Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Pauro, mupostori waKristu Jesu nokuda kwaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
2 Grace [be] to you, and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.
3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:
Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, iye akatiropafadza muchadenga nokuropafadza kwose kwomweya muna Kristu Jesu.
4 According as he hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Nokuti akatisarudza maari nyika isati yasikwa kuti tive vatsvene vasina chavanopomerwa pamberi pake. Murudo
5 Having predestinated us to the adoption of children to himself by Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
akatirongera kare kuti tigoitwa vana vake kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, maererano nomufaro wake uye nokuda kwake,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath made us accepted in the beloved:
kuti kunakisisa kwenyasha dzake dzaakangotipa hake muna Iye waanoda kurumbidzwe.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Iye watine dzikunuro maari kubudikidza neropa rake, iko kuregererwa kwezvivi, zviri maererano nokupfuma kwenyasha dzaMwari
8 In which he hath abounded towards us in all wisdom and prudence;
dzaakawanza pamusoro pedu nouchenjeri hwose uye nokunzwisisa kwose.
9 Having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Uye akazivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chokuda kwake, maererano nomufaro wake wakanaka, waakafunga muna Kristu, kuti chiitwe pakukwana kwenguva,
10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might collect in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
auyise pamwe chete zvinhu zvose zviri kudenga nezviri panyika pasi pomusoro mumwe, anova Kristu.
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Iye watakasarudzwawo maari, tarongerwa kare nhaka maererano nokuronga kwaiye anoita zvose mukusimbisa vavariro yokuda kwake,
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
kuitira kuti isu, vakatanga kuva netariro muna Kristu, tive rumbidzo yokubwinya kwake.
13 In whom ye also [trusted], after ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Nemi makaiswawo muna Kristu pamakanzwa shoko rechokwadi, iro vhangeri rokuponeswa kwenyu. Makati matenda, makaiswa rupau maari nechisimbiso, icho chivimbiso choMweya Mutsvene,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
anova ndiye rubatso runotitsidzira nhaka yedu kusvikira rudzikinuro rwaavo vari vaMwari chaivo rwaratidzwa, kuti kubwinya kwake kurumbidzwe.
15 Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love to all the saints,
Nokuda kwaizvozvi, pandakanzwa nezvokutenda kwenyu muna Ishe Jesu uye rudo rwenyu kuvatsvene vose,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
handina kurega kuvonga nokuda kwenyu, ndichikurangarirai muminyengetero yangu.
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ndinoramba ndichikumbira kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vokubwinya, akupei mweya wouchenjeri nokuzarurirwa, kuitira kuti mumuzive zviri nani.
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ndinonyengeterawo kuti meso emwoyo wenyu avhenekerwe kuitira kuti mugoziva pfuma yenhaka yake yokubwinya muvatsvene,
19 And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
uye nesimba rake guru risingagoni kuenzaniswa kwatiri isu vanotenda. Iroro simba rakaita sokubata kwesimba rake guru,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
raakaita muna Kristu paakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa akamugarisa kuruoko rwake rworudyi mudenga,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (aiōn g165)
pamusoro poutongi hwose noukuru, nesimba noushe, uye namazita ose angagona kurehwa, kwete panyika yazvino chete asiwo pane ichauya. (aiōn g165)
22 And put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
Uye Mwari akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake akamugadza kuti ave musoro wezvinhu zvose nokuda kwekereke,
23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.
iwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadza zvinhu zvose munzira dzose.
