Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
Kwa ligongo li, une che Paolo, ndili jwantawe kwa ligongo lya kwatumichila Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa ligongo ngunnalichila ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
Isyene mpilikene kuti, kwa upile wao, Akunnungu ambele masengo ga kwa ligongo lyenu.
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
Akunnungu amunukulile nachimanye chindu chantemela chachisisiche, mpela inalongolele kunnembela kwa wipi.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
Ni ŵanyamwe mwasyomaga yeleyi, chinkombole kumanyilila inguti kuumanyilila ntemela wa Kilisito.
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
Kalakala ŵandu nganamanyiswa chantemela cho, nambo sambano Akunnungu ŵaunukulile achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵao ŵaswela achimanyilile chantemela cho kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
Ntemela wene ni weleu, kwa litala lya Ngani Jambone ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi akupegwa ni Akunnungu upile wao yalumo ni Ŵayahudi. Ŵandu wo ali iŵalo ya chiilu chimo, nombewo akupochela iyoyo liuto lya indu ya chilanga cha Akunnungu kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu.
7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
Natendekwe katumetume jwa Ngani Jambone kwa litala lya ntuuka wa umbone wambele Akunnungu kwa litala lya machili gao.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Uneji ndili mundu jwannandi kupunda ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu, nambo Akunnungu ambele ntuuka wa kwalalichila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi Ngani Jambone ja upile wa Kilisito wangaukukomboleka kuŵalanjikwa.
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages (aiōn g165) has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
Nasagulikwe kuti naalosye ŵandu wose chantemela cha Akunnungu yachikuti pakupanganya masengo. Akunnungu ŵaŵagumbile indu yose, ŵasisile chantemela cho kwa iŵelesi yose chitandile kalakala. (aiōn g165)
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
Nambo sambano, kwa litala lya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni ŵakutawala ni ŵaali ni machili kwinani alumanyilile lunda lwa Akunnungu mu indu yose.
Akunnungu ŵatesile yele kwa litala lya Ambuje ŵetu Kilisito Yesu mpela iŵasachile moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōn g165)
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
Kwa kulumbikana ni Che Yesu Kilisito ni kwa kwakulupilila ŵelewo tukukombola kwajaulila Akunnungu nkulimbila ni pangali lipamba.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
Nipele ngunchondelela kuti kasintenguka ntima kwa kulaga kungulaga kwa ligongo lyenu, pakuŵa ayi yose ili kwa ligongo lya ukulu wenu.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwa ligongo li ngutindiŵala kwapopela Atati,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
kutyochela kukwao ngosyo syose kwinani ni pachilambo tutupochele meena ga usyene.
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
Ngwaŵenda Akunnungu, ŵaali winji wa ukulu, anlimbisye mitima jenu kwa machili ga Mbumu jwakwe.
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ni Kilisito atame mmitima jenu kwa chikulupi. Ngumpopelela kuti nkole michiga ni kwima nkulimbila mu unonyelo wa Akunnungu,
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
kuti ŵanyamwe pamo ni ŵandu wose ŵa Akunnungu nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, yauli chitando ni uleu ni mu chikwesya ni mu kwendesya.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Isyene, nkombole kuumanyilila unonyelo wa Kilisito, waukupunda umanyilisi wose ni kwayele ngumbaswe ni ujenelo wose wa Akunnungu.
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Twakusye Akunnungu ŵakukombola kutendekanya gamakulungwa nnope kupunda itukuiŵenda ni kuiganisya, kwa litala lya machili gao gagakupanganya masengo nkati mwetu.
21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations for the age (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
Elo, twakusye Akunnungu kwa litala lya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni kwa litala lya Kilisito Yesu nsyene, katema kose ni moŵa gose pangali mbesi. Eloo. (aiōn g165)
