Ephesians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:

1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، إِلَى الْقِدِّيسِينَ الأُمَنَاءِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، [الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ].

2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

3 تَبَارَكَ اللهُ، أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي بَارَكَنَا بِكُلِّ بَرَكَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ.

4 For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence. In love

4 كَمَا كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَارَنَا فِيهِ قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، لِنَكُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ بِلا لَوْمٍ أَمَامَهُ.

5 He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will,

5 إِذْ سَبَقَ فَعَيَّنَنَا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ لِيَتَّخِذَنَا أَبْنَاءً لَهُ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. وَذَلِكَ مُوَافِقٌ لِلْقَصْدِ الَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ مَشِيئَتُهُ،

6 to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One.

6 بِغَرَضِ مَدْحِ مَجْدِ نِعْمَتِهِ الَّتِي بِها أَعْطَانَا حُظْوَةً لَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَحْبُوبِ:

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace

7 فَفِيهِ لَنَا بِدَمِهِ الْفِدَاءُ، أَيْ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا؛ بِحَسَبِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ

8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

8 الَّتِي جَعَلَهَا تَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا مَصْحُوبَةً بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ.

9 And He has made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ

9 إِذْ كَشَفَ لَنَا سِرَّ مَشِيئَتِهِ بِحَسَبِ مَرْضَاتِهِ الَّتِي قَصَدَهَا فِي نَفْسِهِ،

10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.

10 لأَجْلِ تَدْبِيرِ تَمَامِ الأَزْمِنَةِ، حِينَ يُوَحِّدُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ رَئَاسَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، سَوَاءٌ الأَشْيَاءُ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَّتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ.

11 In Him we were also chosen as God’s own, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything by the counsel of His will,

11 وَفِي الْمَسِيحِ أَيْضاً قَدْ حَصَلْنَا عَلَى الْمِيرَاثِ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ عُيِّنَّا لَهُ، وَفْقاً لِقَصْدِهِ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا تَقْضِي مَشِيئَتُهُ.

12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, would be for the praise of His glory.

12 وَالْغَايَةُ أَنْ نَكُونَ سَبَباً لِمَدْحِ مَجْدِهِ بَعْدَمَا سَبَقَ لَنَا أَنْ وَضَعْنَا رَجَاءَنَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ.

13 And in Him, having heard and believed the word of truth—the gospel of your salvation—you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

13 وَفِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً (وَضَعْتُمْ رَجَاءَكُمْ) إِذْ سَمِعْتُمْ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ، أَيْ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي فِيهِ خَلاصُكُمْ؛ كَذَلِكَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً خُتِمْتُمْ، إِذْ آمَنْتُمْ، بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ الْمَوْعُودِ،

14 who is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.

14 هَذَا الرُّوحِ الَّذِي هُوَ عُرْبُونُ مِيرَاثِنَا إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ فِدَاءُ شَعْبِهِ الَّذِي اقْتَنَاهُ بِغَرَضِ مَدْحِ مَجْدِهِ.

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

15 لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضاً، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِمَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ لِجَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،

16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

16 لَا أَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ شُكْرِ اللهِ لأَجْلِكُمْ وَعَنْ ذِكْرِكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِي،

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

17 حَتَّى يَهَبَكُمْ إِلَهُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو الْمَجْدِ، رُوحَ حِكْمَةٍ وَإِلْهَامٍ: لِتَعْرِفُوهُ مَعْرِفَةً كَامِلَةً

18 I ask that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know the hope of His calling, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

18 إِذْ تَسْتَنِيرُ بَصَائِرُ قُلُوبِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُوا مَا فِي دَعْوَتِهِ لَكُمْ مِنْ رَجَاءٍ، وَمَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ مِيرَاثِهِ فِي الْقِدِّيسِينَ،

19 and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

19 وَمَا هِيَ عَظَمَةُ قُدْرَتِهِ الْفَائِقَةُ الْمُعْلَنَةُ لَنَا نَحْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ اقْتِدَارِ قُوَّتِهِ

20 which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms,

20 الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، بِإِقَامَتِهِ لَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ. وَقَدْ أَجْلَسَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ،

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

21 أَرْفَعَ جِدّاً مِنْ كُلِّ رَئَاسَةٍ وَسُلْطَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ وَسِيَادَةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ اسْمٍ يُسَمَّى، لَا فِي هَذَا الْعَالَمِ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ الآتِي أَيْضاً.

22 And God put everything under His feet and made Him head over everything for the church,

22 وَأَخْضَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَإِيَّاهُ جَعَلَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَأْساً لِلْكَنِيسَةِ

23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

23 الَّتِي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ وَكَمَالُهُ، هُوَ الَّذِي يُكَمِّلُ الْكُلَّ فِي الكُلِّ.
