Ephisa 3
1 Te dongah kai Paul tah nangmih namtom rhoek ham Jesuh Khrih kah thongtla ka om.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Nangmih ham Pathen kah lungvatnah dongkah hnokhoemnah he kai m'paek te na yaak uh mak atah.
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 Atoi la ka daek noek vanbangla tekah olhuep tah pumphoenah neh kai taengah phoe coeng.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 Te cadaek bangla tae rhangneh Khrih kah olhuep soah kai kah yakmingnah te na yakming uh thai.
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 Te tah Mueihla lamloh a caeltueih rhoek neh tonghma hlangcim taengah a pumphoe coeng bangla hlang ca rhoek taengah rhuirhong a tloe lam khaw ana phoe moenih.
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 Olthangthen lamloh namtom khaw Khrih Jesuh dongah olkhueh te pumkhat la cut hmaih tih rho aka pang hamla om coeng.
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 A thaomnah kah bibi vanbangla Pathen kah lungvatnah kutdoe te kai m'paek coeng dongah te olthangthen kah tueihyoeih la ka om.
of which I became a servant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;
8 Hlangcim rhoek boeih khuiah a yit cadih koek kai taengah he lungvatnah he m'paek coeng. Khrih kah a khuehtawn toeklek toekna mueh te namtom rhoek taengah aka thui ham ni.
to me—the less than the least of all the holy ones—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,
9 Cungkuem aka suen Pathen dongah yan lamkah a thuh olhuep kah hnokhoemnah te hlang boeih tueng ham ni. (aiōn g165)
and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that has been hid from the ages in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ, (aiōn g165)
10 Te daengah ni Pathen kah cueihnah a comluem te hlangboel lamloh vaan kah boeilu rhoek neh saithainah dongah a phoe eh.
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 Amah dongah sayalhnah n'dang uh tih amah kah tangnah lamloh pangtungnah neh kunnah n'danguh.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Te dongah nangmih ham kai kah phacip phabaem dongah thathae pawt ham kan hloep. Te tah nangmih kah thangpomnah ni.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 He dongah ni a pa taengah ka khuklu ka cungkueng.
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Amah lamloh vaan neh diklai hman kah nurhui parhui boeih a khue.
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 Te daengah ni amah kah mueihla lamloh hlang ko khuiah rhaang sak ham a thaomnah dongkah thangpomnah khuehtawn te a tarhing la nangmih m'paek eh.
that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened through His Spirit with might, in regard to the inner man,
17 Tangnah lamloh nangmih thinko ah Khrih loh kho a sak. Lungnah dongah m'pael tih n'sut.
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 Te daengah ni hlagcim boeih taengkah lungnah a daang neh a yun, a sang neh a dung te tuuk ham na noeng uh eh.
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 Mingnah aka baetawt Khrih kah lungnah khaw ming ham om. Te daengah ni Pathen kah a soepnah te a cungkuem la na cung uh eh.
to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that you may be filled—to all the fullness of God;
20 Amah tah a puehdaih la a saii ham boeih coeng thai hlai coeng. M'bih neh n'yakming te mamih ah thaomnah la tueng.
and to Him who is able to do exceedingly [and] abundantly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,
