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, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, to the saints and faithful in Christ Jesus who are at Ephesus.
2 Bika Nzambi Dise dieto ayi Pfumu eto Yesu Klisto baluvana nlemvo ayi ndembama.
Grace to 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 has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;
4 Tuamina tula zifundasio zi ntoto, Nzambi wutusobula mu niandi mu diambu tuba banlongo ayi batu bakambulu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi
according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, 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 marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to 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, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:
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, the forgiveness of offences, 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.
which he has caused to abound towards us in 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
for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the 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 we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works 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 have pre-trusted in the 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 [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings 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.
who is [the] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession 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;
Wherefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which [is] in you, and the love which [ye have] towards all the saints,
16 ndivonganga ko mu kuluvutudilanga matondo kuidi Nzambi. Ndieti kulutebukilanga moyo mu zitsambulu ziama;
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you] at 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 in the full 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;
being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 ayi boso buididi bunneni bu lulendo lolo luidi mu beto tuwilukila; boso buididi lulendo lu zingolo ziandi.
and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
20 Wumonisa lulendo beni bu kafulukisa Klisto mu bafua ayi bu kamvuandisa va koko kuandi ku lubakala, mu Diyilu;
[in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,
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)
above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come; (aiōn g165)
22 Wutula bima bioso ku tsi bitambi biandi ayi wumbieka Pfumuyi bima bioso mu Dibundu.
and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
23 Dibundu diawu nitu andi, fuluka ku mutu wowo wumfulusanga bima bioso mu bibuangu bioso.
which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
