Abhaefeso 3
1 Kulwainsonga eyo anye, Paulo, ni mugaya wa Yesu Kristo kulwa ingulu yemwe Abhanyamahanga.
For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--
2 Na mwikilishe ati mwonguhye ingulu ye milimu je chigongo cha Nyamuanga inu ananile ingulu yemwe.
if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,
3 Enibhandikila okusokana na kutyo obhusululo bhwa suluhye kwanye. Chinu nicho echimali chinu chaliga chiselekele bhunu nandikile kwe chifuyi ku nyalubha eindi.
and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.
4 Ulasoma ingulu ya ganu, outula okumenya obhwengeso bhwani mu chimali chinu chiselekele ingulu ya Kristo.
By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ
5 Kwa maimbo gandi echimali chinu chitamenyekene ku bhana bha bhanu. Nawe woli bhwatehywe abhwelu kwo Mwoyo ku ntumwa bhanu bhauhye na Abhalagi.
which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit--
6 Echimali chinu chaliga chibhisile ni kutya abhanu bha Abhanyamahanga nibhanu chili amwi chi mubhili. Nibhamwi mu mulago gwa Kristo Yesu okulabhila emisango jo bhwana.
I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Na ingulu ya linu nakolelwe mugaya kwe chigongo cha Nyamuanga inu yasosibhwe kwanye okulabhila obhukosi bhwa managa gaye.
in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.
8 Nyamuanga asosishe echiyanwa chinu kwanye, tali kutyo anye nili mutoto kubhona bhanu bhauhye ingulu ya Nyamuanga. Echiyanwa chinu chibheile okubhalasisha amaanga emisango jo bhwana jinu jili no bhunibhi bhunu bhutakulolwa mu Kristo.
To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted--to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,
9 jinyiile okubhalasisha abhanu bhona ingulu ya imbisike ya magambo ga Nyamuanga. Gunu Ni msango gunu gwaliga gubhisilwe kwe myaka myamfu jinu jalabhile, na Nyamuanga unu amogele ebhinu bhyona. (aiōn g165)
and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things-- (aiōn g165)
10 Inu yaliga ilikutiya, okulabhila Ikanisa, abhatangasha na abhobhuinga mulubhaju lwa mulwile bhabhone okumenya mbala nyamfu ejobhusimuka jo bwengeso bhwa Nyamuanga.
concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.
11 Ganu gakabhonekene okulabhila obhwiganilisha bwa kajanende bhunu bhwakumiye munda ya Kristo Yesu Latabhugenyi weswe. (aiōn g165)
Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Kulwokubha mu Kristo chili no bhuyali no bhutulo bhwo kwingila kwo bhuyali ingulu ye likilisha lyeswe kumwene.
in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him.
13 Kulwejo enibhasabha mutaja kwitimata ku lwokunyansibhwa kwani ingulu yemwe. Ganu nikushyo lyemwe.
Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.
14 Kwa insonga eyo enibhuma ebhijwi ku Lata.
For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,
15 unu kumwene bhuli lwibhulo mulwile na ingulu ye chalo yabhilikiwe lisina.
from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name,
16 Enisabha ati abhone okubhabhonekesha, okulubhana no bhunibhi bhwa likusho lyae, abhakole kusimbagilila kwa managa okulabhila Omwoyo gwae, unu ali munda yemwe.
to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.
17 Enisabhwa ati Kristo alame munda ye mioyo jemwe okulabhila elikilisha.
I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,
18 Enisabha ati mubhe na litako no bhwambilo bhwe lyenda lyae. Mubhe mulyenda lyae koleleki mubhone okusombokelwa, amwi na bhanu bhekilisishe, kutyo obhugaji, nobhulela bhwe lyenda lya Kristo.
as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth--
19 Enisabhwa ati mumenye obhukulu bhwe lyenda lya Kristo, bhunu obhukila obhwiganilisha. Mkole ganu koleleki mwijushwe no bhulengelesi bhwona bhwa Nyamuanga.
yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.
20 Nawoli kumwene unu katula okukola bhuli musango, okukila ganu echisabhwa na ganu echiganilisha, okulabhila amanaga gaye ganu agakola emilimu munda yeswe,
Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts--
