Efesiana 3
1 Ary noho izany, izaho Paoly, mpifatotra an’ i Kristy Jesosy, noho ny aminareo jentilisa, ―
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2 raha mba renareo ny fitondrana ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra izay nomena ahy ho anareo,
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3 fa fanambarana no nampahafantarana ahy ny zava-niafina, araka ny voasoratro tamin’ ny teny fohifohy teo.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Ary araka izany, raha mamaky ianareo, dia ho hainareo fantarina ny fahafantarako ny zava-niafina ny amin’ i Kristy,
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding 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,
which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, 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,
that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
7 izay nanaovana ahy ho mpanompo araka ny fanomezan’ ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra, izay nomena ahy araka ny fiàsan’ ny heriny.
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 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,
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to 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 make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ, (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,
to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
11 araka ny fikasana hatrizay hatrizay izay nataony tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika, (aiōn g165)
according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Izay ananantsika fahasahiana sy fanatonana amin’ ny fahatokiana noho ny finoana Azy.
In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Koa izany no angatahako aminareo mba tsy ho ketraka amin’ ny fahoriako ho anareo, fa voninahitrareo izany.
Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14 Ary noho izany no andohalehako amin’ ny Ray
For this cause, I bow 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 every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 mba homeny anareo, araka ny haren’ ny voninahiny, ny mba hohatanjahina fatratra amin’ ny Fanahiny ny toe-panahinareo;
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 mba hitoeran’ i Kristy ao am-ponareo amin’ ny finoana, ka hamaka sy hiorina mafy amin’ ny fitiavana ianareo,
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 mba hahaizanareo mbamin’ ny olona masìna rehetra ny hahafantatra tsara izay sakany sy lavany ary hahavony sy halavany.
may be strengthened to comprehend 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.
and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, 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 exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
