Pogōnu pesteišona.
1 Tōpēc es, Pōvuls, asmu deļ jums pogōnim Jezus Kristus gyusteknis. 2 Jyus dzērdējot par Dīva žēlesteibas pōrzynōšonu, kura man dēļ jums ir dūta. 3 Šytys nūslāpums man vīnā redzējumā tyka pasludynōts, kai es nasen eisumā jums raksteju. 4 Kad jyus tū losot, tad jyus varat munu īskotu Kristus nūslāpumā saprast. 5 Agrōkūs laikūs šytys cylvāka bārnim tai sludynōts natyka, kai tagad caur Jō svātim apostolim un pravīšim ikš Gora teik atklōts: 6 Pogōni ir īkš Jezus Kristus leidzmantinīki caur Evangeliju, 7 par kura kolpu es asmu klivis caur Dīva žēlesteibu, kura man ir dūta caur Jō spāka vareibu. 8 Man, tam nu visim svātajim mozōkajam ir dūta tei žēlesteiba, lai sludynōtu pogōnim naizpētamōs Kristus bogōteibas 9 un skaidri apgaismōtu, kai nu myužim pi Dīva, vysu lītu Radeitōja, nūslāptais nūslāpums teik izpiļdeits. 10 Tagad caur Bazneicu jōpasludynoj vērseibom un vareibom dabasūs daudzejaidō Dīva gudreiba. 11 Tys ir Dīva pyrmsmyužeigais lāmums, kuru Jys ikš myusu Kunga Jezus Kristus izpiļdeja. 12 Jymā mums ir drūšeiba un pilni cereibas mes varam tyvōtīs (Dīvam), caur ticeibu ikš Jō. 13 Tōpēc es lyudzu: Napagurstit munūs spaidūs jyusu dēļ, jo tei ir jyusu slava.
14 Tōpēc es kreitu ceļūs pret (myusu Kunga Jezus Kristus) Tāvu, 15 nu kura jam sev nūsaukumu ikvīna saime dabasūs un vērs zemes. 16 Lai Jys dūd jums pēc sovas gūdeibas bogōteibas, ka jyus caur Jō Goru, kas atsateic uz īkšejū cylvāku, byutu stipri un spēceigi, 17 lai jyusu sirdīs caur ticeibu dzeivōtu Kristus, lai jyus byutu stipri īsasakņōjuši un nūsastyprynōjuši mīlesteibā, 18 lai jyus byutu spējeigi reizē ar visim svātajim saprast jōs plotumu, garumu, augstumu un dziļumu, 19 un pazeit ikvīnu saprasšonu pōrspējūšū Kristus mīlesteibu, lai caur tū byutu piļdeiti ar ikvīnu Dīva piļneibu.
20 Bet Jam, kas caur tū spāku, kurs myusūs dorbojās, spēj padareit daudz vairōk, na kai mes varam lyugt un īdūmōt, 21 Jam lai ir gūds Bazneicā un ikš Jezus Kristus nu paaudžu uz paaudzem, nu myužu uz myužim. Amen.
Paul's Mission to the Gentiles
1 Christ Jesus made me his prisoner, so I could help you Gentiles. 2 You have surely heard about God's gift of undeserved grace in choosing me to help you. 3 In fact, this letter tells you a little about how God has shown me his mysterious ways. 4 As you read the letter, you will also find out how well I really do understand the mystery about Christ. 5 No one knew about this mystery until God's Spirit told it to his holy apostles and prophets. 6 And the mystery is this: Because of Christ Jesus, the good news has given the Gentiles a share in the promises God gave to the Jews. God has also let the Gentiles be part of the same body.
7 God treated me with kindness. His power worked in me, and it became my job to spread the good news. 8 I am the least important of all God's people. But God was kind and chose me to tell the Gentiles that because of Christ there are blessings that cannot be measured. 9 God, who created everything, wanted me to help everyone understand the mysterious plan that had always been hidden in his mind. 10 Then God would use the church to show the powers and authorities in the spiritual world that he has many different kinds of wisdom.
11 God did this according to his eternal plan. And he was able to do what he had planned because of all Christ Jesus our Lord had done. 12 Christ now gives us courage and confidence, so we can come to God by faith. 13 This is why you should not be discouraged when I suffer for you. After all, it will bring honor to you.
Christ's Love for Us
14 I kneel in prayer to the Father. 15 All beings in heaven and on earth receive their life from him. 16 God is wonderful and glorious. I pray that his Spirit will make you become strong followers 17 and that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. Stand firm and be deeply rooted in his love. 18 I pray that you and all God's people will understand what is called wide or long or high or deep. 19 I want you to know all about Christ's love, although it is too wonderful to be measured. Then your lives will be filled with all that God is.
20-21 I pray that Christ Jesus and the church will forever bring praise to God. His power at work in us can do far more than we dare ask or imagine. Amen.
