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, 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 Ulusungu luve kulyumue nulu tengano luno luhuma kwa Nguluve Nhaata ghwitu Yesu Kilisite.
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord 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 all spiritual blessings in heavenly places 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.
According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (agape)
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 predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his 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, wherein he has made us accepted 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 redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Akavombile ulusungu alwakuuti luve lwinga vwimila vwitu nuluhala kukagula
Wherein he has abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 U Nguluve akavombile lukagulike kulyusue luve kyang'haani lulikuvusyefu pa mbombo, kuhumilanila uvunoghelua vuno vufwikulilue mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has purposed in himself:
10 Unsiki ghuno amasiki gjalyakwiline kuvupesie uvwa vutavike vwa mwene, u Nguluve alafivika palikimo ifiinu fyoni ifya kukyanya ifya kisina mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
That in the dispensation of the fullness 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 Mwa Kilisite tukasalulivue muluvilo ye ghukyale unsiki. Lukale kuhumilanila nimbombo ja juno ivomba ifinu fyoni kuluvilo lwa vughane vwa mwene.
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
12 U Nguluveakavombile ulwakuuti tunoghele kujigha mulughinio lwa vwitike vwa mwene. Tukale vakwasia kuva nulukangasio mun'kate mwa Kilisite.
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in 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.
In whom all of you also trusted, after that all of you heard the word (logos) of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that all of you believed, all of you were sealed with that holy Spirit (pneuma) of promise,
14 U Mhepo gwe atusaghile vuhasi vwitu mpaka kutema pano vuliva vuvoneka. Ulu lukale mu lughinio lwa mwitike ghwa mwene.
Which is the earn of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto 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.
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love (agape) unto all the saints,
16 Nanibuhilile kukumongesia u Nguluve vwimila vwinu kange kukuvakemela mu nyifunyo sango.
Cease not to give 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 unto you the spirit (pneuma) of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
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 understanding being enlightened; that all of you may know what is the hope of his calling, and 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 what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
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 wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
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 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 U Nguluve afibikile ifinu fyoni pasi pa maghulu gha Kilisite. Avikile umwene umuutu ghwa mwene pakyanya pa fiinu fyoni mulukong'ano.
And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to 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 fullness of him that fills all in all.
