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:
Nne a Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmandunji bha ukonjelo nninginji ku Epesho, nkwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu Kilishitu.
2 Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele gwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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:
Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu, Atati bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu! Pabha nkulundana na a Kilishitu, bhashikutupa mboka ya kila namuna ya muntima ikopoka kunnungu.
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:
Malinga shibhatuagwile tubandu bha ukonjelo kwa lundana kwetu na a Kilshitu, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, nkupinga tubhe tubhaukonjelo, na tunakole sha gambwa pa meyo gabho kwa nonyelwa na pinga kwabho bhayene.
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
A Nnungu bhashinkutandubha kutuagula, nkupinga tubhe ashibhana bhabho kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shibhapinjile na kuengwa kwabho bhayene.
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Bhai twainiye a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo gwa nema jabho, jibhatupele kupitila kuka mwanagwabho jubhampinjile!
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Pabha kupitila shiwo sha a Kilishitu uwe tushigombolwa, yani yambi yetu ishileshelelwa. Malinga shigushitebha ukulungwa gwa nema jabho.
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Bhashinkutushulushiya yeneyo kwa lumanyio lowe na lunda lwabho.
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
A Nnungu gubhatendile tuimanye ya nng'iyo kwa pinga kwabho, malinga shibhatumbilile bhayene kutenda, kupitila kwa a Kilishitu.
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:
Yani kubhika ukulungwa pushigamalile mobha gakwe, na kuibhika indu yowe pamo, ya kunnungu na ya pashilambolyo pa mashili ga a Kilishitu.
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:
A Nnungu bhashipinga kila shindu shibhapinjile shitendeshe, bhenebho bhashikutuagula nkulundana kwetu na a Kilishitu nkupinga tubhe tubhandu bhabho.
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Bhai uwe Tubhayaudi, tulongolele kwaakulupalila a Kilishitu, tunapinjikwa kwainiya a Nnungu kwa ukonjelo gwabho!
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,
Na mmanganyanji mmandunji bha ilambo ina, mwapilikenenje ntenga gwa kweli gwa Ngani ja Mmbone, malobhe ga mmbone ga ntapulo gwenunji, gumwaakulupalilenje a Kilishitu na bhalabho a Nnungu nkupinga languya kuti mmanganyanji ni bhabho, gubhampelenje Mbumu jwa a Ukonjelo jwa miadi.
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Jwene Mbumujo ni ngamulo ya poshela gowe gubhalajile a Nnungu kubhandu bhabho, nkupinga kwagombolanga bhowe bhalinginji bhabho. Tuguiniye ukonjelo gwabho!
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Kwa nneyo ngapilikaneje ga ngulupai jenunji ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu na kwaapinganga kwenunji bhandunji bha ukonjelo,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
bhai, na nne ngalibhala kwaatendela eja a Nnungu kwa ligongo lyenunji, ngunakunkumbushilanga nkujuga kwangu,
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:
nkupinga a Nnungu bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, Atati bha ukonjelo, bhampanganje ntima gwa lumanyio na munng'ibhulo gwa kwaamanya bhenebho.
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,
Ng'aniyo ya mmitima jenunji ibhe na shilangaya, nkumanyanje ukoto kushemwa kwenunji nkwaakulupalila bhenebho, shikushitebha na gwinji gwa ulishi gwa ukonjelo gwa bhandu bha a Nnungu,
19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
numbe nngumanyanje ukulu gwa ukonjelo na mashili shigushitebha kwa ligongo lyetu tukwaakulupalila, malinga shiili itendi itendeka kwa mashili gabho,
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],
gubhatendile kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu pubhaayushiye nikwaabhika ku nkono gwabho gwa nnilo kunnungu.
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)
A Yeshu bhanatagwala numbe ni bhakulungwa kupunda bhapalme bhowe bhatagwalanga kunani na mashili gowe na mena gowe, nngabha ga pa shilambolyo pepano na nkali ku shilambolyo shikwiya. (aiōn g165)
22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
A Nnungu gubhabhishile indu yowe kwa mashili gabho, nikwaabhika bhabhe bhakulungwa bha indu yowe kwa ligongo lya bhandu bha a Nnungu.
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Likanisha ni shiilu sha a Kilishitu na lyenelyo ni kutimilila kwa a Kilishitu bhaatenda indu yowe itimilile.
