1 Nítorí èyí náà ni èmi Paulu ṣe di òǹdè Jesu Kristi nítorí ẹ̀yin aláìkọlà.
For this cause, I Paul am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 Lóòtítọ́ ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ ti gbọ́ ti iṣẹ́ ìríjú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, tí a fi fún mi fún yín;
If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde,
3 bí ó ti ṣe pé nípa ìfihàn ni ó ti fi ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ hàn fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti kọ ṣáájú ni ṣókí.
That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes,
4 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá kà á, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin o fi lè mọ òye mi nínú ìjìnlẹ̀ Kristi.
Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ)
5 Èyí tí a kò í tí ì fihàn àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn rí nínú ìran mìíràn gbogbo, bí a ti fi wọ́n hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn aposteli rẹ̀ mímọ́ àti àwọn wòlíì nípa Ẹ̀mí;
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 pé, àwọn aláìkọlà jẹ́ àjùmọ̀jogún àti ẹ̀yà ara kan náà, àti alábápín ìlérí nínú Kristi Jesu nípa ìyìnrere.
That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel,
7 Ìránṣẹ́ èyí tí a fi mi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí a fi fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀.
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 Fún èmi tí o kéré jùlọ nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ní a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ yìí fún, láti wàásù àwámárídìí ọ̀rọ̀ Kristi fún àwọn aláìkọlà;
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 àti láti mú kí gbogbo ènìyàn rí ohun tí iṣẹ́ ìríjú ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ náà jásí, èyí tí a ti fi pamọ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́ nínú Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó dá ohun gbogbo nípa Jesu Kristi. (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 Kí a bá à lè fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ onírúurú ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn ìjòyè àti àwọn alágbára nínú àwọn ọ̀run, nípasẹ̀ ìjọ,
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 Nínú ẹni tí àwa ní ìgboyà, àti ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nípa ìgbàgbọ́ wa nínú rẹ̀.
By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him.
13 Nítorí náà, mo bẹ̀ yín kí àárẹ̀ má ṣe mú yín ni gbogbo wàhálà mi nítorí yín, èyí tí ṣe ògo yín.
Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory.
14 Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń fi eékún mi kúnlẹ̀ fún Baba Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ,
15 Orúkọ ẹni tí a fi ń pe gbogbo ìdílé tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth)
16 Kí òun kí ó lè fi agbára rẹ̀ fún ẹni inú yín ní okun, nípasẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
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 Kí Kristi lè máa gbé inú ọkàn yín nípa ìgbàgbọ́; pé bí ẹ ti ń fi gbòǹgbò múlẹ̀ tí ẹ sì ń fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́;
That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith:
18 kí ẹ̀yin lè ní agbára láti mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ohun tí ìbú, àti gígùn, àti jíjìn, àti gíga ìfẹ́ Kristi jẹ́.
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 Àti láti mọ̀ ìfẹ́ Kristi yìí tí ó ta ìmọ̀ yọ, kí a lè fi gbogbo ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ Ọlọ́run kún yín.
And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God.
20 Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí o lè ṣe lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ju gbogbo èyí tí a ń béèrè tàbí tí a ń rò lọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú wa.
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,
