Vaefeso 3
1 Ndava ya genago, nene Pauli mundu mwenikungiwi ndava ya kumhengela Yesu Kilisitu na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi.
For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, bow my knees in prayer.
2 Chakaka muyuwini kuvya Chapanga, muubwina waki, anigotolili lihengu lenili nihengayi ndava yinu.
Surely you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,
3 Nene namanywisi mu njila ya kugubukuliwa mpangu waki wewafiyiki, niyandiki chihupi lijambu lenili,
how God made the mystery known to me by revelation, just as I have written above in a few words.
4 mwavene pemwisoma malovi gangu muhotola kumanya chenimanya mfiyu wenuwo wa Kilisitu.
When you read what I have written, you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 Mfiyu wenuwo wamanyiswi lepi kwa vandu muviveleku vingi ngati hinu naha cheyimanywiswi na Mpungu Msopi kwa vamitumi na vamlota vaki vamsopi va Chapanga.
which in previous generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
6 Uwu ndi mfiyu wene, mu njila ya Lilovi la Bwina vandu vagali Vayawudi vipata pandu pavi pamonga na Vayawudi mumota za Chapanga. Vene higa yilayila na vihanganila pamonga lilagizu lilalila leahengili Chapanga kwa njila ya Kilisitu Yesu.
This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of God's promise in Christ through the gospel.
7 Nene nihengiwi kuvya muhengaji wa Lilovi la Bwina kwa njombi ya ubwina wa Chapanga yeanipeli kwa ndava ya uhengaji wa uhotola waki.
I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the working of his power.
8 Pamonga nene mwenivii mdebe kuliku vandu voha va Chapanga, nambu anitangatili ubwina waki, muni nivakokosela vandu va milima umahele wa Kilisitu wangapimika.
This grace was given to me, the very least of all the saints, to preach among the Gentiles the good news of the boundless riches of Christ,
9 Nahaguliwi muni nivajovela vandu voha valola mpangu wa mfiyu wa Chapanga chewihenga lihengu. Chapanga mweawumbili vindu vyoha afiyili mfiyu waki kutumbula kadeni. (aiōn g165)
and to bring to light for everyone the plan of the mystery that has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ. (aiōn g165)
10 Muni hinu, mu njila ya msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu, na vachilongosi na vana uhotola pamulima wa chimpungu, vahotola kumanya luhala lwa Chapanga munjila ndalindali.
The purpose of bringing this to light is that, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms,
11 Chapanga ahengili lijambu lenili kulandana na mpangu waki wa magono goha gangali mwishu leahegili, mu njila ya Kilisitu Yesu Bambu witu. (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose that God has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu na kwa sadika yitu, tete tihotola kumhambila Chapanga kwa ukekesi changali wogohi.
Because of Christ and our faith in him, we have boldness and confident access to God.
13 Ndava yeniyo nikuvayupa neju mkoto kudenyeka mtima ndava ya mang'ahiso gegakunikolela ndava yinu, muni genago ndava ya ukulu winu.
Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, which will bring you glory.
14 Ndava ya yeniyo ndi nikumfugamila Dadi,
For this reason I bow my knees in prayer before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 ndi kuhuma kwaki lukolo lwoha pamulima na kunani kwa Chapanga lupokela mahina ga chakaka.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
16 Nikumuyupa Chapanga, kwa umahele wa ukulu waki, avasindimalisa mitima yinu kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi.
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he would grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 Namwene Kilisitu atama mumitima yinu musadika. Nikumuyupa mpata kuvya na mikiga na mkingisa muuganu wa Chapanga,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith,
18 muni muhotola kumanya pamonga na vandu voha va Chapanga uganu wa Kilisitu cheuvili muuvaha na utali na mukukula.
as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may be able to fully comprehend, together with all the saints, how wide and long and deep and high
19 Ena, muhotola kumanya uganu wa Kilisitu umanya woha, ndi mmemeswa neju utimilifu woha wa Chapanga.
is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Chapanga kwa makakala gaki gihenga lihengu mugati yitu ihotola kuhenga mambu gakulu neju hati getiyupa amala kuhololela.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, according to the power at work within us—
