VaEfeso 3
1 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nokuda kwenyu imi veDzimwe Ndudzi:
For this reason, I Paul, the prisoner of the Christ Jesus on account of you Gentiles,
2 Zvirokwazvo makanzwa zvokugoverwa kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri nokuda kwenyu,
if, indeed, you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God, which was given to me for your benefit,
3 kuti chakavanzika chakaziviswa kwandiri nokuzarurirwa, sezvandakatonyora muchidimbu.
that by revelation was made known to me the mystery, (as I briefly wrote above,
4 Mukuverenga izvi, ipapo muchagona kunzwisisa maonero andinoita chakavanzika chaKristu,
so that, when you read, you can see my understanding in the mystery of the Christ, )
5 chisina kuziviswa kuvanhu kana mamwe marudzi sezvachakaratidzwa zvino noMweya kuvapostori navaprofita vatsvene vaMwari.
which, in other generations, was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 Chakavanzika ichi ndechokuti, kubudikidza nevhangeri, veDzimwe Ndudzi vava vadyi venhaka pamwe chete navaIsraeri uye vava nhengo pamwe chete dzomuviri mumwe chete, vagovani pamwe chete muchivimbiso chiri muna Kristu Jesu.
that the Gentiles should be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in the Christ, through the gospel,
7 Ndakava muranda wevhangeri iri nechipo chenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri kubudikidza nokushanda kwesimba rake.
of which I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God which was given to me, in proportion to the energy of his power:
8 Kunyange ndiri muduku pavanhu vose vaMwari, idzi nyasha dzakapiwa kwandiri: kuti ndiparidze vhangeri kune veDzimwe Ndudzi pfuma yaKristu isinganzwisisiki;
to me, who am by far the least of all the saints, has this grace been given, that I might preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
9 uye kuti ndiratidze pachena kuvanhu vose kugoverwa kwechakavanzika ichi, icho panguva yakare chakanga chakavigwa muna Mwari, iye akasika zvinhu zvose. (aiōn g165)
and enlighten all men with respect to the plan of the mystery, which was concealed from the ages in God, who created all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Zvaaida zvino ndezvokuti, kubudikidza nekereke, uchenjeri hwaMwari hukuru huziviswe kuvatongi navane simba vari muchadenga,
to the end that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known, through the church, to the principalities and authorities in the heavenly regions,
according to the arrangement of the ages, which he established by Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Maari, uye kubudikidza nokutenda kwaari tinogona kusvika kuna Mwari takasununguka uye tisingatyi.
in whom we have boldness and access with confidence, through our faith in him.
13 Naizvozvo, ndinokukumbirai, kuti murege kuora mwoyo nokuda kwamatambudziko angu nokuda kwenyu, anova kukudzwa kwenyu.
For which cause I beseech you not to grow faint on account of my afflictions for you, which are your glory.
14 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, ndinopfugama pamberi paBaba,
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 nokuti mhuri yavo yose iri kudenga napanyika inowana zita rayo kubva kwavari.
from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Ndinonyengetera kuti kubva papfuma yokubwinya kwavo vakusimbisei nesimba noMweya wavo mumunhu womukati,
that he may grant to you, according to the riches of his glory, to be mightily strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,
17 kuti Kristu agare mumwoyo yenyu nokutenda. Uye ndinonyengetera kuti imi, muve nemidzi uye musimbiswe murudo,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through the faith;
18 muve nesimba, pamwe chete navatsvene vose, kuti mubate kuti kupamhamha, nokureba uye kukwirira, nokudzika kworudo rwaKristu kwakadii,
that, being rooted and founded in love, you may be fully able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and hight,
19 uye muzive rudo urwu runopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe kusvikira pachiyero chokuzara kwose kwaMwari.
and to know the love of the Christ that passes our knowledge, that you may be filled with aft the fullness of God.
20 Zvino iye anogona kuita zvikuru zvisingagoni kuyerwa kupfuura zvose zvatingakumbira kana kufunga, maererano nesimba rake riri kushanda mukati medu,
Now to him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to his power which works in us,
