Efèz 3
1 Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Pòl ki nan prizon poutèt Kris la pou byen nou, nou menm ki pa jwif, m'ap lapriyè pou nou devan Bondye.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Messiah Yeshua on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 Mwen kwè nou konnen deja ki jan Bondye, nan bon kè l', te ban m' travay sa a pou m' te fè pou nou.
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3 Bondye devwale m' sekrè travay li a, pou m' te ka konnen plan li te gen sere nan kè li. Se sou plan sa a mwen deja ekri nou kèk mo pi wo a.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Lè n'a li yo, n'a kapab gen yon lide ki jan mwen konprann sekrè Kris la.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Messiah,
5 Nan tan lontan Bondye pa t' devwale plan travay sa a bay ankenn moun sou latè, men koulye a, ak pouvwa Sentespri a, li devwale l' bay moun li mete apa pou sèvi l' apòt ak pwofèt.
which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy emissaries and prophets in the Spirit,
6 Men sekrè a: Nan Jezikri, ak pouvwa bon nouvèl la, moun ki pa jwif yo gen pou resevwa ansanm ak jwif yo pòsyon pa yo nan byen Bondye a. Yo se manm yon menm kò ansanm ak jwif yo, y'ap jwenn pa yo ansanm ak yo tou nan menm pwomès Bondye te fè a.
that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Messiah Yeshua through the Good News,
7 Kifè m'ap sèvi bon nouvèl sa a, se paske Bondye nan bon kè l' fè m' yon favè, li fè pouvwa li travay nan mwen.
of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Mwen pi pitit pase moun ki pi pitit nan tout pèp Bondye a. Men atousa, se mwen menm Bondye bay privilèj sa a, pou m' fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen bon nouvèl richès Kris la, richès moun p'ap janm fin konprann.
To me, the very least of all holy ones, was this grace given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Messiah,
9 Li ban m' privilèj sa a pou m' fè tout moun wè aklè ki jan plan travay Bondye te sere nan kè li a ap reyalize, paske Bondye ki kreye tout bagay te kenbe plan sa a nan kè l' depi lontan. (aiōn g165)
and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Yeshua the Messiah, (aiōn g165)
10 Men koulye a, avèk legliz la, tout chèf ak tout otorite ki nan syèl la pral rive konnen bon konprann Bondye a sou tout fòm li yo.
to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
11 Bondye aji konsa dapre plan ki te la depi lontan an. Se plan sa a li reyalize nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an. (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Ak lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la, gremesi konfyans nou gen nan li a, nou lib pou nou pwoche devan Bondye san kè sote.
In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Se sak fè, mwen mande nou pou nou pa dekouraje poutèt soufrans m'ap sibi pou nou yo, paske se yon bèl avantaj sa ye pou nou.
Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14 Wi, se poutèt sa, mwen tonbe ajenou devan Papa a,
For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
15 ki bay tout fanmi ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a non yo.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 M'ap mande Bondye pou li ban nou, dapre richès pouvwa li a, fòs ak kouraj nan kè nou, pa mwayen pouvwa Sentespri a, pou nou ka grandi nan karaktè nou,
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
17 pou Kris la rete nan kè nou ak konfyans nou gen nan li a. M'ap mande Bondye pou nou pouse rasin, pou nou chita byen fèm nan renmen,
that Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 pou nou ka konprann, ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a, jan renmen Kris la laj, jan li long, jan li fon, jan li wo.
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the width and length and height and depth,
19 Wi, mwen mande pou nou rive konnen kalite renmen Kris la gen pou nou, atout pesonn p'ap janm ka rive konnen l' nèt. Konsa, n'a vin plen nèt ak tou sa ki nan Bondye.
and to know Messiah’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Tout lwanj lan se pou Bondye. Paske, ak pouvwa k'ap travay nan nou an, li kapab fè pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mande, pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mete nan lide nou.
Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
