Ephesians

1

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints that are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:
1ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܦܤܘܤ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܘܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
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:
3ܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܪܟܢ ܒܟܠ ܒܘܪܟܢ ܕܪܘܚ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
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:
4ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܓܒܢ ܒܗ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܩܕܡ ܪܫܡܢ ܠܗ ܀
5having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
5ܘܤܡܢ ܠܒܢܝܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܫܦܪ ܠܨܒܝܢܗ ܀
6to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved:
6ܕܢܫܬܒܚ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܫܦܥ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܚܒܝܒܗ ܀
7in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
7ܕܒܗ ܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܒܕܡܗ ܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܕܚܛܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܀
8which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
8ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܬܪܬ ܒܢ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܒܟܠ ܤܘܟܠ ܀
9making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
9ܘܐܘܕܥܢ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ܤܡ ܕܢܤܥܘܪ ܒܗ ܀
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,]
10ܠܡܕܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܕܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܢܬܚܕܬ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܀
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;
11ܘܒܗ ܚܢܢ ܐܬܓܒܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܕܡ ܪܫܡܢ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܠ ܤܥܪ ܐܝܟ ܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܗ ܀
12to the end that we should be unto the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Christ:
12ܕܢܗܘܐ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܕܡܢ ܤܒܪܢ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܗܕܪܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܀
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,
13ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܚܝܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܗ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܘܐܬܚܬܡܬܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܡܠܝܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܀
14which is an earnest of our inheritance, unto the redemption of [God's] own possession, unto the praise of his glory.
14ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܪܗܒܘܢܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܢ ܠܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܐܝܢ ܘܠܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܗ ܀
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,
15ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
16cease not to give thanks for you, making mention [of you] in my prayers;
16ܠܐ ܡܫܬܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܘܕܝܘ ܥܠ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܥܗܕܟܘܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܝ ܀
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;
17ܕܐܠܗܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܒܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܕܓܠܝܢܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܗ ܀
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,
18ܘܢܢܗܪܢ ܥܝܢܐ ܕܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܩܪܝܢܗ ܘܡܢܘ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܒܩܕܝܫܐ ܀
19and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
19ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܝܬܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ ܒܢ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܥܒܕܢܘܬܐ ܕܬܘܩܦܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ ܀
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],
20ܕܥܒܕ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܐܘܬܒܗ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀
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:
21ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܪܟܘܤ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܘܡܪܘܬܐ ܘܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܫܡ ܕܡܫܬܡܗ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܒܕܥܬܝܕ ܀
22and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
22ܘܫܥܒܕ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܠܥܠ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܝܗܒܗ ܪܫܐ ܠܥܕܬܐ ܀
23which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
23ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܓܘܫܡܗ ܘܫܘܡܠܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܟܠ ܒܟܠ ܡܫܡܠܐ ܀
