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

¹Seetõttu mina, Paulus, olen Kristuse Jeesuse vang teie, paganate heaks.

²if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of God that was given to me in regard to you,

²Jah, küllap te olete kuulnud Jumala armu majapidamisest, mis minu kätte on antud teie heaks!

³that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few [words] —

³Jumal on mulle ilmutuse kaudu teatanud saladuse, nagu ma eespool lühidalt kirjutasin.

⁴in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,

⁴Seda lugedes te võite mõista minu arusaamist Kristuse saladustest,

⁵which 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 —

⁵mida muistsete põlvede aegu ei antud teada inimlastele nii, nagu see nüüd on ilmutatud tema pühadele apostlitele ja prohvetitele Vaimus:

⁶that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news,

⁶et paganadki on tõotuse kaaspärijad ja sama ihu liikmed ja kaasosalised Kristuses Jeesuses evangeeliumi kaudu.

⁷of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power;

⁷Selle evangeeliumi teenriks olen ma saanud Jumala armu kingituse kohaselt, mis mulle on antud tema väe toimel.

⁸to me — the less than the least of all the saints — was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news — the untraceable riches of the Christ,

⁸Minule, kõige vähemale kõigi pühade seast, on antud see arm: kuulutada paganate seas evangeeliumi Kristuse äraarvamatust rikkusest

⁹and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

⁹ja valge ette tuua kõigile, mis on selle saladuse korraldus, mis on kätketud aegade algusest peale Jumalas, kes kõik on loonud.

¹⁰that there might be made known now to the principalities and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the assembly, the manifold wisdom of God,

¹⁰Nii saab nüüd Jumala mitmekülgne tarkus teatavaks koguduse kaudu taevastele valitsustele ja meelevaldadele

¹¹according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹¹ajastute ettemääramise järgi, mille ta on teinud teoks meie Issandas Kristuses Jeesuses,

¹²in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

¹²kelle sees usu läbi temasse on meil julgus ja usaldav ligipääs Jumalale.

¹³wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

¹³Seetõttu ma kutsun teid üles mitte loobuma, kui mind ahistatakse teie pärast - see on teie kirkus.

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

¹⁴Sellepärast ma põlvitan Isa ees,

¹⁵of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is named,

¹⁵kelle käest iga suguvõsa taevas ja maa peal saab nime,

¹⁶that He may give to you, according to the riches of His glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in regard to the inner man,

¹⁶et ta teile oma kirkuse rikkust mööda annaks väge saada tema Vaimu läbi tugevaks seesmise inimese poolest,

¹⁷that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

¹⁷et Kristus usu kaudu elaks teie südameis ning te oleksite juurdunud ja kinnitatud armastuses,

¹⁸that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

¹⁸et te suudaksite koos kõigi pühadega tunnetada, milline on armastuse laius ja pikkus ja sügavus ja kõrgus,

¹⁹to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled — to all the fulness of God;

¹⁹ning ära tunda Kristuse armastust, mis ületab iga tunnetuse, et te oleksite täidetud Jumala kogu täiusega.

²⁰and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

²⁰Aga Jumalale, kes meis tegutseva väega võib korda saata palju rohkem, kui oskame paluda või isegi mõelda,

²¹to Him [is] the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.

²¹temale olgu kirkus koguduses ja Kristuses Jeesuses igavesest ajast igavesti kõigi sugupõlvedeni! Aamen.
