1 פּוֹלוֹס שְׁלִיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים אֶל־הַקְּדשִׁים הַנִּמְצָאִים בְּאֶפְסוֹס וּמַאֲמִינִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ | 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus: |
2 חֶסֶד לָכֶם וְשָׁלוֹם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ | 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3 בָּרוּךְ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים וַאֲבִי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר בֵּרְכָנוּ בְּכָל־בִּרְכַּת רוּחַ בַּמְּרוֹמִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ | 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: |
4 כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּחַר אֹתָנוּ בוֹ לִפְנֵי מוֹסְדוֹת תֵּבֵל לִהְיוֹת קְדשִׁים וּתְמִימִים לְפָנָיו בְּאַהֲבָה | 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: |
5 יְעָדָנוּ לוֹ לְבָנִים עַל־יְדֵי יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ כְּחֵפֶץ רְצוֹנוֹ | 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, |
6 לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹד חַסְדּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־חָנַן אֹתָנוּ בִּידִידוֹ | 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. |
7 אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ לָנוּ הַפִּדְיוֹן בְּדָמוֹ וּסְלִיחַת הַפְּשָׁעִים כְּרֹב חַסְדּוֹ | 7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; |
8 אֲשֶׁר הִרְעִיף עָלֵינוּ בְּשֶׁפַע בְּכָל־חָכְמָה וְהַשְׂכֵּל | 8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; |
9 וְהוֹדִיעָנוּ אֶת־סוֹד רְצוֹנוֹ כַּעֲצָתוֹ הַיְעוּצָה בוֹ | 9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: |
10 עַל־דְּבַר הַנְהָגָתוֹ בִּמְלֹאת הָעִתִּים לְקַבֵּץ אֶת־הַכֹּל תַּחַת הַמָּשִׁיחַ הֵן מַה־שֶּׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם הֵן מַה־שֶּׁבָּאָרֶץ | 10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: |
11 אֲשֶׁר־גַּם לָקַחְנוּ בוֹ נַחֲלָתֵנוּ אֲנַחְנוּ הַמְיֻעָדִים לָהּ מֵאָז בְּמַחֲשֶׁבֶת פֹּעֵל הַכֹּל כַּעֲצַת חֶפְצוֹ | 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: |
12 לִהְיוֹתֵנוּ לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ אֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ אֶל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֵאָז | 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. |
13 וַאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם נְטוּעִים בּוֹ אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעֲכֶם דְּבַר הָאֱמֶת אֶת־בְּשׂוֹרַת יְשׁוּעַתְכֶם וַאֲשֶׁר בּוֹ כְּשֶׁהֶאֱמַנְתֶּם גַּם־נֶחְתַּמְתֶּם בְּרוּחַ הַהַבְטָחָה רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ | 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, |
14 כִּי זֶה עֶרְבוֹן יְרֻשָּׁתֵנוּ לִפְדוֹת־לוֹ עַם סְגֻלָּה לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ | 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. |
15 בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת גַּם־אָנֹכִי אַחֲרֵי שָׁמְעִי אֱמוּנַתְכֶם בַּאֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ וְהָאַהֲבָה אֲשֶׁר־אֲהַבְתֶּם אֶת־כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים | 15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, |
16 לֹא אֶחְדַּל מֵהוֹדוֹת בַּעֲבוּרְכֶם בְּהַזְכִּירִי אֶתְכֶם בִּתְפִלֹּתָי | 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; |
17 כִּי־יִתֵּן לָכֶם אֱלֹהֵי אֲדֹנֵינוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲבִי הַכָּבוֹד אֶת־רוּחַ הַחָכְמָה וְהֶחָזוֹן לָדַעַת אֹתוֹ | 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: |
18 וְיָאֵר עֵינֵי לְבַבְכֶם לְמַעַן תֵּדְעוּ אֵיזוֹ הִיא תּוֹחֶלֶת קְרִיאָתוֹ וְאֵיזֶה הוּא עשֶׁר כְּבוֹד נַחֲלָתוֹ בַּקְּדשִׁים | 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, |
19 וְאֵיזֶה הוּא יִתְרוֹן גְּדֻלַּת גְּבוּרָתוֹ בָּנוּ הַמַּאֲמִינִים כְּפִי פְעֻלַּת עֹצֶם כֹּחוֹ | 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, |
20 אֲשֶׁר פָּעַל בַּמָּשִׁיחַ בְּהָעִיר אֹתוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים וַיּוֹשִׁיבֶנּוּ לִימִינוֹ בַּמְּרוֹמִים | 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, |
21 מִמַּעַל לְכָל־שְׂרָרָה וְשָׁלְטָן וּגְבוּרָה וּמֶמְשָׁלָה וְכֹל הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם לֹא־לְבַד בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה כִּי אִם־גַּם בָּעוֹלָם הַבָּא | 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: |
22 וַיָּשֶׁת כֹּל תַּחַת רַגְלָיו וַיִּתֵּן אֹתוֹ לְרֹאשׁ עַל־הַכֹּל אֶל־הָעֵדָה | 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, |
23 אֲשֶׁר הִיא גּוּפוֹ מְלוֹא הַמְמַלֵּא אֶת־הַכֹּל בַּכֹּל | 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. |
