1 م ِنْ بُولُسَ رَسُولِ المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ بِحَسَبِ مَشِيئَةِ اللهِ، إلَى شَعبِ اللهِ المُقَدَّسِ فِي مَدينَةِ أفَسُسَ، وَالمُؤمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ فِي المَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

2 ل ِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أبِينا وَمِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ. بَرَكاتٌ رُوحِيَّةٌ فِي المَسِيح

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 ت َبارَكَ إلَهُ رَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ وَأبُوهُ. فَقَدْ أنعَمَ عَلَينا فِي المَسِيحِ بِكُلِّ البَرَكاتِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ الَّتِي فِي العالَمِ السَّماوِيِّ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ:

4 ف َفِي المَسِيحِ، اختارَنا اللهُ قَبلَ خَلقِ العالَمِ، لِنَكُونَ مُقَدَّسِينَ وَطاهِرِينَ أمامَهُ. وَبِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَنا،

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

5 أ رادَ لَنا أنْ نَكُونَ أبناءَهُ بِالتَّبَنِّي بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، وَذَلِكَ وَفْقَ مَشِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي سُرَّ بِها،

having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 و َلِكَي يُحمَدَ عَلَى نِعمَتِهِ المَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي مَيَّزَنا بِها فِي ابنِهِ المَحبُوبِ.

to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:

7 ف َفِي المَسِيحِ تَمَّ فِداؤُنا، وَبِدَمِهِ غُفِرَتْ خَطايانا بِفَضلِ نِعمَتِهِ الغَنِيَّةِ

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

8 ا لَّتِي أفاضَها عَلَينا، فَكانَتْ لَنا حِكمَةً كامِلَةً وَفَهماً عَمِيقاً.

which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

9 ف َقَدْ عَرَّفَنا اللهُ بِمَشِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي كانَتْ سِرّاً فِيما مَضَى. وَهَذا يَتَوافَقُ مَعَ مَسَرَّتِهِ الَّتِي قَصَدَ أنْ يُظهِرَها لَنا فِي المَسِيحِ.

making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

10 ف َهَذا هُوَ المُخَطَّطُ الَّذِي يَتِمُّ فِي الوَقتِ المُناسِبِ، حَيثُ يُجمَعُ كُلُّ شَيءٍ مَعاً فِي المَسِيحِ: ما فِي السَّماءِ وَما عَلَى الأرْضِ.

unto a dispensation of the fulness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things upon the earth; in him, I say,

11 و َفِي المَسِيحِ اختارَنا اللهُ لِنَكونَ فِي شَعبِهِ حَسَبَ قَصدِهِ السّابِقِ، فَهوَ يُنجِزُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ حَسَبَ مَشِيئَتِهِ الحَكِيمَةِ.

in whom also we were made a heritage, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his will;

12 و َهَذا يُشَجِّعُنا نَحنُ الَّذِينَ، كَيَهُودٍ، سَبَقَ أنْ وَضَعنا رَجاءَنا فِي المَسِيحِ عَلَى أنْ نَحيا حَياةً تُؤَدِّي إلَى مَدحِ مَجدِهِ.

to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:

13 و َأنتُمْ أيضاً عِندَما سَمِعْتُمْ رِسالَةَ اللهِ الحَقِيقِيَّةَ الَّتِي هِيَ بِشارَةُ خَلاصِكُمْ، وَآمَنتُمْ بِالمَسِيحِ، خَتَمَكُمُ اللهُ فِي المَسِيحِ بِخَتمِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ المَوعُودِ.

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation,-- in whom, having also believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

14 ف َالرُّوحُ القُدُسُ هُوَ العَربُونُ الَّذِي يَضمَنُ حُصُولَنا عَلَى كُلِّ ما لَنا عِندَ اللهِ، إلَى أنْ يَفتَدِيَنا اللهُ كُلِّيّاً، نَحنُ شَعبَهُ، فَيُؤَدِّي ذَلِكَ إلَى مَدحِ مَجدِهِ. صَلاةُ بُولُس

which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of God's own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

15 ل َقَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْ إيمانِكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَعَنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ لِكُلِّ المُؤمِنِينَ.

For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which ye show toward all the saints,

16 ل ِهَذا لَمْ أتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقدِيمِ الشُّكرِ للهِ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ عِندَما أذكُرُكُمْ فِي صَلَواتِي.

cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

17 و َأنا أُصَلِّي أنْ يُعطِيَكُمْ إلَهُ رَبِّنا يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، الآبُ المَجِيدُ، رُوحَ الحِكْمَةِ وَالإعلانِ فِي مَعرِفَتِهِ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

18 و َأُصَلِّي أنْ تَنفَتِحَ أذهانُكُمْ وَتَستَنِيرَ لِكَي تَعرِفُوا الرَّجاءَ الَّذِي يَدعُوكُمْ إلَيهِ، وَمَدَى غِنَى المِيراثِ المَجِيدِ الَّذِي سَيُعطِيهِ لِكُلِّ شَعبِهِ.

having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 ك َما أُصَلِّي أنْ تُدرِكُوا مَدَى عَظَمَةِ قُوَّتِهِ الَّتِي لا مَثِيلَ لَها، وَالَّتِي تَعمَلُ مِنْ أجلِنا نَحنُ المُؤمِنِينَ. وَهِيَ نَفسُ القُوَّةِ الفائِقَةِ الَّتِي أظهَرَها

and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

20 ع ِندَما أقامَ المَسِيحَ مِنَ المَوتِ، وَأجلَسَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فِي السَّماءِ.

which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

21 ل َقَدْ تُوِّجَ يَسُوعُ فَوقَ كُلِّ حاكِمٍ وَسُلطَةٍ وَقُوَّةٍ وَسِيادَةٍ وَكُلِّ اسْمٍ يَحمِلُ نُفوذاً، لا فِي العَصرِ الحاضِرِ فَحَسبُ، بَلْ فِي العَصرِ الآتِي أيضاً.

far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 و َوَضَعَ اللهُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ تَحتَ سُلطانِ المَسِيحِ، وَجَعَلَهُ رَأْسَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ لِأجلِ الكَنِيسَةِ،

and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

23 ا لَّتِي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ المَملُوءُ بِهِ. وَهُوَ يَملأُ كُلَّ نَقصٍ فِي كُلِّ ناحِيَةٍ.

which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
