Maefese 1
1 Paulusi, mu apostola wa Kresite Jesu che ntato ya Ireza, ku vantu ve Ireza va jolola mwa Efesiyasi mi basepahala mwa Kreste Jesu.
Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, to the holy ones who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Messiah Yeshua:
2 Chishemo kwenu ni nkozo kuzwa kwa Ireza ishetu ni Simwine Kreste Jesu.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
3 Ireza nisi wa Simwine Jesu Kreste wetu a lumbekwe, ava tufuyoli ni mbuyoti zonse zo luhuho muzivaka ze wilu mwa kreste.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah,
4 Ireza ava tuketi kuzwa ku matangilo e fasi, kuti tuve va jolola nikusava ni mulandu mu menso akwe.
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
5 Ireza avatulukisezi kale ku añulwa uvu vana chakuya ka Jesu Kreste, chokusaka kwe ntato yakwe.
having predestined us for adoption as children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
6 Kuañulwa kwetu kuzwilira kukulumbwa kwe nkanya ye chishemo chakwe chatuha kokuva avo vasaka.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
7 Mwa Jesu Kreste twina intukuluho cha malaha akwe ni nswalelo ye zivi, cho kuya ko bukando bwe chishemo chakwe.
In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 Ava tuhi chishemo chikando ni vutali ni nkutwisiso.
which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9 Ireeza ava tondezi kwetu mulero wa vali ku patite che ntato yakwe, chokuya kecho chi mutavisa, mi chava vonahazi mwa kreste
making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
10 Musevezi wa kreste ivali mulelo wo kwizula we nako, kuleta zintu zonse hamwina, zintu zonse mwi wulu ni hansi, hansi wo mutwi wonke, nanga Kreste.
to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
11 Mwa Kreste tuva ketiwa kuva va jovoli. Tuva ketwa kwi ntazi muhupulo wakwe yo seveza zintu zonse cho kuya ko mulero wakwe.
We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
12 Ireza wa tu keta kuva va jovoli njokuti tuve va matangilo kuva ni nsepo mwa Kreste, mi tuve va lumba mwi nkanya yakwe.
to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah.
13 Mwa Kreste, inwe nanwe, hanu va zuwi lizwi lye nit, ivangeri ye mpuluso, mi muva zumini mwali mi muva vikwa chisupo chiva sepiswe cho Luho lu Jolola.
In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 Luho lu Jolola chintu chi tometwe ko ku jovola haisi hatutwa ziwana zonse, ke ntumbo ye nkanya yakwe.
who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
15 Kelyi vaka, kuzwa hani va zuwili ze ntumelo yenu mwa Simwine Jesu ne rato lyenu ku ve Reeza va chena,
For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Yeshua which is among you and the love which you have toward all the holy ones,
16 Kena niva siyi kuli tumela kwe Ireza kwenu ni mi wamba mwi ntapelo zangu.
don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Nilapela kuti Ireza wa Simwine wetu Jesu Kreste, Isi we nkanya, kamihe luhuho lwa maano ni kunutu mwi nzivo yakwe.
that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
18 Nilapela kuti menso ye nkulo yenu awole kuvona, kuti mwi zive vundume bwe nsepo kwa misumpila ni chifumu che nkanya yo ku jovola kwavo vantu va jovola va Ireza.
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the holy ones,
19 Mi mwintapelo zangu ni kumbila kuti mwi zive vukando bwe ziho mwetu va zumina, cho kuya ko kuseveza kwizi makando.
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
20 Aya nji mazi aswana awo Ireza ava sevezi mwa kreste hava muvusi kuva fwile niku mwi kazika kwi yanza lye chilyo lya mavaka e wilu.
which he worked in Messiah when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Ava mwikaziki kule kuhita kuvusa konse ni vavusi ni nzivo ni kuyendisa, mi ni mazina ava kuvikitwe. Kreste keta yendise fela mweyi nako, kono ni mwi nako zi keza. (aiōn g165)
far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Ireza ava viki zintu zonse kunsi ya matende a Kreste ni kumuha inchechi kuvusa he wulu ye zintu zonse.
He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
23 Ichechi muvili wakwe, vungi bwakwe yo wizula ni kuizula monse.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
