Ephesus 3
1 Ke sripa se inge, nga, Paul, nga sie mwet kapir lun Christ Jesus keiwos su mwet sayen mwet Jew.
For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles--
2 Nga lulalfongi mu kowos lohng tari lah ke sripen lungkulang lun God, El ase orekma se inge kunuk in akwoye kowos.
if, that is, you have heard of the work which God has graciously entrusted to me for your benefit,
3 God El ikasla pwapa lukma lal nu sik tuh nga in kalem kac. (Nga sim tari ke ma inge ke kas pu,
and that by a revelation the truth hitherto kept secret was made known to me as I have already briefly explained it to you.
4 ac kowos fin rit ke ma nga simusla inge, kowos ac etu ke ma nga kalem kac ke ouiyen pwapa lun God su tia eteyuk meet, a sikyak inge ke Christ.)
By means of that explanation, as you read it, you can judge of my insight into the truth of Christ
5 In pacl meet ah tiana fwackyuk ma lukma inge nu sin mwet uh, a inge Ngun lun God akkalemye nu sin mwet sap mutal ac mwet palu lal.
which in earlier ages was not made known to the human race, as it has now been revealed to His holy Apostles and Prophets through the Spirit--
6 Ma lukma se inge pa: mwet sayen mwet Jew elos wi mwet Jew ipeis ke mwe insewowo lun God ke sripen Wosasu. Elos lahn mano sefanna, ac elos tukeni ipeis ke wulela lun God ma akpwayeyuk in Christ Jesus.
I mean the truth that the Gentiles are joint heirs with us Jews, and that they form one body with us, and have the same interest as we have in the promise which has been made good in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Ke sripen lungkulang lun God nu sik, ac ku lal su orekma in nga, El kuneyuwi sie mwet kulansap in fahkak Wosasu.
in which I have been appointed to serve, in virtue of the work which God, in the exercise of His power within me, has graciously entrusted to me.
8 Nga srik liki el su srik oemeet sin mwet lun God nukewa. Ne ouinge, God El ase kunokon se inge nu sik, su arulana yohk sripa ac saok, tuh nga in sulkakinelik Pweng Wo ke kasrpen wolana lun Christ su wangin eteyen saflaiya, nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.
To me who am less than the least of all God's people has this work been graciously entrusted--to proclaim to the Gentiles the Good News of the exhaustless wealth of Christ,
9 God, su orala ma nukewa, El okanla pwapa lukma lal liki fwil nukewa meet ah, na ma kunuk in oru tuh mwet nukewa in kalem kac lah pwapa sac ac akpwayeyuk fuka. (aiōn g165)
and to show all men in a clear light what my stewardship is. It is the stewardship of the truth which from all the Ages lay concealed in the mind of God, the Creator of all things-- (aiōn g165)
10 Na in pacl inge, God El orekmakin church in akkalemye nu sin leum ac lipufan su oasr ku la inkusrao, ke lalmwetmet yoklana lun God in ouiya puspis ac in ma nukewa.
concealed in order that the Church might now be used to display to the powers and authorities in the heavenly realms the innumerable aspects of God's wisdom.
11 God El oru ouinge fal nu ke ma El pu oemeet me, ac El akpwayeyela ke Christ Jesus, Leum lasr. (aiōn g165)
Such was the eternal purpose which He had formed in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Ke kut kupasryang nu sin Christ ac lulalfongi in el, kut pulaik in utyak nu ye mutun God ac arulana etu lah El ac lohme nu sesr.
in whom we have this bold and confident access through our faith in Him.
13 Ke ma inge nga kwafe nu suwos tuh kowos in tia fuhleak ke sripen keok luk keiwos; tuh ma inge nukewa ma in akwoye kowos.
Therefore I entreat you not to lose heart in the midst of my sufferings on your behalf, for they bring you honour.
14 Ke sripa se inge, nga sikukmutuntei ye mutun Papa,
For this reason, on bended knee I beseech the Father,
15 su asang ine na pwaye lun sou nukewa inkusrao ac fin faclu.
from whom the whole family in Heaven and on earth derives its name,
16 Nga siyuk sin God ke kasrpen wolana lal, tuh El fah asot ku lun Ngun lal nu suwos in akkeye moul in ngun lowos.
to grant you--in accordance with the wealth of His glorious perfections--to be strengthened by His Spirit with power penetrating to your inmost being.
17 Ac nga pre tuh Christ elan muta insiowos ke sripen lulalfongi lowos. Nga oayapa pre tuh kowos in tu ku ac okala in lungse,
I pray that Christ may make His home in your hearts through your faith; so that having your roots deep and your foundations strong, in love, you may become mighty to grasp the idea,
18 tuh kowos, ac oayapa mwet lun God nukewa, fah ku in akilen sralapa, lusa, fulata ac loaliyen lungse yoklana lun Christ nu suwos.
as it is grasped by all God's people, of the breadth and length, the height and depth--
19 Aok, nga kena tuh kowos in etu ke lungse lal — finne alukela ma kut ku in kalem kac — tuh kowos ac arulana sessesla ke ouiya lun God.
yes, to attain to a knowledge of the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, so that you may be made complete in accordance with God's own standard of completeness.
20 Nu sel, su ku in oru arulana yohk liki ma nukewa kut siyuk ku nunku kac, ke sripen ku lal ma orekma in kut:
Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts--
