Ephesians 3
1 For this cause [[I bend my knees]], I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you gentiles;
Kwa ligongo lya genego, nne a Pauli, nankutabhwa jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa ligongo lyenu mmanganyanji nninginji bhandu bha ilambo ina.
2 if, indeed, ye heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given me toward you,
Nimumanyi kuti mpilikenenje kuti a Nnungu, kwa nema jabho bhashinkungamuya lyene liengoli ndende kwa ligongo lyenunji,
3 that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
kuti njinkuibhulilwa yene ya ng'iyoyo, malinga shinongolele jandika kwa malobhe gashoko.
4 whereby, when ye read, ye may perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ;
Na nshomangaga genego, shimmumanyanje shinguti kwiimanya indu ya nng'iyo ya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Gwene nng'iyogo bhangalugulilwanga bhandunji bha ibheleko ina, ikabhe nnaino bhashiibhulwanga mitume na bhaalondolanga bha ukonjelo bha a Nnungu kwa Mbumu jwabho,
6 that the gentiles are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers with us of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel;
kuti bhandu bha ilambo ina ni bhalishi pamo na uwe, bha ulishi gumo na shiilu shimo na bha ulongo gumo na uwe kwa malagano gabho kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu kwa Ngani ja Mmbone.
7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God, given to me according to the effectual working of his power.
Njitendwa ntumishi jwa Ngani ja Mmbone, kwa ntuka gubhambele a Nnungu kwa mashili gabho.
8 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to make known among the gentiles the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Nne ni jwanshoko kupunda bhandunji bhowe bha ukonjelo, ikabheje njipegwa ntuka gwabho, nkupinga kwaalungushiyanga bhandunji bha ilambo ina, gwinji gwa indu yabho a Kilishitu shigushitepunda.
9 to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery, which hath been hidden for ages in God, who created all things; (aiōn g165)
Naatendanje bhandunji bhowe bhajimanyanje ngani ja nng'iyo ja gwene ukulungwa. A Nnungu bhapengenye indu yowe bhashinkuiya kuumila bhukala, (aiōn g165)
10 to the intent that now to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions might be known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,
nkupinga nnaino, kupitila likanisha, lunda lowe lwa a Nnungu, lumanyishe kubhowe bhakwetenje mashili bha pa shilambolyo bha kunnungu.
Malinga shibhapanjile bhayene, nng'aniyo yabho kuumila bhukala na ya pitipiti kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu. (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have our boldness and our access in confidence, through faith in him.
Kwa lundana kwetu na a Kilishitu na nkwaakulupalila, tunakombola kwaajendela a Nnungu kwa makangala na ungwana.
13 Wherefore I entreat you not to be disheartened by the troubles I am suffering for you, since they are your glory.
Bhai nnawanganje ntima ga mboteko yangu ingupata kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha yenei ni kwa ukunjelo gwenunji.
14 For this cause I bend my knees to the Father,
Kwa ligongo lya genego ngunakwaatindibhalila kwa malungo Atati,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth receiveth its name,
pabha bhenebho kwa lina lyabho, ulongo gowe gwa pa shilambolyo na gwa kunnungu unalugulwa,
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ngunakwaajuga a Nnungu kwa gwinji gwa ukonjelo gwabho, bhampanganje mashili ga kwiishimilika mmunda kwa Mbumu jwabho.
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, ye having been rooted and grounded in love,
A Kilishitu bhatame mmitima jenunji kwa ngulupai. Ngunakwaajuga nkolanje nnjiga nkupingana,
18 that ye may be able to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
nkupinga mmanganyanji na bhandu bhowe bha ukonjelo nkumanyanje kupinga kwabho a Kilishitu, shiukujenela kwa uleu na uupi, shanga na kujendeya, nngumbaywanje kwa kaje utimililo gowe gwa a Nnungu.
19 and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
Na nkumanyanje kupinga kwabho a Kilishitu kupunda lunda lowe shikushitebha, nngumbaywajwe kwa kaje kutimilila kowe kwa a Nnungu.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Bhai, bhalumbililwe bhenebho bhaakombola tenda indu yowe ya kanganigwa, ipunda indu yowe itujuga eu itukwiganishiya, shigali mashili ga kamula maengo nkati jetu,
