Waefesu 3
1 Su neni Paulu, nwera mushibetubetu toziya numtendera Yesu Kristu kwajili ya mwenga wantu yamuwera ndiri Wayawudi, numuluwa Mlungu.
For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--
2 Nakaka mwenga mupikanira kuwera Mlungu kwa manemu gakuwi, kampananiti neni lihengu ali nulitendi kwa mbotu ya mwenga.
if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,
3 Mlungu kangubutuliti nuyimani bada ayi. Nongiti kwa ufupi hera muluhamba alu kuusu shitwatila ashi,
and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.
4 mwenga pamvibetula visoweru vyaneni hamuwezi kuvimana ntambu yanuvimana bada ayi ya Kristu.
By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ
5 Makashu wantu Wagambilitwi ndiri bada ayi, kumbiti vinu Mlungu kawagubutuliti kupitira Rohu gwakuwi kwa wantumintumi wananagala wakuwi na wambuyi wakuwi.
which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit--
6 Bada yeni ndo ayi, kwa njira ya Shisoweru Shiwagira wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wawanka matekeleru ga Mlungu pamuhera na Wayawudi, woseri awa wawera wantu wa nshimba yimu na kwa pamuhera woseri wankuwanka lagilu yakayitakuliti Mlungu kupitira Kristu Yesu.
I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Neni wantenda kuwera ntumintumi gwa Shisoweru Shiwagira kwa manemu ga gweka gakanupiti Mlungu, kwa uwezu wakuwi mkulu.
in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.
8 Neni namdidika kuliku wantu woseri wa Mlungu, kumbiti kanupiti manemu gakuwi su nuwabweleri wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, Shisoweru Shiwagira sha ulunda wakuwi Kristu, yawupimika ndiri,
To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted--to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,
9 na kutenda wantu wavimani mpangu wa bada ya Mlungu yayififikiti ntambu yayitenda lihengu. Mlungu yakaumbiti vintu vyoseri, kayififiti bada yakuwi kwanjira lupaga lwa pasipanu. (aiōn g165)
and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things-- (aiōn g165)
10 Su vinu kwa njira ya shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, wakulu na yawawera na makakala kumpindi kwa Mlungu wapati kulumana luhala ntambu Mlungu yakana luhala muvitwatira vyoseri.
concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.
11 Mlungu kashitenditi shitwatila ashi kugenderana na mafiliru gakuwi ga mashaka goseri, aga kagatenditi kupitira Yesu Kristu Mtuwa gwetu. (aiōn g165)
Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Su mukulikolera pamuhera na Kristu na kwa kumjimira Yomberi, twenga tupata lupenyu patuwera na unakaka tumgendera Mlungu kwa matumbiru.
in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him.
13 Su nankuwaluweni namuwuya kumbeli toziya ya ntabika yampata toziya ya mwenga, ntenda hangu toziya ya ukwisa wa mwenga.
Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.
14 Toziya ayi numsuntamalira Tati kumluwa,
For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,
15 yakawera shanjiru sha kaya zyoseri pasipanu na kumpindi.
from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name,
16 Numuluwa Mlungu kulawirana na ukwisa wakuwi mkulu, kawapanani mwenga makakala kupitira Rohu gwakuwi muweri wagangamala mngati mwa mwenga,
to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.
17 su nankuluwa kuwera Kristu kalikali mumyoyu ya mwenga kupitira njimiru. Numuluwa Mlungu mpati kuwera na mishigira na lyanjiru lya mafiliru,
I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,
18 su muwezi kuvimana pamuhera na wantu woseri wa Mlungu ntambu mafiliru ga Kristu gaeneya kwa utali na upana kwa kimu na kina.
as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth--
19 Yina, mpati kumana mafiliru ga Kristu gagapita mahala goseri, mmemiziwi nakamu visoweru vyakuwi vyoseri vya Mlungu.
yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.
20 Mlungu kaweza kutenda vitwatira vikulu nentu kuliku vilii vyatuweza kuviluwa ama kuvihola, kwa makakala gakuwi gagatenda lihengu mngati mwa twenga,
Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts--
