Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
神の思召によりてイエズス、キリストの使徒たるパウロ、エフェゾに在る（凡ての）聖徒、並にキリスト、イエズスに於る信徒に[書簡を贈る]。
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
願はくは我父にて在す神及び主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。
3 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who blessed us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ,
第一項 エフェゾ信徒の為に感謝し祈祷す 第一編 聖會の比なき光榮 祝すべき哉、我主イエズス、キリストの神及び父、是はキリストに於て諸の霊的祝福を以て我等を天より祝し給ひ、
4 according as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,
御前に於て聖にして汚なき者たらしめんとて、寵愛を以て、世界開闢以前よりキリストによりて選み給ひ、
5 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
思召のまにまに、イエズス、キリストを以て己が子とならしめん事を預定し給ひたればなり。
6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He made us accepted in the beloved,
是最愛なる御子に於て我等に賜ひし榮光ある恩寵の誉の為なり。
7 in whom we have the redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of the trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
我等が贖を得、罪の赦を得るは、キリストに在りて其御血によれり、即ち神の豊なる恩寵に由れるなり。
8 in which He abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
其恩寵我等に溢れて、諸の智恵及び悟を開けり、
9 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,
是御旨に從ひて、キリストを以て預定し給ひし思召の奥義を、我等に諭し給はん為なり。
10 in regard to the dispensation of the fullness of the times, to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth—in Him;
此思召は、時期の満つるに及びて一切のもの、即ち天に在るものをも地に在るものをも悉くキリストに於て一の首の下に輯め給ふに在り。
11 in whom also we obtained an inheritance, being foreordained according to the purpose of Him who is working all things according to the counsel of His will,
我等もキリストに於て選まれ、思召す儘に萬事を行ひ給ふものの量に從ひて預定せられたり、
12 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who first hoped in the Christ,
是先んじてキリストを希望せし我等が、其光榮の誉とならん為なり。
13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth—the good news of your salvation—in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,
汝等も亦キリストに於て、眞理の言なる汝等の救霊の福音を聞き、且之を信じて約束せられ給ひたりし聖霊を以て證印せられしが、
14 which is a deposit of our inheritance, to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
之汝等の世嗣の保證として、獲られたる人々の贖となり、其光榮の誉と成らん為に賜はりたるなり。
15 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the holy ones,
故に我も、主イエズスに於る汝等の信仰と、凡ての聖徒に對する愛情とを聞きて、
16 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
不絶汝等の為に感謝し、我祈祷の中に汝等を記念す。
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the recognition of Him,
祈る所は我主イエズス、キリストの神、光榮の父が、汝等に知識と黙示との霊を賜ひて神を識らしめ、
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the holy ones,
汝等の心の眼を明にして、其召によれる希望の如何を識らしめ、聖徒等に賜ふべき世嗣の光榮富の如何を識らしめ
19 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,
其全能の勢力の作為によりて、信奉る我等に於て、其勢力の如何に優れて偉大なるかを識らしめ給はん事是なり。
20 which He worked in the Christ, having raised Him out of the dead, and sat [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly [places],
其勢力をキリストに於て顕し、之を死者の中より復活せしめ、天に於て之を己の右に置き、
21 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one; (aiōn g165)
一切の権勢と能力と、勢力と主権との上、又凡て今世のみならず來世にも名けられて名[あるもの]の上に置き給ひ、 (aiōn g165)
22 and He put all things under His feet, and gave Him—head over all things to the Assembly,
萬物を其御足の下に服せしめ、教會の萬事の上に頭となし給へり。
23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who is filling all in all.
即ち教會はキリストの御體にして、萬物に萬事を満たし給へるものの充満ち給ふ所なり。
