Efesoon 3
1 Sababii kanaaf ani Phaawulos isin Namoota Ormaatiif jedhee hidhamaa Kiristoos Yesuus taʼeera.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Isin dhugumaan waaʼee hojii ayyaana Waaqaa kan isiniif jedhamee natti kenname sanaa dhageessaniirtu;
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 kunis akkuma ani kanaan dura gabaabsee isinii barreessetti icciitii mulʼataatiin natti beeksifame.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 Isin yommuu waan kana dubbiftanitti akka ani waaʼee icciitii Kiristoos beekumsa qabu hubachuu ni dandeessu;
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 icciitiin kunis akka amma Hafuuraan ergamootaa fi raajota qulqulloota Waaqaatti mulʼifametti dhaloota kaanitti hin beeksifamne.
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 Icciitiin kunis Namoonni Ormaa karaa wangeelaatiin saba Israaʼel wajjin dhaaltota, isaanuma wajjin dhagna tokko, waadaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin kenname keessatti immoo hirmaattota taʼuu isaanii ti.
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 Anis kennaa ayyaana Waaqaa kan karaa hojii humna isaatiin naa kennameen tajaajilaa wangeela kanaa taʼeera.
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 Ani qulqulloota hundaa gad taʼu iyyuu akka badhaadhummaa Kiristoos kan qoramee bira hin gaʼamne sana Namoota Ormaatti lallabuuf ayyaanni kun naa kennameera;
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 akkasumas icciitiin bara dheeraaf Waaqa waan hunda uumeen dhokfamee ture kun maal akka taʼe ani namoota hundaaf akka ibsuuf. (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 Kaayyoon isaas akka ogummaan Waaqaa inni dachaa hedduu qabu sun amma karaa waldaa kiristaanaatiin bulchitootaa fi abbootii taayitaa kanneen samii irra jiranitti beeksifamuuf;
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 kunis akkuma kaayyoo isaa kan bara baraa kan inni karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin raawwate sanaatti ture. (aiōn g165)
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Nus isaan, amantii isa irratti qabnuun, ija jabinaa fi amanachuudhaan Waaqatti dhiʼaachuu dandeenya.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Kanaafuu sababii ani isiniif dhiphachaa jiruuf jettanii akka abdii hin kutanne isin kadhadha; dhiphachuun koo ulfinuma keessan.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Sababii kanaaf ani fuula Abbaa duratti nan jilbeenfadha;
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 maatiin isaa warri samii irraa fi warri lafa irraa hundinuu maqaa isaanii isa irraa argatu.
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 Inni akkuma badhaadhummaa ulfina isaatti karaa Hafuura isaatiin namummaa keessan kan keessaa humnaan akka cimsuuf nan kadhadha;
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 akka Kiristoosis karaa amantiitiin garaa keessan keessa jiraatuuf nan kadhadha. Akka isin hidda gad fageeffattanii jaalalaan dhaabattaniifis nan kadhadha;
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 isinis jaalalli Kiristoos hammam akka balʼatu, hammam akka dheeratu, hammam akka ol fagaatuu fi hammam akka gad fagaatu qulqulloota hunda wajjin hubachuudhaaf akka humna qabaattaniif,
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 akka guutama Waaqaa hundaan guutamtaniifis jaalala Kiristoos kan beekumsaa ol taʼe sana akka beektaniif nan kadhadha.
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 Waaqa isa humna isaa kan nu keessatti hojjetu sanaan hamma nu kadhannu yookaan hamma nu yaadnu hundumaa olitti akka malee hojjechuu dandaʼu sanaaf,
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,
