Ephesians 3
1 FOR this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Zategavoljo jaz, Pavel, jetnik Kristusa Jezusa za vas pogane
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Ako ste torej čuli naredbo milosti Božje, dane mi za vas,
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Da je po razodetji naznanil mi skrivnost (kakor sem prej pisal o kratkem,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Iz česar morete beróč spoznati razumljenje moje v skrivnosti Kristusovi, )
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Katera se v druzih rodovih ni naznanila sinom človeškim, kakor se je zdaj razodela svetim aposteljnom njegovim in prerokom v Duhu;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Da so pogani sodedniki in sotelesniki in sodeležniki obljube njegove v Kristusu po evangelji,
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Katerega služabnik sem postal po daru milosti Božje, podeljene mi po kreposti moči njegove;
8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Meni najmanjšemu izmed vseh svetih dana je milost tá, oznanjati med pogani neizsledno bogastvo Kristusovo,
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
In razsvetliti vse, katero je deleštvo skrivnosti od vekomaj skrite v Bogu, kateri je vse vstvaril po Jezusu Kristusu, (aiōn g165)
10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Da se naznani zdaj poglavarstvom in oblastim v nebesih po občini mnogotera modrost Božja,
Po sklepu od vekomaj, katerega je storil v Kristusu Jezusu, Gospodu našem, (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
V katerem imamo svobodnost in pristop v zaupanji po veri njegovi.
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Zato prosim, da ne opešajte v stiskah mojih za vas, kar je slava vaša.
14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Zategadelj pripogibljem kolena svoja pred očetom Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Po katerem se imenuje sleherna rodovina v nebesih in na zemlji,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Da vam dá po bogastvu slave svoje, okrepčati se v moči po Duhu svojem v notranjega človeka,
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Da se Kristus po veri vseli v srca vaša, ki ste ukoreninjeni in utrjeni v ljubezni,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Da zmorete doumeti z vsemi svetimi, kaj je širjava in dolžava, in globočina in visočina,
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
In spoznate spoznanje presezajočo ljubezen Kristusovo, da se napolnite do vse polnosti Božje.
20 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,
Njemu pa, ki more nad vse storiti preobilo več nego prosimo ali mislimo, po moči, ki deluje v nas,
