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:
Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, nekune vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu uye Ishe Jesu Kristu.
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,
Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari uye Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, wakatiropafadza neropafadzo yese yemweya pazvinhu zvekudenga muna Kristu;
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:
sezvaakatisarudza maari pasati pava nekuvambwa kwenyika, kuti tive vatsvene, uye vasingamhuriki pamberi pake murudo,
5 Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
agara atitemera mukuitwa vana kwaari kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, sekuda kwakanaka kwechido chake,
6 To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
kuve rumbidzo yekubwinya yenyasha dzake, madziri wakatiropafadza muMudikanwi;
7 By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
watine dzikunuro maari neropa rake, iyo kanganwiro yekudarika, zvichienderana nefuma yenyasha dzake,
8 Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
dzaakawanza kwatiri mukuchenjera kwese neungwaru,
9 And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
azivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chechido chake, sekushuva kwakanaka kwake kwaakaronga pachake;
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:
kuti pakubata kwekuzara kwenguva, aunganidze pamwe zvinhu zvese muna Kristu, zvese zviri kumatenga nezviri panyika;
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,
imo maari, muna iye matakawanawo nhaka, yatakagara tatemerwa zvichienderana nechiga chaiye anoita zvinhu zvese zvichienderana nezano rechido chake,
12 That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
kuti tive rumbidzo yekubwinya kwake, isu takatanga kuvimba kuna Kristu;
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,
nemwi muna iye, manzwa shoko rechokwadi, evhangeri yeruponeso rwenyu; kuna iyewo matenda kwaari makapiwa mucherechedzo neMweya Mutsvene wechivimbiso,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.
ari rubatso rwenhaka yedu, rwuve rudzikunuro rwezvakawanikwa, kurumbidzo yekubwinya kwake.
15 Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints,
Naizvozvo iniwo ndakati ndanzwa zverutendo rwenyu muna Ishe Jesu nerudo kuvatsvene vese,
16 I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
handiregi kukuvongerai, ndichikurangarirai paminyengetero yangu;
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,
kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vekubwinya, akupei mweya wekuchenjera newechakazarurwa paruzivo pamusoro pake;
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,
meso efungwa dzenyu avhenekerwa kuti muzive kuti tariro yekudana kwake chii, uye fuma yekubwinya kwenhaka yake pavatsvene chii,
19 And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power,
uye kuti ukuru hwakapfuvurisa hwesimba rake kwatiri isu tinotenda chii, maererano nekubata kweusamasimba hwesimba rake,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places,
raakashandisa muna Kristu, achimumutsa kubva kuvakafa, nokumugarisa kuruoko rwake rwerudyi panzvimbo dzekudenga,
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)
kumusoro-soro kweutongi hwese, nesimba, neukuru, neushe, nezita rega-rega rinodanwa, kwete kwenguva ino chete, asi kune inouyawo; (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,
akaisawo zvese pasi petsoka dzake, akamupa kuva musoro pamusoro pezvese kukereke,
23 Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
ndiwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadzisa zvese mune zvese.
