Efisa 3
1 Hote kong dawk, kai Pawl teh nangmouh Jentelnaw hane dawkvah Khrih Jisuh e thongkabawt lah ka o.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles, —
2 Nangmouh ni na thai tangcoung e patetlah kai koe na poe e Cathut lungmanae teh nangmouh hane dawk doeh kai ni ka khang.
if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;
3 A lungmanae kai koe panuesaknae lahoi lathueng lah youn touh ka thut tangcoung e patetlah, Cathut ni a pâphonae lahoi yah, hrolawk hah na panue sak.
how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Hote ca na touk awh pawiteh Khrih e hrolawk ka panue e hah na panue awh han.
whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Hote hrolawk hah tami kathoungnaw, gunceinaw hoi profetnaw koe atu e se nah Muitha lahoi a pâpho e patetlah alouke senaw dawk taminaw koe pâpho hoeh.
which in other generations was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6 Hote hrolawk teh Jentelnaw ni kamthang kahawi lahoi Isarelnaw hoi cungtalah râw a coe awh teh tak buet touh lah a onae lahoi Khrih Jisuh lahoi lawkkamnae hah cungtalah a hmawng van awh.
[to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
7 Hnosakthainae lahoi poehno a lungmanae hah kai koe na poe toe. Kai teh hote kamthang kahawi ka pâpho e san lah ka o.
whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Pâphue teh ka baw thai hoeh e Khrih e kuepnae kamthang kahawi hah Jentelnaw koe dei pouh hanelah,
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 hnocawngca pueng hah Khrih lahoi yah, ka sak e Cathut dawkvah ayan e se pueng dawk hro lah kaawm e hote hrolawk hah tami pueng koe pâpho pouh hanelah kai teh tami kathoungnaw thung dawk, kathoungpounge naw hlak hai hoe kathounge lah ka o. (aiōn g165)
and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which from all ages hath been hid in God who created all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimae Bawipa Khrih Jisuh dawk a yungyoe pouknae a tawn e patetlah,
to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 kalvanlae bahunaw hoi hnosakthainae dawkvah, Cathut e kângairu a lungangnae hah Kawhmoun lahoi atuvah panue awh nahane doeh. (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 Maimouh ni hote Bawipa yuemnae lahoi lungtang awh teh, Cathut koe kâhnai thainae tawn awh toe.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Hatdawkvah, nangmae bawilennae hanlah ka khang e reithainae hah na hmu awh navah na lungpout awh hanh.
Wherefore I ask that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.
14 Hete kongnaw dawkvah, khok ka cuengkhuem laihoi,
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
15 kalvan hoi talai kaawm e imthungkhu abuemlae a kungpui lah kaawm e, maimae Bawipa Jisuh Khrih e Pa hmalah ouk ka ratoum.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Ouk ka ratoum e teh, Muitha lahoi yah, nangmae thung lae tami thao thasainae hoi a cak vaiteh,
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;
17 yuemnae lahoi Khrih ni nangmae lungthin thungvah ao nahan, lungpatawnae dawk patue e, tangpha a payang teh,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 tami kathoungnaw patetlah hnosakthainae na tawn awh teh, Khrih e lungpatawnae adung, asaw, arasang, akaw e hah kapek teh na panue thai awh nahan,
may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 maimae panuenae lahoi panue thai hoeh e Jisuh Khrih e a lungpatawnae hah panue thai awh nahanlah Cathut e kuepnae hoi kawi awh nahan ouk ka ratoum.
and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.
20 Maimouh dawk kamnuek e a bawilennae patetlah maimouh ni pouk teh hei e hlak acawilah ka sak thai e Cathut ni,
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
