Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to the saints who are [[in Ephesus]], and believers in Christ Jesus:
Paulo, unu ndi ntumwa ya Yesu Kristo kwe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, kubhanu bhauhye ku lwa Nyamuanga bhanu bhali Efeso na bhanu bhali bhalengelesi mu Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe gunu ogusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Ratabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ;
Nyamuanga na Rata wa Ratabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo ayanibhwe likusyo. Niwe omwene achiyanile amabhando go mwoyo, mulubhaju lwa mulwile munda ya Kristo.
4 according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;
Chichali kumogwa echalo, Nyamuanga achisolele bhanu eswe chikilisishe Kristo. Achisolele eswe koleleki chibhe bhalengelesi bhanu chitali ne solo imbele yae.
5 having in love predestinated us for himself to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga achisolele kubhwambilo kwo kuchigega kuti bhana bhae ku njila ya Kristo. Akolele kutyo kwainsonga akondelewe okukola chinu endaga.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;
Echisokanati Nyamuanga kakuibhwa ku chigongo cha likushyo lyae. Chinu nicho achiyanile bhusa ku njila yo mwendwa wae.
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Kulwokubha ku mwendwa wae, chili no kuchungulwa ku lwa insagama yae, okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi. Chinalyo linu kulwainsonga yo bhunibhi bhwe chigongo chae.
8 which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding;
Akolelele echigongo chinu chibhe chamfu kulwa ingulu yeswe kulwobhwengeso no kusombokelwa.
9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
Nyamuanga akolele imenyekane kwiswe echimali chinu chaliga chiselekele ombwisombolo, okusokana no bhukalaliye bhunu bhwabhonekene munda ya Kristo.
10 in reference to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to gather for himself into one all things in Christ, the things which are in the heavens, and the things on the earth; even in him,
Omwanya gunu akatungu keile ko bhisombolo bhwae, Nyamuanga kabhita amwi bhuli chinu cha mulwile ne cha ingulu ye chalo munda ya Kristo.
11 in whom we also obtained the inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will,
Okulabhila ku Kristo chaliga chisolelwe omwanya guchali. Jinu jasokene kuunu kakola ebhinu bhyona kwe lyenda lyae.
12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who have before placed our hope in the Messiah;
Nyamuanga akolele kutyo koleleki chibheo kwa likusho lyae. Chabhee bha kwamba okubha nobhuigi munda ya Kristo.
13 in whom ye also, after having heard the word of truth, the glad tidings of your salvation, in whom, I say, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit that was promised,
Jabhee ku njila ya Kristo ati mwonguhye ligambo lye chimali, emisango jo bhwana jo kuchungulwa kwemwe ku njila ya Kristo. Jaliga jili kumwene ona ati mwekilisishe no kutulwako olunyamo no Mwoyo Mwelu unu aliga alagilwe.
14 which is a pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
Omwoyo nigwo gulio okukinga okulya omwandu anu gulibhonekanila. Inu yaliga ili okwikuya kwa likusho lyae.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,
Ku lwa insonga inu, okwambila omwanya gunu nonguhye ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe munda ya Latabhugenyi Yesu na ingulu ye lyenda lyemwe kubhanu bhona bhauhye ingulu yae.
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Nchali kusiga okumusima Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe no kubhaika mwi sabha lyani.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him;
Enisabha ati Nyamuanga wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, lata walikusho, kabhayana omwoyo gwo bhwengeso, obhusululilo bhwo bhwenge bwae.
18 the eyes of your mind being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope belonging to his call of you, and what the riches of the glory of the inheritance which he hath given among the saints,
Enisabha ati ameso gemwe agamumwoyo gabhone obhwelu kwimwe okumenya niki obhuyali bhwo kubhilikilwa kwemwe. Enisabha ati mumenye obhunibhi bhwa likusho lyo mwandu gwae agati ya bhanu bhauhye ingulu yae.
19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Enisabha ati mumenye obhukulu bhunu obhukila amanaga gae munda yeswe bhanu chikilisishe. Obhukulu bhunu obhusokana no kukola emilimu kwa managa gae.
20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead; and seated him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
Ganu ni managa ganu kakolaga munda ya Kristo omwanya gunu Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mubhafu no kumwinyanja mukubhoko kwe bhulyo mulubhaju lwa mulwile.
21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
Amwiyanjishe Kristo ingulu kula no bhutangasha, obhuinga, amanaga, likusho, na bhuli esina linu elyaikwa. Amwinyanjishe Yesu talilati kwo mwanya gunu nawe no mwanya gunu gulija ona. (aiōn g165)
22 and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
Nyamuanga abhigonyishe ebhinu bhyona emwalo ya magulu ga Kristo. Amukolele omwene kubha mutwe ingulu ye bhinu bhyona mwi kanisa.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;
Likanisa ati nigwo omubhili gwae, obhukumiye bhwae unu kejusha ebhinu bhyona ku njila jona.
