< Ephesians 3 >
1 Nítorí èyí náà ni èmi Paulu ṣe di òǹdè Jesu Kristi nítorí ẹ̀yin aláìkọlà.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Lóòtítọ́ ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ ti gbọ́ ti iṣẹ́ ìríjú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, tí a fi fún mi fún yín;
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
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.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá kà á, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin o fi lè mọ òye mi nínú ìjìnlẹ̀ Kristi.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery 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 generations was not made known to people, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;
6 pé, àwọn aláìkọlà jẹ́ àjùmọ̀jogún àti ẹ̀yà ara kan náà, àti alábápín ìlérí nínú Kristi Jesu nípa ìyìnrere.
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 Ìránṣẹ́ èyí tí a fi mi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí a fi fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀.
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 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;
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable 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 )
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 )
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 now through the church the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places,
11 gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpinnu ayérayé tí ó ti pinnu nínú Kristi Jesu Olúwa wa. (aiōn )
according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn )
12 Nínú ẹni tí àwa ní ìgboyà, àti ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nípa ìgbàgbọ́ wa nínú rẹ̀.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our 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.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, 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 bow my knees before the Father,
15 Orúkọ ẹni tí a fi ń pe gbogbo ìdílé tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Kí òun kí ó lè fi agbára rẹ̀ fún ẹni inú yín ní okun, nípasẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
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 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 hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
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.
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 Àti láti mọ̀ ìfẹ́ Kristi yìí tí ó ta ìmọ̀ yọ, kí a lè fi gbogbo ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ Ọlọ́run kún yín.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness 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.
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,
21 Òun ni kí a máa fi ògo fún nínú ìjọ àti nínú Kristi Jesu láti ìrandíran gbogbo àní, ayé àìnípẹ̀kun, Àmín. (aiōn )
to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
