Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
Kwa sababu ya lee nenga, Paulo, ni mfungwa wa Yesu Kristo kwa ajili yinu mataifa.
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
Naaminiya kwamba muyowine nnani ya kazi ya neema ya Nnongo ywanipeile kwa ajili yinu.
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
Natikwaandikiya bokana na namna ya ufunuo wabile funuliwa kwango. Awoo nga ukweli wayowanika kwaa ambao natiuandika kwa mwipi mu'barua yenge.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
Pausomile kuhusu aga, waweza kuitanga busara yango mu'ukweli wolo wayowanika kwaa kuhusu Kristo.
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,
Kwa ibeleko yenge ukweli wolo upangwa kwaa kwa bana ba bandu. Ila kwa mbeambe ubekilwe wazi kwa Roho kwa Mitume batengwile ni manabii.
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,
Ukweli woo wauyowanike kwaa ni kuwa bandu ba mataifa ni ashiriki wenzetu ni ajumbe wenzetu wa yega. Ni bashiriki pamope ni ahadi ya Kristo Yesu petya Injili.
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.
Na kwa lee nipangilwe mmanda kwa zawadi ya neema ya Nnongo yaibekilwe kwango petya panga kwa likakala lyake.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Nnongo aiboite zawadi yee kwango, japo kuwa nenga na mundu nchunu wa bote mu'balo batengwile kwaajili ya Nnongo. Zawadi yee ni kuwa nipalikwa kuatangazia mataifa injili yabile ni utajiri uchunguzike kwaa wa Kristo.
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,
Nipalikwa kuatangazia bandu bote nnani ya namani ni mpango wa Nnongo wa siri. Awoo nga mpango wabile uyowanike kwaa kwa miaka yanyansima ipitike, ni Nnongo ywaiumbile ilebe yoti. (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,
Ayee yabile kuwa, petya likanisa, atawala na mamlaka mu'sehemu ya kumaunde bapate yowa pande zanyansima za asili ya hekima ya Nnongo.
Aga mana yapangilwe petya mpango wangeyomoka nwabile utikamilishwa nkati ya Kristo Yesu Ngwana witu. (aiōn g165)
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
Kwa mana mu'Kristo twabile ni ujasiri ni uwezo wa jingya kwa ujasiri kwa sababu ya imani yitu kwake.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
Kwa nyo nialoba kana mukate tamaa kwa sababu ya mateso gango kwaajili yinu.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Kwasababu yee nakombwa magoti kwa Tate.
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
Ywabile kwa ywembe kila familiya kumaunde ni kunani ya nnema ikemelwa lina.
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,
Nenda kualoba kwamba apate kuaneemesha, bokana na utajiri wa utukufu wake, abapange imara kwa likakala petya Roho wake, ywabile nkati yinu.
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Nenda kualoba kwamba Kristo atami nkati ya mioyo yinu petya imani.
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
Nialoba kwamba mube ni shina na msingi wa upendo wake. Mube mu'lipendo lyake ili muweze kutanga, pamope ni bote baaminio, jinsi upana, na urefu ni kimo na kina cha upendo ba Kristo.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Nenda kualoba kwamba muutange ukolo wa upendo wa Kristo, wabile uyongekeya ufahamu. Mpange aga ili mjaze ni ukamilifu wote wa Nnongo.
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,
Nambeambe kwake ywembe ywaweza kupanga kila likowe, zaidi ya goti tuyalobite au tuyawezayo, petya likakala lyake lyatipanga kazi nkati yitu.
