Ephesians 1
1 Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus:
Une che Paolo, nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵankutama ku Efeso, ŵankukulupilichika nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Ngummendela upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
3 Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ,
Twakusye Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Pakuŵa nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, atupele uwe upile wose waukutyochela kwinani kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
4 As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:
Namose chilambo chikanaŵe gumbikwa, Akunnungu ŵatusagwile uwe kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, kuti tuŵe ŵaswela ni ŵangali sambi paujo pao. Kwa ligongo lya unonyelo wao,
5 Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Akunnungu ŵasachile chitandile kundanda, ni ŵatusagwile uwe, kuti tutendekwe ŵanache ŵao kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni iŵatite pakunonyelwa ni kusaka.
6 To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
Nipele twalape Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya umbone wao wekulu, pakuŵa ŵatupele Mwanagwao juŵannonyele nti ntuuka.
7 By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito uwe tukuwombolwa kwa miasi jao, yaani tukulecheleswa sambi syetu. Yele ni wautite ukulu wa upile wao,
8 Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
uŵatujitilile kwakuchuluka kwa lunda lose ni umanyilisi wakwe wose.
9 And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
Akunnungu atesile achila chiŵasakaga kuchipanganya. Atumanyisye yantemela yaisachile amalichisye kwa litala lya Kilisito.
10 That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:
Yeleyo chiitendekwe pa katema kakaŵichikwe ni Akunnungu, pachasonganganye indu yose pamo yaili kwinani ni yaili mu chilambo ni yose ilongoswe ni Kilisito.
11 In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uwe twasagulikwe tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe mpela iŵatite pakusaka Akunnungu chitandile kalakala. Akunnungu akupanganya indu yose mpela yakuti pakusaka ni kulamula nsyene.
12 That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
Kwa yeleyo, uweji ŵatulongolele kwakulupilila Kilisito, tuulape ukulu wa Akunnungu.
13 In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise,
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe, mwapilikene utenga wa usyene, yaani Ngani Jambone jajikunnyichisya ukulupusyo. Mwakulupilile Kilisito, nombe Akunnungu kwakulosya kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe, kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito annembile chimanyisyo kwakumpa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakulanga kalakala.
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.
Mbumu jo ni jwakwimilila indu yose yalanjile Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. Chindu chi chikutumanyisya kuti Akunnungu chiŵawombole ŵandu ŵakwe. Tuulape ukulu wakwe.
15 Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints,
Kwa ligongo lyo, chitandile panapilikene inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu,
16 I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
une nganguleka kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu. Ngunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu.
17 That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ, that Father of glory, might giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome, and reuelation through the acknowledging of him,
Ngwendelechela kwapopela Atati ŵaali ni ukulu, Akunnungu ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, ampe ŵanyamwe Mbumu jwakwe kuti nkole lunda ni chiunukuko kuti nkombole kwamanyilila ŵelewo uchenene.
18 That the eyes of your vnderstanding may be lightened, that ye may knowe what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in the Saints,
Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu ambunukule mitima jenu kuti nkombole kulola lilanguka lyakwe kuti mmanyilile chilolelo chammilasile ni ukulu wekulungwa wa upile uŵaagosele ŵandu ŵakwe,
19 And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power,
ni kugamanyilila machili gakwe gamakulungwa nnope kwetu uwe ŵatukwakulupilila. Machili gagakupanganya masengo mwa uweji ni gakulandana ni machili gamakulungwa gala,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places,
gaŵatumie paŵansyusisye Kilisito ni kuntamika kunkono wakwe wa kundyo wa machili kwinani.
21 Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, (aiōn g165)
Kweleko Kilisito ali jwankulu pachanya pa achakulu wose ni ŵaali ni ulamusi wose ni machili ni mamwenye. Ni liina lyakwe lili lyekulu pachanya meena gaakupegwa ŵandu pa chilambo chi ni chilambo chachikwika. (aiōn g165)
22 And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church,
Akunnungu ŵapele Kilisito ulamusi pa indu yose. Nombe Akunnungu ammisile aŵe ntwe wa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti alongosye indu yose.
23 Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ali chiilu cha Kilisito, nombewo ali utindimisyo wa Kilisito ŵakutimisya indu yose.
