa ayi yose ili kwa ligongo lya ukulu wenu.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Kwa ligongo li ngutindiŵala kwapopela Atati,
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 kutyochela kukwao ngosyo syose kwinani ni pachilambo tutupochele meena ga usyene.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu, ŵaali winji wa ukulu, anlimbisye mitima jenu kwa machili ga Mbumu jwakwe.
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person;
17 Ni Kilisito atame mmitima jenu kwa chikulupi. Ngumpopelela kuti nkole michiga ni kwima nkulimbila mu unonyelo wa Akunnungu,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 kuti ŵanyamwe pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, yauli chitando ni uleu ni mu chikwesya ni mu kwendesya.
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 Isyene, nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, waukupunda umanyilisi wose ni kwayele ngumbaswe ni ujenelo wose wa Akunnungu.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Twakusye Akunnungu ŵakukombola kutendekanya gamakulungwa nnope kupunda itukuiŵenda ni kuiganisya, kwa litala lya machili gao gagakupanganya masengo nkati mwetu.
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
