Ephesians 1
1 Polo, mvuala wu Yesu Klisto mu luzolo lu Nzambi, fidisidi nkanda kuidi banlongo badi ku Efeso ayi kuidi bobo badi bakuikama mu Yesu Klisto.
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 Bika Nzambi Dise dieto ayi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto baluvana nlemvo ayi ndembama.
grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Bika Nzambi kakemboso, niandi Dise di Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto! Niandi wutusakumuna mu zitsakumunu zioso zi phila mu phila zi kipheve mu Diyilu mu Klisto.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly things in Christ;
4 Tuamina tula zifundasio zi ntoto, Nzambi wutusobula mu niandi mu diambu tuba banlongo ayi batu bakambulu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi
as he hath elected us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love:
5 Bu didi ti niandi wutuzola, wutukubika tona thama muba bana bandi mu Yesu Klisto; boso buididi luzolo luandi.
having predestinated us for his adopted children by Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 Mu diambu tusanisina Nkembo wu nlemvo wu katuvanina mu kiluzolo kiandi.
to the praise of the glory of his grace, whereby he hath made us acceptable in that beloved one;
7 Mu niandi, beto tukudulu mu menga mandi; tutambudila nlemvo mu masumu meto boso buididi kimvuama ki nlemvoꞌandi.
in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wowo Nzambi kadukula mu buwombo, mu beto, mu nzila yi nzayulu ayi diela di phila mu phila.
wherein he hath abounded towards us with all wisdom and intelligence,
9 Niandi wutuzabikisa matsueki ma luzolo luandi boso bubela lukanu luandi lumboti lukakitezila mu niandi.
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in himself;
10 Mu diambu di dedikisa luawu zithangu bu ziela fuana: kutikisa va kimosi bima bioso mu Klisto biobi bidi ku diyilu ayi biobi bidi va ntoto
at the dispensation of the fulness of the appointed times to gather together under one head all things in Christ, whether they be things in heaven or things in earth, in him:
11 Mu diambu diandi beto tutambudi kuku kieto ki phulusu boso buididi lukanu lu mutu wowo wumvanganga bima bioso mu luzolo luandi veka.
in whom also we have obtained our inheritance, predestinated according to the purpose of him who effectually worketh all things according to the counsel of his own will:
12 Mu diambu tusanisina nkembo andi, beto tuba batheti mu tula diana dieto mu Klisto.
that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first had hope in Christ.
13 Mu niandi beno mamveno, bu lumana wa mambu ma kiedika, Nsamu wumboti wu phulusu eno, mu niandi luwilukila ayi lutudulu dimbu, pheve yinlongo yoyo yivanunu tsila.
In whom ye also trusted after ye had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the holy Spirit of promise,
14 Pheve yinlongo yidi dimbu mu kutumonisa ti tuela tambula kiuka kieto mu diambu di khudulu yi batu bobo Nzambi, kakibakila mu diambu di sanisina nkembo andi.
which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the final redemption, acquired by him, come, to the praise of his glory.
15 Diawu tona mamvama bu ndiwilu buididi minu kieno mu Pfumu Yesu ayi luzolo luidi yeno mu banlongo boso;
For this cause I also, since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love ye have to all saints,
16 ndivonganga ko mu kuluvutudilanga matondo kuidi Nzambi. Ndieti kulutebukilanga moyo mu zitsambulu ziama;
have not ceased offering up my praises for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17 mu diambu Nzambi yi Pfumuꞌeto Yesu Klisto, dise di nkembo kaluvana pheve yi nzayulu ayi yi tsongolo muingi lunzaba bumboti,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him;
18 muingi kakienzula diela dieno ayi lusudika boso buididi diana diodi Nzambi kalutedila ayi boso buididi kimvuama ki nkembo wu kiuka kiandi va khatitsika banlongo;
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,
19 ayi boso buididi bunneni bu lulendo lolo luidi mu beto tuwilukila; boso buididi lulendo lu zingolo ziandi.
and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength
20 Wumonisa lulendo beni bu kafulukisa Klisto mu bafua ayi bu kamvuandisa va koko kuandi ku lubakala, mu Diyilu;
which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions,
21 va yilu luyalu loso, kikulutu kioso, lulendo loso, kipfumu kioso ayi va yilu dizina dioso dizabikini; bika sia ti mu tsungi yayi kaka vayi nate mu tsungi yela kuiza. (aiōn g165)
far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; (aiōn g165)
22 Wutula bima bioso ku tsi bitambi biandi ayi wumbieka Pfumuyi bima bioso mu Dibundu.
and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church,
23 Dibundu diawu nitu andi, fuluka ku mutu wowo wumfulusanga bima bioso mu bibuangu bioso.
which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
