Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
Nemhaka yeizvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nekuda kwenyu vahedheni,
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
kana zvirokwazvo makanzwa nezvekushandiswa kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri pamusoro penyu,
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
kuti sechakazarurwa wakandizivisa chakavanzika, sezvandakambonyora nemashoko mashoma;
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
naizvozvo kana muchirava, munogona kunzwisisa ruzivo rwangu muchakavanzika chaKristu;
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,
icho pane mamwe mazera chisina kuziviswa kuvanakomana vevanhu, sezvachozarurwa ikozvino kuvaapositori vake vatsvene nevaporofita muMweya;
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,
kuti vahedheni vave vadyi venhaka pamwe nesu uye vemuviri umwe nevagovani vechivimbiso chake muna Kristu kubudikidza neevhangeri,
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.
yandakaitwa nayo mushumiri zvichienderana nechipo chenyasha dzaMwari chakapiwa kwandiri nekubata kwesimba rake.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Kwandiri ndiri mudiki kumudikisa wevatsvene vese, nyasha idzi dzakapiwa, kuti ndiparidze pakati pevahedheni fuma isinganzvereki yaKristu,
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
nekuita kuti vese vaone kuti kudyidzana kwakadini kwechakavanzika chakange chakavigwa muna Mwari kubva pakuvamba kwenyika, wakasika zvinhu zvese kubudikidza naJesu Kristu, (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,
kuti ikozvino kuchenjera kwakasiyana-siyana kwaMwari kuziviswe nekereke paushe nepamasimba panzvimbo dzekudenga,
sechiga chekusingaperi chaakatema muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu; (aiōn g165)
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
maari tine kutsunga nekupinda nechivimbo, nerutendo rwake.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
Naizvozvo ndinokumbira kuti murege kuora moyo pamatambudziko angu pamusoro penyu, ndiwo kurumbidzwa kwenyu.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nekuda kweizvozvi ndinofugama mabvi angu kuna Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
rudzi rwese rwuri kumatenga nepanyika rwunotumidzwa mavari,
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,
kuti vakupei, zvichienderana nefuma yekubwinya kwavo, musimbiswe musimba neMweya wake mumunhu wemukati,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
kuti Kristu agare pamoyo yenyu nerutendo; mune midzi uye makateiwa nheyo murudo,
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
kuti mugone kwazvo kunzwisisa pamwe nevatsvene vese, kuti kufara, nekureba, nekukwirira, nekudzika chii,
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
nekuziva rudo rwaKristu rwunopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe mukuzara kwese kwaMwari.
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,
Zvino kune ane simba rekuita zvikuru kwazvo zvinopfuura zvese zvatinokumbira kana kufunga, maererano nesimba rinobata matiri,
