Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
Ku nsoko a iki unene, Paulo, inge ni mutugwaa wang'wa Yesu Kristo kunsoko anyu, Mahi.
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
Hangi nihuiie nia kina migulyee migulya a milimo nua ukende nua ng'wi Itunda nai uninkiiye ku nzila anyu.
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
Ku mukilisilya kupumiila ni mpyani a ukunukulwa naza ukunukuwe kitalane. Uwu inge itai nai wipihile naza nu ukilisilye ku ukupimi ibada i lulya.
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Nu kusoma kutula aya, ukuhuma kulijya u upolo nu ane mu utai uwu nu i pihile kutula u Kristo.
5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
Ku ulelwa nu ungiiza u tai uwu shanga ai witumilwe umanyike ku ana a antu, iti ku itungili waikilwe kihenga ku ng'wau ng'welu ku atungwaa nai abaguwe nu unyakidagu.
6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
Uu tai uwu nu ipihile inge i antu nia mahi ni anya muhangu i itu ni atungwaa i itu nia muili. Inge anya muhangu palung'wi nu wigombya nu ang'wa ki Kristo Yesu kukiila nkani ninza.
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
Hangi ku ili nazipigwe munyamilimo ku isongeelyo ni la ukende nu ang'wi Itunda nai upumigwe kitalane ku kiila witumi nua ngulu akwe.
8 Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Itunda ai upumilye isongelyo ili kitalane, ga ni ni kutula unene inge muntu muniino nua ihi ku awo nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda. Isongeelyo ili inge uatakiwe kutanantilya imahi nkani ninza ni ikete u ugoli ni shanga wipekulwa nu ang'wa Kristo.
9 and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (aiōn g165)
Utakiwe kuatanantilya antu ihi migulya a ntuni inge isigo la ng'wi Itunda nua kimpinyimpinyi. Uwu ige isigo naza latulaa lipihilwe ku miaka idu na kiile, hangi Itunda niiza uiumbile i intu yihi. (aiōn g165)
10 His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
Ila ai latulaa kina, kukiila itekeelo, I atemi ni ngulu mu nkika ni yi ilunde alije kulinga nkika idu ni a upuumoo nua upolo nu ang'wi Itunda.
Aya aza azepumila kukiila isigo ni la kali na kali naza likondaniiye mukati ang'wa Kristo Yesu mukulu nu itu. (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
Kunsoko mung'wa Kristo kukete ugimya nu uhumi nua kingila ku ugimya kunsoko a uhuiili witu kung'wa akwe.
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Ku lulo kumulompa muleke kuhung'wa u ukata kunsoko anyu. Aya inge ikulyo ni lanyu.
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Kunsoko iyi kutugama kung'wa Tata.
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Ni iza ku ng'wenso kilandugu kilunde nu migulya ihi Itangilwe lina.
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
Kulompa kina walije kumukendepya, kupumiila nu ugoli ni ikulyo ni lakwe amuzipye ukomu ku ngulu kukiila ng'wau ng'welu nu akwe, na iza ukoli mukati anyu.
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Kulompa kina u Kristo wikie mukati a nkolo ni anyu kukiila uhuiili.
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
Kulompa kina mutule ni itina nu musingi nua ulowa nu akwe. Mutule mu ulowa nu akwe iti muhume kulinga palung'wi ni ihi nia huiie ni yili uugali, nu ulipu, nu unyansuku, nu ulundu nua ulowa nu ang'wa Kristo.
19 of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Kulompa kina mulinge kina u ukulu nua ulowa nua ang'wa Kristo, naza ukilinkiie u ulingi. Mitume aya iti mizuligwe nu ukondaniili wihi nu ang'wi Itunda.
20 Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
Hangi itungili kung'wakwe ng'wenso nu uhumile kituma kila ikani kukilinkiila ni ihi ni kuumulompa ang'wi ni ku umasigiila, kukiila ngulu nakwe ni ituma milimo mukati itu.
