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

¹For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

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

²if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you;

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

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

⁴Seda lugedes te võite mõista minu arusaamist Kristuse saladustest,

⁴by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ;

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

⁵which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

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

⁶that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,

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

⁷of which I was made a servant, according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.

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

⁸To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

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

⁹and to make all men see what is the administration TR reads “fellowship” instead of “administration” of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.

¹⁴Sellepärast ma põlvitan Isa ees,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁹and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

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

²⁰Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

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

²¹to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
