Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Nĩ niĩ Paũlũ, mũtũmwo wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kwenda kwa Ngai, Ndĩrandĩkĩra andũ arĩa aamũre kũu Efeso, arĩa ehokeku thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Wega na thayũ kuuma kũrĩ Ngai Ithe witũ, na Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ, irogĩa na inyuĩ.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
Atĩrĩrĩ, Ngai, o we Ithe wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, arogoocwo, o we ũtũrathimĩte na irathimo ciothe cia kĩĩroho thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, iria ciumaga kũu igũrũ.
4 according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
Nĩgũkorwo o na thĩ ĩtanombwo, Ngai nĩatũthuurire nĩguo tũtuĩke ake thĩinĩ wa Kristũ, nĩguo tũtuĩke atheru na twage ũcuuke maitho-inĩ make. Nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake-rĩ,
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Ngai nĩatuĩte o mbere atĩ nĩtũgaatuĩka ciana ciake nĩ ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ, kũringana na ũrĩa eendete na ũrĩa oonire arĩ wega,
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
nĩguo wega wake ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri ũkumagio, wega ũcio atũheete o ũguo tũhũ thĩinĩ wa Mũriũ wake ũrĩa endete mũno.
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Na twakũũrirwo na ũndũ wa thakame ya Kristũ, na tũkĩrekerwo mehia maitũ, kũringana na ũrĩa wega wa Ngai ũingĩhĩte,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
wega ũcio aatũingĩhĩirie arĩ na ũũgĩ na ũmenyo wothe.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
Nake agĩtũmenyithia hitho ya wendi wake, kũringana na ũrĩa oonire arĩ wega, o ũrĩa aatanyĩte gwĩka thĩinĩ wa Kristũ,
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth—in Him;
nĩguo ũkaahingio rĩrĩa mahinda marĩa magĩrĩire magaakinya, nĩguo acookanĩrĩrie indo ciothe iria irĩ igũrũ na iria irĩ gũkũ thĩ harĩ mũtongoria ũmwe, na nĩwe Kristũ.
11 in whom also we obtained an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who is working all things according to the counsel of His will,
Ningĩ nĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ o na ithuĩ twamũkĩrire igai kuuma kũrĩ Ngai, kũringana na ũrĩa aatuĩte o mbere, o we wĩkaga maũndũ mothe kũringana na muoroto wa wendi wake,
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
nĩguo o na ithuĩ arĩa twarĩ a mbere kwĩhoka Kristũ, tũtuĩke a kũgoocithia riiri wa Ngai.
13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth—the good news of your salvation—in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
Inyuĩ o na inyuĩ nĩmwataranĩirio na Kristũ mwarĩkia kũigua ũhoro-ũrĩa-wa-ma, naguo nĩguo Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũhonokio wanyu. Mwarĩkia gwĩtĩkia, nĩmwekĩrirwo rũũri thĩinĩ wake, na ũndũ wa kũheo Roho Mũtheru ũrĩa mwerĩirwo,
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Nake Roho nĩwe mũrũgamĩrĩri wa kuonania atĩ nĩtũkagaĩrwo igai riitũ nginya rĩrĩa andũ arĩa marĩ a Ngai magaatuĩka a gũkũũrwo, nĩgeetha riiri wake ũgoocagwo.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio, kuuma rĩrĩa ndaiguire ũhoro wa wĩtĩkio wanyu thĩinĩ wa Mwathani Jesũ, o na wendani wanyu ũrĩa mwendaga arĩa othe aamũre naguo-rĩ,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
ndirĩ ndatigithĩria gũcookeria Ngai ngaatho nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ngĩmũririkanaga mahooya-inĩ makwa.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of Him,
Hooyaga atĩ Ngai wa Mwathani witũ Jesũ Kristũ, o we ithe witũ mwene riiri, amũhe Roho, ũrĩa ũkamũhe ũũgĩ na ũguũrio nĩguo mũmenye Ngai wega.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the holy ones,
Ningĩ nĩhooyaga atĩ maitho manyu ma ngoro mathererwo nĩ ũtheri, nĩguo mũmenye ũhoro wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩrĩa amwĩtĩire, na mũmenye ũtonga wa igai rĩake rĩrĩ na riiri, rĩrĩa akaagaĩra andũ ake aamũre,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
o na ũhoti wake mũnene ũtangĩgereka nĩ ũndũ witũ, ithuĩ arĩa twĩtĩkĩtie. Ũhoti ũcio no ta hinya wake mũnene ũkĩruta wĩra,
20 which He worked in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and sat [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
ũrĩa eekĩrire thĩinĩ wa Kristũ rĩrĩa aamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, na akĩmũiga guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo kũu igũrũ,
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
na agatũũgĩrio mũno igũrũ rĩa wathani o wothe na ũhoti wothe, na hinya na ũthamaki wothe, na marĩĩtwa mothe ma ũnene marĩa mangĩheanwo, na to mahinda maya moiki, no nĩ o na mahinda marĩa magooka. (aiōn g165)
22 and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
Nake Ngai akĩiga maũndũ mothe rungu rwa magũrũ make, na akĩmũtua mwathi wa gwathaga maũndũ mothe nĩ ũndũ wa kanitha.
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
Kanitha nĩguo mwĩrĩ wake, na noguo ũiyũru wake, o we ũiyũrĩte maũndũ mothe o na kũndũ guothe.
