Ephesians 1
1 This letter comes from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to God's will, to the Christians in Ephesus and those who trust in Christ Jesus.
Muvughane vwa Nguluve u Paulo n'sung'ua Kilisite Yesu, kuvala vano va baghulivue vwimila vwa Nguluve vano vali ku Efeso vano vitiki mwa Kilisite Yesu.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ulusungu luve kulyumue nulu tengano luno luhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu Yesu Kilisite.
3 Praise God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all that's spiritually good in the heavenly world,
Aghinwaghe u Nguluve u Nhaata ghwa Mutwa ghwitu u Yesu kilisite. Nijova uluo ulwakuuva mwa Kilisite utufunyile mu moojo, ghiitu ni nyifunyo kuhuma kukyanya.
4 just as he chose us to be in him before the beginning of this world, so that in love we could be holy and without fault before him.
Unguluve ye akyale kupela iisi, alyatusalwile kuuva vaana vake vwimila u Yesu Kilisite. Alyavombile uluo kuuti tuve vimike vasila n'kole pamaaso ghako.
5 He decided in advance to adopt us as his children, working through Jesus Christ to bring us to himself. He was happy to do this because this is what he wanted.
Mulughano lwa Nguluve alyatusalwile pavwasio nakutu vika heene vaanha va mwene ku siila ija Yesu Kilisite. Alyavombile n'diiki ulwakuva alyanoghile kuvomba kila kino inoghelua.
6 So we praise him for his glorious grace that he so kindly gave us in his beloved Son.
Mumahumile gha mwene kwekuuti u nguluve ighinua kulusungu lwa vitike vwa mwene. Iki kye kighono atupelile vulevule ku siila ja mughane ghwa mwene.
7 Through him we gain salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins as a result of his priceless grace
Ulwakuva umughane ghwa mwene, tulinuvupuko kukilila idanda ja mwene, ulusaghilo lwa nyivi. Tulinalywo iili vwimila vwa vumofu uvwa lusungu lwa mwene.
8 that he so generously provided for us, together with all wisdom and understanding.
Akavombile ulusungu alwakuuti luve lwinga vwimila vwitu nuluhala kukagula
9 He revealed to us his previously-hidden will through which he was happy to pursue his plan
U Nguluve akavombile lukagulike kulyusue luve kyang'haani lulikuvusyefu pa mbombo, kuhumilanila uvunoghelua vuno vufwikulilue mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
10 at the appropriate time to bring everyone together in Christ—those in heaven and those on the earth.
Unsiki ghuno amasiki gjalyakwiline kuvupesie uvwa vutavike vwa mwene, u Nguluve alafivika palikimo ifiinu fyoni ifya kukyanya ifya kisina mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
11 In him—we were chosen beforehand, according to the plan of the one who is working everything out according to his will,
Mwa Kilisite tukasalulivue muluvilo ye ghukyale unsiki. Lukale kuhumilanila nimbombo ja juno ivomba ifinu fyoni kuluvilo lwa vughane vwa mwene.
12 for the purpose that we who were the first to hope in Christ could praise his glory.
U Nguluveakavombile ulwakuuti tunoghele kujigha mulughinio lwa vwitike vwa mwene. Tukale vakwasia kuva nulukangasio mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
13 In him—you too have heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation. In him—because you trusted in him you were stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit's promise,
Lukale mu sila ja Kilisite kuuti mulyapulike ilisio ilya kyang'haani, ilivangili lya m'poki vwinu kusila ja Kilisite. Lukale mwa mwene kange kuuti mwitike na kubikua umuhuri nhu Mhepo umwimike juno fingilue.
14 which is a down-payment on our inheritance when God redeems what he's kept safe for himself—us, who will praise and give him glory!
U Mhepo gwe atusaghile vuhasi vwitu mpaka kutema pano vuliva vuvoneka. Ulu lukale mu lughinio lwa mwitike ghwa mwene.
15 That's the reason, because I've heard of your trust in the Lord Jesus and the love that you have for all Christians,
Vwimila ulu, unsiki ye nipuluke vwimila mu lwitikOK lwinu mun'kate mwa Mutwa Yesu kange vwimila vwa lughano lwinu kuvala vooni vano vabaghulivue vwimila vwa mwene.
16 why I never stop thanking God for you and remember you in my prayers.
Nanibuhilile kukumongesia u Nguluve vwimila vwinu kange kukuvakemela mu nyifunyo sango.
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom to see and know him as he really is.
Nikufunya kuuti u Nguluve ghwe Mutwa ghwiti Yesu Kilisite, u Nhaata ghwe vwitike, ikuvapela inumbula ija luhala, amasyetulilo gha vukagusi vwa mwene.
18 May your minds be enlightened so you can understand the hope he's called you to— the glorious riches he promises as an inheritance to his holy people.
Nikufunya kuuti amaaso ghinu aha munumbula ghapelue ulumuli kulyumue kukagula lwe luliikuulukangasio ulwa kukemelua kulyumue. Nikufinya kuuti mukagule uvumofu uvwa vitiki uvwa vuhasi vwa mwene munkate mu vaala vano vabaghulivue vwimila umwene.
19 May you also understand God's amazing power
Nikufunya kuuti akagule uvuvaha vuno vukila ingufu ja mwene mun'kate mulyusue juno tukwitika. Uvuvaha uvu kwe kuhumilanila na kuvomba imbombo mhu ngufu sa mwene.
20 that he demonstrated in raising Christ from the dead. God seated Christ at his right hand in heaven,
Iji je ngufu jino jivombile imbombo mun'kate mwa Kilisite unsiki u Nguluve ye asyusisie kuhuma kuva fue na pikum'bika kuluvoko lwa mwene ulwa ndio pala pa vulanga.
21 far above any other ruler, authority, power, or lord, or any leader with all their titles—not only in this world, but also in the coming world too. (aiōn g165)
Alyam'bikile kukyanya kuvutali na kutema, uvutavulilua, ingufu, vutua, nilitavua lila lino litambulua. Alya m'bikile u Yesu na kwekuuti unsiki ughu looli ku nsiki ghuno ghu kwisa kange. (aiōn g165)
22 God has made everything subject to the authority of Christ, and has given him the responsibility as head over everything for the church,
U Nguluve afibikile ifinu fyoni pasi pa maghulu gha Kilisite. Avikile umwene umuutu ghwa mwene pakyanya pa fiinu fyoni mulukong'ano.
23 which is his body, filled full and made complete by Christ, who fills and brings everything to completion.
Lwe lukong'ano kuuti ghwe m'bili gha mwene, uvukwilanifu vwa mwene juno imemia ifinhu fyoni ku siila sooni.
