Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
Te dongah kai Paul tah nangmih namtom rhoek ham Jesuh Khrih kah thongtla ka om.
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
Nangmih ham Pathen kah lungvatnah dongkah hnokhoemnah he kai m'paek te na yaak uh mak atah.
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
A toi la ka daek noek vanbangla tekah olhuep tah pumphoenah neh kai taengah phoe coeng.
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Te cadaek bangla tae rhangneh Khrih kah olhuep soah kai kah yakmingnah te na yakming uh thai.
5 which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.
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.
6 This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.
Olthangthen lamloh namtom khaw Khrih Jesuh dongah olkhueh te pumkhat la cut hmaih tih rho aka pang hamla om coeng.
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
A thaomnah kah bibi vanbangla Pathen kah lungvatnah kutdoe te kai m'paek coeng dongah te olthangthen kah tueihyoeih la ka om.
8 Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
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.
9 and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. (aiōn g165)
Cungkuem aka suen Pathen dongah yan lamkah a thuh olhuep kah hnokhoemnah te hlang boeih tueng ham ni. (aiōn g165)
10 His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,
Te daengah ni Pathen kah cueihnah a comluem te hlangboel lamloh vaan kah boeilu rhoek neh saithainah dongah a phoe eh.
Te tah kumhal kah mangtaeng vanbangla mamih Boeipa Khrih Jesuh ah a saii coeng. (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
Amah dongah sayalhnah n'dang uh tih amah kah tangnah lamloh pangtungnah neh kunnah n'danguh.
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Te dongah nangmih ham kai kah phacip phabaem dongah thathae pawt ham kan hloep. Te tah nangmih kah thangpomnah ni.
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
He dongah ni a pa taengah ka khuklu ka cungkueng.
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
Amah lamloh vaan neh diklai hman kah nurhui parhui boeih a khue.
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
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.
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Tangnah lamloh nangmih thinko ah Khrih loh kho a sak. Lungnah dongah m'pael tih n'sut.
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
Te daengah ni hlagcim boeih taengkah lungnah a daang neh a yun, a sang neh a dung te tuuk ham na noeng uh eh.
19 of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
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.
20 Now to Him who is able to do so much more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,
Amah tah a puehdaih la a saii ham boeih coeng thai hlai coeng. M'bih neh n'yakming te mamih ah thaomnah la tueng.
