أفَسُس 3
| لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ، أَنَا بُولُسَ سَجِينُ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لأَجْلِكُمْ أَنْتُمُ الأُمَمَ، | ١ 1 |
For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles -
| عَلَى اعْتِبَارِ أَنَّكُمْ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ بِتَدْبِيرِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي لأَجْلِكُمْ: | ٢ 2 |
for surely you have heard of the stewardship of the grace of God entrusted to me for you?
| كَيْفَ كُشِفَ لِيَ السِّرُّ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْوَحْيِ، كَمَا كَتَبْتُ قَبْلاً بِإِيجَازٍ، | ٣ 3 |
You have heard how by direct revelation the secret truth was made known to me, as I have already briefly written you.
| وَيُمْكِنُكُمْ، حِينَمَا تَقْرَأُونَ مَا كَتَبْتُهُ، أَنْ تُدْرِكُوا اطِّلاعِي الْعَمِيقَ عَلَى سِرِّ الْمَسِيحِ، | ٤ 4 |
By reading what I have written, you can judge of my insight into that secret truth of Christ
| ذَلِكَ السِّرِّ الَّذِي لَمْ يُطْلَعْ عَلَيْهِ بَنُو الْبَشَرِ فِي الأَجْيَالِ الْمَاضِيَةِ مِثْلَمَا أُعْلِنَ الآنَ بِوَحْيِ الرُّوحِ لِرُسُلِهِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَنْبِيَائِهِ: | ٥ 5 |
which was not disclosed to the sons of men in former generations, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to his holy apostles and prophets,
| وَهُوَ أَنَّ غَيْرَ الْيَهُودِ هُمْ شُرَكَاءُ الْيَهُودِ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ، وَأَعْضَاءٌ فِي الْجَسَدِ مَعَهُمْ، وَلَهُمْ أَيْضاً حَقُّ الاسْتِفَادَةِ مِنَ الْوَعْدِ. وَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ وَبِفَضْلِ الإِنْجِيلِ | ٦ 6 |
namely, that in Christ Jesus the Gentiles form one body with us the Jews, and are coheirs and copartners in the promise, through the gospel.
| الَّذِي صِرْتُ أَنَا خَادِماً لَهُ بِحَسَبِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ الْمَوْهُوبَةِ لِي وَفْقاً لِعَمَلِ قُدْرَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
It is of this gospel I became a minister according to the gift of the power of the grace of God, bestowed on me by the energy of his power.
| فَلِي، أَنَا الأَصْغَرَ مِنْ أَصْغَرِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ جَمِيعاً، وُهِبَتْ هَذِهِ النِّعْمَةُ: أَنْ أُذِيعَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ بِشَارَةَ غِنَى الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي لَا يُحَدُّ، | ٨ 8 |
To me, who am less than the least of all saints, has this grace been given, that I should proclaim among the Gentiles the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ;
| وَأُنِيرَ الْجَمِيعَ بِمَعْرِفَةِ مَا هُوَ تَدْبِيرُ السِّرِّ الَّذِي أَبْقَاهُ اللهُ، خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، مَكْتُوماً مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ. (aiōn g165) | ٩ 9 |
and should make all men see the new dispensation of that secret purpose, hidden from eternity in the God who founded the universe, (aiōn g165)
| وَالْغَايَةُ أَنْ يَتَجَلَّى الآنَ أَمَامَ الرِّئَاسَاتِ وَالسُّلُطَاتِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ مَا يَظْهَرُ فِي الْكَنِيسَةِ مِنْ حِكْمَةِ اللهِ الْمُتَعَدِّدَةِ الْوُجُوهِ، | ١٠ 10 |
in order that now his manifold wisdom should, through the church, be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly sphere,
| وَفْقاً لِلْقَصْدِ الأَزَلِيِّ الَّذِي قَصَدَهُ اللهُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا، (aiōn g165) | ١١ 11 |
according to his eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōn g165)
| الَّذِي بِهِ لَنَا جُرْأَةٌ وَاقْتِرَابٌ وَاثِقٌ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ الإِيمَانِ بِهِ | ١٢ 12 |
In him we have this fearless confidence and boldness of access through our faith in him.
| فَلِذَلِكَ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَلّا يَفْتُرَ عَزْمُكُمْ بِسَبَبِ الضِّيقَاتِ الَّتِي أُقَاسِيهَا لأَجْلِكُمْ، فَهِيَ مَفْخَرَةٌ لَكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
So I beg you not to lose heart over my tribulations in your behalf; they are your glory.
| وَلِهَذَا السَّبَبِ أَحْنِي رُكْبَتَيَّ لِلآبِ | ١٤ 14 |
For this cause I bend my knees before the Father,
| الَّذِي هُوَ أَصْلُ كُلِّ أُبُوَّةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ، | ١٥ 15 |
from whom every fatherhood in heaven and earth is named,
| لِكَيْ يَمْنَحَكُمْ، وَفْقاً لِغِنَى مَجْدِهِ، أَنْ يُمِدَّ الرُّوحُ الكِيَانَ الدَّاخِلِيَّ فِي كُلٍّ مِنْكُمْ بِالْقُوَّةِ الْمُؤَيِّدَةِ، | ١٦ 16 |
praying him to grant you according to the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in your inmost being;
| لِيَسْكُنَ الْمَسِيحُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ؛ حَتَّى إِذَا تَأَصَّلْتُمْ وَتَأَسَّسْتُمْ فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ، | ١٧ 17 |
that Christ may make his home in your hearts through your faith; that you may be so deeply rooted and so firmly grounded in love,
| تَصِيرُونَ قَادِرِينَ تَمَاماً أَنْ تُدْرِكُوا، مَعَ الْقِدِّيسِينَ جَمِيعاً، مَا هُوَ الْعَرْضُ وَالطُّولُ وَالْعُلْوُ وَالْعُمْقُ، | ١٨ 18 |
that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is "the breadth," "the length," "the depth," and "the height,"
| وَتَعْرِفُوا مَحَبَّةَ الْمَسِيحِ الَّتِي تَفُوقُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ، فَتَمْتَلِئُوا حَتَّى تَبْلُغُوا مِلْءَ اللهِ كُلَّهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
and may know the love of Christ which transcends all knowing, so that you may be filled with all the "plenitude" of God.
| وَالْقَادِرُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ، وَفْقاً لِلْقُدْرَةِ الْعَامِلَةِ فِينَا، مَا يَفُوقُ بِلا حَصْرٍ كُلَّ مَا نَطْلُبُ أَوْ نَتَصَوَّرُ، | ٢٠ 20 |
Now unto him who, according to his might that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or even think,
