Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Pacebo ici, ame Paulo encondasungilwa mujele, cebo cakusebensela Klistu Yesu. Ndamupaililinga kuli Lesa amwe bantu bamishobo.
2 If all of you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you:
Ndashometi mwalanyumfweti Lesa mukwina moyo kwakendi walampa ncito yakukambauka mulumbe wakendi kulinjamwe.
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
Ndamulembele mwakufumfwipisha mbuli Lesa ncalayubulula kuli njame mano akendi asolekwa.
4 Whereby, when all of you read, all of you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Mwabelenga ncondalembe ni mwinshibe lwishibo lwakame lwasolekwa alambanga sha Klistu.
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; (pneuma)
Mu masuba akunyuma bantu nkabali kwambilwapo awa mano asolekwa, nomba cino cindi Lesa layubululunga kuli batumwa ne bashinshimi bakendi kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa.
6 That the Gentiles should be join heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ico casolekwa nicakwambeti kupitila mu Mulumbe Waina, bantu bamishob naimbi pamo ne Bayuda nabo belela kutambulako colwe ca Lesa, pakwinga naboyo ni bilama bya mubili umo, kayi belela kumantamo lubasu mu malayano ngwalabamba Lesa kupitila muli Klistu Yesu.
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Ndalaba musebenshi wa Mulumbe Waina kupitila mu cipo cabulyo cakendi capalubasu ico Lesa ncalampa kupitila mu kusebensa kwangofu shakendi.
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Ame ndemung'ana kupita bantu ba Lesa bonse, nsombi Lesa walampa colwe ca kukambauka Mulumbe Waina ku bantu bamishobo naimbi ulambanga sha buboni butapu bwa Klistu,
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
kayi ne kwambeti bantu bonse benshibe bubambo bwakendi nceti busebense, ubo Lesa walabumba bintu byonse mbwalikuba wasoleka kwa byaka bitabelengeke. (aiōn g165)
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Pa cino cindi layandangeti, kupitila mu mubungano, ne bangelo abo balendeleshenga kayi bakute ngofu Kwilu, benshibe mano a Lesa apusanapusana.
Lesa walenseco kwelana ne bubambo bwakendi bwacindi conse mbwalakwanilisha kupitila muli Klistu Yesu Mwami wetu. (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Mukwikatana pamo ne Klistu, kayi kupitila mulushomo lwetu mulyendiye, twasunguluka kumushikila Lesa kwakubula kutonshanya.
13 Wherefore I desire that all of you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Neco ndamusengengeti kamutatyompwa cebo ca mapensho ngondamupengelenga, kupenga kwakame ni kwambeti mucanemo bwinishi.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Pacebo ici ndasuntamanga kuli Lesa Bata,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
uko mukowa wonse wa kwilu ne pa cishi ca panshi nkokute kucana lina lyancinencine.
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit (pneuma) in the inner man;
Ndapailinga kuli Lesa kwambeti kufuma mu buboni bwakendi bwacindama amupe ngofu kupitila mu Mushimu wakendi kwambeti muyume mu myoyo yenu.
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that all of you, being rooted and grounded in love, (agape)
Kayi ndapailingeti kupitila mu lushomo ndomukute, kwambeti Klistu ekale mu myoyo yenu. Kayi ndapaileti mube ne miyanda yashimpa mulusuno kayi mwibake buyumi bwenu bonse mulusuno,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
kwambeti amwe pamo ne bantu bonse ba Lesa, mucikonse kwinshiba kukonempa ne kutalimpa ne mushimba ne kuya panshi kwalusuno lwa Klistu.
19 And to know the love (agape) of Christ, which passes knowledge, that all of you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ee, ndapailingeti mulwinshibe lusuno lwakendi Klistu lwapita mano onse abantu, kayi kwambeti Lesa esushe cakupwililila buyumi bwakendi mulinjamwe.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Lino bulemeneno bupewe kuli Lesa uyo, kupitila mu ngofu shakendi shilasebensenga muli njafwe, wela kutupa conse ncetwela kusenga nambi kuyeyapo.
