Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Pòl ki nan prizon poutèt Kris la pou byen nou, nou menm ki pa jwif, m'ap lapriyè pou nou devan Bondye.
2 since indeed ye heard of the administration of the grace of God, which was given to me for you,
Mwen kwè nou konnen deja ki jan Bondye, nan bon kè l', te ban m' travay sa a pou m' te fè pou nou.
3 that according to revelation he made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.
Bondye devwale m' sekrè travay li a, pou m' te ka konnen plan li te gen sere nan kè li. Se sou plan sa a mwen deja ekri nou kèk mo pi wo a.
4 With which reading ye can recognize my understanding in the mystery of the Christ,
Lè n'a li yo, n'a kapab gen yon lide ki jan mwen konprann sekrè Kris la.
5 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets.
Nan tan lontan Bondye pa t' devwale plan travay sa a bay ankenn moun sou latè, men koulye a, ak pouvwa Sentespri a, li devwale l' bay moun li mete apa pou sèvi l' apòt ak pwofèt.
6 For Gentiles to be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and fellow partakers of his promise in the Christ through the good news.
Men sekrè a: Nan Jezikri, ak pouvwa bon nouvèl la, moun ki pa jwif yo gen pou resevwa ansanm ak jwif yo pòsyon pa yo nan byen Bondye a. Yo se manm yon menm kò ansanm ak jwif yo, y'ap jwenn pa yo ansanm ak yo tou nan menm pwomès Bondye te fè a.
7 Of which I became a helper according to the gift of that grace of God, which was given to me according to the working of his power.
Kifè m'ap sèvi bon nouvèl sa a, se paske Bondye nan bon kè l' fè m' yon favè, li fè pouvwa li travay nan mwen.
8 To me, a man less than the least of all the sanctified, this grace was given to preach good news among the Gentiles, the unsearchable wealth of Christ,
Mwen pi pitit pase moun ki pi pitit nan tout pèp Bondye a. Men atousa, se mwen menm Bondye bay privilèj sa a, pou m' fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen bon nouvèl richès Kris la, richès moun p'ap janm fin konprann.
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. (aiōn g165)
Li ban m' privilèj sa a pou m' fè tout moun wè aklè ki jan plan travay Bondye te sere nan kè li a ap reyalize, paske Bondye ki kreye tout bagay te kenbe plan sa a nan kè l' depi lontan. (aiōn g165)
10 So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church,
Men koulye a, avèk legliz la, tout chèf ak tout otorite ki nan syèl la pral rive konnen bon konprann Bondye a sou tout fòm li yo.
Bondye aji konsa dapre plan ki te la depi lontan an. Se plan sa a li reyalize nan Jezikri, Seyè nou an. (aiōn g165)
12 in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through his faith.
Ak lavi n'ap mennen ansanm nan Kris la, gremesi konfyans nou gen nan li a, nou lib pou nou pwoche devan Bondye san kè sote.
13 Therefore I ask that ye not become discouraged at my tribulations on your behalf, which is your glory.
Se sak fè, mwen mande nou pou nou pa dekouraje poutèt soufrans m'ap sibi pou nou yo, paske se yon bèl avantaj sa ye pou nou.
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Wi, se poutèt sa, mwen tonbe ajenou devan Papa a,
15 from whom every patriarchy in heavens and on earth is named.
ki bay tout fanmi ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a non yo.
16 So that he would grant you, according to the wealth of his glory, to be strengthened with power through his Spirit for the inner man,
M'ap mande Bondye pou li ban nou, dapre richès pouvwa li a, fòs ak kouraj nan kè nou, pa mwayen pouvwa Sentespri a, pou nou ka grandi nan karaktè nou,
17 for the Christ to dwell in your hearts through faith,
pou Kris la rete nan kè nou ak konfyans nou gen nan li a. M'ap mande Bondye pou nou pouse rasin, pou nou chita byen fèm nan renmen,
18 having been rooted and grounded in love, so that ye may be able to grasp with all the sanctified what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
pou nou ka konprann, ansanm ak tout pèp Bondye a, jan renmen Kris la laj, jan li long, jan li fon, jan li wo.
19 and to become aware of the love of the Christ, which transcends knowledge, so that ye may be filled in all the fullness of God.
Wi, mwen mande pou nou rive konnen kalite renmen Kris la gen pou nou, atout pesonn p'ap janm ka rive konnen l' nèt. Konsa, n'a vin plen nèt ak tou sa ki nan Bondye.
20 Now to him who is able to do above extraordinary-above all things that we ask or think-according to the power that works in us,
Tout lwanj lan se pou Bondye. Paske, ak pouvwa k'ap travay nan nou an, li kapab fè pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mande, pi plis pase tou sa nou ka mete nan lide nou.
