أفَسُس 2
| وَأَنْتُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَمْوَاتًا بِٱلذُّنُوبِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا، | ١ 1 |
To you Gentiles also, who were dead through 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 |
which were once habitual to you while you walked in the ways of this world and obeyed the Prince of the powers of the air, the spirits that are now at work in the hearts of the sons of disobedience--to you God has given Life. (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 all of us also formerly passed our lives, governed by the inclinations of our lower natures, indulging the cravings of those natures and of our own thoughts, and were in our original state deserving of anger like all others.
| ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ غَنِيٌّ فِي ٱلرَّحْمَةِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ مَحَبَّتِهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَحَبَّنَا بِهَا، | ٤ 4 |
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,
| وَنَحْنُ أَمْوَاتٌ بِٱلْخَطَايَا أَحْيَانَا مَعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ - بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ أَنْتُمْ مُخَلَّصُونَ - | ٥ 5 |
caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ--it is by grace that you have been saved--
| وَأَقَامَنَا مَعَهُ، وَأَجْلَسَنَا مَعَهُ فِي ٱلسَّمَاوِيَّاتِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ، | ٦ 6 |
raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus,
| لِيُظْهِرَ فِي ٱلدُّهُورِ ٱلْآتِيَةِ غِنَى نِعْمَتِهِ ٱلْفَائِقَ، بِٱللُّطْفِ عَلَيْنَا فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. (aiōn g165) | ٧ 7 |
in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. (aiōn g165)
| لِأَنَّكُمْ بِٱلنِّعْمَةِ مُخَلَّصُونَ، بِٱلْإِيمَانِ، وَذَلِكَ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ. هُوَ عَطِيَّةُ ٱللهِ. | ٨ 8 |
For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves. It is God's gift, and is not on the ground of merit--
| لَيْسَ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ كَيْلَا يَفْتَخِرَ أَحَدٌ. | ٩ 9 |
so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.
| لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ عَمَلُهُ، مَخْلُوقِينَ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ لِأَعْمَالٍ صَالِحَةٍ، قَدْ سَبَقَ ٱللهُ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِكَيْ نَسْلُكَ فِيهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
For we are God's own handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works which He has pre-destined us to practise.
| لِذَلِكَ ٱذْكُرُوا أَنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمُ ٱلْأُمَمُ قَبْلًا فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، ٱلْمَدْعُوِّينَ غُرْلَةً مِنَ ٱلْمَدْعُوِّ خِتَانًا مَصْنُوعًا بِٱلْيَدِ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، | ١١ 11 |
Therefore, do not forget that formerly you were Gentiles as to your bodily condition. You were called the Uncircumcision by those who style themselves the Circumcised--their circumcision being one which the knife has effected.
| أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ بِدُونِ مَسِيحٍ، أَجْنَبِيِّينَ عَنْ رَعَوِيَّةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَغُرَبَاءَ عَنْ عُهُودِ ٱلْمَوْعِدِ، لَا رَجَاءَ لَكُمْ، وَبِلَا إِلَهٍ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
At that time you were living apart from Christ, estranged from the Commonwealth of Israel, with no share by birth in the Covenants which are based on the Promises, and you had no hope and no God, in all 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 once were so far away have been brought near through the death of Christ.
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ سَلَامُنَا، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ وَاحِدًا، وَنَقَضَ حَائِطَ ٱلسِّيَاجِ ٱلْمُتَوَسِّطَ، | ١٤ 14 |
For He is our peace--He who has made Jews and Gentiles one, and in His own human nature has broken down the hostile dividing wall,
| أَيِ ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ. مُبْطِلًا بِجَسَدِهِ نَامُوسَ ٱلْوَصَايَا فِي فَرَائِضَ، لِكَيْ يَخْلُقَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي نَفْسِهِ إِنْسَانًا وَاحِدًا جَدِيدًا، صَانِعًا سَلَامًا، | ١٥ 15 |
by setting aside the Law with its commandments, expressed, as they were, in definite decrees. His design was to unite the two sections of humanity in Himself so as to form one new man,
| وَيُصَالِحَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْنِ فِي جَسَدٍ وَاحِدٍ مَعَ ٱللهِ بِٱلصَّلِيبِ، قَاتِلًا ٱلْعَدَاوَةَ بِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
thus effecting peace, and to reconcile Jews and Gentiles in one body to God, by means of His cross--slaying by it their mutual enmity.
| فَجَاءَ وَبَشَّرَكُمْ بِسَلَامٍ، أَنْتُمُ ٱلْبَعِيدِينَ وَٱلْقَرِيبِينَ. | ١٧ 17 |
So He came and proclaimed good news of peace to you who were so far away, and peace to those who were near;
| لِأَنَّ بِهِ لَنَا كِلَيْنَا قُدُومًا فِي رُوحٍ وَاحِدٍ إِلَى ٱلْآبِ. | ١٨ 18 |
because it is through Him that Jews and Gentiles alike have access through one Spirit to the Father.
| فَلَسْتُمْ إِذًا بَعْدُ غُرَبَاءَ وَنُزُلًا، بَلْ رَعِيَّةٌ مَعَ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ ٱللهِ، | ١٩ 19 |
You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons excluded from civil rights. On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people and are members of His family.
| مَبْنِيِّينَ عَلَى أَسَاسِ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَيَسُوعُ ٱلْمَسِيحُ نَفْسُهُ حَجَرُ ٱلزَّاوِيَةِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
You are a building which has been reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself,
| ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ كُلُّ ٱلْبِنَاءِ مُرَكَّبًا مَعًا، يَنْمُو هَيْكَلًا مُقَدَّسًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
in union with whom the whole fabric, fitted and closely joined together, is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord;
| ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ أَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا مَبْنِيُّونَ مَعًا، مَسْكَنًا لِلهِ فِي ٱلرُّوحِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
in whom you also are being built up together to become a fixed abode for God through the Spirit.
