Efesa 3
1 Cedawngawh kai Paul, nangmih Gentelkhqi ak camawh Jesu Khrih awh thawng ak tla, ing –
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles –
2 nangmih aham kai a venawh peek na ak awm Khawsa am qeennaak bibi ka taak ce za hawh uhyk ti;
For you have heard, I suppose, of the responsible charge with which God entrusted me for your benefit,
3 cemyihna awihyp ce ak tawi cana ka qee law hawh amyihna kai a venawh awiphawngnaak ing ni sim sak hy.
and also that it was by direct revelation that the hidden purpose of God was made known to me, as I have already briefly told you.
4 Ce ak awi ce nami noet awh, Khrih ak awihyp ka huhnaak akawng ce zasim thai kawm uk ti,
And, by reading what I have written, you will be able to judge how far I understand this hidden purpose of God in Christ.
5 cawhkaw awihyp ce tuh Myihla ing Khawsa a ceityih ciimkhqi ingkaw tawnghakhqi venawh ang dang sak amyihna ak chang cadil khqi anglaklung awh simsak na am awm hy.
In former generations it was not made known to humanity, as fully as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to the apostles and prophets among Christ’s people –
6 Cetaw veni, Awithang leek ak caming Jesu Khrih-awh Gentelkhqi qo a pangpyikhqi, pumsa a ke a baipyikhqi, awikam dopyikhqi na awm uhy.
That, by union with Christ Jesus and through the good news, the Gentiles are coheirs with us and members of one body, and that they share with us in God’s Promise.
7 Amah a saithainaak bibinaak ak caming ka venawh peek na ak awm Khawsam qeennaak awh kai taw ve awithang leek a tamnaa na awm nyng.
Of this good news I become an assistant, in virtue of the charge with which God entrusted me in the exercise of his power –
8 Khawsak thlangkhqi boeih ak khuiawh ak zawi soeihkhqi anglakawh zawi khqoet hlai nyng vawhkaw am qeennaak ve ka venawh ni pehy: Gentelkhqi venawh am sui thai noengna ak awm Khrih a boeinaak ce kqawn peek aham ingkaw,
Yes, to me, who am less than the least of all Christ’s people, was this charge entrusted! – to tell the Gentiles the good news of the boundless wealth to be found in the Christ,
9 maa awh, ik-oeih boeih ak synkung Khawsa awh thuh na ak awm, ve awihyp a bibinaak ve thlang boeih a venawh sim sak aham ni. (aiōn g165)
and to make clear what is God’s way of working out that hidden purpose which from the first has been concealed in the mind of the Creator of all things; (aiōn g165)
10 Anih angcainaak taw, thlangboel ak caming, Khawsa a cyihnaak ak dung soeih ce khawk khan hun awhkaw ukkungkhqi ingkaw saithainaak ak takhqi venawh simsak aham ni,
so that now to the archangels and to all the powers on high should be made known, through the church, the all-embracing wisdom of God,
in accordance with that purpose which runs through all the ages and which he has now accomplished in Jesus, the Christ, our Master. (aiōn g165)
12 Amah awh cangnaak ak caming ngaihdingnaak ingkaw ypnaak taak doena Khawsa venawh ni zoe thai hawh uhy.
And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.
13 Cedawngawh, nangmih boeimangnaak aham kai ing ka khuikhanaak awh ve namik tha koeh set sak uh.
Therefore I beg you not to be disheartened at the sufferings that I am undergoing for your sakes; for they redound to your honour.
14 Ve ak camawh Pa a haiawh khuk sym ing koep nyng,
For this reason, then, I kneel before the Father –
15 anih a venawh kawng khawk khan ingkaw khawmdek awh ak awm a cakaw khqi ing a mimah ang ming ce hu uhy.
from whom all “fatherhood” in heaven and on earth derives its name –
16 A boeimangnaak ingkaw ang Myihlaa ak caming nangmih ak kawlung khuiawh thaawmnaak ani peeknaak khqi thai aham cykcah lah uh,
and pray that, in proportion to the wealth of his glory, he will strengthen you with his power by breathing his Spirit into your inmost soul,
17 nangmih ak kawlung khuiawh cangnaak ak caming Khrih a awm thainaak aham. Lungnaak awh namik kqa thla unawh nami caknaak aham cykcah nyng.
so that the Christ, through your faith, may make his home within your hearts in love; and I pray that you, now firmly rooted and established, may, with all Christ’s people,
18 Thlakcimkhqi mi kutoetna a kaunaak, a saunaak, a saangnaak ingkaw a dungnaak khqi ce simcaihthainaak ingkaw,
have the power to comprehend in all its width and length and height and depth,
19 Khrih a lungnaak am sim noeng simthainaak ce ta thai kawm uk ti.
and to understand – though it surpasses all understanding – the love of the Christ; and so be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Cawhce, ningnih awh ak bi themsaithainaak amyihna, ni thoehnaak ingkaw nik poeknaak boeih anglakawh ak saang soeihna them ak saithaikung venawh,
To him who, through his power which is at work within us, is able to do far more than anything that we can ask or conceive –
