Ephesians 3
1 For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you the nations: —
Nítorí èyí náà ni èmi Paulu ṣe di òǹdè Jesu Kristi nítorí ẹ̀yin aláìkọlà.
2 If at least ye have heard of the administration of the favour of God which hath been given unto me for you,
Lóòtítọ́ ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ ti gbọ́ ti iṣẹ́ ìríjú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, tí a fi fún mi fún yín;
3 [How that], by way of revelation, was made known unto me the sacred secret, —even as I before wrote in brief, —
bí ó ti ṣe pé nípa ìfihàn ni ó ti fi ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ hàn fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti kọ ṣáájú ni ṣókí.
4 Respecting which ye can, by reading, perceive my discernment in the sacred secret of the Christ, —
Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá kà á, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin o fi lè mọ òye mi nínú ìjìnlẹ̀ Kristi.
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; —
Èyí tí a kò í tí ì fihàn àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn rí nínú ìran mìíràn gbogbo, bí a ti fi wọ́n hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn aposteli rẹ̀ mímọ́ àti àwọn wòlíì nípa Ẹ̀mí;
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, —
pé, àwọn aláìkọlà jẹ́ àjùmọ̀jogún àti ẹ̀yà ara kan náà, àti alábápín ìlérí nínú Kristi Jesu nípa ìyìnrere.
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:
Ìránṣẹ́ èyí tí a fi mi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí a fi fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀.
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,
Fún èmi tí o kéré jùlọ nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ní a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ yìí fún, láti wàásù àwámárídìí ọ̀rọ̀ Kristi fún àwọn aláìkọlà;
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)
àti láti mú kí gbogbo ènìyàn rí ohun tí iṣẹ́ ìríjú ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ náà jásí, èyí tí a ti fi pamọ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́ nínú Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó dá ohun gbogbo nípa Jesu Kristi. (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, —
Kí a bá à lè fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ onírúurú ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn ìjòyè àti àwọn alágbára nínú àwọn ọ̀run, nípasẹ̀ ìjọ,
gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu ayérayé tí ó ti pinnu nínú Kristi Jesu Olúwa wa. (aiōn g165)
12 In whom we have our freedom of speech and introduction with assurance, through the faith of him; —
Nínú ẹni tí àwa ní ìgboyà, àti ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nípa ìgbàgbọ́ wa nínú rẹ̀.
13 Wherefore I request, that there be no fainting in my tribulations in your behalf, the which is your glory; —
Nítorí náà, mo bẹ̀ yín kí àárẹ̀ má ṣe mú yín ni gbogbo wàhálà mi nítorí yín, èyí tí ṣe ògo yín.
14 For this cause, I bow my knees unto the Father, —
Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń fi eékún mi kúnlẹ̀ fún Baba Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
15 From whom every fatherhood in [the] heavens and upon the earth is named, —
Orúkọ ẹni tí a fi ń pe gbogbo ìdílé tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
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,
Kí òun kí ó lè fi agbára rẹ̀ fún ẹni inú yín ní okun, nípasẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
17 That the Christ may dwell, through means of your faith, in your hearts, in love, having become rooted and founded,
Kí Kristi lè máa gbé inú ọkàn yín nípa ìgbàgbọ́; pé bí ẹ ti ń fi gbòǹgbò múlẹ̀ tí ẹ sì ń fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́;
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,
kí ẹ̀yin lè ní agbára láti mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ohun tí ìbú, àti gígùn, àti jíjìn, àti gíga ìfẹ́ Kristi jẹ́.
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:
Àti láti mọ̀ ìfẹ́ Kristi yìí tí ó ta ìmọ̀ yọ, kí a lè fi gbogbo ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ Ọlọ́run kún yín.
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, —
Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí o lè ṣe lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ju gbogbo èyí tí a ń béèrè tàbí tí a ń rò lọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú wa.
