1Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, ko au Paula, ko e pōpula ʻa Sisu Kalaisi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu Senitaile,
1For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
2(He kuo mou fanongo ki he lakanga ʻi he ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo foaki kiate au koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu:
2if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
3Koeʻuhi naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe ia ʻi he fakahā kiate au ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo; ʻo hangē ko ia ne u tohi siʻi ki ai ʻi muʻa,
3how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
4ʻAia, ʻoka mou ka lau, te mou ʻilo ʻeku poto ʻi he meʻa fakalilolilo ʻa Kalaisi)
4by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
5ʻAia naʻe ʻikai fakaʻilo ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa ki he ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata, ʻo hangē ko hono fakahā eni ʻe he Laumālie ki heʻene kau ʻaposetolo māʻoniʻoni mo e kau palōfita;
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,
6Koeʻuhi ke kaunga hoko ʻae kakai Senitaile, pea ʻi he sino pe taha, pea kau ʻi heʻene talaʻofa ʻia Kalaisi ʻi he ongoongolelei:
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,
7ʻAia naʻe fakanofo au ko e faifekau ʻo ia, ʻo fakatatau ki he foaki ʻofa ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe foaki kiate au ʻi he ngāue mālohi ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
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.
8Ko e siʻi hifo taha pe au ʻi he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻoku siʻi, ka kuo foaki ʻae ʻofa ni kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u malangaʻaki ki he ngaahi Senitaile ʻae koloa taʻefaʻahakule ʻa Kalaisi;
8To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
9Pea ke fakaʻilo ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻae feohi ʻoe meʻa fakalilolilo, ʻaia naʻe lilo ʻi he ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ia Sisu Kalaisi, talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo māmani:
9and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
10Koeʻuhi ke fakahā atu eni ʻe he siasi, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, ʻae poto ʻoe ʻOtua ki he ngaahi pule mo e ngaahi mālohi ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi,
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,
11ʻO fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻi muʻa ʻi muʻa, ʻaia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki:
11according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12ʻAia ʻoku ʻapaʻapangofua ai ʻetau hū mālohi atu ʻi he tui kiate ia.
12In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
13Ko ia ʻoku ou holi ke ʻoua naʻa mou loto foʻi ʻi heʻeku ngaahi mamahi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻaia ko homou fiefiaʻanga.
13Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
14Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ou peluki ai hoku tui ki he Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi,
14For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15ʻAia ʻoku ui mei ai ʻae fānau kotoa pē ʻi he langi mo māmani,
15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
16Koeʻuhi ke ne foaki kiate kimoutolu, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene lelei, ke fakamālohi ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae mālohi ʻi hono Laumālie ʻi he tangata ʻi loto;
16that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
17Koeʻuhi ke nofoʻia homou loto ʻe Kalaisi ʻi he tui; kae aka ʻakimoutolu mo tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ʻofa,
17that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18Ke mou mafai ke ʻilo fakataha mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, hono māukupu, mo hono lōloa, mo hono loloto, mo hono māʻolunga;
18may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
19Pea ke ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hake ʻi he faʻa ʻilo, pea ke fakafonu ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae fonu kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.
19and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20Pea ko eni, ke ʻiate ia ʻaia ʻoku mafai ke fai lahi hake ʻaupito ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē te tau kolea pe mahalo ki ai, ʻo fakatatau ki he mālohi ʻaia ʻoku ngāue ʻiate kitautolu,
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,
21Ke ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei ʻi he siasi ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kotoa pē, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
21to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
