Ephesians 3
1 Because [God has done all this for] you non-Jews, I, Paul, [pray for you. I want you to know that it is because I serve] Christ Jesus for your sake that I am in prison.
Затова аз, Павел, затворник на Исуса Христа заради вас езичниците,
2 I (assume that/think that probably) someone has told you how God acted very kindly toward me, appointing me [so that I would proclaim the gospel to you non-Jews].
понеже сте чули за нареденото от Божията благодат, която ми е дадена заради вас,
3 God revealed to me the message that he had not revealed to others. When you read what I have already written briefly about that,
че по откровение ми стана известна тайната, (както и по-преди вкратце ви писах,
4 you will be able to understand that I understand clearly that message about Christ.
от което, като прочитате, може да разберете моето проумяване в Христовата тайна)
5 Formerly, [God] did not reveal that message to anyone, but now his Spirit has revealed that message to (his holy apostles and prophets/people who tell messages that come directly from God).
която в други поколения не биде известна на човешкия род, както сега чрез Духа се откри на Неговите свети апостоли и пророци,
6 That message, which he has now revealed, is that because of our [(inc)] relationship with Christ Jesus, [all of us], non-Jews as well as Jews [MTY], will receive the [great spiritual blessings that God has] promised as we all form one group [MET] [as a result of our believing] the good news [about Christ].
а именно, че езичниците са сънаследници, като съставляват едно тяло, и са съпричасници на [Неговото] обещание в Христа Исуса чрез благовестието,
7 By God powerfully enabling me, and because God acted kindly toward me, doing what I did not deserve, and chose me [to do that work], I became someone who tells others this good message.
на което станах служител според Божията благодат,
8 Although I am the least [worthy] of all God’s people, God kindly [appointed] me to proclaim to the non-Jews the message about the great spiritual blessings that [they can receive] from Christ,
На мене, най-нищожния от всички светии, се даде тая благодат, да благовестя между езичниците неизследимото Христово богатство;
9 and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
и да осветлявам всичките в наредбата относно тайната, която от векове е била скрита у Бога, създателя на всичко, (aiōn g165)
10 [What he planned] was that all (believers/people who belong to Christ) would be the ones who would reveal to all the ranks [DOU] of spiritual beings in heaven that what God had planned is wise in every way.
тъй щото на небесните началства и власти да стане позната сега чрез църквата многообразната премъдрост на Бога,
11 That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
според превечното намерение, което Той изработи в Христа Исуса нашия Господ; (aiōn g165)
12 Because of what he has done and because of our relationship with him, [when we pray] we can approach God confidently and without being afraid.
в Когото имаме своето дръзновение и достъп с увереност чрез вяра в Него;
13 So I ask that you do not be discouraged because of my suffering many things for you [here in prison]. You should feel honored that I am [willing to] suffer [these things for your sake].
за която причина ви моля да се не обезсърчавате от моите изпитни за вас, тъй като те са за вас слава,
14 Because [God has done all this for you], I kneel [and pray] [MTY] to [God our] Father.
затова, прекланям коленете си пред Отца [на нашия Господ Исус Христос],
15 He is the one who is [like] a father of all [the believers who are now in] heaven and those who are still on the earth.
от Когото носи името всеки род на небесата и на земята,
16 I pray that, using his unlimited resources, he will cause you to be strengthened by his Spirit {cause his Spirit to strengthen you} in your (inner beings/hearts) with all [God’s] power.
да ви даде според богатствата на славата Си, да се утвърдите здраво чрез Неговия Дух във вътрешния човек,
17 That is, I pray that because of your trusting in Christ, his [Spirit] may live in your (inner beings/hearts) (OR, he may live in your hearts). And I pray that because you love [Christ] firmly and faithfully/continually [MET], you,
чрез вяра да се всели Христос във вашите сърца, тъй че закоренени и основани в любовта
18 along with all other believers, may be able to know how very [DOU] much Christ loves [us(inc)].
да бъдете силни, да разберете заедно с всичките светии, що е широчината и дължината, височината и дълбочината,
19 I want you to experience how very deeply he loves us, even though it is not possible for us to understand fully [how much he loves us]. And I pray that God will enable you to be filled with {have a full measure of} all the [qualities of his character that] he himself has.
и да повикате Христовата любов, която никое знание не може да обгърне, за да се изпълните в цялата Божия пълнота.
20 [God] is able to do much (greater things/more) than we could ask him to do, or even that we might think that he can do, by his power that is working within us.
А на Този, Който, според действуващата в нас сила, може да направи несравнено повече, отколкото искаме или мислим,
