Ephesians 3
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Pòl ki nan prizon poutèt Kris la pou byen nou, nou menm ki pa jwif, m'ap lapriyè pou nou devan Bondye.
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
Mwen kwè nou konnen deja ki jan Bondye, nan bon kè l', te ban m' travay sa a pou m' te fè pou nou.
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
Bondye devwale m' sekrè travay li a, pou m' te ka konnen plan li te gen sere nan kè li. Se sou plan sa a mwen deja ekri nou kèk mo pi wo a.
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
Lè n'a li yo, n'a kapab gen yon lide ki jan mwen konprann sekrè Kris la.
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
Nan tan lontan Bondye pa t' devwale plan travay sa a bay ankenn moun sou latè, men koulye a, ak pouvwa Sentespri a, li devwale l' bay moun li mete apa pou sèvi l' apòt ak pwofèt.
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
Men sekrè a: Nan Jezikri, ak pouvwa bon nouvèl la, moun ki pa jwif yo gen pou resevwa ansanm ak jwif yo pòsyon pa yo nan byen Bondye a. Yo se manm yon menm kò ansanm ak jwif yo, y'ap jwenn pa yo ansanm ak yo tou nan menm pwomès Bondye te fè a.
7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
Kifè m'ap sèvi bon nouvèl sa a, se paske Bondye nan bon kè l' fè m' yon favè, li fè pouvwa li travay nan mwen.
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
Mwen pi pitit pase moun ki pi pitit nan tout pèp Bondye a. Men atousa, se mwen menm Bondye bay privilèj sa a, pou m' fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen bon nouvèl richès Kris la, richès moun p'ap janm fin konprann.
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages (aiōn g165) has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
Li ban m' privilèj sa a pou m' fè tout moun wè aklè ki jan plan travay Bondye te sere nan kè li a ap reyalize, paske Bondye ki kreye tout bagay te kenbe plan sa a nan kè l' depi lontan. (aiōn g165)
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
Men koulye a, avèk legliz la, tout chèf ak tout otorite ki nan syèl la pral rive konnen bon konprann Bondye a sou tout fòm li yo.
Bondye aji konsa dapre plan ki te la depi lontan an. Se plan sa a li reyalize nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an. (aiōn g165)
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
Ak lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la, gremesi konfyans nou gen nan li a, nou lib pou nou pwoche devan Bondye san kè sote.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
Se sak fè, mwen mande nou pou nou pa dekouraje poutèt soufrans m'ap sibi pou nou yo, paske se yon bèl avantaj sa ye pou nou.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Wi, se poutèt sa, mwen tonbe ajenou devan Papa a,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
ki bay tout fanmi ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a non yo.
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
M'ap mande Bondye pou li ban nou, dapre richès pouvwa li a, fòs ak kouraj nan kè nou, pa mwayen pouvwa Sentespri a, pou nou ka grandi nan karaktè nou,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
pou Kris la rete nan kè nou ak konfyans nou gen nan li a. M'ap mande Bondye pou nou pouse rasin, pou nou chita byen fèm nan renmen,
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
pou nou ka konprann, ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a, jan renmen Kris la laj, jan li long, jan li fon, jan li wo.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Wi, mwen mande pou nou rive konnen kalite renmen Kris la gen pou nou, atout pesonn p'ap janm ka rive konnen l' nèt. Konsa, n'a vin plen nèt ak tou sa ki nan Bondye.
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Tout lwanj lan se pou Bondye. Paske, ak pouvwa k'ap travay nan nou an, li kapab fè pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mande, pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mete nan lide nou.
