Ephisa 3
1 Te dongah kai Paul tah nangmih namtom rhoek ham Jesuh Khrih kah thongtla ka om.
For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, bow my knees in prayer.
2 Nangmih ham Pathen kah lungvatnah dongkah hnokhoemnah he kai m'paek te na yaak uh mak atah.
Surely you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you,
3 Atoi la ka daek noek vanbangla tekah olhuep tah pumphoenah neh kai taengah phoe coeng.
how God made the mystery known to me by revelation, just as I have written above in a few words.
4 Te cadaek bangla tae rhangneh Khrih kah olhuep soah kai kah yakmingnah te na yakming uh thai.
When you read what I have written, you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
5 Te tah Mueihla lamloh a caeltueih rhoek neh tonghma hlangcim taengah a pumphoe coeng bangla hlang ca rhoek taengah rhuirhong a tloe lam khaw ana phoe moenih.
which in previous generations was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
6 Olthangthen lamloh namtom khaw Khrih Jesuh dongah olkhueh te pumkhat la cut hmaih tih rho aka pang hamla om coeng.
This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of God's promise in Christ through the gospel.
7 A thaomnah kah bibi vanbangla Pathen kah lungvatnah kutdoe te kai m'paek coeng dongah te olthangthen kah tueihyoeih la ka om.
I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God's grace that was given to me by the working of his power.
8 Hlangcim rhoek boeih khuiah a yit cadih koek kai taengah he lungvatnah he m'paek coeng. Khrih kah a khuehtawn toeklek toekna mueh te namtom rhoek taengah aka thui ham ni.
This grace was given to me, the very least of all the saints, to preach among the Gentiles the good news of the boundless riches of Christ,
9 Cungkuem aka suen Pathen dongah yan lamkah a thuh olhuep kah hnokhoemnah te hlang boeih tueng ham ni. (aiōn g165)
and to bring to light for everyone the plan of the mystery that has been hidden for ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ. (aiōn g165)
10 Te daengah ni Pathen kah cueihnah a comluem te hlangboel lamloh vaan kah boeilu rhoek neh saithainah dongah a phoe eh.
The purpose of bringing this to light is that, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms,
according to the eternal purpose that God has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Amah dongah sayalhnah n'dang uh tih amah kah tangnah lamloh pangtungnah neh kunnah n'danguh.
Because of Christ and our faith in him, we have boldness and confident access to God.
13 Te dongah nangmih ham kai kah phacip phabaem dongah thathae pawt ham kan hloep. Te tah nangmih kah thangpomnah ni.
Therefore I ask you not to lose heart at my tribulations on your behalf, which will bring you glory.
14 He dongah ni a pa taengah ka khuklu ka cungkueng.
For this reason I bow my knees in prayer before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Amah lamloh vaan neh diklai hman kah nurhui parhui boeih a khue.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
16 Te daengah ni amah kah mueihla lamloh hlang ko khuiah rhaang sak ham a thaomnah dongkah thangpomnah khuehtawn te a tarhing la nangmih m'paek eh.
I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he would grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
17 Tangnah lamloh nangmih thinko ah Khrih loh kho a sak. Lungnah dongah m'pael tih n'sut.
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith,
18 Te daengah ni hlagcim boeih taengkah lungnah a daang neh a yun, a sang neh a dung te tuuk ham na noeng uh eh.
as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may be able to fully comprehend, together with all the saints, how wide and long and deep and high
19 Mingnah aka baetawt Khrih kah lungnah khaw ming ham om. Te daengah ni Pathen kah a soepnah te a cungkuem la na cung uh eh.
is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Amah tah a puehdaih la a saii ham boeih coeng thai hlai coeng. M'bih neh n'yakming te mamih ah thaomnah la tueng.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine, according to the power at work within us—
