Ephesians 3
1 Nítorí èyí náà ni èmi Paulu ṣe di òǹdè Jesu Kristi nítorí ẹ̀yin aláìkọlà.
For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you the nations,
2 Lóòtítọ́ ẹ̀yin tilẹ̀ ti gbọ́ ti iṣẹ́ ìríjú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, tí a fi fún mi fún yín;
if, indeed, you heard of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,
3 bí ó ti ṣe pé nípa ìfihàn ni ó ti fi ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ hàn fún mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí mo ti kọ ṣáájú ni ṣókí.
that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words]—
4 Nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá kà á, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin o fi lè mọ òye mi nínú ìjìnlẹ̀ Kristi.
in regard to which you are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
5 Èyí tí a kò í tí ì fihàn àwọn ọmọ ènìyàn rí nínú ìran mìíràn gbogbo, bí a ti fi wọ́n hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn aposteli rẹ̀ mímọ́ àti àwọn wòlíì nípa Ẹ̀mí;
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 pé, àwọn aláìkọlà jẹ́ àjùmọ̀jogún àti ẹ̀yà ara kan náà, àti alábápín ìlérí nínú Kristi Jesu nípa ìyìnrere.
that the nations are fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,
7 Ìránṣẹ́ èyí tí a fi mi ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀bùn oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run tí a fi fún mi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ agbára rẹ̀.
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 Fún èmi tí o kéré jùlọ nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ní a fi oore-ọ̀fẹ́ yìí fún, láti wàásù àwámárídìí ọ̀rọ̀ Kristi fún àwọn aláìkọlà;
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 àti láti mú kí gbogbo ènìyàn rí ohun tí iṣẹ́ ìríjú ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ náà jásí, èyí tí a ti fi pamọ́ láti ìgbà àtijọ́ nínú Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí ó dá ohun gbogbo nípa Jesu Kristi. (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 Kí a bá à lè fi ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ onírúurú ọgbọ́n Ọlọ́run hàn nísinsin yìí fún àwọn ìjòyè àti àwọn alágbára nínú àwọn ọ̀run, nípasẹ̀ ìjọ,
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,
according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord, (aiōn g165)
12 Nínú ẹni tí àwa ní ìgboyà, àti ọ̀nà pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé nípa ìgbàgbọ́ wa nínú rẹ̀.
in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of Him,
13 Nítorí náà, mo bẹ̀ yín kí àárẹ̀ má ṣe mú yín ni gbogbo wàhálà mi nítorí yín, èyí tí ṣe ògo yín.
for this reason, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 Nítorí ìdí èyí ni mo ṣe ń fi eékún mi kúnlẹ̀ fún Baba Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Orúkọ ẹni tí a fi ń pe gbogbo ìdílé tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀run àti ní ayé.
of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16 Kí òun kí ó lè fi agbára rẹ̀ fún ẹni inú yín ní okun, nípasẹ̀ Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
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 Kí Kristi lè máa gbé inú ọkàn yín nípa ìgbàgbọ́; pé bí ẹ ti ń fi gbòǹgbò múlẹ̀ tí ẹ sì ń fi ẹsẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nínú ìfẹ́;
that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, having been rooted and founded in love,
18 kí ẹ̀yin lè ní agbára láti mọ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, ohun tí ìbú, àti gígùn, àti jíjìn, àti gíga ìfẹ́ Kristi jẹ́.
that you may be in strength to comprehend, with all the holy ones, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,
19 Àti láti mọ̀ ìfẹ́ Kristi yìí tí ó ta ìmọ̀ yọ, kí a lè fi gbogbo ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ Ọlọ́run kún yín.
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 Ǹjẹ́ ẹni tí o lè ṣe lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ju gbogbo èyí tí a ń béèrè tàbí tí a ń rò lọ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára tí ń ṣiṣẹ́ nínú wa.
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,
