Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa maganu ga Chapanga. Nikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga va ku Efeso, mwemwisadika kuwungana na Kilisitu.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.
Chapanga alumbiwa na Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu! Muni, mweatipelili mota ndalindali za chimpungu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga mu njila ya Mpungu Msopi.
4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love
Hati kwakona kuwumbwa mulima, Chapanga atihagwili tete tivya vandu vaki mukuwungana na Kilisitu muni tivya vamsopi na changali kubuda. Ndava ya uganu waki.

6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.
Hinu, timulumba Chapanga ndava ya ubwina waki ukulu, ndava atipeli Mwana waki mweamuganili!
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace
Mukuwungana na Kilisitu ndi tigombolewi kwa ngasi yaki na tilekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga. Ndi chauvi ukulu wa ubwina wa Chapanga,
8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
weatipeli tete kwa chipimu chivaha neju muluhala lwaki lwoha na umanya.
9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ
Chapanga ahengili chila cheaganili kukita. Na atigubukulili mpangu waki wa mfiyu, weamwili kuutimilisa mu njila ya Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu.
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.
Mpangu wenuwo ndi ngaatimalisi mulukumbi chakaka ndi viumbi vyoha kuvileta pamonga, kila chindu chechivii kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima, muulongosi wa Kilisitu.
11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,
Chapanga ahengili kila chindu kulandana na maganu gaki. Mwene atihagwili mu njila ya kuwungana na Kilisitu. Muni tivya vandu vaki, lijambu leahamwili kutumbula kulikita.
12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.
Hinu, ndi tete vetilongolili kumsadika Kilisitu yikutigana kuulumba ukulu wa Chapanga!
13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Mewa na nyenye mwemuyuwini ujumbi wa chakaka ndi Lilovi la Bwina lelileta usangula winu. Mwamsadiki Kilisitu, na Chapanga avikili, ulangisu weulangisa kuvya nyenye ndi vaki, kwa kuvapela Mpungu Msopi mweavalagazili.
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.
Mpungu msopi mwenuyo ndi ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya chakaka yati tipokela. Lijambu lenilo likutilangisa kuvya yati akutigombola tavoha vetivii vaki. Tiulumba ukulu waki.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
Ndava yeniyo, kutumbula panakayuwini ndava ya sadika yinu kwa Bambu Yesu, na uganu winu kwa vandu va Chapanga,
16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
katu nilekili lepi kumsengusa Chapanga ndava yinu. Nikuvaluwula penikumuyupa Chapanga.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.
Niyendelela kumuyupa Chapanga muni Chapanga wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu, Dadi wa ukulu, avapela Mpungu waki wa luhala na kuvagubukulila muuhotala kuumanya.
18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,
Nikumuyupa Chapanga ayigubukula mitima yinu yihotola kulola lumuli lwaki, muni muhotola kumanya huvalila yila yeavakemelili na ukulu uvaha na njombi zeavavikili vandu vaki.
19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,
Na kumanya namuna makakala chegihenga lihengu mugati yitu tete vetisadiki chegavili gavaha. Uhotola wenuo uhenga lihengu mugati yitu, ndi makakala gavaha neju,
20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
geamyukisi nagu Kilisitu kuhuma kwavevafwili, akamtamika muchiwoko chaki cha kulyelela kunani kwa Chapanga.
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. (aiōn g165)
Hinu, kwenuko, Kilisitu ndi chilongosi mkulu wa vachilongosi voha va kunani kwa Chapanga, na uhotola woha na makakala na vankosi voha na vachilongosi. Kila liina leliluwuliwa pamulima uwu, nambu mewa pamulima weubwela. (aiōn g165)
22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,
Chapanga amupeli Kilisitu kulongosa vindu vyoha na akamvika kuvya mutu wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu muni avya mkulu wa vindu vyoha.
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndi higa ya Kilisitu, na utimilifu waki ndi mwene mweitimilisa vindu vyoha kila pandu.
