Efesofoɔ 3
1 Me Paulo, mo amanamanmufoɔ enti, Kristo Yesu de me yɛɛ deduani.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Nokorɛm, moate Onyankopɔn adom a ɔnam me so de ma mo no ho asɛm,
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
3 a ɛno ne ahintasɛm a wɔnam adiyie so de ama sɛdeɛ matwerɛ no tiawa dada no.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Na sɛ mokenkan yei a, ɛnneɛ mobɛte nhunumu a me wɔ wɔ Kristo ahintasɛm ho no ase,
by which, when you read, you can perceive 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 people, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in 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 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 Onyankopɔn adom akyɛdeɛ a ɔnam ne tumi no adwumayɛ so de ama me no enti, me yɛɛ asɛmpa no ho ɔsomfoɔ.
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 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 very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews 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 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 Nʼatirimpɔ ne sɛ afei ɔnam asɔre no so bɛda ne nyansa a emu dɔ no adi akyerɛ ewiem mpaninnie ne atumfoɔ,
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 Afei Kristo ma yɛn akokoɔduru ne ahotosoɔ a ɛma yɛnya gyidie ba Onyankopɔn anim.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in 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 not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Yei enti, mebu nkotodwe wɔ Agya no anim,
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 ɔno na ne din da nʼabusua a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase nyinaa so.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Mebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔmfiri nʼanimuonyam ahonya no mu mfa ne Honhom a ɛte mo mu no so nhyɛ mo den,
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 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 through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 mo ne ahotefoɔ nyinaa bɛnya tumi, na moate Kristo dɔ no trɛ, ne tentene, ne korɔn ne emu dɔ no ase,
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 na moahunu saa ɔdɔ a ɛtra adwene nyinaa so no, na Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo ma.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness 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.
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,
