3 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、
Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;
4 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、
according as he has chosen us in him before [the] world's foundation, that we should be holy and blameless before him in love;
5 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。
having marked us out beforehand for adoption through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 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。
to [the] praise of [the] glory of his grace, wherein he has taken us into favour in the Beloved:
7 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。
in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of offences, according to the riches of his grace;
8 其恩寵我等に溢れて、諸の智恵及び悟を開けり、
which he has caused to abound towards us in all wisdom and intelligence,
9 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。
having made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself
10 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。
for [the] administration of the fulness of times; to head up all things in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth; in him,
11 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、
in whom we have also obtained an inheritance, being marked out beforehand according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his own will,
12 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。
that we should be to [the] praise of his glory who have pre-trusted in the Christ:
13 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、
in whom ye also [have trusted], having heard the word of the truth, the glad tidings of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, ye have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 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。
who is [the] earnest of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession to [the] praise of his glory.
15 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、
Wherefore I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which [is] in you, and the love which [ye have] towards all the saints,
16 不絶汝等の為に感謝し、我祈祷の中に汝等を記念す。
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you] at my prayers,
17 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、
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you [the] spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of him,
18 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
being enlightened in the eyes of your heart, so that ye should know what is the hope of his calling, [and] what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 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。
and what the surpassing greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of the might of his strength,
20 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、
[in] which he wrought in the Christ [in] raising him from among [the] dead, and he set him down at his right hand in the heavenlies,
above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come; (aiōn g165)
22 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。
and has put all things under his feet, and gave him [to be] head over all things to the assembly,
23 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。
which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all:
