Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah Yeshua:
Paulo, unu ndi ntumwa ya Yesu Kristo kwe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, kubhanu bhauhye ku lwa Nyamuanga bhanu bhali Efeso na bhanu bhali bhalengelesi mu Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe gunu ogusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Ratabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah,
Nyamuanga na Rata wa Ratabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo ayanibhwe likusyo. Niwe omwene achiyanile amabhando go mwoyo, mulubhaju lwa mulwile munda ya Kristo.
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
Chichali kumogwa echalo, Nyamuanga achisolele bhanu eswe chikilisishe Kristo. Achisolele eswe koleleki chibhe bhalengelesi bhanu chitali ne solo imbele yae.
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga achisolele kubhwambilo kwo kuchigega kuti bhana bhae ku njila ya Kristo. Akolele kutyo kwainsonga akondelewe okukola chinu endaga.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
Echisokanati Nyamuanga kakuibhwa ku chigongo cha likushyo lyae. Chinu nicho achiyanile bhusa ku njila yo mwendwa wae.
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Kulwokubha ku mwendwa wae, chili no kuchungulwa ku lwa insagama yae, okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi. Chinalyo linu kulwainsonga yo bhunibhi bhwe chigongo chae.
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Akolelele echigongo chinu chibhe chamfu kulwa ingulu yeswe kulwobhwengeso no kusombokelwa.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Nyamuanga akolele imenyekane kwiswe echimali chinu chaliga chiselekele ombwisombolo, okusokana no bhukalaliye bhunu bhwabhonekene munda ya Kristo.
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
Omwanya gunu akatungu keile ko bhisombolo bhwae, Nyamuanga kabhita amwi bhuli chinu cha mulwile ne cha ingulu ye chalo munda ya Kristo.
11 We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
Okulabhila ku Kristo chaliga chisolelwe omwanya guchali. Jinu jasokene kuunu kakola ebhinu bhyona kwe lyenda lyae.
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah.
Nyamuanga akolele kutyo koleleki chibheo kwa likusho lyae. Chabhee bha kwamba okubha nobhuigi munda ya Kristo.
13 In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Jabhee ku njila ya Kristo ati mwonguhye ligambo lye chimali, emisango jo bhwana jo kuchungulwa kwemwe ku njila ya Kristo. Jaliga jili kumwene ona ati mwekilisishe no kutulwako olunyamo no Mwoyo Mwelu unu aliga alagilwe.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Omwoyo nigwo gulio okukinga okulya omwandu anu gulibhonekanila. Inu yaliga ili okwikuya kwa likusho lyae.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is among you and the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
Ku lwa insonga inu, okwambila omwanya gunu nonguhye ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe munda ya Latabhugenyi Yesu na ingulu ye lyenda lyemwe kubhanu bhona bhauhye ingulu yae.
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Nchali kusiga okumusima Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe no kubhaika mwi sabha lyani.
17 that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
Enisabha ati Nyamuanga wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, lata walikusho, kabhayana omwoyo gwo bhwengeso, obhusululilo bhwo bhwenge bwae.
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,
Enisabha ati ameso gemwe agamumwoyo gabhone obhwelu kwimwe okumenya niki obhuyali bhwo kubhilikilwa kwemwe. Enisabha ati mumenye obhunibhi bhwa likusho lyo mwandu gwae agati ya bhanu bhauhye ingulu yae.
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Enisabha ati mumenye obhukulu bhunu obhukila amanaga gae munda yeswe bhanu chikilisishe. Obhukulu bhunu obhusokana no kukola emilimu kwa managa gae.
20 which he worked in Messiah when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
Ganu ni managa ganu kakolaga munda ya Kristo omwanya gunu Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mubhafu no kumwinyanja mukubhoko kwe bhulyo mulubhaju lwa mulwile.
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Amwiyanjishe Kristo ingulu kula no bhutangasha, obhuinga, amanaga, likusho, na bhuli esina linu elyaikwa. Amwinyanjishe Yesu talilati kwo mwanya gunu nawe no mwanya gunu gulija ona. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
Nyamuanga abhigonyishe ebhinu bhyona emwalo ya magulu ga Kristo. Amukolele omwene kubha mutwe ingulu ye bhinu bhyona mwi kanisa.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Likanisa ati nigwo omubhili gwae, obhukumiye bhwae unu kejusha ebhinu bhyona ku njila jona.
