Abaefeso 3
1 Nze Pawulo, Kristo Yesu yanfuula omusibe we, nsobole okuyamba mmwe Abaamawanga.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Mwawulira ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa okubayamba.
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 Nga bwe nasooka okubawandiikira mu bimpimpi, Katonda alina okubikkulirwa okw’ekyama kwe yandaga.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 Bwe munaasoma ebbaluwa eno mujja kusobola okutegeera ebyo bye mmanyi ku kyama kya Kristo.
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 Mu biro eby’edda, tewali yali amanyi kyama ekyo okutuusa Omwoyo wa Katonda bw’akibikkulidde abatume be abatukuvu ne bannabbi.
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 Kino kye kyama kye njogerako: olw’enjiri ya Kristo, Abaamawanga balisikira wamu ne Isirayiri ekyo Katonda kye yasuubiza, era baliba omubiri gumu, era ne bagabanira wamu ekisuubizo ekyo mu Kristo 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 Nafuuka omuweereza w’enjiri eyo olw’ekirabo eky’ekisa kya Katonda kye naweebwa, Katonda ng’akolera mu maanyi ge.
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 Newaakubadde nga nze nsembayo wansi mu batukuvu bonna, naweebwa ekisa ekyo, okubuulira Abaamawanga emikisa egiri mu Kristo egitageraageraganyizika.
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 Katonda eyatonda ebintu byonna yayagala nnyambe buli muntu okutegeera ebyekyama ebyali bikwekeddwa mu Katonda. (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 Katonda yakigenderera atyo, ng’ayita mu kkanisa, alyoke yeeyoleke eri amaanyi n’obuyinza ebiri mu nsi ey’omwoyo eya waggulu, ng’abalaga nga bw’alina amagezi amangi ag’ebika eby’enjawulo.
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 Katonda yakola bw’atyo ng’enteekateeka ye ey’emirembe n’emirembe bw’eri, gye yatuukiriza mu ebyo byonna Kristo Yesu Mukama waffe bye yakola. (aiōn g165)
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Kristo atuwa obuvumu n’obugumu, tulyoke tusembere mu maaso ga Katonda olw’okukkiriza nga tetutya.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Kyenva mbeegayirira muleme kuterebuka olw’okubonaabona kwange ku lwammwe, kubanga ekyo kibaleetera kitiibwa.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Nfukaamirira Kitaffe,
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 ebika byonna eby’omu ggulu n’eby’oku nsi mwe biggya obulamu.
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 Nsaba Katonda oyo akola eby’ekitalo era agulumizibwa, agumyenga era anywezenga omuntu wammwe ow’omunda, olw’Omwoyo we,
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 Kristo alyoke abeerenga mu mitima gyammwe olw’okukkiriza kwammwe. Mbasabira mubeerenga n’emirandira mu kwagala nga mukunywereddemu,
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 mulyoke mubeerenga n’amaanyi awamu n’abatukuvu bonna, okusobola okutegeera obugazi, n’obuwanvu, n’obugulumivu n’okukka wansi ebiri mu kwagala kwa Kristo.
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 Njagala mutegeere okwagala kwa Kristo okusukkiridde okutegeera kwonna, mulyoke musobole okutegeerera ddala Katonda bw’ali.
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 Kaakano nsaba nti oyo akola ebintu byonna okusinga byonna bye tusaba, ne bye tulowooza, ng’amaanyi ge bwe gali agakolera mu ffe,
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,
