Efesofoɔ 3
1 Me Paulo, mo amanamanmufoɔ enti, Kristo Yesu de me yɛɛ deduani.
Therefore I Paul, the prisoner of Christ for the sake of you Gentiles,
2 Nokorɛm, moate Onyankopɔn adom a ɔnam me so de ma mo no ho asɛm,
if indeed you have heard the economy of the grace of God which is given to me unto you;
3 a ɛno ne ahintasɛm a wɔnam adiyie so de ama sɛdeɛ matwerɛ no tiawa dada no.
that according to revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I formerly wrote to you briefly,
4 Na sɛ mokenkan yei a, ɛnneɛ mobɛte nhunumu a me wɔ wɔ Kristo ahintasɛm ho no ase,
according to which you, reading, are able to know my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 deɛ wɔannyi ankyerɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ bi mu nnipa sɛdeɛ ɛnnɛ yi Honhom no ada no adi akyerɛ Onyankopɔn asomafoɔ ne adiyifoɔ kronkron no.
which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy apostles and prophets through the Spirit;
6 Saa ahintasɛm yi kyerɛ sɛ amanamanmufoɔ ne Israelfoɔ bom yɛ adedifoɔ, wɔbom yɛ onipadua baako, na wɔwɔ kyɛfa wɔ Kristo Yesu mu bɔhyɛ no mu.
that the Gentiles are to be fellow-heirs, and the same body, and partakers of the promise of Christ Jesus through the gospel,
7 Onyankopɔn adom akyɛdeɛ a ɔnam ne tumi no adwumayɛ so de ama me no enti, me yɛɛ asɛmpa no ho ɔsomfoɔ.
whose minister I became, according to the gift of the grace of God which was given unto me; according to the working of his power.
8 Ɛwom sɛ me ne aketewa pa ara wɔ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa mu, nanso Onyankopɔn yɛɛ me adom sɛ menkɔka Asɛmpa a ɛfa Kristo ahonya a emu nni hwehwɛbea no nkyerɛ amanamanmufoɔ,
To me, the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 na memma nnipa nyinaa nhunu saa ahintasɛm yi dwumadie a wɔde asie wɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ adeɛ nyinaa mu wɔ mfeɛ bebree a atwam no mu. (aiōn g165)
and to shine forth what is the economy of the mystery which has been hidden from the ages in God who created all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Nʼatirimpɔ ne sɛ afei ɔnam asɔre no so bɛda ne nyansa a emu dɔ no adi akyerɛ ewiem mpaninnie ne atumfoɔ,
in order that the manifold wisdom of God through the church, may now be made known to the governments and authorities in the heavenlies,
according to the purpose of the ages which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
12 Afei Kristo ma yɛn akokoɔduru ne ahotosoɔ a ɛma yɛnya gyidie ba Onyankopɔn anim.
In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through the faith of him.
13 Mesrɛ mo, mommma mo aba mu mmu wɔ amane a mehunu ma mo no ho. Ɛyɛ mo animuonyamhyɛ.
Therefore I ask that you faint not in my tribulations in your behalf, which is your glory.
14 Yei enti, mebu nkotodwe wɔ Agya no anim,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father,
15 ɔno na ne din da nʼabusua a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase nyinaa so.
of whom the whole family in heavens and upon earth is named,
16 Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔmfiri nʼanimuonyam ahonya no mu mfa ne Honhom a ɛte mo mu no so nhyɛ mo den,
in order that he may grant unto you, according to the riches of his glory, that you be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Kristo bɛfa mo gyidie so abɛtena mo akoma mu. Sɛ moagye nhini na moatim wɔ ɔdɔ mu no, mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ
that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
18 mo ne ahotefoɔ nyinaa bɛnya tumi, na moate Kristo dɔ no trɛ, ne tentene, ne korɔn ne emu dɔ no ase,
being rooted and grounded in divine love, in order that you may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
19 na moahunu saa ɔdɔ a ɛtra adwene nyinaa so no, na Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo ma.
and to know the divine love of Christ which transcends knowledge, in order that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn a ne tumi yɛ adwuma wɔ yɛn mu. Ɔnam saa tumi yi so yɛ deɛ yɛbisa anaa deɛ yɛsusu ma ɛboro so.
And to him who is able to do exceedingly above all things which we ask or think, according to the power working in us,
