Maefese 3
1 Cheli vaka, Ime, Paulusi, ni musuminwa wa Keriste Jesu we nu bachisi cha masi angi.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
2 Ni akaleza kuti mubazuwi za mitendo ya chisemo che Ereeza che ni bahewa chenu.
Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
3 Ni ñola chakuya chempono i bezibahazwa kwangu. I cho nji buniti buungwilwe bu ni bañoli chavo chavufuhi mulimwi iñolo.
that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
4 Ha chi mwabala izi, kamuole kuzuwisisa impono yangu mwabo buniti buungwile kuamana Keriste.
In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 Mumirahi imwi buniti bo kana bube zibahazwa kubana babantu. Kono hanu chi bu baziba hazwa cha Luhuho kwabaapositola bakwe bajolola ni bapolofita.
which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
6 Uvu vuniti bupatitwe nji kuti Vachisi cha masiangi nabo nji bayola hamwina ni imembala zamubili. Ba va abelwa vonse kwisepiso ya Kerisite Jesu che evengeli.
This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
7 Chobulyo nivavi ni muhikana we vangeli chempo ya chisemo che Ireeza chi ni bahewa chakuya cha misebezi ye ziho zakwe.
I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
8 Ireeza a vahi impo yi kwangu, nihakuti nji ni munini ka kumaniniza kuvena ikalulo ya chiyembe che Ereeza, impo iyo njiyakuti ni wambe ku va chisi cha masiangi i evangeli ya chifumu cha Keresite.
Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 Ni swanela kuwambila vantu vonse kuamana cha mulelo we kunutu ye Ireza. U wo nji mulelo u va humbitwe cha zilimo limo zivamani nji Ireeza, ya va vumbi zintu zonse. (aiōn g165)
and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (aiōn g165)
10 Izo zivakwina bulyo linu hanu, cha kuya che keleke, babusi ni mpuso muchibaka chakwiulu moveze vezibe imbali - zingi zi babumbwa cha butali bwe Ireeza.
His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
11 Izi mu zichitahale chakuya chamulelo wakaya - kuire wa vezuzilizi cha Kirisite Jesu Nfumwetu. (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Mukuti mwa Keresite twina bundume ni kuzumininwa cha isepo ka kuya chetumelo yetu mwali.
In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
13 Linu nihakwinabulyo ni mikumbila kusa zwafa chevaka lyamasukuluko angu chenu. Izo nji kanya yenu.
So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
14 Mokuti chebaka ili ni choola mazwi angu kwa Tayo,
... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
15 uzo kwali masika wonse a kwiulu ni hansi ava sumpwa chakwe.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
16 Ni lapela kuti aku zuminine kukuha, chakuya cha chifumu chekanya yakwe, ka kukozwa chenguzu za Luhuho lwake, lwina kwako.
I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
17 Ni lapela kuti Keresite ahale mwinkulo zenu che ntumelo. Ni lapela kuti ne muzikame mi mukolele mukusakiwa kwali.
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 Mu be mukusunwa kwakwe kokuti muole ku ba ni kutwisiso, hamwina ni bazumine bamwi, njovuhi vule bwa bukando, vule bwa kuya muluhati, vule bwa kuya mwiulu, vule bwa kuya hetako chakusuna kwa lato lya Keresite, lihitilila inzuvo.
will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
19 Ni lapela kuti mwizive bukando bwa kusunwa kwe lato lya Keresite, li hitilila inzibo. Muchite bulyo kokuti mwizuzwe che kwizula kwe Ereeza.
of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Linu kwali yowola kuchita zintu zonse hande, kule heulu ya zintu ze tukumbila kapa kuhupula, chakuya cha maata akwe aseveza mwetu,
Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
