Baefesia 3
1 Nna Paulo, motlhanka wa ga Keresete, ke fano mo kgolegelong ka ntlha ya lona, ka go rera gore le lona Badichaba lo bontlha bongwe jwa ntlo ya Modimo.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Ga go belaesege lo setse lo itse gore Modimo o nneetse tiro e e faphegileng e ya go supa kutlwelo botlhoko mo go lona Badichaba, jaaka ke buile pele ka bokhutshwane mo lokwalong longwe lwa dikwalo tsa me. Modimo ka sebele o nkaetse leano le la one la bosaitsiweng la gore Badichaba le bone ba balelwa mo bopelonoming jwa one.
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Ke bua jaana go lo tlhalosetsa ka fa ke itseng dilo tse ka teng.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Mo metlheng ya bogologolo Modimo ga o ise o ke o tlhakanele leano le, le batho ba one, mme jaanong o le senoletse baaposetoloi le baporofiti ba one ka Mowa O O Boitshepo.
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 Mme bosaitsiweng ke jo: gore Badichaba ba tlaa nna le seabe se se lekanang le sa Bajuta mo dikhumong tsotlhe tse di ruilweng ke barwa-Modimo; botlhe ba lalediwa go nna ba phuthego ya one, mme gotlhe ga ditsholofetso tsa Modimo tsa matlhogonolo a magolo ka Keresete ke ga bone botlhe fa ba amogela Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Keresete le se a se ba diretseng.
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 Modimo o nneetse tshwanelo e e hakgamatsang e ya go bolelela mongwe le mongwe leano le la one; gape o nneetse nonofo ya one le botlhale jo bo faphegileng go le tlhalosa ka fa tshwanelong.
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 A lo ko lo akanyeng! Le fa ke sa dira sepe se se dirang gore ke le tshwanele, gape le fa nna ke le Mokeresete yo e seng wa sepe bogolo go botlhe, le fa go ntse jalo ke nna yo ke neng ka tlhophelwa tiro e, e e itumedisang, e e faphegileng ya go bolelela Badichaba Mafoko a Boitumelo a mahumo a a sa feleng a ba ka a bonang ka Keresete;
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 le go tlhalosetsa mongwe le mongwe gore Modimo ke Mmoloki le wa Badichaba, fela jaaka ene yo o dirileng dilo tsotlhe a ne a rulaganya mo sephiring go tswa tshimologong. (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 Mme tota maikaelelo a one e ne e le eng? E ne e le go supegetsa batshwara-marapo botlhe ba legodimo ka fa Modimo o leng botlhale ka teng fa botlhe ba lolwapa lwa One, Bajuta le Badichaba, ka go tshwana, ba lomagantswe mmogo mo phuthegong ya one,
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,
according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn g165)
12 Jaanong re ka tla mo Modinong kwa ntle ga poifo, re tlhomamisa kamogelo ya one e e tletseng boitumelo fa re tla ka Keresete ebile re mo ikanya.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Ke gone tswee-tswee se lapisiweng dipelo ke se ba se ntirang kwano. Ke bogela lona mme lo tshwa-netse go ikutlwa e le tlotlo mo go lona lwa ba lwa tsenya marapo dinameng.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Fa ke akanya kaga botlhale le megopolo ya leano la one ke khubama ka mangole ke rapela Rara wa ba ntlo e kgolo yotlhe ya Modimo, bangwe ba bone ba setse ba le kwa legodimong mme ba bangwe ba fano mo lefatsheng,
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 gore mo dikhumong tsa one tse di galalelang tse di senang selekanyo, o tlaa lo naya nonofo e kgolo e e ka fa teng ka Mowa wa One O O Boitshepo.
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 Mme ke rapela gore Keresete a nne ka kgololesego mo dipelong tsa lona, a nna mo go lona jaaka lo mo ikanya. A medi ya lona e tsenelele kwa teng mo loratong lwa Modimo lo lo hakgamatsang;
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 gape lo bo lo kgone go ikutlwela le go tlhaloganya, bana ba Modimo botlhe ba tshwanetse, kana lorato lwa gagwe lo boleele bo kae, lo bophara bo kae, lo boteng bo le kae, le gone lo kwa godimo jang; mme gore lo itemogele lorato lo ka bo lona, le fa lo le bogolo go le kalo mo lo ka sekeng lwa bona bofelelo ja lone kgotsa go tlhaloganya ka botlalo. Mme kwa bokhutlong lo tlaa tladiwa ka Modimo ka sebele.
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Jaanong a kgalalelo e nne go Modimo o ka nonofo ya one e kgolo e e dirang mo go rona, o kgonang go dira go le gotona go na le jaaka re ne re ka kopa kgotsa le go akanya ka ga gone go feta dithapelo tsa rona tse dikgolo thata mo go senang selekanyo, dikeletso tse di molemo, dikakanyo, kgotsa ditsholofelo.
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,
