Abaefeso 3
1 Nze Pawulo, Kristo Yesu yanfuula omusibe we, nsobole okuyamba mmwe Abaamawanga.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles -
2 Mwawulira ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa okubayamba.
for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?
3 Nga bwe nasooka okubawandiikira mu bimpimpi, Katonda alina okubikkulirwa okw’ekyama kwe yandaga.
You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.
4 Bwe munaasoma ebbaluwa eno mujja kusobola okutegeera ebyo bye mmanyi ku kyama kya Kristo.
By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ
5 Mu biro eby’edda, tewali yali amanyi kyama ekyo okutuusa Omwoyo wa Katonda bw’akibikkulidde abatume be abatukuvu ne bannabbi.
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 Kino kye kyama kye njogerako: olw’enjiri ya Kristo, Abaamawanga balisikira wamu ne Isirayiri ekyo Katonda kye yasuubiza, era baliba omubiri gumu, era ne bagabanira wamu ekisuubizo ekyo mu Kristo Yesu.
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 Nafuuka omuweereza w’enjiri eyo olw’ekirabo eky’ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa, Katonda ng’akolera mu maanyi ge.
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 Newaakubadde nga nze nsembayo wansi mu batukuvu bonna, naweebwa ekisa ekyo, okubuulira Abaamawanga emikisa egiri mu Kristo egitageraageraganyizika.
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 Katonda eyatonda ebintu byonna yayagala nnyambe buli muntu okutegeera ebyekyama ebyali bikwekeddwa mu Katonda. (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 Katonda yakigenderera atyo, ng’ayita mu kkanisa, alyoke yeeyoleke eri amaanyi n’obuyinza ebiri mu nsi ey’omwoyo eya waggulu, ng’abalaga nga bw’alina amagezi amangi ag’ebika eby’enjawulo.
in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,
11 Katonda yakola bw’atyo ng’enteekateeka ye ey’emirembe n’emirembe bw’eri, gye yatuukiriza mu ebyo byonna Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe bye yakola. (aiōn g165)
according to his eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Kristo atuwa obuvumu n’obugumu, tulyoke tusembere mu maaso ga Katonda olw’okukkiriza nga tetutya.
In him we have this fearless confidence and boldness of access through our faith in him.
13 Kyenva mbeegayirira muleme kuterebuka olw’okubonaabona kwange ku lwammwe, kubanga ekyo kibaleetera kitiibwa.
So I beg you not to lose heart over my tribulations in your behalf; they are your glory.
14 Nfukaamirira Kitaffe,
For this cause I bend my knees before the Father,
15 ebika byonna eby’omu ggulu n’eby’oku nsi mwe biggya obulamu.
from whom every fatherhood in heaven and earth is named,
16 Nsaba Katonda oyo akola eby’ekitalo era agulumizibwa, agumyenga era anywezenga omuntu wammwe ow’omunda, olw’Omwoyo we,
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 Kristo alyoke abeerenga mu mitima gyammwe olw’okukkiriza kwammwe. Mbasabira mubeerenga n’emirandira mu kwagala nga mukunywereddemu,
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 mulyoke mubeerenga n’amaanyi awamu n’abatukuvu bonna, okusobola okutegeera obugazi, n’obuwanvu, n’obugulumivu n’okukka wansi ebiri mu kwagala kwa Kristo.
that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"
19 Njagala mutegeere okwagala kwa Kristo okusukkiridde okutegeera kwonna, mulyoke musobole okutegeerera ddala Katonda bw’ali.
and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.
20 Kaakano nsaba nti oyo akola ebintu byonna okusinga byonna bye tusaba, ne bye tulowooza, ng’amaanyi ge bwe gali agakolera mu ffe,
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,
