1 P aul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

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

2 G race to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

لِتَكُنْ لَكُمُ النِّعمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أبِينا وَمِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ. بَرَكاتٌ رُوحِيَّةٌ فِي المَسِيح

3 B lessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

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

4 e ven as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love;

فَفِي المَسِيحِ، اختارَنا اللهُ قَبلَ خَلقِ العالَمِ، لِنَكُونَ مُقَدَّسِينَ وَطاهِرِينَ أمامَهُ. وَبِسَبَبِ مَحَبَّتِهِ لَنا،

5 h aving predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

أرادَ لَنا أنْ نَكُونَ أبناءَهُ بِالتَّبَنِّي بِيَسُوعَ المَسِيحِ، وَذَلِكَ وَفْقَ مَشِيئَتِهِ الَّتِي سُرَّ بِها،

6 t o the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,

وَلِكَي يُحمَدَ عَلَى نِعمَتِهِ المَجِيدَةِ الَّتِي مَيَّزَنا بِها فِي ابنِهِ المَحبُوبِ.

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

فَفِي المَسِيحِ تَمَّ فِداؤُنا، وَبِدَمِهِ غُفِرَتْ خَطايانا بِفَضلِ نِعمَتِهِ الغَنِيَّةِ

8 w hich he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

الَّتِي أفاضَها عَلَينا، فَكانَتْ لَنا حِكمَةً كامِلَةً وَفَهماً عَمِيقاً.

9 m aking known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

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

10 t o an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Christ, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;

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

11 i n whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who does all things after the counsel of his will;

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

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

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

13 i n whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

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

14 w ho is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of his glory.

فَالرُّوحُ 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

15 F or this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,

لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْ إيمانِكُمْ بِالرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ وَعَنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ لِكُلِّ المُؤمِنِينَ.

16 d on’t cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,

لِهَذا لَمْ أتَوَقَّفْ عَنْ تَقدِيمِ الشُّكرِ للهِ مِنْ أجلِكُمْ عِندَما أذكُرُكُمْ فِي صَلَواتِي.

17 t hat the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;

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

18 h aving the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

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

19 a nd what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

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

20 w hich he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

عِندَما أقامَ المَسِيحَ مِنَ المَوتِ، وَأجلَسَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فِي السَّماءِ.

21 f ar above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

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

22 H e put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,

وَوَضَعَ اللهُ كُلَّ شَيءٍ تَحتَ سُلطانِ المَسِيحِ، وَجَعَلَهُ رَأْسَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ لِأجلِ الكَنِيسَةِ،

23 w hich is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

الَّتِي هِيَ جَسَدُهُ المَملُوءُ بِهِ. وَهُوَ يَملأُ كُلَّ نَقصٍ فِي كُلِّ ناحِيَةٍ.
