Ephesians 2

1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,

1 وَأَنْتُمْ كُنْتُمْ فِي السَّابِقِ أَمْوَاتاً بِذُنُوبِكُمْ وَخَطَايَاكُمْ،

2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

2 الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تَسْلُكُونَ فِيهَا حَسَبَ طُرُقِ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ، تَابِعِينَ رَئِيسَ قُوَّاتِ الْهَوَاءِ، ذَلِكَ الرُّوحَ الْعَامِلَ الآنَ فِي أَبْنَاءِ الْعِصْيَانِ،

3 All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.

3 الَّذِينَ بَيْنَهُمْ نَحْنُ أَيْضاً كُنَّا نَسْلُكُ سَابِقاً فِي شَهْوَاتِ جَسَدِنَا، عَامِلِينَ مَا يُرِيدُهُ الْجَسَدُ وَالأَفْكَارُ، وَكُنَّا بِالطَّبِيعَةِ أَوْلادَ الْغَضَبِ كَالآخَرِينَ أَيْضاً.

4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,

4 أَمَّا اللهُ، وَهُوَ غَنِيٌّ فِي الرَّحْمَةِ، فَبِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الَّتِي أَحَبَّنَا بِها،

5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!

5 وَإِذْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً أَمْوَاتاً بِالذُّنُوبِ، أَحْيَانَا مَعَ الْمَسِيحِ، إِنَّمَا بِالنِّعْمَةِ أَنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ،

6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

6 وَأَقَامَنَا مَعَهُ وَأَجْلَسَنَا مَعَهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

7 in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

7 وَذَلِكَ كَيْ يَعْرِضَ فِي الدُّهُورِ الْقَادِمَةِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ الْفَائِقَ فِي لُطْفِهِ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

8 فَإِنَّكُمْ بِالنِّعْمَةِ مُخَلَّصُونَ، بِالإِيمَانِ، وَهَذَا لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ. إِنَّهُ هِبَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ،

9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

9 لَا عَلَى أَسَاسِ الأَعْمَالِ، حَتَّى لَا يَفْتَخِرَ أَحَدٌ.

10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

10 فَإِنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَمَلُ اللهِ، وَقَدْ خَلَقَنَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لأَعْمَالٍ صَالِحَةٍ أَعَدَّهَا سَلَفاً لِنَسْلُكَ فِيهَا.

11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—

11 لِذَلِكَ اذْكُرُوا، أَنْتُمُ الأُمَمَ فِي الْجَسَدِ سَابِقاً، يَا مَنْ تُسَمَّوْنَ أَهْلَ عَدَمِ الْخِتَانِ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ يُسَمَّوْنَ أَهْلَ الْخِتَانِ الَّذِي يَجْرِي فِي الْجَسَدِ بِالْيَدِ،

12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.

12 أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ بِلا مَسِيحٍ، أَجَانِبَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغُرَبَاءَ عَنِ الْعُهُودِ الْمَوْعُودَةِ، لَا رَجَاءَ لَكُمْ، وَمُنْكِرِينَ لِلهِ فِي الْعَالَمِ.

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

13 أَمَّا الآنَ، فَفِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ بَعِيدِينَ قَدْ صِرْتُمْ قَرِيبِينَ بِدَمِ الْمَسِيحِ.

14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility

14 فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ سَلامُنَا، ذَاكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ وَاحِداً وَهَدَمَ حَائِطَ الْحَاجِزِ الْفَاصِلَ بَيْنَهُمَا،

15 by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

15 أَيِ الْعِدَاءَ: إِذْ أَبْطَلَ بِجَسَدِهِ شَرِيعَةَ الْوَصَايَا ذَاتَ الْفَرَائِضِ، لِكَيْ يُكَوِّنَ مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ إِنْسَاناً وَاحِداً جَدِيداً، إِذْ أَحَلَّ السَّلامَ بَيْنَهُمَا،

16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He put to death their hostility.

16 وَلِكَيْ يُصَالِحَهُمَا مَعاً فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ اللهِ بِالصَّلِيبِ الَّذِي بِهِ قَتَلَ الْعِدَاءَ.

17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

17 ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَبَشَّرَكُمْ بِالسَّلامِ أَنْتُمُ الْبَعِيدِينَ، (كَمَا بَشَّرَ بِالسَّلامِ) أُولئِكَ الْقَرِيبِينَ.

18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

18 فَبِهِ لَنَا كِلَيْنَا اقْتِرَابٌ إِلَى الآبِ بِرُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ.

19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

19 إِذَنْ، لَسْتُمْ غُرَبَاءَ وَأَجَانِبَ بَعْدَ الآنَ، بَلْ أَنْتُمْ رَعِيَّةٌ مَعْ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَعْضَاءٌ فِي عَائِلَةِ اللهِ،

20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

20 وَقَدْ بُنِيتُمْ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الرُّسُلِ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَالْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ نَفْسُهُ هُوَ حَجَرُ الزَّاوِيَةِ الأَسَاسُ،

21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

21 الَّذِي فِيهِ يَتَنَاسَقُ الْبِنَاءُ كُلُّهُ فَيَرْتَفِعُ لِيَصِيرَ هَيْكَلاً مُقَدَّساً فِي الرَّبِّ.

22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.

22 وَفِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً قَدْ بُنِيتُمْ مَعاً فَصِرْتُمْ مَسْكَناً لِلهِ بِوُجُودِ الرُّوحِ.
