Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
Nemhaka yeizvi, ini Pauro, musungwa waKristu Jesu nekuda kwenyu vahedheni,
2 (if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,
kana zvirokwazvo makanzwa nezvekushandiswa kwenyasha dzaMwari dzakapiwa kwandiri pamusoro penyu,
3 that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,
kuti sechakazarurwa wakandizivisa chakavanzika, sezvandakambonyora nemashoko mashoma;
4 by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ, )
naizvozvo kana muchirava, munogona kunzwisisa ruzivo rwangu muchakavanzika chaKristu;
5 which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,
icho pane mamwe mazera chisina kuziviswa kuvanakomana vevanhu, sezvachozarurwa ikozvino kuvaapositori vake vatsvene nevaporofita muMweya;
6 that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
kuti vahedheni vave vadyi venhaka pamwe nesu uye vemuviri umwe nevagovani vechivimbiso chake muna Kristu kubudikidza neevhangeri,
7 of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.
yandakaitwa nayo mushumiri zvichienderana nechipo chenyasha dzaMwari chakapiwa kwandiri nekubata kwesimba rake.
8 To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
Kwandiri ndiri mudiki kumudikisa wevatsvene vese, nyasha idzi dzakapiwa, kuti ndiparidze pakati pevahedheni fuma isinganzvereki yaKristu,
9 and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, (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 in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,
kuti ikozvino kuchenjera kwakasiyana-siyana kwaMwari kuziviswe nekereke paushe nepamasimba panzvimbo dzekudenga,
sechiga chekusingaperi chaakatema muna Kristu Jesu Ishe wedu; (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
maari tine kutsunga nekupinda nechivimbo, nerutendo rwake.
13 Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Naizvozvo ndinokumbira kuti murege kuora moyo pamatambudziko angu pamusoro penyu, ndiwo kurumbidzwa kwenyu.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
Nekuda kweizvozvi ndinofugama mabvi angu kuna Baba vaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
15 of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
rudzi rwese rwuri kumatenga nepanyika rwunotumidzwa mavari,
16 in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;
kuti vakupei, zvichienderana nefuma yekubwinya kwavo, musimbiswe musimba neMweya wake mumunhu wemukati,
17 that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,
kuti Kristu agare pamoyo yenyu nerutendo; mune midzi uye makateiwa nheyo murudo,
18 in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;
kuti mugone kwazvo kunzwisisa pamwe nevatsvene vese, kuti kufara, nekureba, nekukwirira, nekudzika chii,
19 and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.
nekuziva rudo rwaKristu rwunopfuura ruzivo, kuti muzadzwe mukuzara kwese kwaMwari.
20 But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
Zvino kune ane simba rekuita zvikuru kwazvo zvinopfuura zvese zvatinokumbira kana kufunga, maererano nesimba rinobata matiri,
