Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
Nemhaka yeizvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nekuda kwenyu vahedheni,
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
kana zvirokwazvo makanzwa nezvekushandiswa kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri pamusoro penyu,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
kuti sechakazarurwa wakandizivisa chakavanzika, sezvandakambonyora nemashoko mashoma;
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
naizvozvo kana muchirava, munogona kunzwisisa ruzivo rwangu muchakavanzika chaKristu;
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.
icho pane mamwe mazera chisina kuziviswa kuvanakomana vevanhu, sezvachozarurwa ikozvino kuvaapositori vake vatsvene nevaporofita muMweya;
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.
kuti vahedheni vave vadyi venhaka pamwe nesu uye vemuviri umwe nevagovani vechivimbiso chake muna Kristu kubudikidza neevhangeri,
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
yandakaitwa nayo mushumiri zvichienderana nechipo chenyasha dzaMwari chakapiwa kwandiri nekubata kwesimba rake.
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,
Kwandiri ndiri mudiki kumudikisa wevatsvene vese, nyasha idzi dzakapiwa, kuti ndiparidze pakati pevahedheni fuma isinganzvereki yaKristu,
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)
nekuita kuti vese vaone kuti kudyidzana kwakadini kwechakavanzika chakange chakavigwa muna Mwari kubva pakuvamba kwenyika, wakasika zvinhu zvese kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, (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,
kuti ikozvino kuchenjera kwakasiyana-siyana kwaMwari kuziviswe nekereke paushe nepamasimba panzvimbo dzekudenga,
sechiga chekusingaperi chaakatema muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu; (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
maari tine kutsunga nekupinda nechivimbo, nerutendo rwake.
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Naizvozvo ndinokumbira kuti murege kuora moyo pamatambudziko angu pamusoro penyu, ndiwo kurumbidzwa kwenyu.
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Nekuda kweizvozvi ndinofugama mabvi angu kuna Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
rudzi rwese rwuri kumatenga nepanyika rwunotumidzwa mavari,
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
kuti vakupei, zvichienderana nefuma yekubwinya kwavo, musimbiswe musimba neMweya wake mumunhu wemukati,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
kuti Kristu agare pamoyo yenyu nerutendo; mune midzi uye makateiwa nheyo murudo,
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
kuti mugone kwazvo kunzwisisa pamwe nevatsvene vese, kuti kufara, nekureba, nekukwirira, nekudzika chii,
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.
nekuziva rudo rwaKristu rwunopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe mukuzara kwese kwaMwari.
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,
Zvino kune ane simba rekuita zvikuru kwazvo zvinopfuura zvese zvatinokumbira kana kufunga, maererano nesimba rinobata matiri,
