وَأَنْتُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا بِٱلذُّنُوبِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا، ١ 1
You were dead in the trespasses 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 you once walked when you followed the ways of this world and the ruler of the realm of the air, the spirit that is now at work 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 them we all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, carrying out the desires of our flesh and our impulses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ غَنِيٌّ فِي ٱلرَّحْمَةِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَحَبَّتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَبَّنَا بِهَا، ٤ 4
Yet God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,
وَنَحْنُ أَمْوَاتٌ بِٱلْخَطَايَا أَحْيَانَا مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ - بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ أَنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ - ٥ 5
made us alive together with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses—by grace you have been saved.
وَأَقَامَنَا مَعَهُ، وَأَجْلَسَنَا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، ٦ 6
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
لِيُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلدُّهُورِ ٱلْآتِيَةِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ ٱلْفَائِقَ، بِٱللُّطْفِ عَلَيْنَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. (aiōn g165) ٧ 7
so that in the ages to come he might show the surpassing riches of his grace through his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ مُخَلَّصُونَ، بِٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَذَلِكَ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ. هُوَ عَطِيَّةُ ٱللهِ. ٨ 8
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
لَيْسَ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ كَيْلَا يَفْتَخِرَ أَحَدٌ. ٩ 9
not by works, so that no one may boast.
لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَمَلُهُ، مَخْلُوقِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لِأَعْمَالٍ صَالِحَةٍ، قَدْ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِكَيْ نَسْلُكَ فِيهَا. ١٠ 10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
لِذَلِكَ ٱذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ قَبْلًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ غُرْلَةً مِنَ ٱلْمَدْعُوِّ خِتَانًا مَصْنُوعًا بِٱلْيَدِ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، ١١ 11
Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “the uncircumcision” by those who call themselves “the circumcision,” which is made in the flesh by hands—
أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ بِدُونِ مَسِيحٍ، أَجْنَبِيِّينَ عَنْ رَعَوِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغُرَبَاءَ عَنْ عُهُودِ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ، لَا رَجَاءَ لَكُمْ، وَبِلَا إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. ١٢ 12
remember that you were apart from Christ at that time, excluded from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the 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 you who were once far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَلَامُنَا، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ وَاحِدًا، وَنَقَضَ حَائِطَ ٱلسِّيَاجِ ٱلْمُتَوَسِّطَ، ١٤ 14
For he is our peace, who has united both the Jews and Gentiles into one people and has broken down the wall of hostility that divided us.
أَيِ ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ. مُبْطِلًا بِجَسَدِهِ نَامُوسَ ٱلْوَصَايَا فِي فَرَائِضَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُقَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي نَفْسِهِ إِنْسَانًا وَاحِدًا جَدِيدًا، صَانِعًا سَلَامًا، ١٥ 15
He did this by abolishing the law with its commandments and ordinances in order to make peace between the two groups and create in himself one new people.
وَيُصَالِحَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ ٱللهِ بِٱلصَّلِيبِ، قَاتِلًا ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ بِهِ. ١٦ 16
He reconciled both groups to God in one body through the cross, by which he put the hostility to death.
فَجَاءَ وَبَشَّرَكُمْ بِسَلَامٍ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ وَٱلْقَرِيبِينَ. ١٧ 17
He came and preached the good news of peace to you who were far away and to those who were near.
لِأَنَّ بِهِ لَنَا كِلَيْنَا قُدُومًا فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ. ١٨ 18
For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
فَلَسْتُمْ إِذًا بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ وَنُزُلًا، بَلْ رَعِيَّةٌ مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، ١٩ 19
So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
مَبْنِيِّينَ عَلَى أَسَاسِ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَيَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ نَفْسُهُ حَجَرُ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، ٢٠ 20
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ كُلُّ ٱلْبِنَاءِ مُرَكَّبًا مَعًا، يَنْمُو هَيْكَلًا مُقَدَّسًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. ٢١ 21
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.
ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيُّونَ مَعًا، مَسْكَنًا لِلهِ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. ٢٢ 22
And in him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
