אִגֶּרֶת שָׁאוּל אֶל הָאֶפֶסִים(Ephesians) 1
1 מֵאֵת שָׁאוּל, שְׁלִיחַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ בִּרְצוֹן אֱלֹהִים, אֶל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר [בְּאֶפֶסוֹס], הַמַּאֲמִינִים 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 וְשָׁלוֹם לָכֶם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים אָבִינוּ וְהָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ.
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 בָּרוּךְ הָאֱלֹהִים אֲבִי אֲדוֹנֵנוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ, אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֵךְ אוֹתָנוּ בְּכָל בְּרָכָה רוּחָנִית בַּשָּׁמַיִם, 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 כְּשֵׁם שֶׁבָּחַר אוֹתָנוּ בּוֹ בְּטֶרֶם הִוָּסֵד תֵּבֵל, לִהְיוֹת קְדוֹשִׁים וּבְלִי דֹּפִי 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 הוּא יָעַד אוֹתָנוּ לִהְיוֹת 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 כָּבוֹד עַל חַסְדּוֹ אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱנִיק לָנוּ בַּאֲהוּבוֹ,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 שֶׁבְּדָמוֹ יֵשׁ לָנוּ הַפְּדוּת, סְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים כְּפִי עֹשֶׁר חֶסֶד הָאֱלֹהִים.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 אֶת הַחֶסֶד הַזֶּה הוּא הִשְׁפִּיעַ עָלֵינוּ בִּמְלוֹא חָכְמָה וּבִינָה,
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 וְהוֹדִיעַ לָנוּ אֶת סוֹד רְצוֹנוֹ כְּפִי חֶפְצוֹ, אֶת הַתָּכְנִית שֶׁהִקְדִּים וְעָרַךְ בּוֹ -
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10 הַתָּכְנִית לְקַבֵּץ אֶת הַכֹּל בַּמָּשִׁיחַ בִּמְלֹאת הָעִתִּים, אֶת מַה שֶּׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת 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 וּבוֹ נוֹעֲדָה לָנוּ נַחֲלָה, כִּי נִבְחַרְנוּ מֵרֹאשׁ לְפִי תָּכְנִיתוֹ שֶׁל הַפּוֹעֵל בַּכֹּל בְּהֶתְאֵם לְמַחֲשֶׁבֶת רְצוֹנוֹ,
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 כְּדֵי שֶׁנִּהְיֶה לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ, אָנוּ הַמַּקְדִּימִים לְקַוּוֹת לַמָּשִׁיחַ.
12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 וּבוֹ נַחֲלַתְכֶם גַּם אַתֶּם; שֶׁכֵּן בְּשָׁמְעֲכֶם אֶת דְּבַר הָאֱמֶת, אֶת בְּשׂוֹרַת יְשׁוּעַתְכֶם, וּבְהַאֲמִינְכֶם בּוֹ, נֶחְתַּמְתֶּם גַּם אַתֶּם 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 אֲשֶׁר הִיא עֵרָבוֹן לְנַחֲלָתֵנוּ עַד לִפְדִיַּת הַקִּנְיָן, לִתְהִלַּת כְּבוֹדוֹ.
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15 מִשּׁוּם כָּךְ גַּם אֲנִי, לְאַחַר שֶׁשָּׁמַעְתִּי עַל אֱמוּנַתְכֶם בָּאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ וְעַל אַהֲבַתְכֶם לְכָל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים,
15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16 אֵינֶנִּי חָדֵל לְהוֹדוֹת עֲלֵיכֶם וּלְהַזְכִּיר אֶתְכֶם בִּתְפִלּוֹתַי,
16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
17 כְּדֵי שֶׁאֱלֹהֵי אֲדוֹנֵנוּ יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ, אֲבִי הַכָּבוֹד, יִתֵּן לָכֶם רוּחַ שֶׁל חָכְמָה וְהִתְגַּלּוּת שֶׁתֵּיטִיבוּ לָדַעַת אוֹתוֹ,
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 וְיָאִיר עֵינֵי לְבַבְכֶם לָדַעַת מַהִי הַתִּקְוָה הַצְּפוּנָה בִּקְרִיאָתוֹ, מָה עֲתִירַת כָּבוֹד נַחֲלָתוֹ בְּקֶרֶב הַקְּדוֹשִׁים,
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 וּמַה נַּעֲלָה גְּדֻלַּת גְּבוּרָתוֹ הַשּׁוֹפַעַת עָלֵינוּ, הַמַּאֲמִינִים, כְּמִדַּת פֹּעַל כֹּחוֹ הֶעָצוּם
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 אֲשֶׁר פָּעַל בַּמָּשִׁיחַ בַּהֲקִימוֹ אוֹתוֹ מִבֵּין הַמֵּתִים וּבְהוֹשִׁיבוֹ אוֹתוֹ לִימִינוֹ בַּשָּׁמַיִם,
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 מֵעַל לְכָל מֶמְשָׁלָה וְשִׁלְטוֹן, גְּבוּרָה וּמִשְׂרָה, וְכָל שֵׁם נִקְרָא - לֹא בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה בִּלְבַד, אֶלָּא 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 וְאֶת הַכֹּל שָׁת תַּחַת רַגְלָיו וְנָתַן אוֹתוֹ לַקְּהִלָּה לְרֹאשׁ עַל כֹּל;
22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23 וְהִיא גּוּפוֹ, מְלוֹאוֹ שֶׁל הַמְמַלֵּא אֶת הַכֹּל בַּכֹּל.
23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
