< Ephesians 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:
مِنْ بُولُسَ، وَهُوَ رَسُولٌ لِلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِمَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، إِلَى الْقِدِّيسِينَ الأُمَنَاءِ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، [الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَفَسُسَ].١
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ.٢
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
تَبَارَكَ اللهُ، أَبُو رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ الَّذِي بَارَكَنَا بِكُلِّ بَرَكَةٍ رُوحِيَّةٍ فِي الأَمَاكِنِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ.٣
4 just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and unblemished before him in love.
كَمَا كَانَ قَدِ اخْتَارَنَا فِيهِ قَبْلَ تَأْسِيسِ الْعَالَمِ، لِنَكُونَ قِدِّيسِينَ بِلا لَوْمٍ أَمَامَهُ.٤
5 He foreordained us for adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
إِذْ سَبَقَ فَعَيَّنَنَا فِي الْمَحَبَّةِ لِيَتَّخِذَنَا أَبْنَاءً لَهُ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ. وَذَلِكَ مُوَافِقٌ لِلْقَصْدِ الَّذِي سُرَّتْ بِهِ مَشِيئَتُهُ،٥
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he bestowed favor upon us in the Beloved.
بِغَرَضِ مَدْحِ مَجْدِ نِعْمَتِهِ الَّتِي بِها أَعْطَانَا حُظْوَةً لَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَحْبُوبِ:٦
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the remission of our trespasses, according to the riches of God's grace,
فَفِيهِ لَنَا بِدَمِهِ الْفِدَاءُ، أَيْ غُفْرَانُ الْخَطَايَا؛ بِحَسَبِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ٧
8 which he lavished upon us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
الَّتِي جَعَلَهَا تَفِيضُ عَلَيْنَا مَصْحُوبَةً بِكُلِّ حِكْمَةٍ وَفَهْمٍ.٨
9 He made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ
إِذْ كَشَفَ لَنَا سِرَّ مَشِيئَتِهِ بِحَسَبِ مَرْضَاتِهِ الَّتِي قَصَدَهَا فِي نَفْسِهِ،٩
10 as a plan for the fullness of times, to bring everything together in Christ, things in heaven and things on earth.
لأَجْلِ تَدْبِيرِ تَمَامِ الأَزْمِنَةِ، حِينَ يُوَحِّدُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ رَئَاسَةِ الْمَسِيحِ، سَوَاءٌ الأَشْيَاءُ الَّتِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَّتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ.١٠
11 In Christ we have obtained an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his own will,
وَفِي الْمَسِيحِ أَيْضاً قَدْ حَصَلْنَا عَلَى الْمِيرَاثِ الَّذِي سَبَقَ أَنْ عُيِّنَّا لَهُ، وَفْقاً لِقَصْدِهِ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ كَمَا تَقْضِي مَشِيئَتُهُ.١١
12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ, might live for the praise of his glory.
وَالْغَايَةُ أَنْ نَكُونَ سَبَباً لِمَدْحِ مَجْدِهِ بَعْدَمَا سَبَقَ لَنَا أَنْ وَضَعْنَا رَجَاءَنَا فِي الْمَسِيحِ.١٢
13 And when you heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in Christ, you were also sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
وَفِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضاً (وَضَعْتُمْ رَجَاءَكُمْ) إِذْ سَمِعْتُمْ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ، أَيْ الإِنْجِيلَ الَّذِي فِيهِ خَلاصُكُمْ؛ كَذَلِكَ فِيهِ أَيْضاً خُتِمْتُمْ، إِذْ آمَنْتُمْ، بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ الْمَوْعُودِ،١٣
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
هَذَا الرُّوحِ الَّذِي هُوَ عُرْبُونُ مِيرَاثِنَا إِلَى أَنْ يَتِمَّ فِدَاءُ شَعْبِهِ الَّذِي اقْتَنَاهُ بِغَرَضِ مَدْحِ مَجْدِهِ.١٤
15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,
لِذَلِكَ أَنَا أَيْضاً، وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِمَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ لِجَمِيعِ الْقِدِّيسِينَ،١٥
16 I have not ceased giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.
لَا أَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ شُكْرِ اللهِ لأَجْلِكُمْ وَعَنْ ذِكْرِكُمْ فِي صَلَوَاتِي،١٦
17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him.
حَتَّى يَهَبَكُمْ إِلَهُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ، أَبُو الْمَجْدِ، رُوحَ حِكْمَةٍ وَإِلْهَامٍ: لِتَعْرِفُوهُ مَعْرِفَةً كَامِلَةً١٧
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
إِذْ تَسْتَنِيرُ بَصَائِرُ قُلُوبِكُمْ، فَتَعْلَمُوا مَا فِي دَعْوَتِهِ لَكُمْ مِنْ رَجَاءٍ، وَمَا هُوَ غِنَى مَجْدِ مِيرَاثِهِ فِي الْقِدِّيسِينَ،١٨
19 and what is the surpassing greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great power.
وَمَا هِيَ عَظَمَةُ قُدْرَتِهِ الْفَائِقَةُ الْمُعْلَنَةُ لَنَا نَحْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِ اقْتِدَارِ قُوَّتِهِ١٩
20 He exercised this power in Christ by raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly places,
الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، بِإِقَامَتِهِ لَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأَمْوَاتِ. وَقَدْ أَجْلَسَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ،٢٠
21 far above every ruler and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
أَرْفَعَ جِدّاً مِنْ كُلِّ رَئَاسَةٍ وَسُلْطَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ وَسِيَادَةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ اسْمٍ يُسَمَّى، لَا فِي هَذَا الْعَالَمِ وَحَسْبُ، بَلْ فِي ذَلِكَ الآتِي أَيْضاً. (aiōn g165)٢١
22 God put all things in subjection under Christ's feet and appointed him as head over all things for the church,
وَأَخْضَعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ، وَإِيَّاهُ جَعَلَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ رَأْساً لِلْكَنِيسَةِ٢٢
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
الَّتِي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ وَكَمَالُهُ، هُوَ الَّذِي يُكَمِّلُ الْكُلَّ فِي الكُلِّ.٢٣
