Efesofoɔ 3
1 Me Paulo, mo amanamanmufoɔ enti, Kristo Yesu de me yɛɛ deduani.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Nokorɛm, moate Onyankopɔn adom a ɔnam me so de ma mo no ho asɛm,
if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 a ɛno ne ahintasɛm a wɔnam adiyie so de ama sɛdeɛ matwerɛ no tiawa dada no.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according 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,
in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the 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 was now 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 nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, 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 became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to 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 less than the least of all the saints — was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news — the untraceable riches of the 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 cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 Nʼatirimpɔ ne sɛ afei ɔnam asɔre no so bɛda ne nyansa a emu dɔ no adi akyerɛ ewiem mpaninnie ne atumfoɔ,
that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,
according to a 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 the freedom and the access in 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.
wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Yei enti, mebu nkotodwe wɔ Agya no anim,
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 ɔno na ne din da nʼabusua a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ne asase nyinaa so.
of whom the whole family in the heavens 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 may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to 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 the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,
18 mo ne ahotefoɔ nyinaa bɛnya tumi, na moate Kristo dɔ no trɛ, ne tentene, ne korɔn ne emu dɔ no ase,
that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the 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.
to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled — to 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 above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
