Efesotɔwo 3
1 Le esia ta la, nye Paulo, Kristo Yesu ƒe dɔla, mele gaxɔ me le mi ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la ta.
Of this Because I myself Paul the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles;
2 Mexɔe se be miese Mawu ƒe amenuveve, si wònam le mia ta,
If indeed you have heard of the administration of the grace of God which having been given to me toward you
3 le esia me be Mawu na menya eƒe ɖoɖo ɣaɣla la be ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o hã nakpɔ amenuveve. Megblɔ nya sia na mi do ŋgɔ kpuie to agbalẽŋɔŋlɔ na mi me.
for by revelation (He made known *N(k)O*) to me the mystery even as I have written before in brief,
4 Ne miexlẽ agbalẽ sia la, miase ale si mewɔ nya Kristo ƒe nya ɣaɣla siawo gɔme.
by which you are able reading [it] to understand the insight of mine into the mystery of Christ,
5 Le blema la, Mawu meɖe eƒe ɖoɖo sia fia eƒe amewo o, gake fifia la, eɖee fia eƒe apostolo kɔkɔewo kple nyagblɔɖilawo to Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la dzi.
which (in *k*) in other generations not was made known to the sons of men as now it has been revealed to the holy apostles of His and to [his] prophets in [the] Spirit,
6 Azɔ nya ɣaɣla lae nye be: to nyanyui la gbɔgblɔ me la, ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la hã azu domenyilawo abe Israelviwo ene; wozu ƒometɔwo kple ŋutilã ɖeka, eye woakpɔ gome le ŋugbedodo si le Kristo Yesu me la me.
being the Gentiles joint-heirs and a joint-body and joint-partakers of the promise (of him *k*) in (*k*) Christ (Jesus *NO*) through the gospel,
7 Mezu nyanyui la ƒe dɔla to Mawu ƒe nunana kple amenuveve si tso eƒe ŋusẽ ƒe dɔwɔwɔ me la me.
of which (I would be *N(k)O*) servant according to the gift of the grace of God (which having been given *N(k)O*) to me according to the working of the power of Him.
8 Togbɔ be nyemesɔ kple ame gblɔetɔ kekeake le Mawu ƒe amewo dome o hã la, etsɔ amenuveve sia nam be magblɔ Kristo ƒe nyanyui la na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o,
To me myself the very least of all (of the *k*) saints was given grace this, (among *k*) the Gentiles to evangelise (the *N(k)O*) unsearchable (riches *N(k)O*) of Christ
9 eye maɖe nya ɣaɣla sia gɔme na ame sia ame. Le blema la, wodzra nya sia ɖo ɖe Mawu, ame si wɔ nuwo katã la me. (aiōn g165)
and to enlighten all what [is] the (administration *N(K)O*) of the mystery which hidden from the ages in God the [One] who all things having created (through Jesus Christ *K*) (aiōn g165)
10 Eƒe susue nye be fifia la, to hame la dzi la, woaɖe Mawu ƒe nunya afia dziɖulawo kple ŋusẽtɔwo le dziƒonutowo me,
so that may be made known now to the rulers and to the authorities in the heavenly realms through the church the manifold wisdom of God
according to [the] purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in (*no*) Christ Jesus the Lord of us, (aiōn g165)
12 Azɔ la, míate ŋu ado ɖe Mawu ŋkume le xɔse, ablɔɖe kple dzideƒotɔ me.
in whom we have boldness and (*k*) access in confidence through the faith from Him.
13 Eya ta dzi megaɖe le mia ƒo ɖe nye fukpekpewo ta o, ke boŋ mitsɔe be enye bubudede mia ŋu.
Therefore I implore [you] not to lose heart at the tribulations of mine for you, which is glory of you.
14 Susu sia ta medzea klo doa gbe ɖa na Fofo la,
of this Because I bow the knees of mine to the Father (of the Lord of us Jesus Christ *K*)
15 ame si gbɔ xɔsetɔwo ƒe ƒomeawo katã, esiwo le dziƒo kple anyigba dzi la kpɔa woƒe ŋkɔ tsona.
from whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
16 Medoa gbe ɖa be tso eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe kesinɔnu gbogboawo me la, wòana ŋusẽ tɔxɛ mi to eƒe Gbɔgbɔ la dzi,
that (He may give *N(k)O*) you according to (the riches *N(k)O*) of the glory of Him with power to be strengthened through the Spirit of Him in the inner man,
17 be Kristo nanɔ miaƒe dziwo me to xɔse me. Eye medoa gbe ɖa be miali ke ɖe eƒe lɔlɔ̃ la me,
[for] to dwell Christ through faith in the hearts of you in love rooted and founded,
18 be wòana ŋusẽ mi abe ame kɔkɔewo katã ene, eye miate ŋu ase Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ ƒe kekeme, eƒe didime, eƒe kɔkɔme kple eƒe goglome gɔme,
so that you may be fully able to grasp with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and height and depth
19 be mianya be Kristo ƒe lɔlɔ̃ sia ƒo gɔmesesewo katã ta, be Mawu ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ la katã nayɔ mi fũu.
to know then which is surpassing knowledge love of Christ, so that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
20 Azɔ hena eya ame si tea ŋu wɔa nu geɖe wu nu siwo katã míebiana alo susuna, le eƒe ŋusẽ si le dɔ wɔm le mía me la,
To the [One] now being able above all things to do super overexcessively super overexcessively super overexcessively that we ask or we think according to the power which is working in us,
