¹For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

¹ስለዚህም አሕዛብ ስለ ሆናችሁ ስለ እናንተ የክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ እስር የሆንሁ እኔ ጳውሎስ ለእግዚአብሔር እንበረከካለሁ።

²If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

²ለእናንተ ስለ ተሰጠኝ ስለ እግዚአብሔር ጸጋ መጋቢነት በእርግጥ ሰምታችኋል፤

³How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

³አስቀድሜ በአጭሩ እንደ ጻፍሁ፥ ይህን ምሥጢር በመግለጥ አስታወቀኝ፤

⁴Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

⁴ይህንም ስታነቡ የክርስቶስን ምሥጢር እንዴት እንደማስተውል ልትመለከቱ ትችላላችሁ፤

⁵Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

⁵ይህም፥ አሕዛብ አብረው እንዲወርሱ፥ በአንድ አካልም አብረው እንዲሆኑ፥ በወንጌልም መስበክ በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ በሆነ የተስፋ ቃል አብረው እንዲካፈሉ፥ ለቅዱሳን ሐዋርያትና ለነቢያት በመንፈስ አሁን እንደ ተገለጠ በሌሎቹ ትውልዶች ዘንድ ለሰው ልጆች አልታወቀም።

⁶That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

⁷እንደ ኃይሉ ሥራ እንደ ተሰጠኝም እንደ እግዚአብሔር ጸጋ ስጦታ መጠንየወንጌል አገልጋይ ሆንሁለት።

⁷Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

⁸ፍለጋ የሌለውን የክርስቶስን ባለ ጠግነት ለአሕዛብ እሰብክ ዘንድ፥ ሁሉንም በፈጠረው በእግዚአብሔር ከዘላለም የተሰወረው የምሥጢር ሥርዓት ምን እንደሆነ ለሁሉ እገልጥ ዘንድ ይህ ጸጋ ከቅዱሳን ሁሉ ይልቅ ለማንስ ለኔ ተሰጠ፤

⁸Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

¹⁰ብዙ ልዩ ልዩ የእግዚአብሔር ጥበብ አሁን በቤተ ክርስቲያን በኩል በሰማያዊ ስፍራ ውስጥ ላሉት አለቆችና ሥልጣናት ትታወቅ ዘንድ፤

⁹And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

¹¹ይህም በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ በጌታችን የፈጸመው የዘላለም አሳብ ነበረ፥

¹⁰To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

¹²በእርሱም ዘንድ ባለ እምነታችን በኩል በመታመን ድፍረትና መግባት በእርሱ አለን።

¹¹According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

¹³ስለዚህ ስለ እናንተ ስላለ መከራዬ እንዳትታክቱ እለምናችኋለሁ፥ ክብራችሁ ነውና።

¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

¹⁴ስለዚህ ምክንያት በሰማይና በምድር ያለ አባትነት ሁሉ ከሚሰየምበት ከአብ ፊት እንበረከካለሁ፤

¹³Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹⁶በመንፈሱ በውስጥ ሰውነታችሁ በኃይል እንድትጠነክሩ ክርስቶስም በልባችሁ በእምነት እንዲኖር እንደ ክብሩ ባለ ጠግነት መጠን ይስጣችሁ፤ የእናንተ ሥርና መሠረት በፍቅር ይጸና ዘንድ፥

¹⁴For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁸ከቅዱሳን ሁሉ ጋር ስፋቱና ርዝመቱ ከፍታውም ጥልቅነቱም ምን ያህል መሆኑን ለማስተዋል፥ ከመታወቅም የሚያልፈውን የክርስቶስን ፍቅር ለማወቅ ትበረቱ ዘንድ፥ እስከ እግዚአብሔርም ፍጹም ሙላት ደርሳችሁ ትሞሉ ዘንድ።

¹⁵Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

²⁰እንግዲህ በእኛ እንደሚሠራው ኃይል መጠን ከምንለምነው ወይም ከምናስበው ሁሉ ይልቅ እጅግ አብልጦ ሊያደርግ ለሚቻለው፥

¹⁶That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

²¹ለእርሱ በቤተ ክርስቲያን በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ እስከ ትውልዶች ሁሉ ከዘላለም እስከ ዘላለም ክብር ይሁን፤ አሜን።

¹⁷That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

¹⁸May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

¹⁹And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

²¹Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
