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:
Nze Pawulo, omutume wa Kristo Yesu, olw’okwagala kwa Katonda, mpandiikira abatukuvu abali mu Efeso, era abakkiririza mu Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ekisa n’emirembe ebiva eri Katonda Kitaffe ne Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo bibeerenga nammwe.
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;
Yeebazibwe Katonda era Kitaawe wa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, atuwadde mu Kristo buli mukisa gwonna ogw’omwoyo oguva mu ggulu.
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;
Yatulonda okubeera mu Kristo ng’ensi tennatondebwa, ffe tube batukuvu, abataliiko kya kunenyezebwa mu maaso ge, olw’okwagala kwe.
5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Olw’okwagala kwe, yatuteekateeka tubeere abaana be mu Yesu Kristo, ng’okusiima kwe bwe kuli.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
Katonda tumutendereze olw’ekisa kye yatuwa obuwa mu Mwana, gw’ayagala ennyo.
7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Mu oyo mwe tununulibwa olw’omusaayi gwe, ne tusonyiyibwa ebibi, ng’obugagga bw’ekisa kye bwe buli,
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
kye yatuwa mu bungi mu magezi gonna ne mu kutegeera kwonna.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Yatubikkulira ekyama eky’okwagala kwe, ng’okusiima kwe bwe kuli kwe yateekerateekera mu Kristo.
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;
Olwo ekiseera ekituufu bwe kirituuka, Katonda alikola byonna bye yateekateeka, n’ateeka ebintu byonna awamu wansi wa Kristo, ebiri mu ggulu n’ebiri ku nsi.
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;
Era mu ye mwe twaweerwa obusika ne twawulibwa ng’enteekateeka bw’eri ey’oyo akola ebintu byonna okusinziira ku magezi ag’okwagala kwe;
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
ffe Abayudaaya tulyoke tumuleetere okugulumizibwa, ffe abaasooka okuba n’essuubi mu Kristo.
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,
Nammwe, Kristo yabaleeta eri amazima, kye kigambo eky’Enjiri ey’okulokolebwa kwammwe. Bwe mwamukkiriza, ne muteekebwako envumbo eya Mwoyo Mutukuvu eyasuubizibwa,
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
gwe musingo gw’obusika bwaffe, okutuusa bw’alinunula abantu be, ne Katonda n’agulumizibwa era n’atenderezebwa.
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,
Noolwekyo okuva lwe nawulira okukkiriza kwe mulina mu Mukama waffe Yesu, n’okwagala kwe mulina eri abantu ba Katonda bonna,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
sirekangayo kwebaza Katonda ku lwammwe. Mbajjukira
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;
ne mbasabira, Katonda wa Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo, Kitaffe ow’ekitiibwa, abawe Omwoyo ow’amagezi n’okubikkulirwa mweyongere okumutegeera.
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,
Nnyongera okubasabira, amaaso g’emitima gyammwe gamulisibwenga, mulyoke mumanye essuubi ly’okuyitibwa kwammwe, n’obugagga obungi bwe mulina mu ye, mmwe awamu n’abantu ba Katonda bonna.
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Njagala mutegeere amaanyi ge agasukkiridde agakolera mu ffe abakkiriza, ng’okukola kw’obuyinza bw’amaanyi ge bwe kuli,
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,
amaanyi ago ge yakozesa mu Kristo bwe yamuzuukiza mu bafu, n’amutuuza ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo waggulu mu ggulu.
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)
Waggulu eyo, Kristo gy’afugira obufuzi bwonna, n’obuyinza bwonna, n’amaanyi gonna, n’obwami bwonna, na buli kitiibwa kyonna ekiweebwa omuntu. Afugira mu mulembe guno, era alifugira ne mu mulembe ogugenda okujja. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
Katonda atadde ebintu byonna wansi w’ebigere bye, n’afuula Kristo omutwe gw’ebintu byonna eby’ekkanisa,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
era ekkanisa gwe mubiri gwe ye yennyini, mwatuukiririza ebintu byonna.
