Pauro, muapostora waKristu Jesu, nokuda kwaMwari, kuvatsvene vari {paEfeso}, nokuna vanotenda munaKristu Jesu:Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Nyasha ngadzive nemi, norugare runobva kunaMwari, Baba vedu, naShe Jesu Kristu.Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ngaavongwe Mwari naBaba vaShe wedu Jesu Kristu, wakatiropafadza nokuropafadza kwose kwoMweya, kudenga munaKristu,Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
sezvaakatisanangura maari nyika isati yavambwa, kuti tive vatsvene vasinemhosva pamberi pake murudo;According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
akatitemera kare, kuti naJesu Kristu tiitwe vanakomana vake, sezvaakafadzwa pakuda kwake,Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
kuti kunaka kukuru kwenyasha dzake dzaakangotipa hake muMudikanwa wake, kurumbidzwe;To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
uyo watine dzikinuro maari neropa rake, iko kukanganwirwa kwokudarika kwedu, nokuwanda kwenyasha dzake;In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
dzaakawanza kwatiri nokuchenjera kwose nokuziva;Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
akatizivisa zvakavanzika zvokuda kwake, sezvaakafadzwa pakufunga kwake maari;Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
kuti afambise kuzara kwenguva, avunganidze munaKristu zvose zviri kudenga, nezviri pasi.That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
munaiye, watakaitwa vo nhaka maari, yatakatemerwa kare nokuraira kwaiye, unoita zvose nokufunga kwokuda kwake;In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
kuti tirumbidze kubwinya kwake, isu takatarira kare kunaKristu;That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
munaiye, nemi vo, makanzwa shoko rezvokwadi maari, iyo Evhangeri yokuponeswa kwenyu; munaiye, wamakatenda kwaari, mukaisirwa chisimbiso noMweya Mutsvene wamakapikirwa;In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
uri rubatso rwenhaka yedu, kuratidza kudzikinurwa kwavanhu vaMwari chaivo, kuti kubwinya kwake kurumbidzwe.Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Saka neni vo, ndakati ndanzwa kutenda munaShe Jesu kuri pakati penyu, norudo kuvatsvene vose,Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
handiregi kuvonga pamusoro penyu, ndichikurangarirai paminyengetero yangu;Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
kuti Mwari waShe wedu Jesu Kristu, Baba vokubwinya kukuru, akupei mweya wokuchenjera nowokuzarurirwa pakumuziva;That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Mavhenekerwa meso omoyo wenyu kuti muzive kuti kudana kwake kunetariro yei, nefuma yokubwinya kwenhaka yake pakati pavatsvene.The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
novukuru bwakapfuvurisa bwesimba rake kwatiri isu tinotenda, nokubata kwesimba rake guru,And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
raakabata munaKristu, achimumutsa kuvakafa, nokumugarisa kurudyi rwake kudenga.,Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
kumusoro-soro kwavabati vose, novukuru, nesimba, novushe, namazita ose anorebwa, pasati pari panyika ino bedzi, asi paneinozovuya vo;Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
akaisa zvose pasi petsoka dzake, akapa kereke iye, kuti ave musoro wazvose,And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
ndiwo muviri wake, kuzara kwaiye unozadzisa zvose munavose.Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
