Ephesians 3 (YER)

1Ka̱kul nva̱ ta te, mmami uBulus unəm va ma pak ka̱ ashe nzhi ikan ka̱kul nnap aKəristi ka̱kul wo onəm va oYahudi ka̱t te, (mmami ka̱ nnəm aduwa awo).For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles...

2N nyinyi pa̱ o fe nnap va̱ chit pa̱ Inan nak mi n sat unəm uga nnəm inok nnap nnəna̱n va ma na aghəghan á mi chit ka̱kul wo a.Surely you have heard about the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you,

3O nyi asa̱l va̱ nyi kpa ma nyám nnap mbwambwam á mi ka̱ atak nnyam ìpir nnàp wa nva ka̱ m myangchi ishishi awo chit pa̱ ɗa̱pfinyang a.that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.

4Ka̱ atak nkun iya̱m va̱ ta̱ te, nna o kpán ipir nnyi va̱ mmami ka̱ ka̱ apal ishi nnap mbwambwam ka̱ apal ishi aKəristi.In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,

5Iya̱m va ma nyám ônəm oga ashe nra nro ka̱t, wa nva̱ ǹyangmata̱ ma nyám ônəm nəna̱n oga nre aKəristi ká̱ onəm oga nka̱m nre ka̱ atak Inan, ka̱ atak inok aRuhu-Nəna̱n a.which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.

6Nnap mbwambwam va̱ ta̱ nna pa̱ ka̱ atak nnap-nlà Inan ngga nchang nfe na kan onəm va̱ oYahudi ka̱t te, oza̱ tong chit onəm oga ngwur akup nzəng ka̱ oIsa̱rila. Oza̱ tong mɓan izər izəntəng chit. Oza̱ tong chit kpa onəm oga nfe nchang nsar nnap-nlà nzəng ka̱ atak áYesu kəristi.This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

7Ma nak mi chit n ta̱l unəm uga nnəm inok nnap-nlà ngga nchang nfe va̱ ta̱ ka̱ atak imwa aghan va ma na mi ka̱ ashe ichumchum chumchum ka̱kul nnap nnəna̱n nəna̱n.I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.

8Mmami na n yen ji pa̱ kpaktak ka̱ ashe onəm Inan. ká̱ nnà te, ma nak mmami na pa̱ ń là nnap-nlà Inan ônəm va̱ oYahudi ka̱t, ka̱ apal ishi ntəm ashik va ka̱ ashe aKəristi va yà ka̱ nkùr ka̱t a.Though I am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

9Ma nak mi kpa pa̱ ń nyám nnap mbwambwam va̱ ta̱ n̂kpaktak onəm pa̱ kpátkpát. Iya̱m va ka̱ ashe izún ká̱ izún va̱ watar cho matmat te, Inan va nəm iya̱m pa̱ kpaktak te, uza̱ ka̱ bwam nnənap bwam.and to illuminate for everyone the stewardship of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.

10Inan nəm pa na ǹyangmata̱ na te, uza̱ a nyám îponzhi ká̱ ichumchum iga apaɓur pa̱ ɗongɗong, ka̱ atak ikilisiya aghan achumchum va̱ uza̱ ka̱ a.His purpose was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms,

11Nva̱ ta nəm pa̱ səlak ka̱ nɗom Inan va ma nak chit təm mbyet ka̱ ashe aPonzhi yi uYesu Kəristi.according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12Ka̱ atak ntəm nzəng ká̱ uwa, nzəng ka̱ nna nnandər ka̱ na te, i ɓa atak Inan ayər ro yà ka̱t.In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

13Ka̱kul nva̱ ta te, mmami ka̱ nchal pa̱ kan mɓək anung mi ka̱kul wo a sat iya̱m iga nvang izər awo ka̱t. Ka̱kul mɓək anung mi nna sat nrup ká̱ ichumchum wo.So I ask you not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

14Nna nak te, mmami ka̱ mɓəram ka̱ anung aduwa ka̱ mpyal Inan uPon... for this reason I bow my knees before the Father,

15va ka̱tətak na nkpaktak akum ìjili ka̱ apaɓur ká̱ apambin ya aɗin oza̱.from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.

16Mmami ka̱ nchal pa̱ uza̱ a na awo ka̱ ashe mmak, ka̱ mɓyen, ka̱ nrup ichumchum chumchum. Na uza̱ a nak wo o kam pa̱ gənggəng ka̱ atak aRuhu Ruhu.I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

17Na uKəristi a təm ka̱ ashe igwák wo kpa ka̱ atak nna nnandər wo ka̱ na. Na mma̱n a pak alə̀ng a kəkam ka̱ ashe wo.so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18Na o ya aghan achumchum nzəng ka̱ nkpaktak onəm Inan, na o nyi ngba̱ng mma̱n aKəristi, ka̱ nrurup, ka̱ mbəbal, ka̱ nwuwang.will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth

19Na o nyi kpa apir mma̱n va̱ uKəristi ka̱ mma̱n yi. Mma̱n va ji nkam nnyi ji pa̱ kpaktak. Na Inan ká̱ ishi wò a yə́l igwák wo pa̱ sur.of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

20Re ichumchum a təm ija anəm va uwa nyi nnəm ayi i ji pa̱ makmak iya̱m va i ɓəp ka̱tətak ká̱ iya̱m va̱ i rəng nnənap na pa kùk. Re a təm ijini ka̱ atak ìkàm ichumchum chumchum va ka̱ nnəm inok ka̱ ashe yi a.Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,

21Nrup ká̱ ichumchum chumchum ka̱ atak inok aKəristi va ikilisiya ka̱ nrup ka̱ te, a təm chit mbyet mbyet ka̱ ashe nra va̱ ta̱ ka̱ nra ngga mɓa. Nna a təm.to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
