< 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 am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 Ti-itherũ nĩmũiguĩte ũhoro wa ũrĩa ndaheirwo ũtungata wa wega wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wanyu,
If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 na nĩguo ũhoro wa hitho ũrĩa ndaamenyithirio na ũndũ wa kũguũrĩrio nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa nyandĩkĩte na njĩra nguhĩ.
That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,
4 Mwathoma ũhoro ũyũ, nĩmũkũhota kũmenya ũrĩa ndaakuũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wa hitho wa Kristũ,
Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie 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 ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by 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.
That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by 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 am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall 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,
Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable 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 )
And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ, (aiōn )
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 nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God,
11 kũringana na ũrĩa aatũire atanyĩte gwĩka kuuma o tene, na ũrĩa aahingirie arĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, Mwathani witũ. (aiōn )
According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord: (aiōn )
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.
By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by 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 desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga ndurie ndu ndĩ mbere ya Ithe witũ,
For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 o we ũrĩa andũ othe a nyũmba yake, arĩa marĩ igũrũ na arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ metanagio nake.
(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)
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 might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner 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 heartes by faith:
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,
That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
19 o na mũmenye wendani ũcio ũkĩrĩte ũmenyo wothe, nĩguo mũiyũrĩrĩrio na ũiyũru wothe wa Ngai.
And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse 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,
Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,
21 arogoocwo thĩinĩ wa kanitha na thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, o nginya njiarwa-inĩ ciothe, tene na tene! Ameni. (aiōn )
Be praise in the Church by Christ Iesus, throughout all generations for euer, Amen. (aiōn )
