Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Polo, ntoma ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda mokano ya Nzambe; Epai ya basantu mpe bandimi ya Yesu-Klisto, oyo bazali kati na Efeso:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tika ete ngolu mpe kimia epesamela bino kowuta na Nzambe, Tata na biso, mpe na Nkolo Yesu-Klisto!
3 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,
Tika ete lokumu epesamela Nzambe mpe Tata ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, oyo apesi biso kati na bisika ya Likolo, mapamboli nyonso ya Molimo kati na Klisto.
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,
Pamba te, kati na Klisto, apona biso liboso ete akela mokili, mpo ete tozala bato ya bule mpe bazanga pamela na miso na Ye. Kati na bolingo na Ye,
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
abongisa biso wuta kala mpo ete tozwa makoki ya kokoma bana na Ye na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda bolamu mpe mokano na Ye moko,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
mpo ete tosanzola nkembo ya ngolu na Ye, oyo akabeli biso kati na Molingami na Ye.
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Kati na Klisto, tozwi lisiko na nzela ya makila na Ye, mpe bolimbisi ya masumu, kolanda bomengo ya ngolu ya Nzambe
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
oyo akabolelaki biso yango na bofuluki, na kopesa biso bwanya mpe bososoli nyonso,
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
mpe na kolakisa biso mabombami ya mokano na Ye, mabombami oyo abongisa kati na Klisto kolanda bolamu na Ye,
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth, in him.
mpo na kokokisa yango na tango ya suka: kosangisa kati na Klisto bikelamu nyonso oyo ezali kati na Likolo mpe oyo ezali na mabele.
11 We were also assigned an inheritance in him, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will,
Kati na Klisto, Nzambe aponaki biso lisusu mpo ete tokitana na libula na biso, kolanda mabongisi ya Ye oyo akokisaka nyonso, kolanda makanisi ya mokano na Ye,
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
mpo ete tosanzola nkembo na Ye, biso ba-oyo tozalaki bato ya liboso mpo na kotia elikya na biso kati na Klisto.
13 In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
Bino mpe, sima na bino koyoka Liloba ya solo, Sango Malamu ya lobiko na bino, bondimelaki Klisto; mpe Nzambe apesaki bino Molimo Mosantu oyo alakaki mpe, na nzela ya Molimo yango, abetaki bino kashe
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
lokola ndanga ya libula na biso kino basikolami na Ye bakangolama mpo na kosanzola nkembo na Ye.
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you and the love which you have toward all the saints,
Yango wana, wuta tango nayokaki sango ya kondima na bino kati na Nkolo Yesu mpe bolingo na bino mpo na basantu nyonso,
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
nazongisaka tango nyonso matondi epai ya Nzambe mpo na bino, nakanisaka bino na mabondeli na ngai
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,
mpe nasengaka ete Nzambe ya Yesu-Klisto, Nkolo na biso, Tata ya nkembo, apesa bino Molimo ya bwanya mpe ya emoniseli mpo ete bokoka koyeba Ye malamu.
18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Nasambelaka ete angengisa miso ya mitema na bino mpo ete bokoka kososola elikya oyo ezali kati na kobengama na bino, bomengo ya nkembo ya libula na Ye, oyo akopesa bino elongo na basantu,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
mpe monene makasi ya nguya na Ye mpo na biso oyo tozali na kondima. Abimisaki nguya yango na makasi na yango nyonso
20 which he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
mpe asalelaki yango kati na Klisto tango asekwisaki Ye kati na bakufi mpe avandisaki Ye na ngambo ya loboko na Ye ya mobali kati na Likolo,
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age (aiōn g165), but also in that which is to come.
na likolo ya milimo nyonso, ya bokonzi nyonso, ya nguya nyonso, ya bokasi nyonso, mpe ya kombo nyonso oyo bato bakoki kotanga, na tango oyo kaka te kasi mpe na tango oyo ekoya. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
Nzambe atia nyonso na se ya matambe ya Yesu mpe apona Yesu mpo ete akonza nyonso lokola Mokonzi ya Lingomba
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
oyo ezali nzoto na Ye. Nzambe oyo atondisaka nyonso kati na bato nyonso amimonisaka kati na Yesu, na mobimba ya bonzambe na Ye.
