وَأَنْتُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا بِٱلذُّنُوبِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا، ١ 1
and you, being dead in your offences and sins —
ٱلَّتِي سَلَكْتُمْ فِيهَا قَبْلًا حَسَبَ دَهْرِ هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، حَسَبَ رَئِيسِ سُلْطَانِ ٱلْهَوَاءِ، ٱلرُّوحِ ٱلَّذِي يَعْمَلُ ٱلْآنَ فِي أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ، (aiōn g165) ٢ 2
in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
ٱلَّذِينَ نَحْنُ أَيْضًا جَمِيعًا تَصَرَّفْنَا قَبْلًا بَيْنَهُمْ فِي شَهَوَاتِ جَسَدِنَا، عَامِلِينَ مَشِيئَاتِ ٱلْجَسَدِ وَٱلْأَفْكَارِ، وَكُنَّا بِٱلطَّبِيعَةِ أَبْنَاءَ ٱلْغَضَبِ كَٱلْبَاقِينَ أَيْضًا، ٣ 3
among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:
ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ غَنِيٌّ فِي ٱلرَّحْمَةِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَحَبَّتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَبَّنَا بِهَا، ٤ 4
but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
وَنَحْنُ أَمْوَاتٌ بِٱلْخَطَايَا أَحْيَانَا مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ - بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ أَنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ - ٥ 5
(we too being dead in offences, ) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace, )
وَأَقَامَنَا مَعَهُ، وَأَجْلَسَنَا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٦ 6
and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
لِيُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلدُّهُورِ ٱلْآتِيَةِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ ٱلْفَائِقَ، بِٱللُّطْفِ عَلَيْنَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. (aiōn g165) ٧ 7
that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ مُخَلَّصُونَ، بِٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَذَلِكَ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ. هُوَ عَطِيَّةُ ٱللهِ. ٨ 8
For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
لَيْسَ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ كَيْلَا يَفْتَخِرَ أَحَدٌ. ٩ 9
not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَمَلُهُ، مَخْلُوقِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لِأَعْمَالٍ صَالِحَةٍ، قَدْ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِكَيْ نَسْلُكَ فِيهَا. ١٠ 10
For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
لِذَلِكَ ٱذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ قَبْلًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ غُرْلَةً مِنَ ٱلْمَدْعُوِّ خِتَانًا مَصْنُوعًا بِٱلْيَدِ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، ١١ 11
Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;
أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ بِدُونِ مَسِيحٍ، أَجْنَبِيِّينَ عَنْ رَعَوِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغُرَبَاءَ عَنْ عُهُودِ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ، لَا رَجَاءَ لَكُمْ، وَبِلَا إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. ١٢ 12
that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
وَلَكِنِ ٱلْآنَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنْتُمْ قَبْلًا بَعِيدِينَ، صِرْتُمْ قَرِيبِينَ بِدَمِ ٱلْمَسِيحِ. ١٣ 13
but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَلَامُنَا، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ وَاحِدًا، وَنَقَضَ حَائِطَ ٱلسِّيَاجِ ٱلْمُتَوَسِّطَ، ١٤ 14
For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,
أَيِ ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ. مُبْطِلًا بِجَسَدِهِ نَامُوسَ ٱلْوَصَايَا فِي فَرَائِضَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُقَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي نَفْسِهِ إِنْسَانًا وَاحِدًا جَدِيدًا، صَانِعًا سَلَامًا، ١٥ 15
having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
وَيُصَالِحَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ ٱللهِ بِٱلصَّلِيبِ، قَاتِلًا ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ بِهِ. ١٦ 16
and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;
فَجَاءَ وَبَشَّرَكُمْ بِسَلَامٍ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ وَٱلْقَرِيبِينَ. ١٧ 17
and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.
لِأَنَّ بِهِ لَنَا كِلَيْنَا قُدُومًا فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ. ١٨ 18
For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.
فَلَسْتُمْ إِذًا بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ وَنُزُلًا، بَلْ رَعِيَّةٌ مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ١٩ 19
So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,
مَبْنِيِّينَ عَلَى أَسَاسِ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَيَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ نَفْسُهُ حَجَرُ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، ٢٠ 20
being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ كُلُّ ٱلْبِنَاءِ مُرَكَّبًا مَعًا، يَنْمُو هَيْكَلًا مُقَدَّسًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢١ 21
in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيُّونَ مَعًا، مَسْكَنًا لِلهِ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. ٢٢ 22
in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
