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 through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
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 heavenly places in Christ,
4 Tuamina tula zifundasio zi ntoto, Nzambi wutusobula mu niandi mu diambu tuba banlongo ayi batu bakambulu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi
just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and unblemished before him in love.
5 Bu didi ti niandi wutuzola, wutukubika tona thama muba bana bandi mu Yesu Klisto; boso buididi luzolo luandi.
He foreordained us for adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, 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, by which he bestowed favor upon us in the Beloved.
7 Mu niandi, beto tukudulu mu menga mandi; tutambudila nlemvo mu masumu meto boso buididi kimvuama ki nlemvoꞌandi.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses, according to the riches of God's grace,
8 Wowo Nzambi kadukula mu buwombo, mu beto, mu nzila yi nzayulu ayi diela di phila mu phila.
which he lavished upon us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
9 Niandi wutuzabikisa matsueki ma luzolo luandi boso bubela lukanu luandi lumboti lukakitezila mu niandi.
He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ
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
as a plan for the fullness of times, to bring everything together in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.
11 Mu diambu diandi beto tutambudi kuku kieto ki phulusu boso buididi lukanu lu mutu wowo wumvanganga bima bioso mu luzolo luandi veka.
In Christ we have obtained an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who accomplishes 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.
so that we who were the first to hope in Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.
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.
And when you heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Christ, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
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 guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own 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;
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
16 ndivonganga ko mu kuluvutudilanga matondo kuidi Nzambi. Ndieti kulutebukilanga moyo mu zitsambulu ziama;
I have not ceased giving thanks for you as I remember 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,
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know 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;
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are 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 is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great power.
20 Wumonisa lulendo beni bu kafulukisa Klisto mu bafua ayi bu kamvuandisa va koko kuandi ku lubakala, mu Diyilu;
He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
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 every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
22 Wutula bima bioso ku tsi bitambi biandi ayi wumbieka Pfumuyi bima bioso mu Dibundu.
God put all things in subjection under Christ's feet and appointed him as head over all things for the church,
23 Dibundu diawu nitu andi, fuluka ku mutu wowo wumfulusanga bima bioso mu bibuangu bioso.
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
