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:
Pauro, muapositori waJesu Kristu nechido chaMwari, kuvatsvene vari muEfeso, nekune vakatendeka muna Kristu Jesu:
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Nyasha kwamuri nerugare rwunobva kuna Mwari Baba vedu uye Ishe Jesu Kristu.
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,
Ngaarumbidzwe Mwari uye Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, wakatiropafadza neropafadzo yese yemweya pazvinhu zvekudenga muna Kristu;
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,
sezvaakatisarudza maari pasati pava nekuvambwa kwenyika, kuti tive vatsvene, uye vasingamhuriki pamberi pake murudo,
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
agara atitemera mukuitwa vana kwaari kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, sekuda kwakanaka kwechido chake,
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
kuve rumbidzo yekubwinya yenyasha dzake, madziri wakatiropafadza muMudikanwi;
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
watine dzikunuro maari neropa rake, iyo kanganwiro yekudarika, zvichienderana nefuma yenyasha dzake,
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
dzaakawanza kwatiri mukuchenjera kwese neungwaru,
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
azivisa kwatiri chakavanzika chechido chake, sekushuva kwakanaka kwake kwaakaronga pachake;
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.
kuti pakubata kwekuzara kwenguva, aunganidze pamwe zvinhu zvese muna Kristu, zvese zviri kumatenga nezviri panyika;
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,
imo maari, muna iye matakawanawo nhaka, yatakagara tatemerwa zvichienderana nechiga chaiye anoita zvinhu zvese zvichienderana nezano rechido chake,
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
kuti tive rumbidzo yekubwinya kwake, isu takatanga kuvimba kuna Kristu;
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,
nemwi muna iye, manzwa shoko rechokwadi, evhangeri yeruponeso rwenyu; kuna iyewo matenda kwaari makapiwa mucherechedzo neMweya Mutsvene wechivimbiso,
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
ari rubatso rwenhaka yedu, rwuve rudzikunuro rwezvakawanikwa, kurumbidzo yekubwinya kwake.
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,
Naizvozvo iniwo ndakati ndanzwa zverutendo rwenyu muna Ishe Jesu nerudo kuvatsvene vese,
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
handiregi kukuvongerai, ndichikurangarirai paminyengetero yangu;
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,
kuti Mwari waIshe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vekubwinya, akupei mweya wekuchenjera newechakazarurwa paruzivo pamusoro pake;
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,
meso efungwa dzenyu avhenekerwa kuti muzive kuti tariro yekudana kwake chii, uye fuma yekubwinya kwenhaka yake pavatsvene chii,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
uye kuti ukuru hwakapfuvurisa hwesimba rake kwatiri isu tinotenda chii, maererano nekubata kweusamasimba hwesimba rake,
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,
raakashandisa muna Kristu, achimumutsa kubva kuvakafa, nokumugarisa kuruoko rwake rwerudyi panzvimbo dzekudenga,
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)
kumusoro-soro kweutongi hwese, nesimba, neukuru, neushe, nezita rega-rega rinodanwa, kwete kwenguva ino chete, asi kune inouyawo; (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
akaisawo zvese pasi petsoka dzake, akamupa kuva musoro pamusoro pezvese kukereke,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
ndiwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye anozadzisa zvese mune zvese.
