Efeso 3
1 Gapu iti daytoy, siak, ni Pablo, ti balud ni Cristo Jesus para kadakayo a Hentil.
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus, the Christ, for the sake of you Gentiles –
2 Ipagarupko a nangngegyon ti trabaho iti parabur ti Dios nga intedna kaniak para kadakayo,
For you have heard, I suppose, of the responsible charge with which God entrusted me for your benefit,
3 Agsursuratak segun iti paltiing a naipakaammo kaniak. Daytoy ti palimed a kinapudno nga insuratko iti ababa iti sabali a surat.
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 No basaenyo iti maipanggep iti daytoy, maawatanyonto ti kapanunotak iti daytoy a palimed a kinapudno maipapan kenni Cristo.
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 Iti sabali a henerasion, saan a naipakaammo daytoy a kinapudno kadagiti annak dagiti lallaki. Ngem ita, imparangarangen daytoy iti Espiritu kadagiti nailasin nga apostol ken profetana.
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 Daytoy a palimed a kinapudno ket dagiti Hentil ket kaduatayo nga agtawid ken kaduatayo a kamkameng iti bagi. Kakaduatayo ida nga agbibingay iti kari ni Cristo Jesus babaen iti ebanghelio.
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 Para iti daytoy a nagbalinak nga adipen babaen iti sagut iti parabur ti Dios a naited kaniak babaen iti panagtrabtrabaho ti pannakabalina.
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 Inted ti Dios daytoy a sagut kaniak, uray no siak ti kabassitan kadagiti nailasin para iti Dios. Daytoy a sagut ket masapul nga iwaragawagko kadagiti Hentil ti ebanghelio ti awan patinggana a kinabaknang ni Cristo.
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 Masapul a lawlawagak dagiti amin a tattao maipapan iti palimed a panggep ti Dios. Daytoy ti panggep a naidulin iti nabayag a panawen iti naglabas babaen iti Dios, a nangparsua kadagiti amin a banbanag. (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 Napasamak daytoy tapno, babaen iti iglesia, dagiti mangiturturay ken addaan turay idiay nainlangitan a luglugar ket maamoanda ti adu a pannakaiparang ti kinasirib ti Dios.
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,
11 Mapasamakto daytoy segun iti agnanayon a panggep nga inleppasna kenni Cristo-Jesus nga Apotayo. (aiōn g165)
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 Ta kenni Cristo, addaantayo iti tured ken dalan nga addaan ti talged gapu iti pammatitayo kenkuana.
And in union with him, and through our trust in him, we find courage to approach God with confidence.
13 Ngarud dawatek kadakayo a saankayo a maupay gapu kadagiti sagsagabaek para kadakayo. Dagitoy ti dayagyo.
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 Gapu iti daytoy agparintumengak iti Ama,
For this reason, then, I kneel before the Father –
15 a babaen kenkuana a ti tunggal pamilia idiay langit ken iti daga ket nanaganan.
from whom all “fatherhood” in heaven and on earth derives its name –
16 Ikararagko nga ipaayna kadakayo, segun iti kinabaknang ti dayagna, ti mapapigsa iti pannakabalin babaen iti Espirituna, nga adda kadakayo
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 Ikararagko nga agnaed koma ni Cristo iti puspusoyo babaen iti pammati. Ikararagko a maiparamutkayo ken maipadaga iti ayatna.
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 Addakayo koma iti ayatna tapno maawatanyo, a kakadua dagiti amin a namati, ti kalawa, ti kaatiddog, ti kangato, ken ti kauneg ti panagayat ni Cristo.
have the power to comprehend in all its width and length and height and depth,
19 Ikararagko a maammoanyo koma ti kinaindaklan ti ayat ni Cristo, a lumabes iti pannakaammo. Aramidenyo koma daytoy tapno mapnokayo koma iti amin a pakabuklan iti Dios.
and to understand – though it surpasses all understanding – the love of the Christ; and so be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Ita, kenkuana a makaaramid iti amin nga ad-adayo a nangatngato ngem kadagiti amin a dawaten wenno panunotentayo, segun iti pannakabalinna nga agtrabtrabaho kadatayo,
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 –
