Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Kwa ligongo li, une che Paolo, ndili jwantawe kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa ligongo ngunnalichila ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Isyene mpilikene kuti, kwa upile wao, Akunnungu ambele masengo ga kwa ligongo lyenu.
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Akunnungu amunukulile nachimanye chindu chantemela chachisisiche, mpela inalongolele kunnembela kwa wipi.
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Ni ŵanyamwe mwasyomaga yeleyi, chinkombole kumanyilila inguti kuumanyilila ntemela wa Kilisito.
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;
Kalakala ŵandu nganamanyiswa chantemela cho, nambo sambano Akunnungu ŵaunukulile achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵao ŵaswela achimanyilile chantemela cho kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ntemela wene ni weleu, kwa litala lya Ngani Jambone ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi akupegwa ni Akunnungu upile wao yalumo ni Ŵayahudi. Ŵandu wo ali iŵalo ya chiilu chimo, nombewo akupochela iyoyo liuto lya indu ya chilanga cha Akunnungu kwa litala lya Kilisito 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.
Natendekwe katumetume jwa Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ntuuka wa umbone wambele Akunnungu kwa litala lya machili gao.
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;
Uneji ndili mundu jwannandi kupunda ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu, nambo Akunnungu ambele ntuuka wa kwalalichila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi Ngani Jambone ja upile wa Kilisito wangaukukomboleka kuŵalanjikwa.
9 And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
Nasagulikwe kuti naalosye ŵandu wose chantemela cha Akunnungu yachikuti pakupanganya masengo. Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile indu yose, ŵasisile chantemela cho kwa iŵelesi yose chitandile kalakala. (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,
Nambo sambano, kwa litala lya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵakutawala ni ŵaali ni machili kwinani alumanyilile lunda lwa Akunnungu mu indu yose.
Akunnungu ŵatesile yele kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu mpela iŵasachile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Kwa kulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa kwakulupilila ŵelewo tukukombola kwajaulila Akunnungu nkulimbila ni pangali lipamba.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Nipele ngunchondelela kuti kasintenguka ntima kwa kulaga kungulaga kwa ligongo lyenu, pakuŵa ayi yose ili kwa ligongo lya ukulu wenu.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwa ligongo li ngutindiŵala kwapopela Atati,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
kutyochela kukwao ngosyo syose kwinani ni pachilambo tutupochele meena ga usyene.
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu, ŵaali winji wa ukulu, anlimbisye mitima jenu kwa machili ga Mbumu jwakwe.
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ni Kilisito atame mmitima jenu kwa chikulupi. Ngumpopelela kuti nkole michiga ni kwima nkulimbila mu unonyelo wa Akunnungu,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
kuti ŵanyamwe pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, yauli chitando ni uleu ni mu chikwesya ni mu kwendesya.
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Isyene, nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, waukupunda umanyilisi wose ni kwayele ngumbaswe ni ujenelo wose wa Akunnungu.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Twakusye Akunnungu ŵakukombola kutendekanya gamakulungwa nnope kupunda itukuiŵenda ni kuiganisya, kwa litala lya machili gao gagakupanganya masengo nkati mwetu.
