< Abaefeso 3 >

1 Nze Pawulo, Kristo Yesu yanfuula omusibe we, nsobole okuyamba mmwe Abaamawanga.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Mwawulira ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa okubayamba.
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
3 Nga bwe nasooka okubawandiikira mu bimpimpi, Katonda alina okubikkulirwa okw’ekyama kwe yandaga.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Bwe munaasoma ebbaluwa eno mujja kusobola okutegeera ebyo bye mmanyi ku kyama kya Kristo.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Mu biro eby’edda, tewali yali amanyi kyama ekyo okutuusa Omwoyo wa Katonda bw’akibikkulidde abatume be abatukuvu ne bannabbi.
which in other generations was not made known to people, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
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.
that the non-Jews are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 Nafuuka omuweereza w’enjiri eyo olw’ekirabo eky’ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa, Katonda ng’akolera mu maanyi ge.
of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
8 Newaakubadde nga nze nsembayo wansi mu batukuvu bonna, naweebwa ekisa ekyo, okubuulira Abaamawanga emikisa egiri mu Kristo egitageraageraganyizika.
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 Katonda eyatonda ebintu byonna yayagala nnyambe buli muntu okutegeera ebyekyama ebyali bikwekeddwa mu Katonda. (aiōn g165)
and to bring to light for all what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things; (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.
to the intent that now through the church the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places,
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 the purpose of the ages 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 whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Kyenva mbeegayirira muleme kuterebuka olw’okubonaabona kwange ku lwammwe, kubanga ekyo kibaleetera kitiibwa.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Nfukaamirira Kitaffe,
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 ebika byonna eby’omu ggulu n’eby’oku nsi mwe biggya obulamu.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Nsaba Katonda oyo akola eby’ekitalo era agulumizibwa, agumyenga era anywezenga omuntu wammwe ow’omunda, olw’Omwoyo we,
that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person;
17 Kristo alyoke abeerenga mu mitima gyammwe olw’okukkiriza kwammwe. Mbasabira mubeerenga n’emirandira mu kwagala nga mukunywereddemu,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and 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.
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 Njagala mutegeere okwagala kwa Kristo okusukkiridde okutegeera kwonna, mulyoke musobole okutegeerera ddala Katonda bw’ali.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness 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 to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
21 agulumizibwenga mu Kkanisa ne mu Kristo Yesu, emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
