Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ |
2 if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,
| ܐܢ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܒܟܘܢ |
3 and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.
| ܕܒܓܠܝܢܐ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܠܝ ܐܪܙܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܟܬܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܙܥܘܪܝܬܐ |
4 By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ
| ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܡܫܟܚܝܬܘܢ ܟܕ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܤܬܟܠܘ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܕܒܐܪܙܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ |
5 which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit--
| ܗܘ ܕܒܕܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܕܥ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܗܫܐ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܫܠܝܚܘܗܝ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܠܢܒܝܘܗܝ ܒܪܘܚ |
6 I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
| ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܒܢܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܘܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܦܓܪܗ ܘܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܒܗ ܒܝܕ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ |
7 in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.
| ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܡܫܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ |
8 To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted--to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,
| ܠܝ ܕܙܥܘܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܐܤܒܪ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܥܘܬܪܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܥܩܒ |
9 and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things-- (aiōn g165)
| ܘܐܢܗܪ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܙܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܠ ܒܪܐ (aiōn g165) |
10 concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.
| ܕܒܝܕ ܥܕܬܐ ܬܬܝܕܥ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܝܬ ܦܘܪܫܢܐ ܠܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܠܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ |
| ܗܝ ܕܥܬܕ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܥܒܕܗ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܪܢ (aiōn g165) |
12 in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him.
| ܗܘ ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܦܪܗܤܝܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܘܬܐ ܒܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ |
13 Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܫܐܠܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܝ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܟܘܢ |
14 For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,
| ܘܟܐܦܢܐ ܒܘܪܟܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ |
15 from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name,
| ܗܘ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܫܬܡܗܐ ܟܠ ܐܒܗܘܬܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ |
16 to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.
| ܕܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܒܚܝܠܐ ܬܫܬܪܪܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܕܒܒܪܢܫܟܘܢ ܕܠܓܘ |
17 I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,
| ܢܥܡܪ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܥܩܪܟܘܢ ܘܫܬܐܤܬܟܘܢ |
18 as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth--
| ܕܬܫܟܚܘܢ ܠܡܕܪܟܘ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܡܢܘ ܪܘܡܐ ܘܥܘܡܩܐ ܘܐܘܪܟܐ ܘܦܬܝܐ |
19 yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.
| ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܚܘܒܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܬܬܡܠܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܘܠܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
20 Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts--
| ܠܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܨܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܫܐܠܝܢܢ ܘܪܢܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܡܤܬܥܪ ܒܢ |
