Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God: To God's people who are in Ephesus--believers in Christ Jesus.
Paulo, n'tume wa Yesu Kristu kwa mapenzi gha K'yara, kwa bhabhatengibhu kwajia ya k'yara bhabhayele Efeso na ndo bhaaminifu kup'etela kristo Yesu.
2 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Neema iyelai kwa yhomo ni amani yayihomela kwa K'yara Dadi wa yhoto na Bwana Yesu Kristu.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has crowned us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
K'yara na Dadi wa Bwana wa yhoto Yesu Kristu apelibhuayi sifa. Nando muene ya atubaliki kwa kila baraka sa kiroho, kup'etela sehemu sa kumbinguni mugati mwa Kristu.
4 even as, in His love, He chose us as His own in Christ before the creation of the world, that we might be holy and without blemish in His presence.
Kabula ya kubhombibhwa ulimwengu, K'yara atuchaguili tete yatiamini kup'etela kristu. Atuchaguili tete ili tubhwesyai kuya bhatakatifu na twatilaumika lepi palongolo pa muene.
5 For He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ--such being His gracious will and pleasure--
Ku'petela lipendo K'yara atuchaguili kamuandi kwa kututwaa kujo bhana munu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristu. Aketili naa kwa ndabha apendisibhu kuketa kela kaatamaniayi.
6 to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One.
Matokeo ghaki yakuwa K'yara itukusibhwa kwa neema ya utukufu bhuake. eke ndo kaatupelili bhuaka kwanjela ya mpendwa bhuake.
7 It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace,
wa ndabha kup'etela mpendwa bhuake, tuyeni uleobubhosi kup'etela muasi wamuene, msamaa was thambi. Tu yenalu ele ndabha ya utajili wa neema sya muene.
8 the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us,
Aketili neema eye ujelai nyingi kwajia yhoto ndabha ya hekima ni kuyelebhwa.
9 when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose
K'yara aketili imanyikanai ukueli wa ujisighili wa mipango, kutokana ni hamu yaidhihilishi bhu mugati mwa Kristu.
10 for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him.
Magono ghatimiliki utimilifu ki mpango wa muene, K'yara alasibheka kila khenu pamonga fya kumbinguni ni fya panani fya mund'ema mugati mwa Kristu.
11 In Him we Jews have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will,
Kup'etela kristu twamalili kuchagulibhwa na kusudi bhwa kabula ya magono. Eye yayele kubhonekana kwa mpango ya iketa fhenu fyoa kusudi la mapenzi gha muene.
12 so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ.
K'yara aketili naa ili ndabha tubhwesya kuya ni noli sya utukufu bhuake. Tayele bhakuanza kuya ni ukifu mugati mwa Kristu.
13 And in Him you Gentiles also, after listening to the Message of the truth, the Good News of your salvation--having believed in Him--were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit;
yele kwanjela ya Kristu kujo mwapeliki lilobhila ukueli, injili ya bhuokovu bhuino kwa njela ya Kristu. Yayele kup'etela muene kabhele kujo mhamini ni kus'opibhwa mhuri wa Roho N'takatifu yaabhaahidi.
14 that Spirit being a pledge and foretaste of our inheritance, in anticipation of its full redemption--the inheritance which He has purchased to be specially His for the extolling of His glory.
Roho ndo zamana ya ulisi wa yhoto hadi umiliki pa wilota kupatikana. Eye yayele ndabha ya noli ya utukufu wa muene.
15 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your love for all God's people,
Kwa ndabha eye, toka magono panap'elekai imani ya yhomo mugati mwa Bwana Yesu ni kup'etela lipenzi linhu kwa bhala bhoa yabhatengibhu kup'etela muene.
16 offer never ceasing thanks on your behalf while I make mention of you in my prayers.
Nilekili he kumshukuru K'yara kwajia ya yhomo ni kubhataja kup'etela maombi ghangu.
17 For I always beseech the God of our Lord Jesus Christ--the Father most glorious--to give you a spirit of wisdom and penetration through an intimate knowledge of Him,
Nis'oma yandabha K'yara wa Bwana wa yhoto Yesu Kristu, Dadi wa utukufu, alabhapela roho ya hekima, mafunuo gha ufahamu bhuake.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened so that you may know what is the hope which His call to you inspires, what the wealth of the glory of His inheritance in God's people,
Nis'oma yandabha mihu gha yhomo gha mmiteema ghasopi bhwa nulu kwa muenga ni kumanya bholoki ukifu wakukutibhwa kwa yhomo. Nis'oma ya kuwa mmanyai utajili wa utukufu wa ulisi bhuake mwa bhala yabhatengibhu ndabha ya muene.
19 and what the transcendent greatness of His power in us believers as seen in the working of His infinite might
Nis'oma ndabha umanyai ubhaa wauzidili nghofo syaki mugati mwayomo yabhamwiamini. Ubhaa obho ni kubhonekana kubhomba mbhombho kup'etela nghofo syake.
20 when He displayed it in Christ by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenly realms,
Eye ndo nghofo yaya fwanyai mbhombho mugati mwayomo Kristu magono K'yara paamfufulai kuhomela ku wafu ni kumtamika mkibhoko Kya muene Kya kulia kup'etela mahali pa kumbinguni.
21 high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come. (aiōn g165)
Atamiki Kristu panani ni patali ni utawala, mamlaka, nghofo, enzi, ni kila lihina lali tajibhwa. Atamika Yesu si kwa magono agha ni magono gha ghihida kabhele. (aiōn g165)
22 God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,
K'yara afitishili fhenu fyoa pasi pa magolo gha Kristu. Amfwanyili muene mutu kunani mu fhenu fyoa mu likanisa.
23 the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.
Ndo mulikanisa kujobhe ndo mbhele wa muene, ukamilifu wa muene kujaza fhenu fyoa kup'etela njela syoa.
