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 cause I Paul am the prisoner of Jesus Christ for the sake of you Gentiles:
2 Nʼihi nʼezie, unu anụla banyere nlekọta nke amara Chineke ahụ nke e nyere m maka ọdịmma unu.
as ye have heard the dispensation of the grace of God, which was given me to preach unto 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 immediate revelation He made known to me the mystery, (as I wrote before in brief, by which,
4 Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agụọ akwụkwọ ahụ m deere, unu ga-aghọta ihe m maara banyere ihe omimi Kraịst.
when ye read it, ye may perceive my knowledge in the mystery of 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 was not made known to men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be co-heirs,
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.
and of the same body, and joint-partakers of his promise in Christ, by the gospel:
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 was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God conferred on me by the effectual operation 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,
On me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace bestowed, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of 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 make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ; (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.
that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly regions;
11 Nke a bụ nʼusoro nke atụmatụ ya dị ebighị ebi, nke e mezuru nʼime Jisọs Kraịst Onyenwe anyị, (aiōn g165)
according to the ancient purpose, which He executed 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.
by whom we have freedom and access with confidence through faith in Him.
13 Nʼihi nke a, arịọ m ka unu ghara ịda mba maka mkpagbu m nʼihi unu, ha bụ otuto nye unu.
Wherefore I desire that ye would not be discouraged at my afflictions on your account, which is your glory.
14 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m na-egbu ikpere m nʼala nʼihu Nna anyị,
For this cause 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.
from whom the whole family in heaven 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;
that He would grant you, according to his glorious riches, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit, as to the inner man;
17 ka Kraịst nwee ike biri nʼobi unu site nʼokwukwe, ka unu ndị gbanyere mgbọrọgwụ guzosiekwa ike nʼịhụnanya.
that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith: and be ye rooted and grounded in love,
18 Ana m arịọkwa, ka unu na ndị nsọ niile nwee ike ịghọta ihe bụ obosara, ogologo, ịdị elu na ịdị omimi,
that ye may be able, with all the saints, to comprehend what is the breadth, and length, and depth,
19 na ịmatakwa ịhụnanya nke Kraịst nke karịrị amamihe, ka unu jupụtakwa nʼizuoke niile nke Chineke.
and height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasseth knowledge; that ye may be filled according to the abundant 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,
Now to Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power operating in us,
