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:
Njame Paulo, mutumwa wa Klistu mwakuyanda kwa Lesa. Ndalembelenga bantu ba Lesa bali ku Efenso bashomeka mubuyumi bwabo bwekatana ne Klistu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Kwinamoyo ne lumuno bibe nenjamwe kufuma kuli Lesa, Bata ne Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
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,
Katulumbaishani Lesa baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Pakwinga mukwikatana pamo ne Klistu, Lesa walatupa colwe ciliconse ca mushimu kufuma Kwilu kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa.
4 according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
Lesa katanalenga cishi walatusalila limo cebo cakwikatana pamo ne Klistu kwambeti tukabe bantu bakendi baswepa babula kampenda. Cebo ca lusuno lwakendi.
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Lesa walabambilalimo kwambeti tukabe banabendi kupitila muli Yesu Klistu, pakwinga ecalamukondwelesha kayi encalikuyanda mwine.
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
Katulumbaishani Lesa cebo ca bulemeneno ne kwina moyo kwakendi nkwalatupa kupitila mu Mwanendi ngwasuni.
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Kupitila mu lufu lwakendi, Yesu walatusungulula kayi tukute kulekelelwa bwipishi. Cakubinga kwinamoyo kwa Lesa nikunene,
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
nkwalatupa kupitila mu mano ne lwinshibo lwakendi.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
Lesa walensa ciliconse ncalikuyanda ne kuyubulula kuli njafwe bubambo bwakendi bwalikuba bwasolekwa mucindi cakunyuma mbwalikuba wasalilalimo kwambeti bukwanilishiwe muli Klistu.
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;
Lino cakashika cindi celela ca bubambo ubu, Lesa nakabike pamo bintu byonse mubwendeleshi bwa Klistu, bintu bya kwilu ne bintu bya pacishi capanshi.
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,
Bintu byonse nibikenshike kwelana ne mwine Lesa ncalayeyenga, kayi Lesa ewalatusala kuba bantu bakendi pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi kufuma pacitatiko.
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
Neco, afwe twalatanguna kuba ne kupembelela kulico muli Klistu, katulumbaishani bulemeneno bwa Lesa.
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,
Kayi nenjamwe mwalaba bantu ba Lesa kufuma pa cindi ncomwalanyumfwa mulumbe wancinencine, Mulumbe Waina walamuletela lupulusho. Mwalashoma muli Klistu, nendi Lesa walasuminisha pakubikapo cando cakendi palinjamwe ca Mushimu Uswepa ngwalamulaya,
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa engwalabenga Lesa, ecitondesho ca kwambeti nitukatambule colwe ico ncalalaya kupa bantu bakendi, lino tukute kwamba mu lushomo kwambeti Lesa nakalubule bantu bakendi. Neco katulumbaishe bulemeneno bwakendi.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
Pacebo ici, kufuma pacindi ncendalanyumfwa sha lushomo lwenu muli Yesu Mwami wetu kayi ne lusuno ndomukute ku bantu ba Lesa.
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Cindi conse ndalumbanyanga Lesa pacebo canjamwe mu mipailo yakame, nkankute kuluba kwambapo sha njamwe sobwe.
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,
Ndapailinga ne kusengeti Lesa wa Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, Ishetu wabulemeneno amupe mushimu kwambeti mube ne mano ne kunyumfwishisha cena bintu mbyalayubululunga Lesa kwambeti mumwishibe cena.
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,
Ndapailingeti myoyo yenu icaluke ibone cena mumuni, kwambeti mukenshibe cena kwambeti kupembelela nkwalamukwili Lesa nicani, ne kwinshiba kwina kwabulemu ne colwe ico Lesa ncalashomesha bantu bakendi.
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
Kayi nicakubingeti mwinshibe ngofu shakendi shabula cakwelanikako isho shilasebensenga muli njafwe otwashoma. Ishi ningofu shabula cakwelanikako.
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],
Isho Lesa nshalasebensesha pakumupundusha Klistu kubafu nekumwikalika ku cikasa cakendi cakululyo Kwilu.
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)
Klistu Wekala pacipuna cabulemu capita bendeleshi bonse bamu makumbi, batangunishi bonse bakute ngofu kayi ne bami bonse. Ukute lina lyalemekwa kupita maina onse alipo pacino cindi nambi eti akabeko cindi cilesanga kuntangu. (aiōn g165)
22 and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
Lesa walakoma bintu byonse nekubibika panshi pa bwendeleshi bwa Klistu kayi walamubika pelu pa bintu byonse kwambeti abe mutwi wa mubungano.
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
Mubungano emubili wa Klistu, kayi ewesulilwa ne Klistu, uyo ukute kwisusha bintu byonse cakupwililila.
