Ephesians 1
1 Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus:
神の御意によりてキリスト・イエスの使徒となれるパウロ、書をエペソに居る聖徒、キリストに在りて忠實なる者に贈る。
2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
願はくは我らの父なる神および主イエス・キリストより賜ふ恩惠と平安と汝らに在らんことを。
3 Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ,
讃むべきかな、我らの主イエス・キリストの父なる神、かれはキリストに由りて靈のもろもろの祝福をもて天の處にて我らを祝し、
4 As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue:
御前にて潔く瑕なからしめん爲に、世の創の前より我等をキリストの中に選び、
5 Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will,
御意のままにイエス・キリストに由り愛をもて己が子となさんことを定め給へり。
6 To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued,
是その愛しみ給ふ者によりて我らに賜ひたる恩惠の榮光に譽あらん爲なり。
7 By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace:
我らは彼にありて恩惠の富に隨ひ、その血に頼りて贖罪、すなはち罪の赦を得たり。
8 Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding,
神は我らに諸般の知慧と聰明とを與へてその恩惠を充しめ、
9 And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him,
御意の奧義を御意のままに示し給へり。
10 That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ:
即ち時 滿ちて經綸にしたがひ、天に在るもの地にあるものを、悉とくキリストに在りて一つに歸せしめ給ふ。これ自ら定め給ひし所なり。
11 In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will,
我らは、凡ての事を御意の思慮のままに行ひたまふ者の御旨によりて預じめ定められ、キリストに在りて神の産業とせられたり。
12 That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie:
これ夙くよりキリストに希望を置きし我らが、神の榮光の譽とならん爲なり。
13 In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise,
汝 等もキリストに在りて、眞の言すなはち汝らの救の福音をきき、彼を信じて約束の聖 靈にて印せられたり。
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory.
これは我らが受くべき嗣業の保證にして、神に屬けるものの贖はれ、かつ神の榮光に譽あらん爲なり。
15 Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints,
この故に我も汝らが主イエスに對する信仰と凡ての聖徒に對する愛とを聞きて、
16 I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
絶えず汝らのために感謝し、わが祈のうちに汝らを憶え、
17 That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ, that Father of glory, might giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome, and reuelation through the acknowledging of him,
我らの主イエス・キリストの神、榮光の父、なんぢらに智慧と默示との靈を與へて、神を知らしめ、
18 That the eyes of your vnderstanding may be lightened, that ye may knowe what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in the Saints,
汝らの心の眼を明かにし、神の召にかかはる望と、聖徒にある神の嗣業の榮光の富と、
19 And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power,
神の大能の勢威の活動によりて信ずる我らに對する能力の極めて大なるとを知らしめ給はんことを願ふ。
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places,
神はその大能をキリストのうちに働かせて、之を死人の中より甦へらせ、天の所にて己の右に坐せしめ、
21 Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, (aiōn g165)
もろもろの政治・權威・能力・支配、また啻に此の世のみならず、來らんとする世にも稱ふる凡ての名の上に置き、 (aiōn g165)
22 And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church,
萬の物をその足の下に服はせ、彼を萬の物の上に首として教會に與へ給へり。
23 Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things.
この教會は彼の體にして、萬の物をもて萬の物に滿し給ふ者の滿つる所なり。
