¹For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--

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

²if so be that ye have heard of the dispensation of that grace of God which was given me to you-ward;

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

³how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,

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

⁴whereby, when ye read, ye can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

⁴Seda lugedes te võite mõista minu arusaamist Kristuse saladustest,

⁵which in other generation was not made known unto the sons of men, as it hath now been revealed unto 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:

⁶[to wit], that the Gentiles are fellow-heirs, and fellow-members of the body, and fellow-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

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

⁷whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given 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.

⁸Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach unto the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

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

⁹and to make all men see what is the dispensation of the mystery which for ages hath been hid in God who created all things;

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

¹⁰to the intent that now unto the principalities and the powers in the heavenly [places] might be made known through the church the manifold wisdom of God,

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

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

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

¹²in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

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

¹³Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are 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,

¹⁴Sellepärast ma põlvitan Isa ees,

¹⁵from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

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

¹⁶that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man;

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

¹⁷that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

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

¹⁸may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

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

¹⁹and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God.

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

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,

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

²¹unto him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.

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