Ephesians 3
1 Because [God has done all this for] you non-Jews, I, Paul, [pray for you. I want you to know that it is because I serve] Christ Jesus for your sake that I am in prison.
Afuatane naje nini, Paulo, nempinywa wa Yesu Kilisti kwaajili yinyu mubhinsi.
2 I (assume that/think that probably) someone has told you how God acted very kindly toward me, appointing me [so that I would proclaim the gospel to you non-Jews].
Imanya aje muvwizye hunongwayi mbombo yi wene ila Ngulubhi yahampiye kwaajili yinyu.
3 God revealed to me the message that he had not revealed to others. When you read what I have already written briefly about that,
Ihubhasimbila afumilane shezili ugubulwo sheubhugubulilwe lyenahandishe hufupi wikalata ilyingi.
4 you will be able to understand that I understand clearly that message about Christ.
Na bhazya iga ungamanya uwinza wani mulyoli ubhu wewuyifisile hunongwa ya Kilisti.
5 Formerly, [God] did not reveal that message to anyone, but now his Spirit has revealed that message to (his holy apostles and prophets/people who tell messages that come directly from God).
Hu mpapwo inzyinji ilyoli ili sewabhombilwe bhulooleshe hu bhana bhabhantu. Ila kwa sasa umewekwa wazi kwa Roho kwa Mitume waliotengwa na Manabii.
6 That message, which he has now revealed, is that because of our [(inc)] relationship with Christ Jesus, [all of us], non-Jews as well as Jews [MTY], will receive the [great spiritual blessings that God has] promised as we all form one group [MET] [as a result of our believing] the good news [about Christ].
Ilyoli lyelayifisile huhuje abhantu abhi insi bhape bhaahli amwetu na ajumbe bhamwetu bhabhili tilipeka ni ahadi ya Yesu Kilisti ashilile izwi.
7 By God powerfully enabling me, and because God acted kindly toward me, doing what I did not deserve, and chose me [to do that work], I became someone who tells others this good message.
Hwihi imbombishe mbobhambombo humpeysa ya weene ya Ngulubhi yampiye ani ashilile imbombo yi nguvu zyakwe.
8 Although I am the least [worthy] of all God’s people, God kindly [appointed] me to proclaim to the non-Jews the message about the great spiritual blessings that [they can receive] from Christ,
Ungulubhi ahafumizye impesa ini huline hata nkushe ani indi dodo hubhonti hubhala bhabhabaguliliwe hunongwa ya Ngulubhi. Impesya ni huhije ihwanziwa hubhalumbilile abhimbi izwi lyelili nu tabhazi wesebhuleleha kwa Yesu.
9 and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
ihanziwa hubhalumbilile abhantu bhoti aje umpyango gwa Ngulubhi uwisili. Umpango ugu gwahafisilwe amaha minsi gegashilile nu Ngulubhi ya vibhumbile ivintu vyonti. (aiōn g165)
10 [What he planned] was that all (believers/people who belong to Christ) would be the ones who would reveal to all the ranks [DOU] of spiritual beings in heaven that what God had planned is wise in every way.
Ili lyali aje ashilile ishibhanza agosi bhoontu abhapamwanya, bhamanye isehemu inyinji izyi maandi izyi hekima ya Ngulubhi.
11 That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
Iga handigafumiye ashilile umpango wa wila wewukamilishe muhati mwa Yesu Kilisti gosi wetu. (aiōn g165)
12 Because of what he has done and because of our relationship with him, [when we pray] we can approach God confidently and without being afraid.
Pipo hwa Yesu tilinudandamazu nu uwezo uwabhe nu dandamazu hwi dala lyi lwitu hukwakwe.
13 So I ask that you do not be discouraged because of my suffering many things for you [here in prison]. You should feel honored that I am [willing to] suffer [these things for your sake].
Iishi ihumbalabha ingaje azila mwe humayimba gaa kwaajili yinyu, iga tuntumu winyu.
14 Because [God has done all this for you], I kneel [and pray] [MTY] to [God our] Father.
Afuatane ni shi insugamila hwa ngosi.
15 He is the one who is [like] a father of all [the believers who are now in] heaven and those who are still on the earth.
Hwa mwene kila bhantu abah humwanya na bhantu abhapamwanya pansi, likwiziwilwe itawa.
16 I pray that, using his unlimited resources, he will cause you to be strengthened by his Spirit {cause his Spirit to strengthen you} in your (inner beings/hearts) with all [God’s] power.
Ilabha mubhapele uweene afumilane mutabhazi wituntumu wakwe abhabhishe (abhagomye) hu nguvu ashilile hwa Mpepo wakwe, yali muhati mulimwe.
17 That is, I pray that because of your trusting in Christ, his [Spirit] may live in your (inner beings/hearts) (OR, he may live in your hearts). And I pray that because you love [Christ] firmly and faithfully/continually [MET], you,
Ilabha huje UKiristu muhati mmoyo ginyu ashilile ulwitiho.
18 along with all other believers, may be able to know how very [DOU] much Christ loves [us(inc)].
Ilabha huje mubhe ni shinanu umusingi gwi lugano lwakwe mubhe mwigano lyake nke mumanye ahwelewe, peka na bhantu bhebhamwitishe mupana na mutali ni kimo ni kina shi lugano lwa Kitisti.
19 I want you to experience how very deeply he loves us, even though it is not possible for us to understand fully [how much he loves us]. And I pray that God will enable you to be filled with {have a full measure of} all the [qualities of his character that] he himself has.
Ilabha huje mumanye ugosi wi lugano lwa Kiristi lwe lushilile ifahamu. Mubhombe izi nke mumemwe ugolosi wonti uwa Ngulubhi.
20 [God] is able to do much (greater things/more) than we could ask him to do, or even that we might think that he can do, by his power that is working within us.
Ishi hwa mwene yangabhomba ijambo lyolyonti zaidi ya gonti getilabha na getigasibha ashilile hu nguvu zyakwe yibhomba imbombo muhati yitu,
