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] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] 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 all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] 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.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame 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 unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to 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, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
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, 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 toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Chapanga ahengili chila cheaganili kukita. Na atigubukulili mpangu waki wa mfiyu, weamwili kuutimilisa mu njila ya Mwana waki Yesu Kilisitu.
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath 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.
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] 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 an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after 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 trusted 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 that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that 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 redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Ndava yeniyo, kutumbula panakayuwini ndava ya sadika yinu kwa Bambu Yesu, na uganu winu kwa vandu va Chapanga,
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 katu nilekili lepi kumsengusa Chapanga ndava yinu. Nikuvaluwula penikumuyupa Chapanga.
Cease not to give thanks 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, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in 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 ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in 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 [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 geamyukisi nagu Kilisitu kuhuma kwavevafwili, akamtamika muchiwoko chaki cha kulyelela kunani kwa Chapanga.
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
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 power, and might, 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 gave him [to be] the head over all [things] 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.
