Afisawa 3
1 Saboda haka, ni Bulus, na zama ɗan kurkuku na Kiristi Yesu saboda ku Al’ummai.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 Na tabbata kun ji labarin hidimar alheri na musamman da Allah ya ba ni dominku.
If all of you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you:
3 Wannan wasiƙa za tă faɗa muku kaɗan game da yadda Allah ya bayyana mini shirinsa na asiri.
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words,
4 A yayinda kuke karanta wannan, za ku gane abin da na sani game da wannan shirin Kiristi.
Whereby, when all of you read, all of you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Ba a sanar da wannan asiri wa wani a sauran zamanai ba, amma a yanzu an bayyana shi ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ga manzanninsa da annabawansa.
Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; (pneuma)
6 Asirin nan kuwa shi ne cewa ta wurin bishara, Al’ummai sun zama waɗanda za su yi gādo tare da Isra’ila, sun zama gaɓoɓin jiki ɗaya, abokan tarayya kuma ga alkawaran nan a cikin Kiristi Yesu.
That the Gentiles should be join heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Na zama bawan wannan bishara ta wurin baiwar alherin Allah da aka yi mini ta wurin ikonsa da yake aiki a cikina.
Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
8 Ko da yake ni ba kome ba ne a cikin dukan mutanen Ubangiji, aka ba ni wannan baiwa mai daraja don in faɗa wa Al’ummai cewa saboda Kiristi akwai albarkun da suka wuce gaban misali.
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 An zaɓe ni in bayyana wa dukan mutane shirin asirin nan wanda Allah, mahaliccin kome, ya ɓoye shekara da shekaru. (aiōn g165)
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (aiōn g165)
10 Nufinsa shi ne, yanzu, ta wurin ikkilisiya, a sanar da hikima iri dabam-dabam na Allah ga masu mulki, da masu iko a samaniya.
To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
11 Wannan shi ne madawwamin shirinsa, kuma an aikata shi ta wurin Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu. (aiōn g165)
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 A cikinsa, kuma ta wurin bangaskiya a cikinsa ne muke da ƙarfin halin zuwa kusa da Allah gabagadi.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
13 Don haka, ina roƙonku kada ku fid da zuciya saboda abin da ake yi mini a nan. Ai, saboda ku ne nake shan wahalolin nan, wannan kuwa ɗaukakarku ce.
Wherefore I desire that all of you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Saboda wannan ne nake a durƙushe a gaban Uba,
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 wanda ya ba wa kowane iyali a sama da ƙasa suna.
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 Ina addu’a cewa daga yalwar ɗaukakarsa zai ƙarfafa ku da iko daga ciki ta wurin Ruhunsa.
That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit (pneuma) in the inner man;
17 Ina addu’a domin Kiristi yă zauna a cikin zukatanku ta wurin bangaskiya. Ina kuma addu’a saboda ku da kuka kahu sosai cikin ƙauna,
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that all of you, being rooted and grounded in love, (agape)
18 don ku sami iko, tare da dukan tsarkaka, ku fahimci fāɗi, tsawo, da kuma zurfin ƙaunar Kiristi take.
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 Ku kuma san wannan ƙauna wadda ta fi gaban sani, domin a cika ku da dukan cikar Allah.
And to know the love (agape) of Christ, which passes knowledge, that all of you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Bari ɗaukaka ta tabbata a gare shi shi wanda yake da ikon yin aiki a cikinmu, yana kuma aikata abubuwa fiye da dukan abin da muke roƙo, ko muke tunani.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
