¹بولس رسول يسوع المسيح بمشيئة الله الى القديسين الذين في افسس والمؤمنون في المسيح يسوع

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

²نعمة لكم وسلام من الله ابينا والرب يسوع المسيح

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

³مبارك الله ابو ربنا يسوع المسيح الذي باركنا بكل بركة روحية في السماويات في المسيح

³Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ:

⁴كما اختارنا فيه قبل تأسيس العالم لنكون قديسين وبلا لوم قدامه في المحبة

⁴even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:

⁵اذ سبق فعيّننا للتبني بيسوع المسيح لنفسه حسب مسرة مشيئته

⁵having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

⁶لمدح مجد نعمته التي انعم بها علينا في المحبوب

⁶to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:

⁷الذي فيه لنا الفداء بدمه غفران الخطايا حسب غنى نعمته

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

⁸التي اجزلها لنا بكل حكمة وفطنة

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

⁹اذ عرّفنا بسر مشيئته حسب مسرته التي قصدها في نفسه

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

¹⁰لتدبير ملء الازمنة ليجمع كل شيء في المسيح ما في السموات وما على الارض في ذاك

¹⁰unto 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,]

¹¹الذي فيه ايضا نلنا نصيبا معيّنين سابقا حسب قصد الذي يعمل كل شيء حسب رأي مشيئته

¹¹in 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;

¹²لنكون لمدح مجده نحن الذين قد سبق رجاؤنا في المسيح.

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

¹³الذي فيه ايضا انتم اذ سمعتم كلمة الحق انجيل خلاصكم الذي فيه ايضا اذ آمنتم ختمتم بروح الموعد القدوس

¹³in 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,

¹⁴الذي هو عربون ميراثنا لفداء المقتنى لمدح مجده

¹⁴which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.

¹⁵لذلك انا ايضا اذ قد سمعت بايمانكم بالرب يسوع ومحبتكم نحو جميع القديسين

¹⁵For 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,

¹⁶لا ازال شاكرا لاجلكم ذاكرا اياكم في صلواتي

¹⁶cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;

¹⁷كي يعطيكم اله ربنا يسوع المسيح ابو المجد روح الحكمة والاعلان في معرفته

¹⁷that 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;

¹⁸مستنيرة عيون اذهانكم لتعلموا ما هو رجاء دعوته وما هو غنى مجد ميراثه في القديسين

¹⁸having 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,

¹⁹وما هي عظمة قدرته الفائقة نحونا نحن المؤمنين حسب عمل شدة قوته

¹⁹and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might

²⁰الذي عمله في المسيح اذ اقامه من الاموات واجلسه عن يمينه في السماويات

²⁰which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly [places],

²¹فوق كل رياسة وسلطان وقوة وسيادة وكل اسم يسمى ليس في هذا الدهر فقط بل في المستقبل ايضا

²¹far 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:

²²واخضع كل شيء تحت قدميه واياه جعل راسا فوق كل شيء للكنيسة

²²and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,

²³التي هي جسده ملء الذي يملأ الكل في الكل

²³which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
