Ephesians 3
1 For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: —
NO keia mea, he paahao wau o Paulo na Kristo Iesu, no oukou no ko na aina e;
2 If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you,
No ka mea, ua lohe no oukou i ka oihana lokomaikai o ke Akua ana i haawi mai ai ia'u no oukou.
3 [How that], by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret, —even as I before wrote in brief, —
Ma ka hoikeia i hoakaka mai ai oia iau i ka mea ikea ole; ka mea a'u i palapala pokolo aku ai mamua;
4 Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ, —
A heluhelu oukou, e ike auanei oukou ilaila i kuu ike ana i ka mea ikea ole no Kristo,
5 Which, in other generations, had not been made known unto the sons of men, as it hath, now, been revealed by his holy apostles and prophets, in Spirit; —
I ka mea i hoike ole ia mai i na keiki a kanaka i na hanauna mamua, e like me ia i hoikeia mai e ka Uhane i neia manawa i kana poe lanaolelo hoano a me na kaula;
6 That they who are of the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through means of the glad-message, —
I lilo ai na lahuikanaka e i poe hoahooilina, i kino hookahi, i poe hoalawe pu i ka olelo hoopomaikai no Kristo ma ka euanelio.
7 Of which I was made a minister, according to the free-gift of the favour of God which was given unto me, according to the energy of his power:
No ia mea i hooliloia'e au i kahuna, ma ka haawina lokomaikai o ke Akua ana i haawi mai ai ia'u, ma ka ikaika o kona mana.
8 Unto me—the less than least of all saints, was given this favour, unto the nations, to announce the glad-message of the untraceable riches of the Christ,
Ua haawiia mai keia lokomaikai ia'u, i ka mea uuku iho o na haipule uuku loa a pau, e hai aku ai au i na lahuikanaka e i ka waiwai kupanaha o Kristo;
9 And to bring to light—what is the administration of the sacred secret which had been hidden away from the ages in God, who did all things create: (aiōn g165)
A e hoike aku hoi i na kanaka a pau i ke ano o ka mea pohihihi i hunaia mai ke kumu mai iloko o ke Akua, nana i hana na mea a pau ma o Iesu Kristo la: (aiōn g165)
10 In order that now, unto the principalities and the authorities in the heavenlies, might be made known, through means of the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God, —
I hoikeia aku ai ma ka ekalesia i na alii a i na mea mana o ka lani, ka nui loa o ko ke Akua akamai,
E like me kona manao kahiko loa ana i hooko ai ia Kristo Iesu ko kakou Haku: (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have our freedom of speech and introduction with assurance, through the faith of him; —
Ua loaa mai ia kakou ma ona la ka olelo wiwo ole, me ka hookipaia a me ka manaolana ma ka manaoio ia ia.
13 Wherefore I request, that there be no fainting in my tribulations in your behalf, the which is your glory; —
Nolaila, ke noi aku nei au e pauaho ole oukou i kuu pilikia ana no oukou, o ka oukou ia e pomaikai ai.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father, —
No keia mea, ke kukuli nei no au imua o ka Makua o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo,
15 From whom every fatherhood in [the] heavens and upon the earth is named, —
Nona hoi i kapaia mai ka inoa o ka ohana a pau ma ka lani, a ma ka honua,
16 In order that he may give unto you—according to his glorious riches, with power, to be strengthened, through his Spirit, in the inner man,
I haawi mai ai oia ia oukou, ma ka nui o kona mini, e hooikaika nui ia mai ke kanaka oloko e kona Uhane;
17 That the Christ may dwell, through means of your faith, in your hearts, in love, having become rooted and founded,
I noho ai o Kristo iloko o ko oukou naau ma ka manaoio; i hoopaaia oukou i ke aa a i hookumuia ma ke aloha,
18 In order that ye may be mighty enough to grasp firmly, with all the saints, —what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
I hiki ia oukou ke ike me na haipule a pau i ka laula, a me ka loa, a me ka hohonu, a me ke kiekie;
19 To get to know, also, the knowledge-surpassing, love of the Christ, —in order that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God:
I ike hoi oukou i ke aloha o Kristo, i ka mea e pakela ana i ka ike; i hoopihaia no hoi oukou i ka mea a pau a ke Akua i piha ai.
20 Now, unto him who is able to do, above all things, exceeding abundantly above the things which we ask or conceive, —according to the power which doth energise itself within us, —
A o ka mea nona ka mana e hana mai ai i na mea a pau a kakou e noi aku ai, a e manao iho ai, a nui loa aku hoi, ma ka mana e hooikaika ana iloko o kakou,
