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, -

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 —

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,

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

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

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;

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,

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,

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;

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,

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]

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Ary noho izany no andohalehako amin'ny Ray

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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]

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,

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]

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