5 Mlungu kalongiti kala kuwera kupitira Yesu Kristu katutenditi twenga tuweri wana wakuwi, hangu ndo ntambu yakafiriti na shashimuherepeziyiti.
God chose us beforehand for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will.
6 Su twenga tumuzyumi Mlungu manemu gakuwi gana ukwisa, toziya yakatupanana hera Mwana gwakuwi yakamfira nentu!
Our adoption results in the praise of his glorious grace that he has freely given us in the One he loves.

He lavished this grace upon us with all wisdom and understanding.
9 Mlungu katenditi shilii shakapangiti kutenda na katutenditi tugamani galii gagalififiti, gakafiriti kugatenda kupitira Kristu.
God made known to us the hidden purpose of his will, according to what pleased him, and which he demonstrated in Christ,
10 Aga hagatendeki mumashaka galii gakatuliti Mlungu pagasoka, guweriti gwakujojinira viwumbi vyoseri pamuhera, kila shintu kumpindi kwa Mlungu na pasipanu vilongoziwi na Kristu.
with a view to a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things together, all things in heaven and on earth, under one head, even Christ.
11 Vintu vyoseri vitendeka ntambu yakafiriti Mlungu, yomberi katusyagula twenga tuweri wantu wakuwi kwa kulikolerana pamuhera na Kristu ntambu yakafiriti, kaamuwiti hangu kwanjira lupaga.
In Christ we were appointed as heirs. We were decided on beforehand according to the plan of him who works out everything according to the purpose of his will.
12 Su twenga yatulongoleriti kumtumbira Kristu, tufiruwa tuwuzyumi ukwisa wa Mlungu!
God appointed us as heirs so that we might be the first to have a certain hope in Christ, so we would be for the praise of his glory.
13 Na mwenga viraa muwera wantu wa Mlungu, pampikaniriti unakaka wa ujumbi wa Shisoweru Shiwagira shashijegiti ulopoziya. Mwenga mumjimiriti Kristu na Mlungu kawatuliti shilangaliru kuwera wantu wakuwi kwa kuwapanana Rohu Mnanagala yakamlagiliti.
In Christ, you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, you believed in him and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 Rohu Mnanagala ndo yakatutenda tuweri na unakaka kuwanka goseri Mlungu gakawalagiliti wantu wakuwi na shitwatira ashi shitulanguziya nakaka kuwera Mlungu hakawalekiziyi woseri yawawera wakuwi. Tuuzyumi ukwisa wakuwi!
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we take full possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
15 Toziya ayi kwanjira pampikaniriti njimiru yenu kwa Mtuwa Yesu na mafiliru genu kwa wantu wa Mlungu,
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's holy people,
16 ndekiti ndiri kumgambira Mlungu mayagashii toziya ya mwenga. Panumluwa Mlungu nuwalyaluwa ndiri,
I have not stopped thanking God for you as I mention you in my prayers.
17 su numuluwa Tati yakawera na ukwisa, Mlungu gwa Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu, kawapanani Rohu gwakuwi yakawatenda mwenga muweri na luhala na kuwagubutulireni Mlungu, su mwenga hamummani nentu.
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, will give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.
18 Numuluwa Mlungu kawatangi mwenga mpati kulimana litumbiru lilii lyakawashemerani na ukwisa mkulu wa lifupu lya uhala lyakawatuliliti wantu wakuwi,
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, that you may know the hope to which he has called you and the riches of his glorious inheritance among all God's holy people.
19 mpati kuumana uwezu wakuwi ntambu yawuwera mkulu nentu toziya ya twenga yatujimira. Uwezu awu wawutenda lihengu mngati mwa twenga, ulifana na makakala galii makulu nentu
In my prayers I ask that you may know the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great strength.
20 gakamzyukisiyiti Kristu na kamkalasiya pahala pa ukolamlima kumpindi.
This is the same power that God worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
21 Aku Kristu kawera mkulu gwa wakulu, kankukolamlima mukila kolamlima na wanauwezu na makakala na watuwa, kankukolamlima kila rohu yayitumbirwa mupasipanu na pasipanu payiza. (aiōn g165)
He seated Christ far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named. Christ will rule, not only in this age, but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Mlungu kamupananiti Yesu uwezu wa vintu vyoseri na kumtula kuwera mtuwi gwa vintu vyoseri mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu.
God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as head over all things.
23 Shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Mlungu ndo nshimba ya Kristu. Shipinga sha wantu shawamjimira Mlungu shimemiziwa na Kristu na Kristu kamemiziya kila shintu pahala poseri.
The church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
