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.
Mu diambu dieno beno Bapakanu, diawu minu Polo ndididi wukangama mu nloko wu Klisto.
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].
Bila ndimbanza luwa phila yididi kisalu ki nlemvo kioki Nzambi kaphana mu diambu dieno.
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,
Mu tsongolo, niandi wunzabikisa matsueki ma lukanu luandi. Mawumomo ndilusudikisidi mu zindambu zi mambu manneni.
4 you will be able to understand that I understand clearly that message about Christ.
Beno tanga wawu buna ma lusudika bumboti boso buididi diela diamamu diambu di matsueki momo ma Klisto.
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).
Muaki mu zitsungi zikhulu Nzambi kasia tuama zabikisa matsueki beni kuidi batu ko banga phila kazabikisidi mawu buabu mu lusadusu lu pheve Yinlongo kuidi bamvuala bandi ayi kuidi mimbikudi miandi.
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].
Dinsueki beni diawu diadi: mu diambu di Nsamu Wumbote, Bapakanu mu kithuadi kiawu ayi Yesu Klisto, babeki minsua va kimosi ayi Bayuda mu tambula kiuka kimosi kioki Nzambi kalembo lundila batu bandi. Beka binama binitu yimosi ayi bafubikini mu tsila yoyo Nzambi kavana mu Klisto Yesu.
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.
Minu ndiyika kisadi ki Nsamu beni Wumboti boso buididi dikaba di nlemvo wu Nzambi; nlemvo wowo kaphana mu lulendo luandi.
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,
Nyinga, minu ndidi mutu wulutidi kambu minsua mu banlongo bosovayi Nzambi wuphana nlemvo wowo, wu samunina kuidi Bapakanu kimvuama ki Klisto bu kabulendi tezakana ko.
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)
Ayi mu diambu di sudikisa bumboti va meso ma batu boso, buevi Nzambi, mutu wuvanga bima bioso, kalembo dukisila matsueki momo masueko thama; (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.
muingi buabu, mu nzila yi Dibundu, minyadi ayi bakulutu boso badi mu diyilu bazaba buididi diela di Nzambi mu ziphila zioso;
11 That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
banga bu kakubikila mawu tona thama momo malembo dedakana mu Klisto Yesu, Pfumu eto. (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.
Mu diambu diandi ayi mu diambu di minu mu niandi buabu tubeki minsua mu telama va zizi ki Nzambi mu diana dioso.
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].
Diawu ndikululomba, lubika vonga mu diambu di ziphasi ziama ziozindilembo moni mu diambu dieno; bila ziawu zidi nkemboꞌeno.
14 Because [God has done all this for you], I kneel [and pray] [MTY] to [God our] Father.
Diawu ndieta fukimina, va ntuala Tata;
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.
bila mu niandi makanda moso ma batu bawilukila madi va ntoto ayi ku diyilu batambudila dizina.
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.
Ndinkulombanga, boso buididi kimvuama ki nkemboꞌandi, mu diambu kalukindisa mu lulendo mu nzila yi Pheve andi mu matedi mutu wu khati.
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,
Ayi mu diambu di Klisto kavuanda mu mintima mieno mu minu. Ndinlombanga diaka ti beno lumena mianzi ayi lutungu bumboti mu luzolo.
18 along with all other believers, may be able to know how very [DOU] much Christ loves [us(inc)].
Buna buawu bobo lulenda baka bu sudikila va kimosi ayi banlongo boso phila luzolo lu Klisto luididi siadila, kula, phinda ayi zangama,
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.
ayi zabila luzolo beni ti luawu luviatukidi nzayulu yoso ayi muingi luba bafuluka mu kinzambi kioso ki Nzambi.
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.
Bika mutu wowo wulenda vanga mu buwombo-wombo viokila momo tueti lombanga voti tueti yindulanga boso buididi lulendo luandi lolo lueti sala mu beto,
