Epeso 3
1 NO keia mea, he paahao wau o Paulo na Kristo Iesu, no oukou no ko na aina e;
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles -
2 No ka mea, ua lohe no oukou i ka oihana lokomaikai o ke Akua ana i haawi mai ai ia'u no oukou.
for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?
3 Ma ka hoikeia i hoakaka mai ai oia iau i ka mea ikea ole; ka mea a'u i palapala pokolo aku ai mamua;
You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.
4 A heluhelu oukou, e ike auanei oukou ilaila i kuu ike ana i ka mea ikea ole no Kristo,
By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ
5 I ka mea i hoike ole ia mai i na keiki a kanaka i na hanauna mamua, e like me ia i hoikeia mai e ka Uhane i neia manawa i kana poe lanaolelo hoano a me na kaula;
which was not disclosed to the sons of men in former generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets,
6 I lilo ai na lahuikanaka e i poe hoahooilina, i kino hookahi, i poe hoalawe pu i ka olelo hoopomaikai no Kristo ma ka euanelio.
namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles form one body with us the Jews, and are coheirs and copartners in the promise, through the gospel.
7 No ia mea i hooliloia'e au i kahuna, ma ka haawina lokomaikai o ke Akua ana i haawi mai ai ia'u, ma ka ikaika o kona mana.
It is of this gospel I became a minister according to the gift of the power of the grace of God, bestowed on me by the energy of his power.
8 Ua haawiia mai keia lokomaikai ia'u, i ka mea uuku iho o na haipule uuku loa a pau, e hai aku ai au i na lahuikanaka e i ka waiwai kupanaha o Kristo;
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 A e hoike aku hoi i na kanaka a pau i ke ano o ka mea pohihihi i hunaia mai ke kumu mai iloko o ke Akua, nana i hana na mea a pau ma o Iesu Kristo la: (aiōn g165)
and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe, (aiōn g165)
10 I hoikeia aku ai ma ka ekalesia i na alii a i na mea mana o ka lani, ka nui loa o ko ke Akua akamai,
in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,
according to his eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Ua loaa mai ia kakou ma ona la ka olelo wiwo ole, me ka hookipaia a me ka manaolana ma ka manaoio ia ia.
In him we have this fearless confidence and boldness of access through our faith in him.
13 Nolaila, ke noi aku nei au e pauaho ole oukou i kuu pilikia ana no oukou, o ka oukou ia e pomaikai ai.
So I beg you not to lose heart over my tribulations in your behalf; they are your glory.
14 No keia mea, ke kukuli nei no au imua o ka Makua o ko kakou Haku o Iesu Kristo,
For this cause I bend my knees before the Father,
15 Nona hoi i kapaia mai ka inoa o ka ohana a pau ma ka lani, a ma ka honua,
from whom every fatherhood in heaven and earth is named,
16 I haawi mai ai oia ia oukou, ma ka nui o kona mini, e hooikaika nui ia mai ke kanaka oloko e kona Uhane;
praying him to grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inmost being;
17 I noho ai o Kristo iloko o ko oukou naau ma ka manaoio; i hoopaaia oukou i ke aa a i hookumuia ma ke aloha,
that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love,
18 I hiki ia oukou ke ike me na haipule a pau i ka laula, a me ka loa, a me ka hohonu, a me ke kiekie;
that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"
19 I ike hoi oukou i ke aloha o Kristo, i ka mea e pakela ana i ka ike; i hoopihaia no hoi oukou i ka mea a pau a ke Akua i piha ai.
and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.
20 A o ka mea nona ka mana e hana mai ai i na mea a pau a kakou e noi aku ai, a e manao iho ai, a nui loa aku hoi, ma ka mana e hooikaika ana iloko o kakou,
Now unto him who, according to his might that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or even think,
