Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
Ndava ya genago, nene Pauli mundu mwenikungiwi ndava ya kumhengela Yesu Kilisitu na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi.
2 (if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,
Chakaka muyuwini kuvya Chapanga, muubwina waki, anigotolili lihengu lenili nihengayi ndava yinu.
3 that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,
Nene namanywisi mu njila ya kugubukuliwa mpangu waki wewafiyiki, niyandiki chihupi lijambu lenili,
4 by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ, )
mwavene pemwisoma malovi gangu muhotola kumanya chenimanya mfiyu wenuwo wa Kilisitu.
5 which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,
Mfiyu wenuwo wamanyiswi lepi kwa vandu muviveleku vingi ngati hinu naha cheyimanywiswi na Mpungu Msopi kwa vamitumi na vamlota vaki vamsopi va Chapanga.
6 that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
Uwu ndi mfiyu wene, mu njila ya Lilovi la Bwina vandu vagali Vayawudi vipata pandu pavi pamonga na Vayawudi mumota za Chapanga. Vene higa yilayila na vihanganila pamonga lilagizu lilalila leahengili Chapanga kwa njila ya Kilisitu Yesu.
7 of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.
Nene nihengiwi kuvya muhengaji wa Lilovi la Bwina kwa njombi ya ubwina wa Chapanga yeanipeli kwa ndava ya uhengaji wa uhotola waki.
8 To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
Pamonga nene mwenivii mdebe kuliku vandu voha va Chapanga, nambu anitangatili ubwina waki, muni nivakokosela vandu va milima umahele wa Kilisitu wangapimika.
9 and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, (aiōn g165)
Nahaguliwi muni nivajovela vandu voha valola mpangu wa mfiyu wa Chapanga chewihenga lihengu. Chapanga mweawumbili vindu vyoha afiyili mfiyu waki kutumbula kadeni. (aiōn g165)
10 in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,
Muni hinu, mu njila ya msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vachilongosi na vana uhotola pamulima wa chimpungu, vahotola kumanya luhala lwa Chapanga munjila ndalindali.
Chapanga ahengili lijambu lenili kulandana na mpangu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu leahegili, mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu. (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu na kwa sadika yitu, tete tihotola kumhambila Chapanga kwa ukekesi changali wogohi.
13 Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Ndava yeniyo nikuvayupa neju mkoto kudenyeka mtima ndava ya mang'ahiso gegakunikolela ndava yinu, muni genago ndava ya ukulu winu.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
Ndava ya yeniyo ndi nikumfugamila Dadi,
15 of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
ndi kuhuma kwaki lukolo lwoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga lupokela mahina ga chakaka.
16 in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;
Nikumuyupa Chapanga, kwa umahele wa ukulu waki, avasindimalisa mitima yinu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
17 that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,
Namwene Kilisitu atama mumitima yinu musadika. Nikumuyupa mpata kuvya na mikiga na mkingisa muuganu wa Chapanga,
18 in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;
muni muhotola kumanya pamonga na vandu voha va Chapanga uganu wa Kilisitu cheuvili muuvaha na utali na mukukula.
19 and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.
Ena, muhotola kumanya uganu wa Kilisitu umanya woha, ndi mmemeswa neju utimilifu woha wa Chapanga.
20 But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
Chapanga kwa makakala gaki gihenga lihengu mugati yitu ihotola kuhenga mambu gakulu neju hati getiyupa amala kuhololela.
