< 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 Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 Ti-itherũ nĩmũiguĩte ũhoro wa ũrĩa ndaheirwo ũtungata wa wega wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wanyu,
If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is 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 he made known to 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 you read, you may understand my knowledge 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 ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to 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 fellow heirs, 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 was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effectual 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,
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among 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 fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (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 to the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by 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 with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũmũthaitha mũtikoorwo nĩ hinya tondũ wa mĩnyamaro ĩrĩa ndĩranyariirwo nayo nĩ ũndũ wanyu, tondũ nĩyo riiri wanyu.
Why I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga ndurie ndu ndĩ mbere ya Ithe witũ,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 o we ũrĩa andũ othe a nyũmba yake, arĩa marĩ igũrũ na arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩ metanagio nake.
Of whom the whole family in heaven and 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, to be strengthened with might 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 hearts by faith; that you, 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 able to comprehend with all 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 know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness 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 to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 arogoocwo thĩinĩ wa kanitha na thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, o nginya njiarwa-inĩ ciothe, tene na tene! Ameni. (aiōn g165)
To him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (aiōn g165)
