Ephesians 3
1 Because of this I, Paul, am 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 I assume that you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God that was given to me for you.
Nimumanyi kuti mpilikenenje kuti a Nnungu, kwa nema jabho bhashinkungamuya lyene liengoli ndende kwa ligongo lyenunji,
3 I am writing according to the revelation made known to me. This is the hidden truth about which I briefly wrote to you.
kuti njinkuibhulilwa yene ya ng'iyoyo, malinga shinongolele jandika kwa malobhe gashoko.
4 When you read about this, you will be able to understand my insight into this hidden truth about Christ.
Na nshomangaga genego, shimmumanyanje shinguti kwiimanya indu ya nng'iyo ya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
5 In other generations this truth was not made known to the sons of men. But now it has been revealed by the Spirit to his apostles and prophets who were set apart for this work.
Gwene nng'iyogo bhangalugulilwanga bhandunji bha ibheleko ina, ikabhe nnaino bhashiibhulwanga mitume na bhaalondolanga bha ukonjelo bha a Nnungu kwa Mbumu jwabho,
6 This hidden truth is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and they share 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 For I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given to me through the working of his power.
Njitendwa ntumishi jwa Ngani ja Mmbone, kwa ntuka gubhambele a Nnungu kwa mashili gabho.
8 This grace was given to me, although I am the least of all the saints, that I should proclaim to the Gentiles the gospel 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 so that I will bring to light for everyone the plan—the mystery 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 This plan was made known through the church so the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places would come to know the many-sided nature of the wisdom of God.
nkupinga nnaino, kupitila likanisha, lunda lowe lwa a Nnungu, lumanyishe kubhowe bhakwetenje mashili bha pa shilambolyo bha kunnungu.
11 This happened according to the eternal plan that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
Malinga shibhapanjile bhayene, nng'aniyo yabho kuumila bhukala na ya pitipiti kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhakulungwa bhetu. (aiōn g165)
12 For in Christ we have boldness and access with confidence because of our faith in him.
Kwa lundana kwetu na a Kilishitu na nkwaakulupalila, tunakombola kwaajendela a Nnungu kwa makangala na ungwana.
13 Therefore I ask you not to be discouraged because of what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
Bhai nnawanganje ntima ga mboteko yangu ingupata kwa ligongo lyenunji, pabha yenei ni kwa ukunjelo gwenunji.
14 For this reason 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 is named.
pabha bhenebho kwa lina lyabho, ulongo gowe gwa pa shilambolyo na gwa kunnungu unalugulwa,
16 I pray that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit, who is in you.
Ngunakwaajuga a Nnungu kwa gwinji gwa ukonjelo gwabho, bhampanganje mashili ga kwiishimilika mmunda kwa Mbumu jwabho.
17 I pray that Christ may live in your hearts through faith, that you will be rooted and grounded in his love.
A Kilishitu bhatame mmitima jenunji kwa ngulupai. Ngunakwaajuga nkolanje nnjiga nkupingana,
18 May you have strength so you can understand, along with all the believers, what is the width, the length, the height, and the depth,
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 that you may know the love of Christ, which goes beyond knowledge, and that you may be filled with 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 to him who is able to do far beyond all that we ask or think, according to his power that works in us,
Bhai, bhalumbililwe bhenebho bhaakombola tenda indu yowe ya kanganigwa, ipunda indu yowe itujuga eu itukwiganishiya, shigali mashili ga kamula maengo nkati jetu,
