Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...
Me Paulo, mo amanamanmufoɔ enti, Kristo Yesu de me yɛɛ deduani.
2 Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,
Nokorɛm, moate Onyankopɔn adom a ɔnam me so de ma mo no ho asɛm,
3 that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.
a ɛno ne ahintasɛm a wɔnam adiyie so de ama sɛdeɛ matwerɛ no tiawa dada no.
4 In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Na sɛ mokenkan yei a, ɛnneɛ mobɛte nhunumu a me wɔ wɔ Kristo ahintasɛm ho no ase,
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.
deɛ wɔannyi ankyerɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ bi mu nnipa sɛdeɛ ɛnnɛ yi Honhom no ada no adi akyerɛ Onyankopɔn asomafoɔ ne adiyifoɔ kronkron no.
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.
Saa ahintasɛm yi kyerɛ sɛ amanamanmufoɔ ne Israelfoɔ bom yɛ adedifoɔ, wɔbom yɛ onipadua baako, na wɔwɔ kyɛfa wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɔhyɛ no mu.
7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.
Onyankopɔn adom akyɛdeɛ a ɔnam ne tumi no adwumayɛ so de ama me no enti, me yɛɛ asɛmpa no ho ɔsomfoɔ.
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,
Ɛwom sɛ me ne aketewa pa ara wɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa mu, nanso Onyankopɔn yɛɛ me adom sɛ menkɔka Asɛmpa a ɛfa Kristo ahonya a emu nni hwehwɛbea no nkyerɛ amanamanmufoɔ,
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)
na memma nnipa nyinaa nhunu saa ahintasɛm yi dwumadie a wɔde asie wɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ adeɛ nyinaa mu wɔ mfeɛ bebree a atwam no mu. (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,
Nʼatirimpɔ ne sɛ afei ɔnam asɔre no so bɛda ne nyansa a emu dɔ no adi akyerɛ ewiem mpaninnie ne atumfoɔ,
sɛdeɛ ɔnam yɛn Awurade Kristo Yesu so wiee ne botaeɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no. (aiōn g165)
12 In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.
Afei Kristo ma yɛn akokoɔduru ne ahotosoɔ a ɛma yɛnya gyidie ba Onyankopɔn anim.
13 So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.
Mesrɛ mo, mommma mo aba mu mmu wɔ amane a mehunu ma mo no ho. Ɛyɛ mo animuonyamhyɛ.
14 ... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Yei enti, mebu nkotodwe wɔ Agya no anim,
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
ɔno na ne din da nʼabusua a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase nyinaa so.
16 I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔmfiri nʼanimuonyam ahonya no mu mfa ne Honhom a ɛte mo mu no so nhyɛ mo den,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Kristo bɛfa mo gyidie so abɛtena mo akoma mu. Sɛ moagye nhini na moatim wɔ ɔdɔ mu no, mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ
18 will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth
mo ne ahotefoɔ nyinaa bɛnya tumi, na moate Kristo dɔ no trɛ, ne tentene, ne korɔn ne emu dɔ no ase,
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.
na moahunu saa ɔdɔ a ɛtra adwene nyinaa so no, na Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo ma.
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,
Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn a ne tumi yɛ adwuma wɔ yɛn mu. Ɔnam saa tumi yi so yɛ deɛ yɛbisa anaa deɛ yɛsusu ma ɛboro so.
