Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles –
Ndava ya genago, nene Pauli mundu mwenikungiwi ndava ya kumhengela Yesu Kilisitu na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi.
2 For you have heard, I suppose, of the responsible charge with which God entrusted me for your benefit,
Chakaka muyuwini kuvya Chapanga, muubwina waki, anigotolili lihengu lenili nihengayi ndava yinu.
3 and also that it was by direct revelation that the hidden purpose of God was made known to me, as I have already briefly told you.
Nene namanywisi mu njila ya kugubukuliwa mpangu waki wewafiyiki, niyandiki chihupi lijambu lenili,
4 And, by reading what I have written, you will be able to judge how far I understand this hidden purpose of God in Christ.
mwavene pemwisoma malovi gangu muhotola kumanya chenimanya mfiyu wenuwo wa Kilisitu.
5 In former generations it was not made known to humanity, as fully as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to the apostles and prophets among Christ’s people –
Mfiyu wenuwo wamanyiswi lepi kwa vandu muviveleku vingi ngati hinu naha cheyimanywiswi na Mpungu Msopi kwa vamitumi na vamlota vaki vamsopi va Chapanga.
6 That, by union with Christ Jesus and through the good news, the Gentiles are coheirs with us and members of one body, and that they share with us in God’s Promise.
Uwu ndi mfiyu wene, mu njila ya Lilovi la Bwina vandu vagali Vayawudi vipata pandu pavi pamonga na Vayawudi mumota za Chapanga. Vene higa yilayila na vihanganila pamonga lilagizu lilalila leahengili Chapanga kwa njila ya Kilisitu Yesu.
7 Of this good news I become an assistant, in virtue of the charge with which God entrusted me in the exercise of his power –
Nene nihengiwi kuvya muhengaji wa Lilovi la Bwina kwa njombi ya ubwina wa Chapanga yeanipeli kwa ndava ya uhengaji wa uhotola waki.
8 Yes, to me, who am less than the least of all Christ’s people, was this charge entrusted! – to tell the Gentiles the good news of the boundless wealth to be found in the Christ,
Pamonga nene mwenivii mdebe kuliku vandu voha va Chapanga, nambu anitangatili ubwina waki, muni nivakokosela vandu va milima umahele wa Kilisitu wangapimika.
9 and to make clear what is God’s way of working out that hidden purpose which from the first has been concealed in the mind of the Creator of all things; (aiōn g165)
Nahaguliwi muni nivajovela vandu voha valola mpangu wa mfiyu wa Chapanga chewihenga lihengu. Chapanga mweawumbili vindu vyoha afiyili mfiyu waki kutumbula kadeni. (aiōn g165)
10 so that now to the archangels and to all the powers on high should be made known, through the church, the all-embracing wisdom of God,
Muni hinu, mu njila ya msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vachilongosi na vana uhotola pamulima wa chimpungu, vahotola kumanya luhala lwa Chapanga munjila ndalindali.
11 in accordance with that purpose which runs through all the ages and which he has now accomplished in Jesus, the Christ, our Master. (aiōn g165)
Chapanga ahengili lijambu lenili kulandana na mpangu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu leahegili, mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu. (aiōn g165)
12 And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.
Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu na kwa sadika yitu, tete tihotola kumhambila Chapanga kwa ukekesi changali wogohi.
13 Therefore I beg you not to be disheartened at the sufferings that I am undergoing for your sakes; for they redound to your honor.
Ndava yeniyo nikuvayupa neju mkoto kudenyeka mtima ndava ya mang'ahiso gegakunikolela ndava yinu, muni genago ndava ya ukulu winu.
14 For this reason, then, I kneel before the Father –
Ndava ya yeniyo ndi nikumfugamila Dadi,
15 from whom all ‘fatherhood’ in heaven and on earth derives its name –
ndi kuhuma kwaki lukolo lwoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga lupokela mahina ga chakaka.
16 and pray that, in proportion to the wealth of his glory, he will strengthen you with his power by breathing his Spirit into your inmost soul,
Nikumuyupa Chapanga, kwa umahele wa ukulu waki, avasindimalisa mitima yinu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
17 so that the Christ, through your faith, may make his home within your hearts in love; and I pray that you, now firmly rooted and established, may, with all Christ’s people,
Namwene Kilisitu atama mumitima yinu musadika. Nikumuyupa mpata kuvya na mikiga na mkingisa muuganu wa Chapanga,
18 have the power to comprehend in all its width and length and height and depth,
muni muhotola kumanya pamonga na vandu voha va Chapanga uganu wa Kilisitu cheuvili muuvaha na utali na mukukula.
19 and to understand – though it surpasses all understanding – the love of the Christ; and so be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ena, muhotola kumanya uganu wa Kilisitu umanya woha, ndi mmemeswa neju utimilifu woha wa Chapanga.
20 To him who, through his power which is at work within us, is able to do far more than anything that we can ask or conceive –
Chapanga kwa makakala gaki gihenga lihengu mugati yitu ihotola kuhenga mambu gakulu neju hati getiyupa amala kuhololela.
