Efesiana 3
1 Ary noho izany, izaho Paoly, mpifatotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy, noho ny aminareo jentilisa, ―
By reason of this grace, I, Paul, am a prisoner of Jesus Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles.
2 raha mba renareo ny fitondrana ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra izay nomena ahy ho anareo,
Now certainly, you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which has been given to me among you:
3 fa fanambarana no nampahafantarana ahy ny zava-niafina, araka ny voasoratro tamin’ ny teny fohifohy teo.
that, by means of revelation, the mystery was made known to me, just as I have written above in a few words.
4 Ary araka izany, raha mamaky ianareo, dia ho hainareo fantarina ny fahafantarako ny zava-niafina ny amin’ i Kristy,
Yet, by reading this closely, you might be able to understand my prudence in the mystery of Christ.
5 izay tsy mbola nampahafantarina ny zanak’ olombelona tamin’ ny taranaka lasa tahaka ny fanambaran’ ny Fanahy ankehitriny amin’ ny Apostoly masìna sy ny mpaminany,
In other generations, this was unknown to the sons of men, even as it has now been revealed to his holy Apostles and Prophets in the Spirit,
6 dia ny ahatongavan’ ny jentilisa ho mpiray lova sy ho tena iray ary ho mpiombona ny teny fikasana ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy noho ny filazantsara,
so that the Gentiles would be co-heirs, and of the same body, and partners together, by his promise in Christ Jesus, through the Gospel.
7 izay nanaovana ahy ho mpanompo araka ny fanomezan’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra, izay nomena ahy araka ny fiàsan’ ny heriny.
Of this Gospel, I have been made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God, which has been given to me by means of the operation of his virtue.
8 Eny, izaho, izay kely noho ny kely indrindra amin’ ny olona masìna rehetra, no nomena izao fahasoavana izao, dia ny hitory amin’ ny jentilisa ny haren’ i Kristy tsy hita lany,
Although I am the least of all the saints, I have been given this grace: to evangelize among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 ary ny hampahazava ny olona rehetra mba hahalalany izay fitondrana ny zava-miafina, dia Ilay voafina hatramin’ ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao tao amin’ Andriamanitra, Izay nanao ny zavatra rehetra; (aiōn g165)
and to enlighten everyone concerning the dispensation of the mystery, hidden before the ages in God who created all things, (aiōn g165)
10 mba hampahafantarina ireo fanapahana sy fahefana any an-danitra amin’ izao ankehitriny izao ny mahamaro samy hafa ny fahendren’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny fitondrany ny fiangonana,
so that the manifold wisdom of God may become well-known to the principalities and powers in the heavens, through the Church,
11 araka ny fikasana hatrizay hatrizay izay nataony tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, (aiōn g165)
according to that timeless purpose, which he has formed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Izay ananantsika fahasahiana sy fanatonana amin’ ny fahatokiana noho ny finoana Azy.
In him we trust, and so we approach with confidence, through his faith.
13 Koa izany no angatahako aminareo mba tsy ho ketraka amin’ ny fahoriako ho anareo, fa voninahitrareo izany.
Because of this, I ask you not to be weakened by my tribulations on your behalf; for this is your glory.
14 Ary noho izany no andohalehako amin’ ny Ray
By reason of this grace, I bend my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Izay ahazoan’ ny fianakaviana rehetra any an-danitra sy etỳ an-tany anarana,
from whom all paternity in heaven and on earth takes its name.
16 mba homeny anareo, araka ny haren’ ny voninahiny, ny mba hohatanjahina fatratra amin’ ny Fanahiny ny toe-panahinareo;
And I ask him to grant to you to be strengthened in virtue by his Spirit, in accord with the wealth of his glory, in the inner man,
17 mba hitoeran’ i Kristy ao am-ponareo amin’ ny finoana, ka hamaka sy hiorina mafy amin’ ny fitiavana ianareo,
so that Christ may live in your hearts through a faith rooted in, and founded on, charity.
18 mba hahaizanareo mbamin’ ny olona masìna rehetra ny hahafantatra tsara izay sakany sy lavany ary hahavony sy halavany.
So may you be able to embrace, with all the saints, what is the width and length and height and depth
19 ary hahalala ny fitiavan’ i Kristy, izay mihoatra noho ny fahalalana, mba hamenoana anareo ho amin’ ny fahafenoan’ Andriamanitra rehetra.
of the charity of Christ, and even be able to know that which surpasses all knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Ary ho an’ izay mahay manao mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, eny, mihoatra lavitra noho izay rehetra angatahintsika na heverintsika aza, araka ny hery izay miasa ato amintsika,
Now to him who is able to do all things, more abundantly than we could ever ask or understand, by means of the virtue which is at work in us:
