افسسیان 1
| پولس به اراده خدا رسول عیسی مسیح، به مقدسینی که در افسس می‌باشند وایمانداران در مسیح عیسی. | ۱ 1 |
To Christ’s people at Ephesus who are faithful to him, from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God.
| فیض و سلامتی از جانب پدر ما خدا وعیسی مسیح خداوند بر شما باد. | ۲ 2 |
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
| متبارک باد خدا و پدر خداوند ما عیسی مسیح که ما را مبارک ساخت به هر برکت روحانی در جایهای آسمانی در مسیح. | ۳ 3 |
Blessed is the God and Father of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who has blessed us on high with every spiritual blessing, in Christ.
| چنانکه ما راپیش از بنیاد عالم در او برگزید تا در حضور او درمحبت مقدس و بی‌عیب باشیم. | ۴ 4 |
For he chose us in our union with Christ before the creation of the universe, so that we might be holy and blameless in his sight, living in the spirit of love.
| که ما را از قبل تعیین نمود تا او را پسر خوانده شویم بوساطت عیسی مسیح برحسب خشنودی اراده خود، | ۵ 5 |
From the first he destined us, in his goodwill towards us, to be adopted as sons through Jesus Christ,
| برای ستایش جلال فیض خود که ما را به آن مستفیض گردانید در آن حبیب. | ۶ 6 |
and so to enhance that glorious manifestation of his loving kindness which he gave us in the one he loves;
| که در وی به‌سبب خون او فدیه یعنی آمرزش گناهان را به اندازه دولت فیض او یافته‌ایم. | ۷ 7 |
for in him, and through the shedding of his blood, we have found redemption in the pardon of our offences.
| که آن را به ما به فراوانی عطا فرمود در حکمت و فطانت. | ۸ 8 |
All this accords with the loving kindness which God lavished on us, accompanied by countless gifts of wisdom and discernment,
| چونکه سر اراده خود را به ما شناسانید، برحسب خشنودی خود که در خود عزم نموده بود، | ۹ 9 |
when he made known to us his hidden purpose. And it also accords with the goodwill which God purposed to exhibit in Christ,
| برای انتظام کمال زمانها تا همه‌چیز را خواه آنچه در آسمان و خواه آنچه بر زمین است، درمسیح جمع کند، یعنی در او. | ۱۰ 10 |
in view of that divine order which was to mark the completion of the ages, when he should make everything, both in heaven and on earth, centre in him.
| که ما نیز در وی میراث او شده‌ایم، چنانکه پیش معین گشتیم برحسب قصد او. که همه‌چیزها را موافق رای اراده خود می‌کند. | ۱۱ 11 |
In him, I say, for by our union with him we became God’s heritage, having from the first been destined for this in the intention of him who, in all that happens, is carrying out his own fixed purpose;
| تا از ما که اول امیدوار به مسیح می‌بودیم، جلال او ستوده شود. | ۱۲ 12 |
that we should enhance his glory – we who have been the first to rest our hopes on the Christ.
| و دروی شما نیز چون کلام راستی، یعنی بشارت نجات خود را شنیدید، در وی چون ایمان آوردید، از روح قدوس وعده مختوم شدید. | ۱۳ 13 |
And you, too, by your union with him, after you had heard the message of the truth, the good news of your salvation – you believed in him and were sealed as his by receiving the holy Spirit, which he had promised.
| که بیعانه میراث ما است برای فدای آن ملک خاص او تا جلال او ستوده شود. | ۱۴ 14 |
And the Spirit is a pledge of our future heritage, foreshadowing the full redemption of God’s own people – to enhance his glory.
| بنابراین، من نیز چون خبر ایمان شما را درعیسی خداوند ومحبت شما را با همه مقدسین شنیدم، | ۱۵ 15 |
And therefore I, ever since I heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which prevails among you, and of your confidence in all Christ’s people,
| باز نمی ایستم از شکر نمودن برای شما و از یاد آوردن شما در دعاهای خود، | ۱۶ 16 |
have never omitted to thank God on your behalf, whenever I make mention of you in my prayers.
| تاخدای خداوند ما عیسی مسیح که پدر ذوالجلال است، روح حکمت و کشف را در معرفت خود به شما عطا فرماید. | ۱۷ 17 |
My prayer is that the God of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all-glorious Father, may inspire you with wisdom and true insight through a fuller knowledge of himself;
| تا چشمان دل شما روشن گشته، بدانید که امید دعوت او چیست و کدام است دولت جلال میراث او در مقدسین، | ۱۸ 18 |
that your minds may be so enlightened that you may realise the hope given by God’s call, the wealth of the glory of his heritage among Christ’s people,
| و چه مقدار است عظمت بینهایت قوت او نسبت به مامومنین برحسب عمل توانایی قوت او | ۱۹ 19 |
and the transcendent greatness of the power which he is able to exercise in dealing with us who believe in him.
| که درمسیح عمل کرد چون او را از مردگان برخیزانید وبه‌دست راست خود در جایهای آسمانی نشانید، | ۲۰ 20 |
The same mighty power was exerted on the Christ, when he raised the Christ from the dead and “caused him to sit at his right hand” on high, exalting him above all angels and archangels of every rank,
| بالاتر از هر ریاست و قدرت و قوت و سلطنت و هر نامی که خوانده می‌شود، نه در این عالم فقطبلکه در عالم آینده نیز. (aiōn g165) | ۲۱ 21 |
and above every name that can be named, whether in the present age, or in the age to come. (aiōn g165)
| و همه‌چیز را زیر پایهای او نهاد و او را سرهمه‌چیز به کلیسا داد، | ۲۲ 22 |
And God placed all things under Christ’s feet, and gave him to the church as its supreme head;
| که بدن اوست یعنی پری او که همه را در همه پر می‌سازد. | ۲۳ 23 |
for the church is Christ’s body, and is filled by him who fills all things everywhere with his presence.
