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.
Zategavoljo jaz, Pavel, jetnik Kristusa Jezusa za vas pogane
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].
Ako ste torej čuli naredbo milosti Božje, dane mi za vas,
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,
Da je po razodetji naznanil mi skrivnost (kakor sem prej pisal o kratkem,
4 you will be able to understand that I understand clearly that message about Christ.
Iz česar morete beróč spoznati razumljenje moje v skrivnosti Kristusovi, )
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).
Katera se v druzih rodovih ni naznanila sinom človeškim, kakor se je zdaj razodela svetim aposteljnom njegovim in prerokom v Duhu;
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].
Da so pogani sodedniki in sotelesniki in sodeležniki obljube njegove v Kristusu po evangelji,
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.
Katerega služabnik sem postal po daru milosti Božje, podeljene mi po kreposti moči njegove;
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,
Meni najmanjšemu izmed vseh svetih dana je milost tá, oznanjati med pogani neizsledno bogastvo Kristusovo,
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)
In razsvetliti vse, katero je deleštvo skrivnosti od vekomaj skrite v Bogu, kateri je vse vstvaril po Jezusu Kristusu, (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.
Da se naznani zdaj poglavarstvom in oblastim v nebesih po občini mnogotera modrost Božja,
11 That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
Po sklepu od vekomaj, katerega je storil v Kristusu Jezusu, Gospodu našem, (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.
V katerem imamo svobodnost in pristop v zaupanji po veri njegovi.
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].
Zato prosim, da ne opešajte v stiskah mojih za vas, kar je slava vaša.
14 Because [God has done all this for you], I kneel [and pray] [MTY] to [God our] Father.
Zategadelj pripogibljem kolena svoja pred očetom Gospoda našega Jezusa Kristusa,
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.
Po katerem se imenuje sleherna rodovina v nebesih in na zemlji,
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.
Da vam dá po bogastvu slave svoje, okrepčati se v moči po Duhu svojem v notranjega človeka,
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,
Da se Kristus po veri vseli v srca vaša, ki ste ukoreninjeni in utrjeni v ljubezni,
18 along with all other believers, may be able to know how very [DOU] much Christ loves [us(inc)].
Da zmorete doumeti z vsemi svetimi, kaj je širjava in dolžava, in globočina in visočina,
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.
In spoznate spoznanje presezajočo ljubezen Kristusovo, da se napolnite do vse polnosti Božje.
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.
Njemu pa, ki more nad vse storiti preobilo več nego prosimo ali mislimo, po moči, ki deluje v nas,
