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:
Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, nekune vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
2 Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu uye Ishe Jesu Kristu.
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:
Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari uye Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, wakatiropafadza neropafadzo yese yemweya pazvinhu zvekudenga muna Kristu;
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:
sezvaakatisarudza maari pasati pava nekuvambwa kwenyika, kuti tive vatsvene, uye vasingamhuriki pamberi pake murudo,
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
agara atitemera mukuitwa vana kwaari kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, sekuda kwakanaka kwechido chake,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
kuve rumbidzo yekubwinya yenyasha dzake, madziri wakatiropafadza muMudikanwi;
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
watine dzikunuro maari neropa rake, iyo kanganwiro yekudarika, zvichienderana nefuma yenyasha dzake,
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
dzaakawanza kwatiri mukuchenjera kwese neungwaru,
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
azivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chechido chake, sekushuva kwakanaka kwake kwaakaronga pachake;
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:
kuti pakubata kwekuzara kwenguva, aunganidze pamwe zvinhu zvese muna Kristu, zvese zviri kumatenga nezviri panyika;
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:
imo maari, muna iye matakawanawo nhaka, yatakagara tatemerwa zvichienderana nechiga chaiye anoita zvinhu zvese zvichienderana nezano rechido chake,
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
kuti tive rumbidzo yekubwinya kwake, isu takatanga kuvimba kuna Kristu;
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,
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 until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
ari rubatso rwenhaka yedu, rwuve rudzikunuro rwezvakawanikwa, kurumbidzo yekubwinya kwake.
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Naizvozvo iniwo ndakati ndanzwa zverutendo rwenyu muna Ishe Jesu nerudo kuvatsvene vese,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
handiregi kukuvongerai, ndichikurangarirai paminyengetero yangu;
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:
kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vekubwinya, akupei mweya wekuchenjera newechakazarurwa paruzivo pamusoro pake;
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,
meso efungwa dzenyu avhenekerwa kuti muzive kuti tariro yekudana kwake chii, uye fuma yekubwinya kwenhaka yake pavatsvene chii,
19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty 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 own right hand in the heavenly [places],
raakashandisa muna Kristu, achimumutsa kubva kuvakafa, nokumugarisa kuruoko rwake rwerudyi panzvimbo dzekudenga,
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)
kumusoro-soro kweutongi hwese, nesimba, neukuru, neushe, nezita rega-rega rinodanwa, kwete kwenguva ino chete, asi kune inouyawo; (aiōn g165)
22 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
akaisawo zvese pasi petsoka dzake, akamupa kuva musoro pamusoro pezvese kukereke,
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
ndiwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadzisa zvese mune zvese.
