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:
Nne a Pauli ntume jwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, kwa pinga kwabho a Nnungu, ngunakunnjandishilanga mmandunji bha ukonjelo nninginji ku Epesho, nkwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu Kilishitu.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngunakumpinjilanga nema na ulele gwa Atati a Nnungu na ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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,
Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu, Atati bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu! Pabha nkulundana na a Kilishitu, bhashikutupa mboka ya kila namuna ya muntima ikopoka kunnungu.
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,
Malinga shibhatuagwile tubandu bha ukonjelo kwa lundana kwetu na a Kilshitu, shilambolyo shikanabhe panganywa, nkupinga tubhe tubhaukonjelo, na tunakole sha gambwa pa meyo gabho kwa nonyelwa na pinga kwabho bhayene.
5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
A Nnungu bhashinkutandubha kutuagula, nkupinga tubhe ashibhana bhabho kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shibhapinjile na kuengwa kwabho bhayene.
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved.
Bhai twainiye a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya ukonjelo gwa nema jabho, jibhatupele kupitila kuka mwanagwabho jubhampinjile!
7 In him we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
Pabha kupitila shiwo sha a Kilishitu uwe tushigombolwa, yani yambi yetu ishileshelelwa. Malinga shigushitebha ukulungwa gwa nema jabho.
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Bhashinkutushulushiya yeneyo kwa lumanyio lowe na lunda lwabho.
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
A Nnungu gubhatendile tuimanye ya nng'iyo kwa pinga kwabho, malinga shibhatumbilile bhayene kutenda, kupitila kwa a Kilishitu.
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.
Yani kubhika ukulungwa pushigamalile mobha gakwe, na kuibhika indu yowe pamo, ya kunnungu na ya pashilambolyo pa mashili ga a Kilishitu.
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,
A Nnungu bhashipinga kila shindu shibhapinjile shitendeshe, bhenebho bhashikutuagula nkulundana kwetu na a Kilishitu nkupinga tubhe tubhandu bhabho.
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ.
Bhai uwe Tubhayaudi, tulongolele kwaakulupalila a Kilishitu, tunapinjikwa kwainiya a Nnungu kwa ukonjelo gwabho!
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,
Na mmanganyanji mmandunji bha ilambo ina, mwapilikenenje ntenga gwa kweli gwa Ngani ja Mmbone, malobhe ga mmbone ga ntapulo gwenunji, gumwaakulupalilenje a Kilishitu na bhalabho a Nnungu nkupinga languya kuti mmanganyanji ni bhabho, gubhampelenje Mbumu jwa a Ukonjelo jwa miadi.
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.
Jwene Mbumujo ni ngamulo ya poshela gowe gubhalajile a Nnungu kubhandu bhabho, nkupinga kwagombolanga bhowe bhalinginji bhabho. Tuguiniye ukonjelo gwabho!
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,
Kwa nneyo ngapilikaneje ga ngulupai jenunji ku Bhakulungwa a Yeshu na kwaapinganga kwenunji bhandunji bha ukonjelo,
16 don’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
bhai, na nne ngalibhala kwaatendela eja a Nnungu kwa ligongo lyenunji, ngunakunkumbushilanga nkujuga kwangu,
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,
nkupinga a Nnungu bha Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu, Atati bha ukonjelo, bhampanganje ntima gwa lumanyio na munng'ibhulo gwa kwaamanya bhenebho.
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,
Ng'aniyo ya mmitima jenunji ibhe na shilangaya, nkumanyanje ukoto kushemwa kwenunji nkwaakulupalila bhenebho, shikushitebha na gwinji gwa ulishi gwa ukonjelo gwa bhandu bha a Nnungu,
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
numbe nngumanyanje ukulu gwa ukonjelo na mashili shigushitebha kwa ligongo lyetu tukwaakulupalila, malinga shiili itendi itendeka kwa mashili gabho,
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,
gubhatendile kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu pubhaayushiye nikwaabhika ku nkono gwabho gwa nnilo kunnungu.
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)
A Yeshu bhanatagwala numbe ni bhakulungwa kupunda bhapalme bhowe bhatagwalanga kunani na mashili gowe na mena gowe, nngabha ga pa shilambolyo pepano na nkali ku shilambolyo shikwiya. (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,
A Nnungu gubhabhishile indu yowe kwa mashili gabho, nikwaabhika bhabhe bhakulungwa bha indu yowe kwa ligongo lya bhandu bha a Nnungu.
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Likanisha ni shiilu sha a Kilishitu na lyenelyo ni kutimilila kwa a Kilishitu bhaatenda indu yowe itimilile.
