Ndị Efesọs 3
1 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka mụ onwe m bụ Pọl bụ onye mkpọrọ nke Jisọs Kraịst maka unu ndị mba ọzọ.
For this reason I Paul, prisoner of the Christ Jesus for you nations,
2 Nʼihi nʼezie, unu anụla banyere nlekọta nke amara Chineke ahụ nke e nyere m maka ọdịmma unu.
(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,
3 Otu e si kpughee nzube nzuzo ya niile nye m, dị ka m gwara unu ihe banyere ya nʼokwu dị nta nʼakwụkwọ ozi ahụ m detara unu.
that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,
4 Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agụọ akwụkwọ ahụ m deere, unu ga-aghọta ihe m maara banyere ihe omimi Kraịst.
by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ, )
5 Nke a e meghị ka ụmụ mmadụ mara nʼọgbọ gara aga dị ka Mmụọ Nsọ siri kpugheere ya ndị ozi na ndị amụma ya dị nsọ ugbu a.
which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,
6 Otu a ka ndị mba ọzọ si soro bụrụ ndị nketa, ndị ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ na ndị ga-eketa nkwa ahụ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst site nʼoziọma.
that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;
7 E mere m ka m bụrụ onyeozi nke oziọma a, dịka onyinye amara nke Chineke si dị, bụ nke e nyere m site nʼịrụ ọrụ nke ike ya.
of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.
8 Ọ bụ ezie na mụ bụ onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼetiti ndị nsọ niile, e nyere m amara nke a, ikwusara ndị mba ọzọ oziọma banyere akụ nke enweghị atụ nke juru nʼime Kraịst,
To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,
9 meekwa ka mmadụ niile hụ ihe bụ atụmatụ nke ihe omimi e zoro nʼime Chineke onye kere ihe niile, ọtụtụ afọ. (aiōn g165)
and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things, (aiōn g165)
10 Ka ọ ga-abụ site na chọọchị, a ga-eme ka amamihe Chineke nʼụdị dị iche iche bụrụ ihe ọchịchị na ikike niile dị nʼeluigwe ga-amata.
in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,
11 Nke a bụ nʼusoro nke atụmatụ ya dị ebighị ebi, nke e mezuru nʼime Jisọs Kraịst Onyenwe anyị, (aiōn g165)
according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 bụ onye anyị nwere ntụkwasị obi na obi siri ike ịbịakwute site nʼokwukwe anyị nwere na ya.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence by the faith of him.
13 Nʼihi nke a, arịọ m ka unu ghara ịda mba maka mkpagbu m nʼihi unu, ha bụ otuto nye unu.
Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m na-egbu ikpere m nʼala nʼihu Nna anyị,
For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],
15 onye ezinaụlọ niile dị nʼụwa a na nke dị nʼeluigwe na-esite nʼaka ya enwe aha.
of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,
16 Ekpere m bụ ka o site nʼịba ụba nke otuto ya, nye unu ike na-esite na Mmụọ ya, mee ka unu dị ike nʼime mmụọ unu;
in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 ka Kraịst nwee ike biri nʼobi unu site nʼokwukwe, ka unu ndị gbanyere mgbọrọgwụ guzosiekwa ike nʼịhụnanya.
that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,
18 Ana m arịọkwa, ka unu na ndị nsọ niile nwee ike ịghọta ihe bụ obosara, ogologo, ịdị elu na ịdị omimi,
in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;
19 na ịmatakwa ịhụnanya nke Kraịst nke karịrị amamihe, ka unu jupụtakwa nʼizuoke niile nke Chineke.
and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.
20 Ugbu a, nye onye ahụ pụrụ imebiga ihe nʼoke karịa ihe niile nke anyị rịọrọ, maọbụ karịa ka anyị pụrụ ichepụta nʼuche anyị, site nʼike ya nke na-arụ ọrụ nʼime anyị,
But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,
