Ephesians 1
1 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints, who are at Ephesus, even the faithful in Christ Jesus;
Njame Paulo, mutumwa wa Klistu mwakuyanda kwa Lesa. Ndalembelenga bantu ba Lesa bali ku Efenso bashomeka mubuyumi bwabo bwekatana ne Klistu.
2 grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Kwinamoyo ne lumuno bibe nenjamwe kufuma kuli Lesa, Bata ne Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things by Christ;
Katulumbaishani Lesa baishi Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu. Pakwinga mukwikatana pamo ne Klistu, Lesa walatupa colwe ciliconse ca mushimu kufuma Kwilu kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa.
4 according as he hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unblameable before Him in love:
Lesa katanalenga cishi walatusalila limo cebo cakwikatana pamo ne Klistu kwambeti tukabe bantu bakendi baswepa babula kampenda. Cebo ca lusuno lwakendi.
5 having before appointed us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will;
Lesa walabambilalimo kwambeti tukabe banabendi kupitila muli Yesu Klistu, pakwinga ecalamukondwelesha kayi encalikuyanda mwine.
6 to the praise of his glorious grace, whereby He hath made us acceptable in the Beloved:
Katulumbaishani Lesa cebo ca bulemeneno ne kwina moyo kwakendi nkwalatupa kupitila mu Mwanendi ngwasuni.
7 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Kupitila mu lufu lwakendi, Yesu walatusungulula kayi tukute kulekelelwa bwipishi. Cakubinga kwinamoyo kwa Lesa nikunene,
8 wherein He hath abounded towards us with the highest wisdom and prudence;
nkwalatupa kupitila mu mano ne lwinshibo lwakendi.
9 having made known to us the secret of his will, according to his good pleasure, which He had before purposed in Himself:
Lesa walensa ciliconse ncalikuyanda ne kuyubulula kuli njafwe bubambo bwakendi bwalikuba bwasolekwa mucindi cakunyuma mbwalikuba wasalilalimo kwambeti bukwanilishiwe muli Klistu.
10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might reduce all things, both in heaven and on earth, under one head in Christ:
Lino cakashika cindi celela ca bubambo ubu, Lesa nakabike pamo bintu byonse mubwendeleshi bwa Klistu, bintu bya kwilu ne bintu bya pacishi capanshi.
11 even in Him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated to it according to the purpose of Him who effecteth all things after the counsel of His own will:
Bintu byonse nibikenshike kwelana ne mwine Lesa ncalayeyenga, kayi Lesa ewalatusala kuba bantu bakendi pakwikatana pamo ne Klistu kwelana ne kuyanda kwakendi kufuma pacitatiko.
12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Neco, afwe twalatanguna kuba ne kupembelela kulico muli Klistu, katulumbaishani bulemeneno bwa Lesa.
13 In whom ye also trusted, when ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also when ye believed, ye were sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
Kayi nenjamwe mwalaba bantu ba Lesa kufuma pa cindi ncomwalanyumfwa mulumbe wancinencine, Mulumbe Waina walamuletela lupulusho. Mwalashoma muli Klistu, nendi Lesa walasuminisha pakubikapo cando cakendi palinjamwe ca Mushimu Uswepa ngwalamulaya,
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance, till the redemption of his purchased possession, to the praise of his glory.
Pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa engwalabenga Lesa, ecitondesho ca kwambeti nitukatambule colwe ico ncalalaya kupa bantu bakendi, lino tukute kwamba mu lushomo kwambeti Lesa nakalubule bantu bakendi. Neco katulumbaishe bulemeneno bwakendi.
15 Wherefore I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
Pacebo ici, kufuma pacindi ncendalanyumfwa sha lushomo lwenu muli Yesu Mwami wetu kayi ne lusuno ndomukute ku bantu ba Lesa.
16 and your love to all the saints, cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Cindi conse ndalumbanyanga Lesa pacebo canjamwe mu mipailo yakame, nkankute kuluba kwambapo sha njamwe sobwe.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him,
Ndapailinga ne kusengeti Lesa wa Mwami wetu Yesu Klistu, Ishetu wabulemeneno amupe mushimu kwambeti mube ne mano ne kunyumfwishisha cena bintu mbyalayubululunga Lesa kwambeti mumwishibe cena.
18 and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints;
Ndapailingeti myoyo yenu icaluke ibone cena mumuni, kwambeti mukenshibe cena kwambeti kupembelela nkwalamukwili Lesa nicani, ne kwinshiba kwina kwabulemu ne colwe ico Lesa ncalashomesha bantu bakendi.
19 and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength;
Kayi nicakubingeti mwinshibe ngofu shakendi shabula cakwelanikako isho shilasebensenga muli njafwe otwashoma. Ishi ningofu shabula cakwelanikako.
20 which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places,
Isho Lesa nshalasebensesha pakumupundusha Klistu kubafu nekumwikalika ku cikasa cakendi cakululyo Kwilu.
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)
Klistu Wekala pacipuna cabulemu capita bendeleshi bonse bamu makumbi, batangunishi bonse bakute ngofu kayi ne bami bonse. Ukute lina lyalemekwa kupita maina onse alipo pacino cindi nambi eti akabeko cindi cilesanga kuntangu. (aiōn g165)
22 and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
Lesa walakoma bintu byonse nekubibika panshi pa bwendeleshi bwa Klistu kayi walamubika pelu pa bintu byonse kwambeti abe mutwi wa mubungano.
23 which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.
Mubungano emubili wa Klistu, kayi ewesulilwa ne Klistu, uyo ukute kwisusha bintu byonse cakupwililila.
