Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to God's holy people in Ephesus, who are faithful in Christ Jesus.
Paulo, mutugwa wa ng'wa Kristo Yesu ku ulowa nu wang'wi Itunda. Ku awo nai abaguwe kunsoko ang'wa Itunda ni akoli ku Efeso hangi niiza inge ahuiili kung'wa Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ukende utule kitalanyu nu ulyuuku nu upembeeye kung'wi Itunda Tata nu utunu mukulu u Yesu Kristo.
3 May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be praised, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
Itunda hangi Tata nu a mukulu nu itu Yesu Kristo nu apegwe ikulyo. Hangi ng'wenso nai ukukendepile kukiila ukende nua ki ng'wau ng'welu, mu kianza ka kilunde mukati ang'wa Kristo.
4 God chose us in him from the beginning of the world, that we may be holy and blameless in his sight in love.
Ze ikili kuumbwa uunkumbigulu, Itunda ai ukuholanilye usese niiza kuhuiie mung'wa Kristo. Ai ukuholanilye usese iti kuhume kutula elu ni shanga kitukwaa ntongela akwe.
5 God chose us beforehand for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.
Ku ulowa Itunda ai uholanilye u ng'wandyo ku uhola anga ana akweku nzila ang'wa Yesu Kristo. Ai witumile izi kunsoko ai uloeegwe kituma iko nai ukete i nsula.
6 Our adoption results in the praise of his glorious grace that he has freely given us in the One he loves.
Mapumiilo akwe inge kina Itunda ukukuligwa ku ukende nua ikulyo ni lakwe. Iki kiko nai ukinkiiye nankanda ku nzila a mulowa nu akwe.
7 In Jesus Christ we have redemption through his blood and the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Ku nsoko mu mulowa nu akwe, kukete ligunwa kukiila sakami ni akwe. ulekelwa nua milandu. kulikete ili kunsoko a ugoli nua ukende nu akwe.
8 He lavished this grace upon us with all wisdom and understanding.
Ai wutumile ukende uwu kutula widu kunsoko itu mu upolo nu umanyi.
9 God made known to us the hidden purpose of his will, according to what pleased him, and which he demonstrated in Christ,
Itunda ai witumile ikumuke kitaitu iyo itai nai ipihile na masigo, kupumiila ni nsula nai igeelekilemukati ang'wa Kristo.
10 with a view to a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things together, all things in heaven and on earth, under one head, even Christ.
Itungo imatungo akondaniie ku ukondaniili nua masigo akwe. Itunda ukuiika palung'wi kila i kintu ni ka kilunde niki nika migulya ihi mukati ang'wa Kristo.
11 In Christ we were appointed as heirs. We were decided on beforehand according to the plan of him who works out everything according to the purpose of his will.
Mung'wa Kristo ai katulaa kaholanigwa nu kusigiilwa ze ikili imatungo. Iyi ai ituile inge kupumiila ni masigo ang'wa nu itumaa i intu yihi ku isigo nila ulowa wakwe.
12 God appointed us as heirs so that we might be the first to have a certain hope in Christ, so we would be for the praise of his glory.
Itunda ai witumile nianso iti kina kuhume kutula kukoli ku ilumbi nila ikulyo ni lakwe. Ai katulaa kiang'wandyo kutula nu ugimya mukati ang'wa Kristo.
13 In Christ, you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you believed in him and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Ai ituile ku nzila ang'wa Kristo kina ai migule lukani nula tai, nkani ninza nia ugunwa nu anyu ku nzila ang'wa Kristo. Ai ituile ku ng'wenso ga kina mahuiie nu kuikilwa u logo nua ng'wau ng'welu nai wigombigwe.
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we take full possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ung'wau ng'welu yuyo ukuiili nua usali witu kupikiila uhuiili nu ikigeeleka. Iyi ai ituile inge ku ilumbi nu ukulyo ni lakwe.
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's holy people,
Kunsoko iyi, Puma itungo nai nigule lukani kutula uhuiili nu anyu mukati ang'wa Mukulu Yesu nu kutula ulowa nu anyu ku awo ihi naza abaguwe kunsoko akwe.
16 I have not stopped thanking God for you as I mention you in my prayers.
Nkili kuleka kumulumbiilya Itunda anyu nu ku ata mumalompi ane.
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.
Kulompa kina Itunda nua Mukulu nu itu Yesu Kristo. Tata nu ikulyo, wika minkiilya nkolo a upolo, ukunukulwa nua umanyi nu akwe.
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, that you may know the hope to which he has called you and the riches of his glorious inheritance among all God's holy people.
Kulompa kina miho anyu na munkolo aikilwe welu ku nyenye kulinga inge nu u uli uugimya nua kitngwa kitalanyu. Kulompa mulinge kina u ugimya nuikulyo nila usali nu akwe mukati nua awo nai abaguwe kunsoko akwe.
19 In my prayers I ask that you may know the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great strength.
Kulompa kina ulinge u ukulu nu ukilinkiie nua ngulu ni akwe mukati itu niiza kuhuiie. Uwu ukulu inge kupumiila nu kituma milimo mu ngulu ni akwe.
20 This is the same power that God worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
Iyi inge ngulu nai itumile milimo mukati ang'wa Kristo matungo Itunda nai umuukilya kupuma ku ashi nuku mikalinsha mu mukono nu akwe nua kigoha mu kianza ka kilunde. Ai umikalnsilye u Kristo migulya kuli nu utemi, ngulu, uhumi, ukulu ni kila lina nilitegwaa.
21 He seated Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named. Christ will rule, not only in this age, but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
Ai umikalinsilye Yesu shanga kintu ku itungo ili ku iti ku itungo nilipembilye ga. (aiōn g165)
22 God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as head over all things.
Itunda uikilagilye i intu yihi pihi a mugulu ang'wa Kristo. Umuzepilye ng'wenso itwe migulya a intu yihi mi Itekeelo.
23 The church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Inge itekeelo kina lilo muili nu akwe ukondaniili nu akwe niiza wizuligwa i intu yihi mu nzila yihi.
