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

¹Radi toga ja, Pavao, sužanj Krista Isusa za vas pogane...

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

²Zacijelo ste čuli za rasporedbu milosti Božje koja mi je dana za vas:

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

³objavom mi je obznanjeno otajstvo, kako netom ukratko opisah.

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

⁴Čitajući to, možete dokučiti kako ja shvaćam Kristovo otajstvo,

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;

⁵koje nije bilo obznanjeno sinovima ljudskim drugih naraštaja. Ono je sada u Duhu objavljeno svetim njegovim apostolima i prorocima:

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,

⁶da su pogani subaštinici i "sutijelo" i sudionici obećanja u Kristu Isusu - po evanđelju,

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.

⁷kojega postadoh poslužiteljem darom milosti Božje koja mi je dana djelotvornošću snage njegove.

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

⁸Meni, najmanjemu od svih svetih, dana je ova milost: poganima biti blagovjesnikom neistraživog bogatstva Kristova

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;

⁹i osvijetliti rasporedbu otajstva, pred vjekovima skrivena u Bogu, koji sve stvori,

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,

¹⁰da sada - po Crkvi - Vrhovništvima i Vlastima na nebesima bude obznanjena mnogolika mudrost Božja

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

¹¹zasnovana - po naumu o vjekovima - u Kristu Isusu Gospodinu našemu.

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

¹²U njemu, s pouzdanjem po vjeri u njega, imamo slobodan pristup.

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

¹³Zato ne klonite, molim, s nevolja mojih za vas! One su slava vaša!

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

¹⁴Zato prigibam koljena pred Ocem,

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

¹⁵od koga ime svakom očinstvu na nebu i na zemlji:

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;

¹⁶neka vam dadne po bogatstvu Slave svoje ojačati se po Duhu njegovu u snazi za unutarnjeg čovjeka

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

¹⁷da po vjeri Krist prebiva u srcima vašim te u ljubavi ukorijenjeni i utemeljeni

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

¹⁸mognete shvatiti sa svima svetima što je Dužina i Širina i Visina i Dubina

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

¹⁹te spoznati nadspoznatljivu ljubav Kristovu da se ispunite do sve Punine Božje.

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,

²⁰Onomu pak koji snagom u nama djelatnom može učiniti mnogo izobilnije nego li mi moliti ili zamisliti -

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

²¹Njemu slava u Crkvi i u Kristu Isusu za sva pokoljenja vijeka vjekovječnoga! Amen.
