Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe; Epai ya basantu mpe bandimi ya Yesu-Klisto, oyo bazali kati na Efeso:
2 Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
Tika ete lokumu epesamela Nzambe mpe Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, oyo apesi biso kati na bisika ya Likolo, mapamboli nyonso ya Molimo kati na Klisto.
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Pamba te, kati na Klisto, apona biso liboso ete akela mokili, mpo ete tozala bato ya bule mpe bazanga pamela na miso na Ye. Kati na bolingo na Ye,
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
abongisa biso wuta kala mpo ete tozwa makoki ya kokoma bana na Ye na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda bolamu mpe mokano na Ye moko,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
mpo ete tosanzola nkembo ya ngolu na Ye, oyo akabeli biso kati na Molingami na Ye.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Kati na Klisto, tozwi lisiko na nzela ya makila na Ye, mpe bolimbisi ya masumu, kolanda bomengo ya ngolu ya Nzambe
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
oyo akabolelaki biso yango na bofuluki, na kopesa biso bwanya mpe bososoli nyonso,
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
mpe na kolakisa biso mabombami ya mokano na Ye, mabombami oyo abongisa kati na Klisto kolanda bolamu na Ye,
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
mpo na kokokisa yango na tango ya suka: kosangisa kati na Klisto bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali kati na Likolo mpe oyo ezali na mabele.
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Kati na Klisto, Nzambe aponaki biso lisusu mpo ete tokitana na libula na biso, kolanda mabongisi ya Ye oyo akokisaka nyonso, kolanda makanisi ya mokano na Ye,
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
mpo ete tosanzola nkembo na Ye, biso ba-oyo tozalaki bato ya liboso mpo na kotia elikya na biso kati na Klisto.
13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Bino mpe, sima na bino koyoka Liloba ya solo, Sango Malamu ya lobiko na bino, bondimelaki Klisto; mpe Nzambe apesaki bino Molimo Mosantu oyo alakaki mpe, na nzela ya Molimo yango, abetaki bino kashe
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
lokola ndanga ya libula na biso kino basikolami na Ye bakangolama mpo na kosanzola nkembo na Ye.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Yango wana, wuta tango nayokaki sango ya kondima na bino kati na Nkolo Yesu mpe bolingo na bino mpo na basantu nyonso,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
nazongisaka tango nyonso matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo na bino, nakanisaka bino na mabondeli na ngai
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
mpe nasengaka ete Nzambe ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, Tata ya nkembo, apesa bino Molimo ya bwanya mpe ya emoniseli mpo ete bokoka koyeba Ye malamu.
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Nasambelaka ete angengisa miso ya mitema na bino mpo ete bokoka kososola elikya oyo ezali kati na kobengama na bino, bomengo ya nkembo ya libula na Ye, oyo akopesa bino elongo na basantu,
19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
mpe monene makasi ya nguya na Ye mpo na biso oyo tozali na kondima. Abimisaki nguya yango na makasi na yango nyonso
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
mpe asalelaki yango kati na Klisto tango asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi mpe avandisaki Ye na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali kati na Likolo,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
na likolo ya milimo nyonso, ya bokonzi nyonso, ya nguya nyonso, ya bokasi nyonso, mpe ya kombo nyonso oyo bato bakoki kotanga, na tango oyo kaka te kasi mpe na tango oyo ekoya. (aiōn g165)
22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Nzambe atia nyonso na se ya matambe ya Yesu mpe apona Yesu mpo ete akonza nyonso lokola Mokonzi ya Lingomba
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
oyo ezali nzoto na Ye. Nzambe oyo atondisaka nyonso kati na bato nyonso amimonisaka kati na Yesu, na mobimba ya bonzambe na Ye.
