Abefeso 1

Pawulo wagizwe intumwa ya Kristo Yesu nk'uko Imana yabishatse, ndabandikiye mwebwe abera bari muri Efeso bizera Kristo Yesu,

ubuntu bube muri mwe n'amahoro biva ku Mana Data wa twese no ku Mwami Yesu Kristo.

Imana y'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, ari yo na Se ishimwe, kuko yaduhereye muri Kristo imigisha yose y'umwuka yo mu ijuru,

nk'uko yadutoranirije muri we isi itararemwa, kugira ngo tube abera tutariho umugayo imbere yayo.

Kuko yagambiriye kera ku bw'urukundo rwayo ko duhinduka abana bayo, tubiheshejwe na Yesu Kristo ku bw'ineza y'ubushake bwayo,

kugira ngo ubuntu bwayo butagira akagero bushimwe, ubwo yaduhereye mu Mukunzi wayo.

Ni we waduhesheje gucungurwa ku bw'amaraso ye, ari ko kubabarirwa ibicumuro byacu nk'uko ubutunzi bw'ubuntu bwayo buri,

ubwo yadushagirijeho bukatubera ubwenge bwose no kumenya,

itumenyesheje ubwiru bw'ibyo ishaka ku bw'ineza y'ubushake bwayo, ari byo yagambiriye kera

kugira ngo ibihe nibisohora ibone uko iteraniriza ibintu byose muri Kristo, ari ibiri mu ijuru cyangwa ibiri mu isi.

Ku bw'uwo natwe twarazwe umurage tubitoranirijwe kera nk'uko Imana yabigambiriye, ikora byose nk'uko ibishaka mu mutima wayo

ngo tube abo gushimisha ubwiza bwayo, twebwe abiringiye Kristo uhereye kera.

Ni we namwe mwiringiye mumaze kumva ijambo ry'ukuri, ari ryo butumwa bwiza bw'agakiza kanyu, kandi mumaze kwizera ni we wabashyizeho ikimenyetso, ari cyo Mwuka Wera mwasezeranijwe,

uwo twahawe ho ingwate yo kuzaragwa wa murage kugeza ubwo abo Imana yaronse izabacungura. Ubwiza bwayo bushimwe.

Ni cyo gituma nanjye maze kumva uburyo mwizera Umwami Yesu mugakunda abera bose,

mbashimira Imana urudaca nkabasabira uko nsenze,

kugira ngo Imana y'Umwami wacu Yesu Kristo, ari yo Data wa twese w'icyubahiro, ibahe umwuka w'ubwenge no guhishurirwa bitume muyimenya,

ngo amaso y'imitima yanyu abone uko ahweza mumenye ibyo mwiringizwa n'Iyabahamagaye, mumenye n'ubutunzi bw'ubwiza bw'ibyo azaraga abera,

mumenye n'ubwinshi bw'imbaraga zayo butagira akagero, izo iha twebwe abizeye nk'uko imbaraga z'ububasha bwayo bukomeye ziri,

izo yakoreye muri Kristo ubwo yamuzuraga mu bapfuye ikamwicaza iburyo bwayo ahantu ho mu ijuru,

imushyize hejuru y'ubutware bwose n'ubushobozi bwose, n'imbaraga zose n'ubwami bwose, n'izina ryose rivugwa uretse muri iki gihe gusa, ahubwo no mu bihe bizaza.

Kandi yamuhaye gutwara byose ibishyira munsi y'ibirenge bye, imuha Itorero ngo abe umutwe waryo usumba byose,

na ryo ribe umubiri we ushyitse kandi ushyikirwamo na byose.
