1因天主的旨意,做耶穌基督宗徒的保祿,致書給那些【在厄弗所的】聖徒和信仰基督耶穌的人。 | 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to all the saints who are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus. |
2願恩寵與平安,由我們的父天主和主耶穌基督,賜與你們! | 2Grace be to you, and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
3願我們的主耶穌基督的天主和父受讚美!他在天上,在基督內,以各種屬神的祝福,祝福了我們, | 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ: |
4因為他於創世以前,在基督內已揀選了我們,為使我們在他面前,成為聖潔無瑕疵的; | 4As he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in his sight in charity. |
5又由於愛,按照自己旨意的決定,預定了我們藉着耶穌基督獲得義子的名分,而歸於他, | 5Who hath predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will: |
6為頌揚他恩寵的光榮,這恩寵是他在自己的愛子內賜與我們的; | 6Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he hath graced us in his beloved son. |
7我們就是全憑天主豐厚的恩寵,在他的愛子內,藉他愛子的血,獲得了救贖,罪過的赦免。 | 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins, according to the riches of his grace, |
8的確,天主豐厚地把這恩寵傾注在我們身上,賜與我們各種智慧和明達, | 8Which hath superabounded in us in all wisdom and prudence, |
9為使我們知道,他旨意的奧秘,是全照他在愛子內所定的計劃: | 9That he might make known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he hath purposed in him, |
10就是依照他的措施,當時期一滿,就使天上和地上的萬有,總歸於基督元首。 | 10In the dispensation of the fulness of times, to re-establish all things in Christ, that are in heaven and on earth, in him. |
11我們也是在基督內得作天主的產業,因為我們是由那位按照自己旨意的計劃施行萬事者,早預定了的, | 11In whom we also are called by lot, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things according to the counsel of his will. |
12為使我們這些首先在默西亞內懷着希望的人,頌揚他的光榮; | 12That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ: |
13在基督內你們一聽到了真理的話,即你們得救的福音,便信從了,且在他內受了恩許聖神的印證; | 13In whom you also, after you had heard the word of truth, (the gospel of your salvation;) in whom also believing, you were signed with the holy Spirit of promise, |
14這聖神就是我們得嗣業的保證,為使天主所置為嗣業的子民,蒙受完全的救贖,為頌揚他的光榮。 | 14Who is the pledge of our inheritance, unto the redemption of acquisition, unto the praise of his glory. |
15因此,我一聽見你們對主耶穌的信德和對眾聖徒的愛德, | 15Wherefore I also, hearing of your faith that is in the Lord Jesus, and of your love towards all the saints, |
16便不斷為你們感謝天主,在我的祈禱中記念你們, | 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers, |
17為使我們的主耶穌基督的天主,即那光榮的父,把智慧和啟示的神恩,賜與你們,好使你們認識他; | 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: |
18並光照你們心靈的眼目,為叫你們認清他的寵召有什麼希望,在聖徒中他嗣業的光榮,是怎樣豐厚; | 18The eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what the hope is of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. |
19他對我們虔信的人,所施展的強有力而見效的德能是怎樣的偉大。 | 19And what is the exceeding greatness of his power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of his power, |
20正如他已將這德能施展在基督身上,使他從死者中復活,叫他在天上坐在自己右邊, | 20Which he wrought in Christ, raising him up from the dead, and setting him on his right hand in the heavenly places. |
21超乎一切率領者、掌權者、異能者、宰制者,以及一切現世及來世可稱呼的名號以上; | 21Above all principality, and power, and virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. |
22又將萬有置於他的腳下,使他在教會內作至上的元首, | 22And he hath subjected all things under his feet, and hath made him head over all the church, |
23這教會就是基督的身體,就是在一切內充滿一切者的圓滿。 | 23Which is his body, and the fulness of him who is filled all in all. |
