1 Me Paulo, mo amanamanmufo nti Kristo Yesu de me yɛɛ odeduani.
For this cause, I Paul am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 Nokware mu, moate Onyankopɔn adom a ɔnam me so de ma mo no ho asɛm,
If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 a ɛno ne ahintasɛm a wɔnam adiyi so de ama sɛnea makyerɛw no tiaa dedaw no.
That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,
4 Na sɛ mokenkan eyi a na mobɛte nhumu a mewɔ wɔ Kristo ahintasɛm ho no ase,
Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)
5 nea wɔanyi ankyerɛ awo ntoatoaso bi mu nnipa sɛnea nnɛ yi Honhom no ada no adi akyerɛ Onyankopɔn asomafo ne adiyifo akronkron no.
Which in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit,
6 Saa ahintasɛm yi kyerɛ sɛ amanamanmufo ne Israelfo bɔ mu yɛ adedifo. Wɔbɔ mu yɛ nipadua baako, na wɔwɔ kyɛfa wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɔhyɛ no mu.
That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel,
7 Onyankopɔn dom akyɛde a ɔnam ne tumi so yɛ adwuma wɔ yɛn mu nti, meyɛɛ asɛmpa no ho somfo.
Whereof I am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall working of his power.
8 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ me ne aketewa pa ara wɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo nyinaa mu, nanso Onyankopɔn yɛɛ me adom sɛ menkɔka Asɛmpa a ɛfa Kristo ahonya a emu nni hwehwɛbea no nkyerɛ amanamanmufo,
Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ,
9 na memma nnipa nyinaa nhu saa ahintasɛm yi dwumadi a wɔde asie wɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ade nyinaa mu wɔ mfe bebree a atwa mu no mu no. (aiōn g165)
And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 Nʼatirimpɔw ne sɛ afei ɔnam asɔre no so bɛda ne nyansa a emu dɔ no adi akyerɛ wim mpanyinni ne atumfo,
To the intent, that nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God,
According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord: (aiōn g165)
12 Afei Kristo ma yɛn akokoduru ne ahotoso a ɛma yenya gyidi ba Onyankopɔn anim.
By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him.
13 Mesrɛ mo, mommma mo aba mu mmu wɔ amane a mihu ma mo no ho. Ɛyɛ mo anuonyamhyɛ.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 Eyi nti mibu nkotodwe wɔ Agya no anim,
For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 ɔno na ne din da nʼabusua a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase nyinaa so no so.
(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)
16 Mebɔ mpae sɛ omfi nʼanuonyam ahonya no mu mfa ne Honhom a ɛte mo mu no so nhyɛ mo den,
That he might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man,
17 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Kristo bɛfa mo gyidi so abɛtena mo koma mu. Sɛ moagye ntin na moatim wɔ ɔdɔ mu no, mebɔ mpae sɛ
That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:
18 mo ne ahotefo nyinaa benya tumi, na moate Kristo dɔ no trɛw, ne tenten, ne korɔn ne emu dɔ no ase,
That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height:
19 na moahu saa ɔdɔ a ɛtra adwene nyinaa so no, na Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo ma.
And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God.
20 Anuonyam nka Onyankopɔn a ne tumi yɛ adwuma wɔ yɛn mu. Ɔnam saa tumi yi so yɛ nea yebisa anaa nea yesusuw ma ɛboro so.
Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs,
