Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Une che Paolo, nduna jwa Kilisito Yesu kwa unonyelo wa Akunnungu. Ngunnembela ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ŵankutama ku Efeso, ŵankukulupilichika nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu.
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Ngummendela upile ni chitendewele kutyochela kwa Akunnungu Atati ŵetu ni kwa Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Twakusye Akunnungu ŵaali Atati ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito. Pakuŵa nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, atupele uwe upile wose waukutyochela kwinani kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
4 according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
Namose chilambo chikanaŵe gumbikwa, Akunnungu ŵatusagwile uwe kuti tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, kuti tuŵe ŵaswela ni ŵangali sambi paujo pao. Kwa ligongo lya unonyelo wao,
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Akunnungu ŵasachile chitandile kundanda, ni ŵatusagwile uwe, kuti tutendekwe ŵanache ŵao kwa litala lya Che Yesu Kilisito. Yeleyi ni iŵatite pakunonyelwa ni kusaka.
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
Nipele twalape Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya umbone wao wekulu, pakuŵa ŵatupele Mwanagwao juŵannonyele nti ntuuka.
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito uwe tukuwombolwa kwa miasi jao, yaani tukulecheleswa sambi syetu. Yele ni wautite ukulu wa upile wao,
8 in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
uŵatujitilile kwakuchuluka kwa lunda lose ni umanyilisi wakwe wose.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
Akunnungu atesile achila chiŵasakaga kuchipanganya. Atumanyisye yantemela yaisachile amalichisye kwa litala lya Kilisito.
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
Yeleyo chiitendekwe pa katema kakaŵichikwe ni Akunnungu, pachasonganganye indu yose pamo yaili kwinani ni yaili mu chilambo ni yose ilongoswe ni Kilisito.
11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
Kwa kulumbikana ni Kilisito, uwe twasagulikwe tuŵe ŵandu ŵakwe mpela iŵatite pakusaka Akunnungu chitandile kalakala. Akunnungu akupanganya indu yose mpela yakuti pakusaka ni kulamula nsyene.
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
Kwa yeleyo, uweji ŵatulongolele kwakulupilila Kilisito, tuulape ukulu wa Akunnungu.
13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
Ni ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nombe, mwapilikene utenga wa usyene, yaani Ngani Jambone jajikunnyichisya ukulupusyo. Mwakulupilile Kilisito, nombe Akunnungu kwakulosya kuti ŵanyamwe ndi ŵandu ŵakwe, kwakulumbikana ni Kilisito annembile chimanyisyo kwakumpa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakulanga kalakala.
14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Mbumu jo ni jwakwimilila indu yose yalanjile Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakwe. Chindu chi chikutumanyisya kuti Akunnungu chiŵawombole ŵandu ŵakwe. Tuulape ukulu wakwe.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
Kwa ligongo lyo, chitandile panapilikene inkuti pakwakulupilila Ambuje Che Yesu ni inkuti pakwanonyela ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu,
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
une nganguleka kwatogolela Akunnungu kwa ligongo lyenu. Ngunkumbuchila mmapopelo gangu.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
Ngwendelechela kwapopela Atati ŵaali ni ukulu, Akunnungu ŵa Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito, ampe ŵanyamwe Mbumu jwakwe kuti nkole lunda ni chiunukuko kuti nkombole kwamanyilila ŵelewo uchenene.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu ambunukule mitima jenu kuti nkombole kulola lilanguka lyakwe kuti mmanyilile chilolelo chammilasile ni ukulu wekulungwa wa upile uŵaagosele ŵandu ŵakwe,
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
ni kugamanyilila machili gakwe gamakulungwa nnope kwetu uwe ŵatukwakulupilila. Machili gagakupanganya masengo mwa uweji ni gakulandana ni machili gamakulungwa gala,
20 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
gaŵatumie paŵansyusisye Kilisito ni kuntamika kunkono wakwe wa kundyo wa machili kwinani.
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
Kweleko Kilisito ali jwankulu pachanya pa achakulu wose ni ŵaali ni ulamusi wose ni machili ni mamwenye. Ni liina lyakwe lili lyekulu pachanya meena gaakupegwa ŵandu pa chilambo chi ni chilambo chachikwika. (aiōn g165)
22 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
Akunnungu ŵapele Kilisito ulamusi pa indu yose. Nombe Akunnungu ammisile aŵe ntwe wa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito kuti alongosye indu yose.
23 which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ali chiilu cha Kilisito, nombewo ali utindimisyo wa Kilisito ŵakutimisya indu yose.
