Ephesians 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Messiah Jesus through the will of God, to the saints (in Ephesus) who are faithful in Messiah Jesus:
神の思召によりてイエズス、キリストの使徒たるパウロ、エフェゾに在る（凡ての）聖徒、並にキリスト、イエズスに於る信徒に[書簡を贈る]。
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
願はくは我父にて在す神及び主イエズス、キリストより、恩寵と平安とを汝等に賜はらん事を。
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah;
第一項 エフェゾ信徒の為に感謝し祈祷す 第一編 聖會の比なき光榮 祝すべき哉、我主イエズス、キリストの神及び父、是はキリストに於て諸の霊的祝福を以て我等を天より祝し給ひ、
4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;
御前に於て聖にして汚なき者たらしめんとて、寵愛を以て、世界開闢以前よりキリストによりて選み給ひ、
5 having predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus (the) Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,
思召のまにまに、イエズス、キリストを以て己が子とならしめん事を預定し給ひたればなり。
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved One,
是最愛なる御子に於て我等に賜ひし榮光ある恩寵の誉の為なり。
7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
我等が贖を得、罪の赦を得るは、キリストに在りて其御血によれり、即ち神の豊なる恩寵に由れるなり。
8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
其恩寵我等に溢れて、諸の智恵及び悟を開けり、
9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him
是御旨に從ひて、キリストを以て預定し給ひし思召の奥義を、我等に諭し給はん為なり。
10 to an administration of the fullness of the times, to sum up all things in Messiah, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, in him;
此思召は、時期の満つるに及びて一切のもの、即ち天に在るものをも地に在るものをも悉くキリストに於て一の首の下に輯め給ふに在り。
11 in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;
我等もキリストに於て選まれ、思召す儘に萬事を行ひ給ふものの量に從ひて預定せられたり、
12 to the end that we should be to the praise of his glory, we who had before hoped in Messiah:
是先んじてキリストを希望せし我等が、其光榮の誉とならん為なり。
13 in whom you also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation, —in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
汝等も亦キリストに於て、眞理の言なる汝等の救霊の福音を聞き、且之を信じて約束せられ給ひたりし聖霊を以て證印せられしが、
14 who is a pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of his glory.
之汝等の世嗣の保證として、獲られたる人々の贖となり、其光榮の誉と成らん為に賜はりたるなり。
15 For this cause I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you, and the love which you have toward all the saints,
故に我も、主イエズスに於る汝等の信仰と、凡ての聖徒に對する愛情とを聞きて、
16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
不絶汝等の為に感謝し、我祈祷の中に汝等を記念す。
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him;
祈る所は我主イエズス、キリストの神、光榮の父が、汝等に知識と黙示との霊を賜ひて神を識らしめ、
18 having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
汝等の心の眼を明にして、其召によれる希望の如何を識らしめ、聖徒等に賜ふべき世嗣の光榮富の如何を識らしめ
19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might
其全能の勢力の作為によりて、信奉る我等に於て、其勢力の如何に優れて偉大なるかを識らしめ給はん事是なり。
20 which he worked in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,
其勢力をキリストに於て顕し、之を死者の中より復活せしめ、天に於て之を己の右に置き、
21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. (aiōn g165)
一切の権勢と能力と、勢力と主権との上、又凡て今世のみならず來世にも名けられて名[あるもの]の上に置き給ひ、 (aiōn g165)
22 He put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the church,
萬物を其御足の下に服せしめ、教會の萬事の上に頭となし給へり。
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
即ち教會はキリストの御體にして、萬物に萬事を満たし給へるものの充満ち給ふ所なり。
