Ndị Efesọs 3
1 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka mụ onwe m bụ Pọl bụ onye mkpọrọ nke Jisọs Kraịst maka unu ndị mba ọzọ.
For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you the non-Jews,
2 Nʼihi nʼezie, unu anụla banyere nlekọta nke amara Chineke ahụ nke e nyere m maka ọdịmma unu.
if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;
3 Otu e si kpughee nzube nzuzo ya niile nye m, dị ka m gwara unu ihe banyere ya nʼokwu dị nta nʼakwụkwọ ozi ahụ m detara unu.
how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4 Ọ bụrụkwa na unu agụọ akwụkwọ ahụ m deere, unu ga-aghọta ihe m maara banyere ihe omimi Kraịst.
by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;
5 Nke a e meghị ka ụmụ mmadụ mara nʼọgbọ gara aga dị ka Mmụọ Nsọ siri kpugheere ya ndị ozi na ndị amụma ya dị nsọ ugbu a.
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 Otu a ka ndị mba ọzọ si soro bụrụ ndị nketa, ndị ga-abụ otu anụ ahụ na ndị ga-eketa nkwa ahụ nʼime Jisọs Kraịst site nʼoziọma.
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 E mere m ka m bụrụ onyeozi nke oziọma a, dịka onyinye amara nke Chineke si dị, bụ nke e nyere m site nʼịrụ ọrụ nke ike ya.
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 Ọ bụ ezie na mụ bụ onye dịkarịsịrị nta nʼetiti ndị nsọ niile, e nyere m amara nke a, ikwusara ndị mba ọzọ oziọma banyere akụ nke enweghị atụ nke juru nʼime Kraịst,
To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to proclaim to the non-Jews the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9 meekwa ka mmadụ niile hụ ihe bụ atụmatụ nke ihe omimi e zoro nʼime Chineke onye kere ihe niile, ọtụtụ afọ. (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 Ka ọ ga-abụ site na chọọchị, a ga-eme ka amamihe Chineke nʼụdị dị iche iche bụrụ ihe ọchịchị na ikike niile dị nʼeluigwe ga-amata.
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 Nke a bụ nʼusoro nke atụmatụ ya dị ebighị ebi, nke e mezuru nʼime Jisọs Kraịst Onyenwe anyị, (aiōn g165)
according to the purpose of the ages which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord; (aiōn g165)
12 bụ onye anyị nwere ntụkwasị obi na obi siri ike ịbịakwute site nʼokwukwe anyị nwere na ya.
in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13 Nʼihi nke a, arịọ m ka unu ghara ịda mba maka mkpagbu m nʼihi unu, ha bụ otuto nye unu.
Therefore I ask that you not be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which is your glory.
14 Ọ bụ nʼihi nke a ka m na-egbu ikpere m nʼala nʼihu Nna anyị,
For this cause, I bow my knees before the Father,
15 onye ezinaụlọ niile dị nʼụwa a na nke dị nʼeluigwe na-esite nʼaka ya enwe aha.
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16 Ekpere m bụ ka o site nʼịba ụba nke otuto ya, nye unu ike na-esite na Mmụọ ya, mee ka unu dị ike nʼime mmụọ unu;
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 ka Kraịst nwee ike biri nʼobi unu site nʼokwukwe, ka unu ndị gbanyere mgbọrọgwụ guzosiekwa ike nʼịhụnanya.
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 Ana m arịọkwa, ka unu na ndị nsọ niile nwee ike ịghọta ihe bụ obosara, ogologo, ịdị elu na ịdị omimi,
may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 na ịmatakwa ịhụnanya nke Kraịst nke karịrị amamihe, ka unu jupụtakwa nʼizuoke niile nke Chineke.
and to know Christ's love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Ugbu a, nye onye ahụ pụrụ imebiga ihe nʼoke karịa ihe niile nke anyị rịọrọ, maọbụ karịa ka anyị pụrụ ichepụta nʼuche anyị, site nʼike ya nke na-arụ ọrụ nʼime anyị,
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,
