Afisawa 3
1 Saboda haka, ni Bulus, na zama ɗan kurkuku na Kiristi Yesu saboda ku Al’ummai.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Na tabbata kun ji labarin hidimar alheri na musamman da Allah ya ba ni dominku.
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 Wannan wasiƙa za tă faɗa muku kaɗan game da yadda Allah ya bayyana mini shirinsa na asiri.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 A yayinda kuke karanta wannan, za ku gane abin da na sani game da wannan shirin Kiristi.
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 Ba a sanar da wannan asiri wa wani a sauran zamanai ba, amma a yanzu an bayyana shi ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ga manzanninsa da annabawansa.
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 Asirin nan kuwa shi ne cewa ta wurin bishara, Al’ummai sun zama waɗanda za su yi gādo tare da Isra’ila, sun zama gaɓoɓin jiki ɗaya, abokan tarayya kuma ga alkawaran nan a cikin Kiristi Yesu.
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 Na zama bawan wannan bishara ta wurin baiwar alherin Allah da aka yi mini ta wurin ikonsa da yake aiki a cikina.
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 Ko da yake ni ba kome ba ne a cikin dukan mutanen Ubangiji, aka ba ni wannan baiwa mai daraja don in faɗa wa Al’ummai cewa saboda Kiristi akwai albarkun da suka wuce gaban misali.
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 An zaɓe ni in bayyana wa dukan mutane shirin asirin nan wanda Allah, mahaliccin kome, ya ɓoye shekara da shekaru. (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 Nufinsa shi ne, yanzu, ta wurin ikkilisiya, a sanar da hikima iri dabam-dabam na Allah ga masu mulki, da masu iko a samaniya.
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,
11 Wannan shi ne madawwamin shirinsa, kuma an aikata shi ta wurin Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu. (aiōn g165)
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 A cikinsa, kuma ta wurin bangaskiya a cikinsa ne muke da ƙarfin halin zuwa kusa da Allah gabagadi.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Don haka, ina roƙonku kada ku fid da zuciya saboda abin da ake yi mini a nan. Ai, saboda ku ne nake shan wahalolin nan, wannan kuwa ɗaukakarku ce.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Saboda wannan ne nake a durƙushe a gaban Uba,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 wanda ya ba wa kowane iyali a sama da ƙasa suna.
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 Ina addu’a cewa daga yalwar ɗaukakarsa zai ƙarfafa ku da iko daga ciki ta wurin Ruhunsa.
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 Ina addu’a domin Kiristi yă zauna a cikin zukatanku ta wurin bangaskiya. Ina kuma addu’a saboda ku da kuka kahu sosai cikin ƙauna,
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 don ku sami iko, tare da dukan tsarkaka, ku fahimci fāɗi, tsawo, da kuma zurfin ƙaunar Kiristi take.
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 Ku kuma san wannan ƙauna wadda ta fi gaban sani, domin a cika ku da dukan cikar Allah.
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 Bari ɗaukaka ta tabbata a gare shi shi wanda yake da ikon yin aiki a cikinmu, yana kuma aikata abubuwa fiye da dukan abin da muke roƙo, ko muke tunani.
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,
