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:
Pawulu, mutumwa wa Kkilisito Jesu kwindila mukuyanda kwa Leza, muli Kkilisito Jesu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Luzyalo kuli ndinywe a lumuuno luzwa kuli Leza Taata wesu, a Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
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,
Eelyo Leza a Taata wa Mwami Jesu Kkilisito ngatembawulwe, oyo wakatulongezya azyoonse zilongezyo zyamuuya mumasena aakujulu muli Kkilisito.
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,
Leza wakatusala mulinguwe kuzwa kumatalikilo enyika kuti tukabe basalali akubula chibi kumenso akwe muluyando.
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
Muluyando Leza wakatukanzila yejunza swe kuti atubweze mbuli bana kwinda muli Jesu Kkilisito kwindila mukulibonia mukulibotezya kwakuyanda kwakwe.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
Kubwezwa kwesu kweta kutambawula kuluzyalo lulabulemu oolo we ndwakatupa swe kakutakwe muulo muuli umwi ngwakayanda.
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Muli Jesu Kkilisito tulalununuko kwinda mugaze lyakwe akulekelelwa kwazibizyesu, kwindila mubuvubi bwaluzyalo lwakwe.
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Wakavuzya luzyalo oolu kulindiswe a boonse busongo akumvwisisiya.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
Leza wakazichita kuti zizibwe kulindiswe zisisikene zyakuyanda kwakwe, kwindila kulizezyo zyakamubotezya, azyakatondezya muli Kkilisito,
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.
nkali a maboneno kukubambila kuzulila kwachindi, kukweta zintu zyoonse antoomwe, zyoonse zintu zilikujulu azilaansi, munsi amutwe womwe, nkokuti Kkilisito.
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,
Muli Kkilisito twakasalwa achisalo, wakatuyanda mukwindila mumabambe akwe ooyo ubeleka kuzwa kulizyoonse kwindila kumakanze akuyanda kwakwe
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
Leza wakatusala swe mbuli basilukono kuchitila kuti swe, tobatanzi kubulangizi muliKkilisito, tukabe bakutembawula bulemu bwakwe.
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,
Muli Kkilisito, inywe kabiyo, eelyo nimwakamvwa ijwi lyakasimpe, makani mabotu alufutuko lwenu, mwakasyoma mulinguwe mpawo mwakasinizigwa a chisyomezyo chamuuya Uusalala,
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
ooyo mwakabikwa kulukkono lwesu kuyosika kulununuko lwanzitulaazyo, kukutembawula bulemu bwakwe.
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,
Kuleechi chilengwa, kuzwa nkesinaamvwa aatala alusyomo lwanu mu Mwami Jesu aluyando lwenu kuli boonse bantu ba Leza basalala,
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
tendakaleka kulumba Leza nkambo kenu mbuuli mbindamwaamba munkoombyo zyangu.
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,
Ndakomba kuti Leza waMwami wesu Jesu Kkilisito, Taata wabulemu, uyopa kulindinywe muuya wabusongo aziyubunuzyo muluzibo lwakwe.
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,
Ndakkomba kuti meso amyoyo yanu amunikilwe, kuti mukazibe bulangizi kuli zezyo nzyakamwitila bantu ba Leza basalala.
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
Munkombyo zyangu ndikumbila kuti muzibe mbuzibede inguzu zyakwe mpati loko zyiinda nzyajisi kulindiswe nitusyoma, kwindila mukubeleka kwanguzu zyabulemu bwakwe.
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,
Eezi nzenzizyo nguzu ezyo Leza nzyakabelesya muli Kkilisito eelyo nakamubusya kuzwa kubafu akumukkazika kujanza lyalulyo lwakwe mumasena akujulu.
21 far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
Wakakkazika Kkilisito kule atala lyayoonse milawu abwendelezi anguzu abasinguzu, alyoonse zina eelyo lyuzikidwe Kkilisito uyoyendelezya kutensi mulicheechi chibela luzutu, pesi amuchibeela chiza. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
Leza wakabikka zyoonse zintu mukuzipeda kuunsi lyamawulu aKkilisitu alimwi wakamupa kumbungano mubili mutwe atala lyazyoonse zintu.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Imbungano mubili wakwe, buzule bwakwe oyo uzuzya zyoonse muli zyoonse.
