Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
Paulo, mutugwa wa ng'wa Kristo Yesu ku ulowa nu wang'wi Itunda. Ku awo nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda ni akoli ku Efeso hangi niiza inge ahuiili kung'wa Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende utule kitalanyu nu ulyuuku nu upembeeye kung'wi Itunda Tata nu utunu mukulu u Yesu Kristo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:
Itunda hangi Tata nu a mukulu nu itu Yesu Kristo nu apegwe ikulyo. Hangi ng'wenso nai ukukendepile kukiila ukende nua ki ng'wau ng'welu, mu kianza ka kilunde mukati ang'wa Kristo.
4 As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity.
Ze ikili kuumbwa uunkumbigulu, Itunda ai ukuholanilye usese niiza kuhuiie mung'wa Kristo. Ai ukuholanilye usese iti kuhume kutula elu ni shanga kitukwaa ntongela akwe.
5 Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:
Ku ulowa Itunda ai uholanilye u ng'wandyo ku uhola anga ana akweku nzila ang'wa Yesu Kristo. Ai witumile izi kunsoko ai uloeegwe kituma iko nai ukete i nsula.
6 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son.
Mapumiilo akwe inge kina Itunda ukukuligwa ku ukende nua ikulyo ni lakwe. Iki kiko nai ukinkiiye nankanda ku nzila a mulowa nu akwe.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace,
Ku nsoko mu mulowa nu akwe, kukete ligunwa kukiila sakami ni akwe. ulekelwa nua milandu. kulikete ili kunsoko a ugoli nua ukende nu akwe.
8 Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence,
Ai wutumile ukende uwu kutula widu kunsoko itu mu upolo nu umanyi.
9 That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him,
Itunda ai witumile ikumuke kitaitu iyo itai nai ipihile na masigo, kupumiila ni nsula nai igeelekilemukati ang'wa Kristo.
10 In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him.
Itungo imatungo akondaniie ku ukondaniili nua masigo akwe. Itunda ukuiika palung'wi kila i kintu ni ka kilunde niki nika migulya ihi mukati ang'wa Kristo.
11 In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will.
Mung'wa Kristo ai katulaa kaholanigwa nu kusigiilwa ze ikili imatungo. Iyi ai ituile inge kupumiila ni masigo ang'wa nu itumaa i intu yihi ku isigo nila ulowa wakwe.
12 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ:
Itunda ai witumile nianso iti kina kuhume kutula kukoli ku ilumbi nila ikulyo ni lakwe. Ai katulaa kiang'wandyo kutula nu ugimya mukati ang'wa Kristo.
13 In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation; ) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise,
Ai ituile ku nzila ang'wa Kristo kina ai migule lukani nula tai, nkani ninza nia ugunwa nu anyu ku nzila ang'wa Kristo. Ai ituile ku ng'wenso ga kina mahuiie nu kuikilwa u logo nua ng'wau ng'welu nai wigombigwe.
14 Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory.
Ung'wau ng'welu yuyo ukuiili nua usali witu kupikiila uhuiili nu ikigeeleka. Iyi ai ituile inge ku ilumbi nu ukulyo ni lakwe.
15 Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints,
Kunsoko iyi, Puma itungo nai nigule lukani kutula uhuiili nu anyu mukati ang'wa Mukulu Yesu nu kutula ulowa nu anyu ku awo ihi naza abaguwe kunsoko akwe.
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,
Nkili kuleka kumulumbiilya Itunda anyu nu ku ata mumalompi ane.
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him:
Kulompa kina Itunda nua Mukulu nu itu Yesu Kristo. Tata nu ikulyo, wika minkiilya nkolo a upolo, ukunukulwa nua umanyi nu akwe.
18 The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
Kulompa kina miho anyu na munkolo aikilwe welu ku nyenye kulinga inge nu u uli uugimya nua kitngwa kitalanyu. Kulompa mulinge kina u ugimya nuikulyo nila usali nu akwe mukati nua awo nai abaguwe kunsoko akwe.
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power,
Kulompa kina ulinge u ukulu nu ukilinkiie nua ngulu ni akwe mukati itu niiza kuhuiie. Uwu ukulu inge kupumiila nu kituma milimo mu ngulu ni akwe.
20 Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places.
Iyi inge ngulu nai itumile milimo mukati ang'wa Kristo matungo Itunda nai umuukilya kupuma ku ashi nuku mikalinsha mu mukono nu akwe nua kigoha mu kianza ka kilunde. Ai umikalnsilye u Kristo migulya kuli nu utemi, ngulu, uhumi, ukulu ni kila lina nilitegwaa.
21 Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Ai umikalinsilye Yesu shanga kintu ku itungo ili ku iti ku itungo nilipembilye ga. (aiōn g165)
22 And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church,
Itunda uikilagilye i intu yihi pihi a mugulu ang'wa Kristo. Umuzepilye ng'wenso itwe migulya a intu yihi mi Itekeelo.
23 Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all.
Inge itekeelo kina lilo muili nu akwe ukondaniili nu akwe niiza wizuligwa i intu yihi mu nzila yihi.
