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

¹[Ny nanendrena an'i Paoly ho Apostolin'ny jentilisa, sy ny vavaka aman-tsaotra nataony ho an'ny fiangonana tao Efesosy] Ary noho izany, izaho Paoly, mpifatotra an'i Kristy Jesosy, noho ny aminareo jentilisa, -

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

²raha mba renareo ny fitondrana ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra izay nomena ahy ho anareo,

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

³fa fanambarana no nampahafantarana ahy ny zava-niafina, araka ny voasoratro tamin'ny teny fohifohy teo.

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

⁴Ary araka izany, raha mamaky ianareo, dia ho hainareo fantarina ny fahafantarako ny zava-niafina ny amin'i Kristy,

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,

⁵izay tsy mbola nampahafantarina ny zanak'olombelona tamin'ny taranaka lasa tahaka ny fanambaran'ny Fanahy ankehitriny amin'ny Apostoly masina sy ny mpaminany,

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;

⁶dia ny ahatongavan'ny jentilisa ho mpiray lova sy ho tena iray ary ho mpiombona ny teny fikasana ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy noho ny filazantsara,

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.

⁷izay nanaovana ahy ho mpanompo araka ny fanomezan'ny fahasoavan'Andriamanitra, izay nomena ahy araka ny fiàsan'ny heriny.

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,

⁸Eny, izaho, izay kely noho ny kely indrindra amin'ny olona masina rehetra, no nomena izao fahasoavana izao, dia ny hitory amin'ny jentilisa ny haren'i Kristy tsy hita lany,

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,

⁹ary ny hampahazava ny olona rehetra mba hahalalany izay fitondrana ny zava-miafina, dia Ilay voafina hatramin'ny nanaovana izao tontolo izao tao amin'Andriamanitra, Izay nanao ny zavatra rehetra;

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,

¹⁰mba hampahafantarina ireo fanapahana sy fahefana any an-danitra amin'izao ankehitriny izao ny mahamaro samy hafa ny fahendren'Andriamanitra amin'ny fitondrany ny fiangonana, [ Gr. eklesia]

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

¹¹araka ny fikasana hatrizay hatrizay izay nataony tao amin'i Kristy Jesosy Tompontsika,

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

¹²Izay ananantsika fahasahiana sy fanatonana amin'ny fahatokiana noho ny finoana Azy.

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

¹³Koa izany no angatahako aminareo mba tsy ho ketraka amin'ny fahoriako ho anareo, fa voninahitrareo izany.

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

¹⁴Ary noho izany no andohalehako amin'ny Ray

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

¹⁵Izay ahazoan'ny fianakaviana rehetra any an-danitra sy etỳ an-tany anarana,

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;

¹⁶mba homeny anareo, araka ny haren'ny voninahiny, ny mba hohatanjahina fatratra amin'ny Fanahiny ny toe-panahinareo;

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

¹⁷mba hitoeran'i Kristy ao am-ponareo amin'ny finoana, ka hamaka sy hiorina mafy amin'ny fitiavana ianareo,

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

¹⁸mba hahaizanareo mbamin'ny olona masina rehetra ny hahafantatra tsara izay sakany sy lavany ary hahavony sy halavany.

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

¹⁹ary hahalala ny fitiavan'i Kristy, izay mihoatra noho ny fahalalana, mba hamenoana anareo ho amin'ny fahafenoan'Andriamanitra rehetra.

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,

²⁰Ary ho an'izay mahay manao mihoatra noho ny zavatra rehetra, eny, mihoatra lavitra noho izay rehetra angatahintsika na heverintsika aza, araka ny hery izay miasa ato amintsika,ho Azy anie ny voninahitra ao amin'ny fiangonana sy ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy hatramin'ny taranaka farany indrindra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. [ Gr. eklesia]

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

²¹ho Azy anie ny voninahitra ao amin'ny fiangonana sy ao amin'i Kristy Jesosy hatramin'ny taranaka farany indrindra mandrakizay mandrakizay. Amena. [ Gr. eklesia]
