< 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 Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 Ti-itherũ nĩmũiguĩte ũhoro wa ũrĩa ndaheirwo ũtungata wa wega wa Ngai nĩ ũndũ wanyu,
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me towards you,
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 the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Mwathoma ũhoro ũyũ, nĩmũkũhota kũmenya ũrĩa ndaakuũkĩirwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wa hitho wa Kristũ,
by which, when you read, you 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 to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to 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.
that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Ndaatuĩkire ndungata ya Ũhoro-ũcio-Mwega nĩ ũndũ wa kĩheo kĩrĩa ndaaheirwo kĩa wega wa Ngai hotithĩtio nĩ hinya wake.
of which I was made a servant 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,
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to 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 administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through 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 through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
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 accomplished 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 him 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.
Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles 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 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.
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 you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
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 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 strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width 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 Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may 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 who is able to do exceedingly 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 the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
