Waefeso 1
1 Muvughane vwa Nguluve u Paulo n'sung'ua Kilisite Yesu, kuvala vano va baghulivue vwimila vwa Nguluve vano vali ku Efeso vano vitiki mwa Kilisite Yesu.
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, that is, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Ulusungu luve kulyumue nulu tengano luno luhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu Yesu Kilisite.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ.
3 Aghinwaghe u Nguluve u Nhaata ghwa Mutwa ghwitu u Yesu kilisite. Nijova uluo ulwakuuva mwa Kilisite utufunyile mu moojo, ghiitu ni nyifunyo kuhuma kukyanya.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ;
4 Unguluve ye akyale kupela iisi, alyatusalwile kuuva vaana vake vwimila u Yesu Kilisite. Alyavombile uluo kuuti tuve vimike vasila n'kole pamaaso ghako.
just as He[F] chose us in Him[S] before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him[F], in love,
5 Mulughano lwa Nguluve alyatusalwile pavwasio nakutu vika heene vaanha va mwene ku siila ija Yesu Kilisite. Alyavombile n'diiki ulwakuva alyanoghile kuvomba kila kino inoghelua.
having predestined us into an adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, into Him[S], according to the good pleasure of His[F] will,
6 Mumahumile gha mwene kwekuuti u nguluve ighinua kulusungu lwa vitike vwa mwene. Iki kye kighono atupelile vulevule ku siila ja mughane ghwa mwene.
to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He graced us in the Beloved;
7 Ulwakuva umughane ghwa mwene, tulinuvupuko kukilila idanda ja mwene, ulusaghilo lwa nyivi. Tulinalywo iili vwimila vwa vumofu uvwa lusungu lwa mwene.
in whom we have the redemption through His[S] blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His[F] grace,
8 Akavombile ulusungu alwakuuti luve lwinga vwimila vwitu nuluhala kukagula
that He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and intelligent design,
9 U Nguluve akavombile lukagulike kulyusue luve kyang'haani lulikuvusyefu pa mbombo, kuhumilanila uvunoghelua vuno vufwikulilue mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
having made known to us the ‘secret’ of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him[S],
10 Unsiki ghuno amasiki gjalyakwiline kuvupesie uvwa vutavike vwa mwene, u Nguluve alafivika palikimo ifiinu fyoni ifya kukyanya ifya kisina mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
with a view to administering the fullness of the times, so as to bring all things together under one head in Christ—those on the heavens and those on the earth—in Him[S],
11 Mwa Kilisite tukasalulivue muluvilo ye ghukyale unsiki. Lukale kuhumilanila nimbombo ja juno ivomba ifinu fyoni kuluvilo lwa vughane vwa mwene.
in whom we were also assigned an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him[F] who works all things according to the decision of His will,
12 U Nguluveakavombile ulwakuuti tunoghele kujigha mulughinio lwa vwitike vwa mwene. Tukale vakwasia kuva nulukangasio mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
so that we should be to the praise of His glory, we who first trusted in the Christ;
13 Lukale mu sila ja Kilisite kuuti mulyapulike ilisio ilya kyang'haani, ilivangili lya m'poki vwinu kusila ja Kilisite. Lukale mwa mwene kange kuuti mwitike na kubikua umuhuri nhu Mhepo umwimike juno fingilue.
about whom, to be sure, we had heard the true Word—the Gospel of your salvation; by whom, since you also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 U Mhepo gwe atusaghile vuhasi vwitu mpaka kutema pano vuliva vuvoneka. Ulu lukale mu lughinio lwa mwitike ghwa mwene.
who is the down payment on our inheritance until the release of the possession, to the praise of His glory.
15 Vwimila ulu, unsiki ye nipuluke vwimila mu lwitikOK lwinu mun'kate mwa Mutwa Yesu kange vwimila vwa lughano lwinu kuvala vooni vano vabaghulivue vwimila vwa mwene.
Because of this, having heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 Nanibuhilile kukumongesia u Nguluve vwimila vwinu kange kukuvakemela mu nyifunyo sango.
I really do not stop giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
17 Nikufunya kuuti u Nguluve ghwe Mutwa ghwiti Yesu Kilisite, u Nhaata ghwe vwitike, ikuvapela inumbula ija luhala, amasyetulilo gha vukagusi vwa mwene.
that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the real knowledge of Himself,
18 Nikufunya kuuti amaaso ghinu aha munumbula ghapelue ulumuli kulyumue kukagula lwe luliikuulukangasio ulwa kukemelua kulyumue. Nikufinya kuuti mukagule uvumofu uvwa vitiki uvwa vuhasi vwa mwene munkate mu vaala vano vabaghulivue vwimila umwene.
the eyes of your heart having been enlightened, that you may know 1) what is the hope of His[F] calling, and 2) what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 Nikufunya kuuti akagule uvuvaha vuno vukila ingufu ja mwene mun'kate mulyusue juno tukwitika. Uvuvaha uvu kwe kuhumilanila na kuvomba imbombo mhu ngufu sa mwene.
and 3) what the exceeding greatness of His power into us who are believing, according to the demonstration of the extent of His might
20 Iji je ngufu jino jivombile imbombo mun'kate mwa Kilisite unsiki u Nguluve ye asyusisie kuhuma kuva fue na pikum'bika kuluvoko lwa mwene ulwa ndio pala pa vulanga.
which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms,
21 Alyam'bikile kukyanya kuvutali na kutema, uvutavulilua, ingufu, vutua, nilitavua lila lino litambulua. Alya m'bikile u Yesu na kwekuuti unsiki ughu looli ku nsiki ghuno ghu kwisa kange. (aiōn g165)
far above every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next. (aiōn g165)
22 U Nguluve afibikile ifinu fyoni pasi pa maghulu gha Kilisite. Avikile umwene umuutu ghwa mwene pakyanya pa fiinu fyoni mulukong'ano.
In short, He[F] placed everything under His[S] feet, and appointed Him to be Head over everything in the Church,
23 Lwe lukong'ano kuuti ghwe m'bili gha mwene, uvukwilanifu vwa mwene juno imemia ifinhu fyoni ku siila sooni.
which is His body, the complement of Him who fills everything in every way.
