Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Paulo, unu ndi ntumwa ya Yesu Kristo kwe lyenda lya Nyamuanga, kubhanu bhauhye ku lwa Nyamuanga bhanu bhali Efeso na bhanu bhali bhalengelesi mu Kristo Yesu.
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Echigongo chibhe kwimwe no mulembe gunu ogusoka ku Nyamuanga Lata weswe na Ratabhugenyi Yesu Kristo.
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
Nyamuanga na Rata wa Ratabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo ayanibhwe likusyo. Niwe omwene achiyanile amabhando go mwoyo, mulubhaju lwa mulwile munda ya Kristo.
4 according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
Chichali kumogwa echalo, Nyamuanga achisolele bhanu eswe chikilisishe Kristo. Achisolele eswe koleleki chibhe bhalengelesi bhanu chitali ne solo imbele yae.
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Mukwenda kwa Nyamuanga achisolele kubhwambilo kwo kuchigega kuti bhana bhae ku njila ya Kristo. Akolele kutyo kwainsonga akondelewe okukola chinu endaga.
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did make us accepted in the beloved,
Echisokanati Nyamuanga kakuibhwa ku chigongo cha likushyo lyae. Chinu nicho achiyanile bhusa ku njila yo mwendwa wae.
7 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Kulwokubha ku mwendwa wae, chili no kuchungulwa ku lwa insagama yae, okwiswalililwa ebhibhibhi. Chinalyo linu kulwainsonga yo bhunibhi bhwe chigongo chae.
8 in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
Akolelele echigongo chinu chibhe chamfu kulwa ingulu yeswe kulwobhwengeso no kusombokelwa.
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
Nyamuanga akolele imenyekane kwiswe echimali chinu chaliga chiselekele ombwisombolo, okusokana no bhukalaliye bhunu bhwabhonekene munda ya Kristo.
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth — in him;
Omwanya gunu akatungu keile ko bhisombolo bhwae, Nyamuanga kabhita amwi bhuli chinu cha mulwile ne cha ingulu ye chalo munda ya Kristo.
11 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all things is working according to the counsel of His will,
Okulabhila ku Kristo chaliga chisolelwe omwanya guchali. Jinu jasokene kuunu kakola ebhinu bhyona kwe lyenda lyae.
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who did first hope in the Christ,
Nyamuanga akolele kutyo koleleki chibheo kwa likusho lyae. Chabhee bha kwamba okubha nobhuigi munda ya Kristo.
13 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth — the good news of your salvation — in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
Jabhee ku njila ya Kristo ati mwonguhye ligambo lye chimali, emisango jo bhwana jo kuchungulwa kwemwe ku njila ya Kristo. Jaliga jili kumwene ona ati mwekilisishe no kutulwako olunyamo no Mwoyo Mwelu unu aliga alagilwe.
14 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Omwoyo nigwo gulio okukinga okulya omwandu anu gulibhonekanila. Inu yaliga ili okwikuya kwa likusho lyae.
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,
Ku lwa insonga inu, okwambila omwanya gunu nonguhye ingulu ye likilisha lyemwe munda ya Latabhugenyi Yesu na ingulu ye lyenda lyemwe kubhanu bhona bhauhye ingulu yae.
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
Nchali kusiga okumusima Nyamuanga ingulu yemwe no kubhaika mwi sabha lyani.
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of him,
Enisabha ati Nyamuanga wa Latabhugenyi weswe Yesu Kristo, lata walikusho, kabhayana omwoyo gwo bhwengeso, obhusululilo bhwo bhwenge bwae.
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Enisabha ati ameso gemwe agamumwoyo gabhone obhwelu kwimwe okumenya niki obhuyali bhwo kubhilikilwa kwemwe. Enisabha ati mumenye obhunibhi bhwa likusho lyo mwandu gwae agati ya bhanu bhauhye ingulu yae.
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
Enisabha ati mumenye obhukulu bhunu obhukila amanaga gae munda yeswe bhanu chikilisishe. Obhukulu bhunu obhusokana no kukola emilimu kwa managa gae.
20 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
Ganu ni managa ganu kakolaga munda ya Kristo omwanya gunu Nyamuanga amusuluye okusoka mubhafu no kumwinyanja mukubhoko kwe bhulyo mulubhaju lwa mulwile.
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
Amwiyanjishe Kristo ingulu kula no bhutangasha, obhuinga, amanaga, likusho, na bhuli esina linu elyaikwa. Amwinyanjishe Yesu talilati kwo mwanya gunu nawe no mwanya gunu gulija ona. (aiōn g165)
22 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him — head over all things to the assembly,
Nyamuanga abhigonyishe ebhinu bhyona emwalo ya magulu ga Kristo. Amukolele omwene kubha mutwe ingulu ye bhinu bhyona mwi kanisa.
23 which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,
Likanisa ati nigwo omubhili gwae, obhukumiye bhwae unu kejusha ebhinu bhyona ku njila jona.
