Ephesi 3
1 Masikin keima Paul hin, nangni Jentailngei rang sika Khrista Jisua taka intângmi hin Pathien kôma chubai ko tho ngâi ani.
Because [God has done all this for] you non-Jews, I, Paul, [pray for you. I want you to know that it is because I serve] Christ Jesus for your sake that I am in prison.
2 Nin satna ranga sintho rangin Pathien'n a moroina mi minrâk hah lei riet ngêt nin tih zoi.
I (assume that/think that probably) someone has told you how God acted very kindly toward me, appointing me [so that I would proclaim the gospel to you non-Jews].
3 Pathien'n a lungdo inthup hah a phuonga, keima mi minriet tie hah. (Ma roi hih abongkikin ki mizieka,
God revealed to me the message that he had not revealed to others. When you read what I have already written briefly about that,
4 ma ki miziek hah nin porea anînchu Khrista chong inthup ki riet tie hah riet nin tih.)
you will be able to understand that I understand clearly that message about Christ.
5 Zora lei vunsaia han chu hi chong inthup hih miriemngei lei ril ni ngâi maka; nikhomrese, atûn chu Pathien'n a tîrton inthiengngei le a dêipu inthiengngei kôma Ratha Inthiengin a minlâr zoi.
Formerly, [God] did not reveal that message to anyone, but now his Spirit has revealed that message to (his holy apostles and prophets/people who tell messages that come directly from God).
6 Chong inthup chu mahih ani, Thurchisa sikin Judangei, Pathien satvur an changna han Jentailngei khom an changdelsa, takpum inkhata mi an nia, Jisua Khrista taka Pathien chonginkhâm ha munkhatin an chang thei ani.
That message, which he has now revealed, is that because of our [(inc)] relationship with Christ Jesus, [all of us], non-Jews as well as Jews [MTY], will receive the [great spiritual blessings that God has] promised as we all form one group [MET] [as a result of our believing] the good news [about Christ].
7 A sinthotheina ranak sintit jâra mi pêk, Pathien manboipêk satak han thurchisa tîrlâmin mi sin ani.
By God powerfully enabling me, and because God acted kindly toward me, doing what I did not deserve, and chose me [to do that work], I became someone who tells others this good message.
8 Keima hih Pathien mingei nâm lâia achîntak nêka achîn uol ki ni, hankhoma Pathien'n sintum satak mi pêk, Jentailngei kôma Khrista neina suisuok theiloi Thurchi Sa misîr rangin,
Although I am the least [worthy] of all God’s people, God kindly [appointed] me to proclaim to the non-Jews the message about the great spiritual blessings that [they can receive] from Christ,
9 male Pathien mintuo inthup kâmnânga om rangin mi nâm kôm min mu ranga sin ania. Pathien, neinunngei murdi sinpu han, kum leivunsai ngeia chong inthup inrûk a dara, (aiōn g165)
and to enable everyone to understand clearly how God accomplished what he planned. God, who created everything, [has now revealed] this message, which he never revealed to anyone before. (aiōn g165)
10 ma anghan atûnlâia hin, koiindang sikin, vântîrton roijêkpungei le invânrama sinthotheinangei le a vârna dadang ngei murdi an inchu theina rangin.
[What he planned] was that all (believers/people who belong to Christ) would be the ones who would reveal to all the ranks [DOU] of spiritual beings in heaven that what God had planned is wise in every way.
11 Kumtuonga alei mintuo dungjûiin Pathien'n ei Pumapa Jisua Khrista jârin thang a min suo zoi. (aiōn g165)
That is what God had always planned, and it is what he accomplished by what our Lord Jesus [has done]. (aiōn g165)
12 Khrista ei inzompuina sik le ama ei taksôn sikin hâitak le ngamtakin Pathien kôm ei se thei zoi ani.
Because of what he has done and because of our relationship with him, [when we pray] we can approach God confidently and without being afraid.
13 Masikin nangni sika intak ku tuongna sika hin nin jâminzal loina rangin nangni ki ngên ani, mangei hah nin satna rang inzie ani.
So I ask that you do not be discouraged because of my suffering many things for you [here in prison]. You should feel honored that I am [willing to] suffer [these things for your sake].
14 Hingei sika hin Pa makunga khûk kên bil ngâi,
Because [God has done all this for you], I kneel [and pray] [MTY] to [God our] Father.
15 Pa, invân le pilchunga insûngkuo murdi'n an riming diktak an manna hah.
He is the one who is [like] a father of all [the believers who are now in] heaven and those who are still on the earth.
16 Ama Ratha jâra nin sûngrîl tieng râtna nin man theina ranga a roiinpuina rochon renga sinthotheina nangni a pêk theina rangin Pathien kôm ko zong ngâi,
I pray that, using his unlimited resources, he will cause you to be strengthened by his Spirit {cause his Spirit to strengthen you} in your (inner beings/hearts) with all [God’s] power.
17 male, Khrista hah taksônna sika nin mulungrîla aom theina rang le lungkhamna han ruzung mathâka lungphûm nin nei thei rangin ku chubai sa ngâia,
That is, I pray that because of your trusting in Christ, his [Spirit] may live in your (inner beings/hearts) (OR, he may live in your hearts). And I pray that because you love [Christ] firmly and faithfully/continually [MET], you,
18 masikin, nangni, Pathien mingei nâm lehan Khrista lungkhamna inzar tie ngei, asei tie ngei, ânsâng le ânthûk tie ngei riettheina ratha nin dôn theina rangin.
along with all other believers, may be able to know how very [DOU] much Christ loves [us(inc)].
19 Nangni minriet mikhip riei thei nino khomrese, a lungkhamna hah riet thei ungla Pathien nina atakin sipmat roi.
I want you to experience how very deeply he loves us, even though it is not possible for us to understand fully [how much he loves us]. And I pray that God will enable you to be filled with {have a full measure of} all the [qualities of his character that] he himself has.
20 A kôma a sinthotheina ranak einia a sintitpu han, ei zong phâkloi le ei mindon phâkloi a tho theia:
[God] is able to do much (greater things/more) than we could ask him to do, or even that we might think that he can do, by his power that is working within us.
