Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Christ Jesus:
Une che Paolo, nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵankutama ku Efeso, ŵankukulupilichika nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngummendela upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;
Twakusye Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Pakuŵa nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, atupele uwe upile wose waukutyochela kwinani kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
Namose chilambo chikanaŵe gumbikwa, Akunnungu ŵatusagwile uwe kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, kuti tuŵe ŵaswela ni ŵangali sambi paujo pao. Kwa ligongo lya unonyelo wao,
5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Akunnungu ŵasachile chitandile kundanda, ni ŵatusagwile uwe, kuti tutendekwe ŵanache ŵao kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni iŵatite pakunonyelwa ni kusaka.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
Nipele twalape Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya umbone wao wekulu, pakuŵa ŵatupele Mwanagwao juŵannonyele nti ntuuka.
7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito uwe tukuwombolwa kwa miasi jao, yaani tukulecheleswa sambi syetu. Yele ni wautite ukulu wa upile wao,
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
uŵatujitilile kwakuchuluka kwa lunda lose ni umanyilisi wakwe wose.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Akunnungu atesile achila chiŵasakaga kuchipanganya. Atumanyisye yantemela yaisachile amalichisye kwa litala lya Kilisito.
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
Yeleyo chiitendekwe pa katema kakaŵichikwe ni Akunnungu, pachasonganganye indu yose pamo yaili kwinani ni yaili mu chilambo ni yose ilongoswe ni Kilisito.
11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uwe twasagulikwe tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe mpela iŵatite pakusaka Akunnungu chitandile kalakala. Akunnungu akupanganya indu yose mpela yakuti pakusaka ni kulamula nsyene.
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
Kwa yeleyo, uweji ŵatulongolele kwakulupilila Kilisito, tuulape ukulu wa Akunnungu.
13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe, mwapilikene utenga wa usyene, yaani Ngani Jambone jajikunnyichisya ukulupusyo. Mwakulupilile Kilisito, nombe Akunnungu kwakulosya kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe, kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito annembile chimanyisyo kwakumpa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakulanga kalakala.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Mbumu jo ni jwakwimilila indu yose yalanjile Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. Chindu chi chikutumanyisya kuti Akunnungu chiŵawombole ŵandu ŵakwe. Tuulape ukulu wakwe.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,
Kwa ligongo lyo, chitandile panapilikene inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
une nganguleka kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu. Ngunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
Ngwendelechela kwapopela Atati ŵaali ni ukulu, Akunnungu ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, ampe ŵanyamwe Mbumu jwakwe kuti nkole lunda ni chiunukuko kuti nkombole kwamanyilila ŵelewo uchenene.
18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu ambunukule mitima jenu kuti nkombole kulola lilanguka lyakwe kuti mmanyilile chilolelo chammilasile ni ukulu wekulungwa wa upile uŵaagosele ŵandu ŵakwe,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
ni kugamanyilila machili gakwe gamakulungwa nnope kwetu uwe ŵatukwakulupilila. Machili gagakupanganya masengo mwa uweji ni gakulandana ni machili gamakulungwa gala,
20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
gaŵatumie paŵansyusisye Kilisito ni kuntamika kunkono wakwe wa kundyo wa machili kwinani.
21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Kweleko Kilisito ali jwankulu pachanya pa achakulu wose ni ŵaali ni ulamusi wose ni machili ni mamwenye. Ni liina lyakwe lili lyekulu pachanya meena gaakupegwa ŵandu pa chilambo chi ni chilambo chachikwika. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
Akunnungu ŵapele Kilisito ulamusi pa indu yose. Nombe Akunnungu ammisile aŵe ntwe wa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti alongosye indu yose.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ali chiilu cha Kilisito, nombewo ali utindimisyo wa Kilisito ŵakutimisya indu yose.
