Aefeso 3
1 Nĩ ũndũ wa gĩtũmi gĩkĩ, niĩ Paũlũ, njohetwo nĩ ũndũ wa kũhunjia ũhoro wa Kristũ Jesũ kũrĩ inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ:
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles, —
2 Ti-itherũ nĩmũiguĩte ũhoro wa ũrĩa ndaheirwo ũtungata wa wega wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wanyu,
if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;
3 na nĩguo ũhoro wa hitho ũrĩa ndaamenyithirio na ũndũ wa kũguũrĩrio nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa nyandĩkĩte na njĩra nguhĩ.
how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Mwathoma ũhoro ũyũ, nĩmũkũhota kũmenya ũrĩa ndaakuũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wa hitho wa Kristũ,
whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 ũrĩa ũtaamenyithirio andũ a njiarwa ingĩ, ta ũrĩa rĩu ũguũrĩirio atũmwo a Ngai atheru o na anabii nĩ Roho.
which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6 Naguo mũbango wa Ngai nĩ atĩ, andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩmatuĩkĩte agai hamwe na andũ a Isiraeli, na nĩmatuĩkĩte ciĩga cia mwĩrĩ ũmwe, na makagwatanĩra thĩinĩ wa kĩĩranĩro gĩa Kristũ Jesũ nĩ ũndũ wa kũhunjĩrio Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega.
[to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
7 Ndaatuĩkire ndungata ya Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega nĩ ũndũ wa kĩheo kĩrĩa ndaaheirwo kĩa wega wa Ngai hotithĩtio nĩ hinya wake.
whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 O na gũtuĩka nĩ niĩ mũnini mũno harĩ andũ a Ngai othe, nĩndaheirwo wega ũcio: nĩguo hunjagĩrie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ ũtonga wa Kristũ ũrĩa ũtangĩmenyeka ũrĩa ũigana,
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 na ndaũragĩre andũ othe ũhoro wa hitho ĩno, ĩrĩa ĩtũire ĩhithĩtwo kuuma o tene, thĩinĩ wa Ngai o we wombire indo ciothe. (aiōn g165)
and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Itua rĩake rĩarĩ atĩ, na ũndũ wa kanitha, ũũgĩ wa Ngai ũrĩa wa mĩthemba mĩingĩ ũmenyithanio kũrĩ aathani, na kũrĩ arĩa marĩ na ũhoti kũu igũrũ,
to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 kũringana na ũrĩa aatũire atanyĩte gwĩka kuuma o tene, na ũrĩa aahingirie arĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, Mwathani witũ. (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 Na ithuĩ nĩ ũndũ wa gũkorwo tũrĩ thĩinĩ wake, na nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, no tũthengerere Ngai tũrĩ na ũmĩrĩru, na tũtarĩ na guoya.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũmũthaitha mũtikoorwo nĩ hinya tondũ wa mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa ndĩranyariirwo nayo nĩ ũndũ wanyu, tondũ nĩyo riiri wanyu.
Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.
14 Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga ndurie ndu ndĩ mbere ya Ithe witũ,
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
15 o we ũrĩa andũ othe a nyũmba yake, arĩa marĩ igũrũ na arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ metanagio nake.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Nĩhooyaga Ngai, atĩ kuuma ũtonga-inĩ wa riiri wake, amũheage hinya, nĩgeetha mũhotithĩtio nĩ Roho wake-rĩ, mũgĩe na ũhoti thĩinĩ wanyu,
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;
17 nĩgeetha Kristũ atũũrage ngoro-inĩ cianyu na ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia. Na ningĩ nĩhooyaga atĩ inyuĩ mũhaandwo nĩguo mũgĩe na mĩri na mwĩkindĩre thĩinĩ wa wendani,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 nĩguo mũgĩe na hinya, mũrĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa angĩ othe aamũre, na mũhotage kũmenya ũrĩa wendani wa Kristũ waramĩte, na ũrĩa ũraihĩte na igũrũ, na ũrĩa ũrikĩte na thĩ,
may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 o na mũmenye wendani ũcio ũkĩrĩte ũmenyo wothe, nĩguo mũiyũrĩrĩrio na ũiyũru wothe wa Ngai.
and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
20 Na rĩrĩ, kũrĩ Ngai ũrĩa ũhotaga gwĩka maũndũ marĩa mothe tũmũũragia kana tũgeciiria, na agakĩrĩrĩria mũno kũringana na ũhoti wake ũrĩa ũrutaga wĩra thĩinĩ witũ-rĩ,
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
