Vaefeso 1
1 Nene Pauli, mtumi wa Kilisitu Yesu kwa maganu ga Chapanga. Nikuvayandikila nyenye vandu va Chapanga va ku Efeso, mwemwisadika kuwungana na Kilisitu.
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Tikuvaganila uteke na ubwina kuhuma kwa Chapanga Dadi witu na Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Chapanga alumbiwa na Dadi wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu! Muni, mweatipelili mota ndalindali za chimpungu kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga mu njila ya Mpungu Msopi.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;
4 Hati kwakona kuwumbwa mulima, Chapanga atihagwili tete tivya vandu vaki mukuwungana na Kilisitu muni tivya vamsopi na changali kubuda. Ndava ya uganu waki.
as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:
5 Chapanga amali kutihagula muni tivya tavana vaki mu njila ya Yesu Kilisitu, ndi cheganili na kugana kwaki mwene.
having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Hinu, timulumba Chapanga ndava ya ubwina waki ukulu, ndava atipeli Mwana waki mweamuganili!
to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;
7 Mukuwungana na Kilisitu ndi tigombolewi kwa ngasi yaki na tilekekiswi kumbudila Chapanga. Ndi chauvi ukulu wa ubwina wa Chapanga,
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 weatipeli tete kwa chipimu chivaha neju muluhala lwaki lwoha na umanya.
wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence,
9 Chapanga ahengili chila cheaganili kukita. Na atigubukulili mpangu waki wa mfiyu, weamwili kuutimilisa mu njila ya Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu.
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself;
10 Mpangu wenuwo ndi ngaatimalisi mulukumbi chakaka ndi viumbi vyoha kuvileta pamonga, kila chindu chechivii kunani kwa Chapanga na pamulima, muulongosi wa Kilisitu.
at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:
11 Chapanga ahengili kila chindu kulandana na maganu gaki. Mwene atihagwili mu njila ya kuwungana na Kilisitu. Muni tivya vandu vaki, lijambu leahamwili kutumbula kulikita.
in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:
12 Hinu, ndi tete vetilongolili kumsadika Kilisitu yikutigana kuulumba ukulu wa Chapanga!
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.
13 Mewa na nyenye mwemuyuwini ujumbi wa chakaka ndi Lilovi la Bwina lelileta usangula winu. Mwamsadiki Kilisitu, na Chapanga avikili, ulangisu weulangisa kuvya nyenye ndi vaki, kwa kuvapela Mpungu Msopi mweavalagazili.
In whom ye also trusted after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 Mpungu msopi mwenuyo ndi ulangisu wa kulangisa kuvya chakaka yati tipokela. Lijambu lenilo likutilangisa kuvya yati akutigombola tavoha vetivii vaki. Tiulumba ukulu waki.
which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.
15 Ndava yeniyo, kutumbula panakayuwini ndava ya sadika yinu kwa Bambu Yesu, na uganu winu kwa vandu va Chapanga,
For this cause I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love ye have to all saints,
16 katu nilekili lepi kumsengusa Chapanga ndava yinu. Nikuvaluwula penikumuyupa Chapanga.
have not ceased offering up my praises for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 Niyendelela kumuyupa Chapanga muni Chapanga wa Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu, Dadi wa ukulu, avapela Mpungu waki wa luhala na kuvagubukulila muuhotala kuumanya.
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him;
18 Nikumuyupa Chapanga ayigubukula mitima yinu yihotola kulola lumuli lwaki, muni muhotola kumanya huvalila yila yeavakemelili na ukulu uvaha na njombi zeavavikili vandu vaki.
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,
19 Na kumanya namuna makakala chegihenga lihengu mugati yitu tete vetisadiki chegavili gavaha. Uhotola wenuo uhenga lihengu mugati yitu, ndi makakala gavaha neju,
and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength
20 geamyukisi nagu Kilisitu kuhuma kwavevafwili, akamtamika muchiwoko chaki cha kulyelela kunani kwa Chapanga.
which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
21 Hinu, kwenuko, Kilisitu ndi chilongosi mkulu wa vachilongosi voha va kunani kwa Chapanga, na uhotola woha na makakala na vankosi voha na vachilongosi. Kila liina leliluwuliwa pamulima uwu, nambu mewa pamulima weubwela. (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 Chapanga amupeli Kilisitu kulongosa vindu vyoha na akamvika kuvya mutu wa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu muni avya mkulu wa vindu vyoha.
and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,
23 Vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndi higa ya Kilisitu, na utimilifu waki ndi mwene mweitimilisa vindu vyoha kila pandu.
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
