Abhaefeso 3
1 Kulwainsonga eyo anye, Paulo, ni mugaya wa Yesu Kristo kulwa ingulu yemwe Abhanyamahanga.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles —
2 Na mwikilishe ati mwonguhye ingulu ye milimu je chigongo cha Nyamuanga inu ananile ingulu yemwe.
For you have heard, I suppose, of the responsible charge with which God entrusted me for your benefit,
3 Enibhandikila okusokana na kutyo obhusululo bhwa suluhye kwanye. Chinu nicho echimali chinu chaliga chiselekele bhunu nandikile kwe chifuyi ku nyalubha eindi.
and also that it was by direct revelation that the hidden purpose of God was made known to me, as I have already briefly told you.
4 Ulasoma ingulu ya ganu, outula okumenya obhwengeso bhwani mu chimali chinu chiselekele ingulu ya Kristo.
And, by reading what I have written, you will be able to judge how far I understand this hidden purpose of God in Christ.
5 Kwa maimbo gandi echimali chinu chitamenyekene ku bhana bha bhanu. Nawe woli bhwatehywe abhwelu kwo Mwoyo ku ntumwa bhanu bhauhye na Abhalagi.
In former generations it was not made known to mankind, as fully as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to the Apostles and Prophets among Christ’s People —
6 Echimali chinu chaliga chibhisile ni kutya abhanu bha Abhanyamahanga nibhanu chili amwi chi mubhili. Nibhamwi mu mulago gwa Kristo Yesu okulabhila emisango jo bhwana.
That, by union with Christ Jesus and through the Good News, the Gentiles are co-heirs with us and members of one Body, and that they share with us in God’s Promise.
7 Na ingulu ya linu nakolelwe mugaya kwe chigongo cha Nyamuanga inu yasosibhwe kwanye okulabhila obhukosi bhwa managa gaye.
Of this Good News I became a minister, in virtue of the charge with which God entrusted me in the exercise of his power —
8 Nyamuanga asosishe echiyanwa chinu kwanye, tali kutyo anye nili mutoto kubhona bhanu bhauhye ingulu ya Nyamuanga. Echiyanwa chinu chibheile okubhalasisha amaanga emisango jo bhwana jinu jili no bhunibhi bhunu bhutakulolwa mu Kristo.
Yes, to me, who am less than the least of all Christ’s People, was this charge entrusted! — to tell the Gentiles the Good News of the boundless wealth to be found in the Christ,
9 jinyiile okubhalasisha abhanu bhona ingulu ya imbisike ya magambo ga Nyamuanga. Gunu Ni msango gunu gwaliga gubhisilwe kwe myaka myamfu jinu jalabhile, na Nyamuanga unu amogele ebhinu bhyona. (aiōn g165)
and to make clear what is God’s way of working out that hidden purpose which from the first has been concealed in the mind of the Creator of all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Inu yaliga ilikutiya, okulabhila Ikanisa, abhatangasha na abhobhuinga mulubhaju lwa mulwile bhabhone okumenya mbala nyamfu ejobhusimuka jo bwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga.
so that now to the Archangels and to all the Powers on high should be made known, through the Church, the all-embracing wisdom of God,
11 Ganu gakabhonekene okulabhila obhwiganilisha bwa kajanende bhunu bhwakumiye munda ya Kristo Yesu Latabhugenyi weswe. (aiōn g165)
in accordance with that purpose which runs through all the ages and which he has now accomplished in Jesus, the Christ, our Master. (aiōn g165)
12 Kulwokubha mu Kristo chili no bhuyali no bhutulo bhwo kwingila kwo bhuyali ingulu ye likilisha lyeswe kumwene.
And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.
13 Kulwejo enibhasabha mutaja kwitimata ku lwokunyansibhwa kwani ingulu yemwe. Ganu nikushyo lyemwe.
Therefore I beg you not to be disheartened at the sufferings that I am undergoing for your sakes; for they redound to your honour.
14 Kwa insonga eyo enibhuma ebhijwi ku Lata.
For this reason, then, I kneel before the Father —
15 unu kumwene bhuli lwibhulo mulwile na ingulu ye chalo yabhilikiwe lisina.
From whom all ‘fatherhood’ in Heaven and on earth derives its name —
16 Enisabha ati abhone okubhabhonekesha, okulubhana no bhunibhi bhwa likusho lyae, abhakole kusimbagilila kwa managa okulabhila Omwoyo gwae, unu ali munda yemwe.
And pray that, in proportion to the wealth of his glory, he will strengthen you with his power by breathing his Spirit into your inmost soul,
17 Enisabhwa ati Kristo alame munda ye mioyo jemwe okulabhila elikilisha.
so that the Christ, through your faith, may make his home within your hearts in love; And I pray that you, now firmly rooted and established, may, with all Christ’s People,
18 Enisabha ati mubhe na litako no bhwambilo bhwe lyenda lyae. Mubhe mulyenda lyae koleleki mubhone okusombokelwa, amwi na bhanu bhekilisishe, kutyo obhugaji, nobhulela bhwe lyenda lya Kristo.
have the power to comprehend in all its width and length and height and depth,
19 Enisabhwa ati mumenye obhukulu bhwe lyenda lya Kristo, bhunu obhukila obhwiganilisha. Mkole ganu koleleki mwijushwe no bhulengelesi bhwona bhwa Nyamuanga.
and to understand — though it surpasses all understanding — the love of the Christ; and so be filled to the full with God himself.
20 Nawoli kumwene unu katula okukola bhuli musango, okukila ganu echisabhwa na ganu echiganilisha, okulabhila amanaga gaye ganu agakola emilimu munda yeswe,
To him who, through his power which is at work within us, is able to do far more than anything that we can ask or conceive —
