Efesoon 3
1 Sababii kanaaf ani Phaawulos isin Namoota Ormaatiif jedhee hidhamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼeera.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Isin dhugumaan waaʼee hojii ayyaana Waaqaa kan isiniif jedhamee natti kenname sanaa dhageessaniirtu;
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
3 kunis akkuma ani kanaan dura gabaabsee isinii barreessetti icciitii mulʼataatiin natti beeksifame.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Isin yommuu waan kana dubbiftanitti akka ani waaʼee icciitii Kiristoos beekumsa qabu hubachuu ni dandeessu;
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 icciitiin kunis akka amma Hafuuraan ergamootaa fi raajota qulqulloota Waaqaatti mulʼifametti dhaloota kaanitti hin beeksifamne.
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 Icciitiin kunis Namoonni Ormaa karaa wangeelaatiin saba Israaʼel wajjin dhaaltota, isaanuma wajjin dhagna tokko, waadaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin kenname keessatti immoo hirmaattota taʼuu isaanii ti.
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 Anis kennaa ayyaana Waaqaa kan karaa hojii humna isaatiin naa kennameen tajaajilaa wangeela kanaa taʼeera.
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 Ani qulqulloota hundaa gad taʼu iyyuu akka badhaadhummaa Kiristoos kan qoramee bira hin gaʼamne sana Namoota Ormaatti lallabuuf ayyaanni kun naa kennameera;
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 akkasumas icciitiin bara dheeraaf Waaqa waan hunda uumeen dhokfamee ture kun maal akka taʼe ani namoota hundaaf akka ibsuuf. (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 Kaayyoon isaas akka ogummaan Waaqaa inni dachaa hedduu qabu sun amma karaa waldaa kiristaanaatiin bulchitootaa fi abbootii taayitaa kanneen samii irra jiranitti beeksifamuuf;
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 kunis akkuma kaayyoo isaa kan bara baraa kan inni karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin raawwate sanaatti ture. (aiōn g165)
according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn g165)
12 Nus isaan, amantii isa irratti qabnuun, ija jabinaa fi amanachuudhaan Waaqatti dhiʼaachuu dandeenya.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Kanaafuu sababii ani isiniif dhiphachaa jiruuf jettanii akka abdii hin kutanne isin kadhadha; dhiphachuun koo ulfinuma keessan.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Sababii kanaaf ani fuula Abbaa duratti nan jilbeenfadha;
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 maatiin isaa warri samii irraa fi warri lafa irraa hundinuu maqaa isaanii isa irraa argatu.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Inni akkuma badhaadhummaa ulfina isaatti karaa Hafuura isaatiin namummaa keessan kan keessaa humnaan akka cimsuuf nan kadhadha;
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 akka Kiristoosis karaa amantiitiin garaa keessan keessa jiraatuuf nan kadhadha. Akka isin hidda gad fageeffattanii jaalalaan dhaabattaniifis nan kadhadha;
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 isinis jaalalli Kiristoos hammam akka balʼatu, hammam akka dheeratu, hammam akka ol fagaatuu fi hammam akka gad fagaatu qulqulloota hunda wajjin hubachuudhaaf akka humna qabaattaniif,
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 akka guutama Waaqaa hundaan guutamtaniifis jaalala Kiristoos kan beekumsaa ol taʼe sana akka beektaniif nan kadhadha.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Waaqa isa humna isaa kan nu keessatti hojjetu sanaan hamma nu kadhannu yookaan hamma nu yaadnu hundumaa olitti akka malee hojjechuu dandaʼu sanaaf,
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,
