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:
Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, nekune vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu uye Ishe Jesu Kristu.
3 Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly regions in Christ;
Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari uye Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, wakatiropafadza neropafadzo yese yemweya pazvinhu zvekudenga muna Kristu;
4 according as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him;
sezvaakatisarudza maari pasati pava nekuvambwa kwenyika, kuti tive vatsvene, uye vasingamhuriki pamberi pake murudo,
5 having in love predestinated us for himself to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
agara atitemera mukuitwa vana kwaari kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, sekuda kwakanaka kwechido chake,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved;
kuve rumbidzo yekubwinya yenyasha dzake, madziri wakatiropafadza muMudikanwi;
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
watine dzikunuro maari neropa rake, iyo kanganwiro yekudarika, zvichienderana nefuma yenyasha dzake,
8 which he made to abound toward us, in all wisdom and understanding;
dzaakawanza kwatiri mukuchenjera kwese neungwaru,
9 having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
azivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chechido chake, sekushuva kwakanaka kwake kwaakaronga pachake;
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,
kuti pakubata kwekuzara kwenguva, aunganidze pamwe zvinhu zvese muna Kristu, zvese zviri kumatenga nezviri panyika;
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,
imo maari, muna iye matakawanawo nhaka, yatakagara tatemerwa zvichienderana nechiga chaiye anoita zvinhu zvese zvichienderana nezano rechido chake,
12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who have before placed our hope in the Messiah;
kuti tive rumbidzo yekubwinya kwake, isu takatanga kuvimba kuna Kristu;
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,
nemwi muna iye, manzwa shoko rechokwadi, evhangeri yeruponeso rwenyu; kuna iyewo matenda kwaari makapiwa mucherechedzo neMweya Mutsvene wechivimbiso,
14 which is a pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
ari rubatso rwenhaka yedu, rwuve rudzikunuro rwezvakawanikwa, kurumbidzo yekubwinya kwake.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and of your love to all the saints,
Naizvozvo iniwo ndakati ndanzwa zverutendo rwenyu muna Ishe Jesu nerudo kuvatsvene vese,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
handiregi kukuvongerai, ndichikurangarirai paminyengetero yangu;
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;
kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vekubwinya, akupei mweya wekuchenjera newechakazarurwa paruzivo pamusoro pake;
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,
meso efungwa dzenyu avhenekerwa kuti muzive kuti tariro yekudana kwake chii, uye fuma yekubwinya kwenhaka yake pavatsvene chii,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
uye kuti ukuru hwakapfuvurisa hwesimba rake kwatiri isu tinotenda chii, maererano nekubata kweusamasimba hwesimba rake,
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,
raakashandisa muna Kristu, achimumutsa kubva kuvakafa, nokumugarisa kuruoko rwake rwerudyi panzvimbo dzekudenga,
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)
kumusoro-soro kweutongi hwese, nesimba, neukuru, neushe, nezita rega-rega rinodanwa, kwete kwenguva ino chete, asi kune inouyawo; (aiōn g165)
22 and put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
akaisawo zvese pasi petsoka dzake, akamupa kuva musoro pamusoro pezvese kukereke,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who filleth all with all;
ndiwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadzisa zvese mune zvese.
