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

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

²ለእናንተ ስለ ተሰጠኝ ስለ እግዚአብሔር ጸጋ መጋቢነት በእርግጥ ሰምታችኋል፤

²(if indeed ye have heard of the administration of the grace of God which has been given to me towards you,

³አስቀድሜ በአጭሩ እንደ ጻፍሁ፥ ይህን ምሥጢር በመግለጥ አስታወቀኝ፤

³that by revelation the mystery has been made known to me, (according as I have written before briefly,

⁴ይህንም ስታነቡ የክርስቶስን ምሥጢር እንዴት እንደማስተውል ልትመለከቱ ትችላላችሁ፤

⁴by which, in reading it, ye can understand my intelligence in the mystery of the Christ,)

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።

⁵which in other generations has not been made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in [the power of the] Spirit,

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

⁶that [they who are of] the nations should be joint heirs, and a joint body, and joint partakers of [his] promise in Christ Jesus by the glad tidings;

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፤

⁷of which I am become minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me, according to the working of his power.

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

⁸To me, less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, to announce among the nations the glad tidings of the unsearchable riches of the Christ,

¹¹ይህም በክርስቶስ ኢየሱስ በጌታችን የፈጸመው የዘላለም አሳብ ነበረ፥

⁹and to enlighten all [with the knowledge of] what is the administration of the mystery hidden throughout the ages in God, who has created all things,

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

¹⁰in order that now to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies might be made known through the assembly the all-various wisdom of God,

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

¹¹according to [the] purpose of the ages, which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord,

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

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

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

¹³Wherefore I beseech [you] not to faint through my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

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።

¹⁴For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],

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

¹⁵of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,

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

¹⁶in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;

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

¹⁸in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;

¹⁹and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.

²⁰But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,

²¹to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).
