VaEfeso 1
1 Pauro, mupostori waKristu Jesu nokuda kwaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
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 Nyasha norugare zvinobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu nokuna Ishe Jesu Kristu ngazvive kwamuri.
Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, iye akatiropafadza muchadenga nokuropafadza kwose kwomweya muna Kristu Jesu.
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 Nokuti akatisarudza maari nyika isati yasikwa kuti tive vatsvene vasina chavanopomerwa pamberi pake. Murudo
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 akatirongera kare kuti tigoitwa vana vake kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, maererano nomufaro wake uye nokuda kwake,
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 kuti kunakisisa kwenyasha dzake dzaakangotipa hake muna Iye waanoda kurumbidzwe.
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 Iye watine dzikunuro maari kubudikidza neropa rake, iko kuregererwa kwezvivi, zviri maererano nokupfuma kwenyasha dzaMwari
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 dzaakawanza pamusoro pedu nouchenjeri hwose uye nokunzwisisa kwose.
Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Uye akazivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chokuda kwake, maererano nomufaro wake wakanaka, waakafunga muna Kristu, kuti chiitwe pakukwana kwenguva,
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 auyise pamwe chete zvinhu zvose zviri kudenga nezviri panyika pasi pomusoro mumwe, anova Kristu.
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 Iye watakasarudzwawo maari, tarongerwa kare nhaka maererano nokuronga kwaiye anoita zvose mukusimbisa vavariro yokuda kwake,
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 kuitira kuti isu, vakatanga kuva netariro muna Kristu, tive rumbidzo yokubwinya kwake.
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 Nemi makaiswawo muna Kristu pamakanzwa shoko rechokwadi, iro vhangeri rokuponeswa kwenyu. Makati matenda, makaiswa rupau maari nechisimbiso, icho chivimbiso choMweya Mutsvene,
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 anova ndiye rubatso runotitsidzira nhaka yedu kusvikira rudzikinuro rwaavo vari vaMwari chaivo rwaratidzwa, kuti kubwinya kwake kurumbidzwe.
Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 Nokuda kwaizvozvi, pandakanzwa nezvokutenda kwenyu muna Ishe Jesu uye rudo rwenyu kuvatsvene vose,
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 handina kurega kuvonga nokuda kwenyu, ndichikurangarirai muminyengetero yangu.
Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 Ndinoramba ndichikumbira kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vokubwinya, akupei mweya wouchenjeri nokuzarurirwa, kuitira kuti mumuzive zviri nani.
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 Ndinonyengeterawo kuti meso emwoyo wenyu avhenekerwe kuitira kuti mugoziva pfuma yenhaka yake yokubwinya muvatsvene,
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 uye nesimba rake guru risingagoni kuenzaniswa kwatiri isu vanotenda. Iroro simba rakaita sokubata kwesimba rake guru,
And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 raakaita muna Kristu paakamumutsa kubva kuvakafa akamugarisa kuruoko rwake rworudyi mudenga,
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 pamusoro poutongi hwose noukuru, nesimba noushe, uye namazita ose angagona kurehwa, kwete panyika yazvino chete asiwo pane ichauya. (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 Uye Mwari akaisa zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dzake akamugadza kuti ave musoro wezvinhu zvose nokuda kwekereke,
And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
23 iwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadza zvinhu zvose munzira dzose.
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
