Ephesians 1

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Paul, by the will of God an apostle of Christ Jesus, to God's holy people, faithful in Christ Jesus.	1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים אֶל־הַקְּדשִׁים הַנִּמְצָאִים בְּאֶפְסוֹס וּמַאֲמִינִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	2 חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ
3 Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all the spiritual blessingsof heaven in Christ.	3 בָּרוּךְ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים וַאֲבִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר בֵּרְכָנוּ בְּכָל־בִּרְכַּת רוּחַ בַּמְּרוֹמִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ
4 Thus he chose us in Christ before the world was made to be holy and faultless before him in love,	4 כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּחַר אֹתָנוּ בוֹ לִפְנֵי מוֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל לִהְיוֹת קְדשִׁים וּתְמִימִים לְפָנָיו בְּאַהֲבָה
5 marking us out for himself beforehand, to be adopted sons, through Jesus Christ. Such was hispurpose and good pleasure,	5 יְעָדָנוּ לוֹ לְבָנִים עַל־יְדֵי יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ כְּחֵפֶץ רְצוֹנוֹ
6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, his free gift to us in the Beloved,	6 לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹד חַסְדּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־חָנַן אֹתָנוּ בִּידִידוֹ
7 in whom, through his blood, we gain our freedom, the forgiveness of our sins. Such is the richness ofthe grace	7 אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ לָנוּ הַפִּדְיוֹן בְּדָמוֹ וּסְלִיחַת הַפְּשָׁעִים כְּרֹב חַסְדּוֹ
8 which he has showered on us in al wisdom and insight.	8 אֲשֶׁר הִרְעִיף עָלֵינוּ בְּשֶׁפַע בְּכָל־חָכְמָה וְהַשְׂכֵּל
9 He has let us know the mystery of his purpose, according to his good pleasure which he determinedbeforehand in Christ,	9 וְהוֹדִיעָנוּ אֶת־סוֹד רְצוֹנוֹ כַּעֲצָתוֹ הַיְעוּצָה בוֹ
10 for him to act upon when the times had run their course: that he would bring everything together underChrist, as head, everything in the heavens and everything on earth.	10 עַל־דְּבַר הַנְהָגָתוֹ בִּמְלֹאת הָעִתִּים לְקַבֵּץ אֶת־הַכֹּל תַּחַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הֵן מַה־שֶּׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם הֵן מַה־שֶּׁבָּאָרֶץ
11 And it is in him that we have received our heritage, marked out beforehand as we were, under the planof the One who guides al things as he decides by his own wil ,	11 אֲשֶׁר־גַּם לָקַחְנוּ בוֹ נַחֲלָתֵנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ הַמְיֻעָדִים לָהּ מֵאָז בְּמַחֲשֶׁבֶת פֹּעֵל הַכֹּל כַּעֲצַת חֶפְצוֹ
12 chosen to be, for the praise of his glory, the people who would put their hopes in Christ before hecame.	12 לִהְיוֹתֵנוּ לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ אֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֵאָז
13 Now you too, in him, have heard the message of the truth and the gospel of your salvation, and havingput your trust in it you have been stamped with the seal of the Holy Spirit of the Promise,	13 וַאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם נְטוּעִים בּוֹ אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעֲכֶם דְּבַר הָאֱמֶת אֶת־בְּשׂוֹרַת יְשׁוּעַתְכֶם וַאֲשֶׁר בּוֹ כְּשֶׁהֶאֱמַנְתֶּם גַּם־נֶחְתַּמְתֶּם בְּרוּחַ הַהַבְטָחָה רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ
14 who is the pledge of our inheritance, for the freedom of the people whom God has taken for his own,for the praise of his glory.	14 כִּי זֶה עֶרְבוֹן יְרֻשָּׁתֵנוּ לִפְדוֹת־לוֹ עַם סְגֻלָּה לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ
15 That is why I, having once heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus, and your love for al God's holypeople,	15 בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת גַּם־אָנֹכִי אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעִי אֱמוּנַתְכֶם בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ וְהָאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר־אֲהַבְתֶּם אֶת־כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים
16 have never failed to thank God for you and to remember you in my prayers.	16 לֹא אֶחְדַּל מֵהוֹדוֹת בַּעֲבוּרְכֶם בְּהַזְכִּירִי אֶתְכֶם בִּתְפִלֹּתָי
17 May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perceptionof what is revealed, to bring you to ful knowledge of him.	17 כִּי־יִתֵּן לָכֶם אֱלֹהֵי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲבִי הַכָּבוֹד אֶת־רוּחַ הַחָכְמָה וְהֶחָזוֹן לָדַעַת אֹתוֹ
18 May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his cal holds for you, how richis the glory of the heritage he offers among his holy people,	18 וְיָאֵר עֵינֵי לְבַבְכֶם לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּ אֵיזוֹ הִיא תּוֹחֶלֶת קְרִיאָתוֹ וְאֵיזֶה הוּא עשֶׁר כְּבוֹד נַחֲלָתוֹ בַּקְּדשִׁים
19 and how extraordinarily great is the power that he has exercised for us believers; this accords with thestrength of his power	19 וְאֵיזֶה הוּא יִתְרוֹן גְּדֻלַּת גְּבוּרָתוֹ בָּנוּ הַמַּאֲמִינִים כְּפִי פְעֻלַּת עֹצֶם כֹּחוֹ
20 at work in Christ, the power which he exercised in raising him from the dead and enthroning him at hisright hand, in heaven,	20 אֲשֶׁר פָּעַל בַּמָּשִׁיחַ בְּהָעִיר אֹתוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים וַיּוֹשִׁיבֶנּוּ לִימִינוֹ בַּמְּרוֹמִים
21 far above every principality, ruling force, power or sovereignty, or any other name that can be named,not only in this age but also in the age to come.	21 מִמַּעַל לְכָל־שְׂרָרָה וְשָׁלְטָן וּגְבוּרָה וּמֶמְשָׁלָה וְכֹל הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם לֹא־לְבַד בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה כִּי אִם־גַּם בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא
22 He has put al things under his feet, and made him, as he is above all things, the head of the Church;	22 וַיָּשֶׁת כֹּל תַּחַת רַגְלָיו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ לְרֹאשׁ עַל־הַכֹּל אֶל־הָעֵדָה
23 which is his Body, the ful ness of him who is fil ed, al in al .	23 אֲשֶׁר הִיא גּוּפוֹ מְלוֹא הַמְמַלֵּא אֶת־הַכֹּל בַּכֹּל
