Ephesians 3
1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles –
Huu Lamatualain nda pili-tadꞌa atahori Yahudi ro atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, naa de Ana denu au, Paulus, ꞌuu dui-bꞌengga Yesus Kristus Hara-lii Malolen neu hei atahori nda Yahudi ra sa sia kota Efesus. Au ulalao ue-tatao ngga naa, losa au dadꞌi uu atahori bꞌui ena.
2 For you have heard, I suppose, of the responsible charge with which God entrusted me for your benefit,
Tantu hei o bubꞌuluꞌ mae, Lamatulain denu au, huu nae natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggi.
3 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.
Memaꞌ maꞌahulun a Lamatualain nda feꞌe nafadꞌe atahori, soꞌal saa fo Ana naꞌetuꞌ fee atahori nda Yahudi ra sa. Te ia na nafadꞌe dalaꞌ ia neu au ena. De ia ra, au sura eꞌekuꞌ fee neu hei ena.
4 And, by reading what I have written, you will be able to judge how far I understand this hidden purpose of God in Christ.
Mete ma hei baca basa, hei o bisa mihine Lamatualain dudꞌuꞌan soꞌal Yesus Kristus, fo Ana natudꞌu neu au ena.
5 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 –
Te dꞌalahulun, atahori nda feꞌe rahine Eni dudꞌuꞌan sa. Te ia na, Ana pake Dula-dalen fo nafadꞌe dudꞌuꞌan neu mana ola-ola nara, ma dedꞌenu nara.
6 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.
Te mia dꞌalahulun, Lamatualain naꞌetuꞌ basa taꞌo ia: mete ma atahori nda Yahudi ra sa ramahere Yesus Kristus Hara-lii Malolen, ara o bisa masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ ana nara, onaꞌ atahori Yahudi ra boe. Naa de, ia na hita dadꞌi bobꞌonggiꞌ sa ena, ma ata bisa simbo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mia hita Aman Lamatualain.
7 Of this good news I become an assistant, in virtue of the charge with which God entrusted me in the exercise of his power –
Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen ma pili au dadꞌi dedꞌenun. Ma Ana o fee koasan neu au, fo ulalao Eni ue-tataon naa.
8 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,
Mia basa Lamatuaꞌ atahori nara, au ia atahori anadikiꞌ lenaꞌ. Onaꞌ naa o, Lamatuaꞌ pili au fo ulalao Eni ue-tataon manaseliꞌ na. Ana nau fo au ufadꞌe atahori nda Yahudi ra sa, soꞌal Kristus rala malolen, nda mana etuꞌ ma basa sa.
9 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)
Te, eniꞌ a Lamatuaꞌ naꞌadꞌadꞌadiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia, Eni dudꞌuꞌan nae denu Kristus nema, feꞌe maꞌafuniꞌ. Te, ia na, Ana nau fo au uu fee basa atahori bubꞌuluꞌ dudꞌuꞌan naa. (aiōn g165)
10 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,
Te dudꞌuꞌan naa, mahinen seli. Ma Ana nae pake atahori nara fo reu ratudꞌu mahinen naa, neu basa koasa ma parendaꞌ mana sia lalai ra.
11 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)
Leleꞌ Ana nda feꞌe naꞌadꞌadꞌadiꞌ raefafoꞌ ia sa, Ana naꞌetuꞌ basa nae soi dalaꞌ fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori. Naa de, Ana denu hita Lamatuan Yesus Kristus, fo tao tungga taꞌo naa. (aiōn g165)
12 And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.
Huu naa, hita mana tamahere neu Yesus Kristus, afiꞌ tamatau tema ola-olaꞌ to Lamatuaꞌ. Huu, Ana nau simbo hita, sudꞌiꞌ a faiꞌ bee.
13 Therefore I beg you not to be disheartened at the sufferings that I am undergoing for your sakes; for they redound to your honour.
Misinedꞌa, e! Au doidꞌoso huu mete-seꞌu hei, atahori nda Yahudi ra sa. Onaꞌ naa o, rala mara afiꞌ raꞌana. Huu au lemba doidꞌosoꞌ ia, naa fo hei simbo mala malolen.
14 For this reason, then, I kneel before the Father –
Leleꞌ au duꞌa ala Amaꞌ Lamatualain rala malolen manaselin naa, ma au sendeꞌ lululangga ngga hule-oꞌe oꞌe makasi neu E.
15 from whom all “fatherhood” in heaven and on earth derives its name –
Huu basa bobꞌonggiꞌ mana sia raefafoꞌ ma sorga Aman, naeni, Eni.
16 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,
Au hule-oꞌe fo Ana fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ naeꞌ neu nggi tungga rala malole manaselin. Au o oꞌe fo Ana fee Dula-dꞌalen, ma koasa, fo rala mara boe manggatee.
17 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,
Au oꞌe fo Yesus Kristus leo sia rala mara, huu mimihere mikindoo neu E. Au o hule-oꞌe fo hei misodꞌa miꞌibꞌue mo susuen, onaꞌ hau huuꞌ mana mori mahereꞌ, huu okan nandoro rae rala neu romaꞌ.
18 have the power to comprehend in all its width and length and height and depth,
Au o hule-oꞌe, fo hei mo basa Lamatuaꞌ atahori nara, bisa mihine Kristus susuen fo atahori nda uku rala e sa. Huu susueꞌ naa, monaen seli, loan seli, roman seli, ma naen seli! Au hule-oꞌe fo hei o medꞌa Eni susuen, losa susueꞌ naa nasofe ralam ma masodꞌa mara.
19 and to understand – though it surpasses all understanding – the love of the Christ; and so be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 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 –
Lamatualain koasan manaseliꞌ, lenaꞌ basa saa fo hita bisa toꞌeꞌ, ma mia saa fo hita bisa dꞌuꞌaꞌ a. Ma Ana ue-tao sia hita ralan nendiꞌ koasa manaselin.
