1 Une che Paolo, nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵankutama ku Efeso, ŵankukulupilichika nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints that are in Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Ngummendela upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Twakusye Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Pakuŵa nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, atupele uwe upile wose waukutyochela kwinani kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ,
4 Namose chilambo chikanaŵe gumbikwa, Akunnungu ŵatusagwile uwe kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, kuti tuŵe ŵaswela ni ŵangali sambi paujo pao. Kwa ligongo lya unonyelo wao,
according as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love,
5 Akunnungu ŵasachile chitandile kundanda, ni ŵatusagwile uwe, kuti tutendekwe ŵanache ŵao kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni iŵatite pakunonyelwa ni kusaka.
having predestinated us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Nipele twalape Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya umbone wao wekulu, pakuŵa ŵatupele Mwanagwao juŵannonyele nti ntuuka.
for the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he has shown us favor in the Beloved,
7 Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito uwe tukuwombolwa kwa miasi jao, yaani tukulecheleswa sambi syetu. Yele ni wautite ukulu wa upile wao,
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
8 uŵatujitilile kwakuchuluka kwa lunda lose ni umanyilisi wakwe wose.
which he has made to abound to us in all wisdom and understanding,
9 Akunnungu atesile achila chiŵasakaga kuchipanganya. Atumanyisye yantemela yaisachile amalichisye kwa litala lya Kilisito.
by making known to us the mystery of his will according to his good purpose which he had before established in himself,
10 Yeleyo chiitendekwe pa katema kakaŵichikwe ni Akunnungu, pachasonganganye indu yose pamo yaili kwinani ni yaili mu chilambo ni yose ilongoswe ni Kilisito.
for a dispensation at the fullness of the times, in order that he might bring together for himself all things in the Christ, both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth;
11 Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uwe twasagulikwe tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe mpela iŵatite pakusaka Akunnungu chitandile kalakala. Akunnungu akupanganya indu yose mpela yakuti pakusaka ni kulamula nsyene.
in him in whom we have obtained our portion, having been predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
12 Kwa yeleyo, uweji ŵatulongolele kwakulupilila Kilisito, tuulape ukulu wa Akunnungu.
that we should be for the praise of his glory; even we, who before had hope in the Christ:
13 Ni ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe, mwapilikene utenga wa usyene, yaani Ngani Jambone jajikunnyichisya ukulupusyo. Mwakulupilile Kilisito, nombe Akunnungu kwakulosya kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe, kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito annembile chimanyisyo kwakumpa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakulanga kalakala.
in whom you also hoped after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom, after you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 Mbumu jo ni jwakwimilila indu yose yalanjile Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. Chindu chi chikutumanyisya kuti Akunnungu chiŵawombole ŵandu ŵakwe. Tuulape ukulu wakwe.
which is the earnest of our inheritance, given for the redemption of his possession to the praise of his glory.
15 Kwa ligongo lyo, chitandile panapilikene inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu,
For this reason I also, since I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love to all the saints,
16 une nganguleka kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu. Ngunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu.
do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Ngwendelechela kwapopela Atati ŵaali ni ukulu, Akunnungu ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, ampe ŵanyamwe Mbumu jwakwe kuti nkole lunda ni chiunukuko kuti nkombole kwamanyilila ŵelewo uchenene.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the acknowledgment of him,
18 Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu ambunukule mitima jenu kuti nkombole kulola lilanguka lyakwe kuti mmanyilile chilolelo chammilasile ni ukulu wekulungwa wa upile uŵaagosele ŵandu ŵakwe,
that, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the glorious riches of his inheritance in the saints,
19 ni kugamanyilila machili gakwe gamakulungwa nnope kwetu uwe ŵatukwakulupilila. Machili gagakupanganya masengo mwa uweji ni gakulandana ni machili gamakulungwa gala,
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to ward us who believe in accordance with the energy of his mighty power,
20 gaŵatumie paŵansyusisye Kilisito ni kuntamika kunkono wakwe wa kundyo wa machili kwinani.
which he made active in the Christ when he raised him from the dead, and caused him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Kweleko Kilisito ali jwankulu pachanya pa achakulu wose ni ŵaali ni ulamusi wose ni machili ni mamwenye. Ni liina lyakwe lili lyekulu pachanya meena gaakupegwa ŵandu pa chilambo chi ni chilambo chachikwika. (aiōn g165)
high above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 Akunnungu ŵapele Kilisito ulamusi pa indu yose. Nombe Akunnungu ammisile aŵe ntwe wa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti alongosye indu yose.
and subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things for the church,
23 Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ali chiilu cha Kilisito, nombewo ali utindimisyo wa Kilisito ŵakutimisya indu yose.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all his members with all things,
