以弗所書 3
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
對外邦人的服事
3 因此，我保羅為你們外邦人做了基督耶穌的囚犯。 2 你們一定聽說過，為了你們的緣故，神那恩典的任務已經賜給我了； 3 也就是說，藉著啟示，那奧祕已經顯明給我，就像我先前簡略寫過的那樣。 4 你們讀了，就能明白我在基督奧祕上的悟性。 5 這奧祕在別的各世代並不顯明給人類[a]，不像如今藉著聖靈啟示給了他的聖使徒和先知們。 6 這奧祕就是：外邦人在基督耶穌[b]裡，藉著福音，成為共同的繼承人，同屬一體、同蒙應許。 7 我成了這福音的僕人[c]，是照著神恩典的賞賜；這賞賜是照著他大能的作為賜給我的。
8 我在所有聖徒中，比最小的還小，但被賜予了這恩典，是為了把基督那無法測度的豐盛傳給外邦人； 9 並且使所有的人都明白這奧祕的計劃[d]到底是什麼，這奧祕自古以來被隱藏在[e]創造萬有的神裡面， 10 為要使天上的統治者和掌權者，如今藉著教會能明白神各種各樣的智慧。 11 這都是照著他在我們主基督耶穌裡所成就的永恆心意。 12 在基督裡，藉著信基督，我們能坦然無懼、確信無疑地來到神面前[f]。 13 所以，我請求你們[g]，不要因我為你們所受的患難而喪膽[h]；這患難是你們的榮耀。
祈求屬靈的能力
14 因此，我屈膝在[i]父面前—— 15 天上地上的萬族都是從他得名的， 16 願他按照他那榮耀的豐盛，藉著他的靈，以大能使你們內在的人剛強起來； 17 使基督藉著你們的信仰，住在你們心裡；使你們在愛中扎根，根基穩固， 18 好讓你們有能力與所有聖徒一起了解基督的愛[j]是多麼長、闊、高、深—— 19 明白那超越了人所能[k]理解的基督之愛，好讓你們得以滿足，達到神一切的豐盛完美。
20 神能照著在我們裡面做工的大能，成就那遠超過我們所求所想的一切事—— 21 願榮耀在教會裡、在基督耶穌裡歸於神，直到世世代代，永永遠遠！阿們。
Kehillah in Ephesus 3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 For this cause, I, Sha’ul, the prisoner of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua for you Goyim,
2 If indeed you heard of the pekudat Hashem of the Chen v’Chesed Hashem having been given to me for you,
3 That according to hisgalus (revelation) there was made known to me the sod of the raz, as I wrote before in brief,
4 As to which you are able by reading to have binah of my haara (insight) into the Sod HaMoshiach the Secret ( of Moshiach),
5 Of which in other dorot (generations) was not made known to the Bnei Adam as it has now been made hisgalus (revelation) to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s Shlichim and Nevi’im HaKedoshim in the Ruach Hakodesh,
6 Namely, that the Nations are fellow bnei HaYerushshah (heirs) of the nachalah (allotted inheritance, Ps 16:5-6) and joint evarim of HaGuf HaMoshiach [Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:11] and joint partakers of the havtachah (promise) in Moshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) through the Besuras HaGeulah, [Ezek 47:22]
7 Of which I became a keli kodesh (minister) according to the matnat Hashem of the Chen v’Chesed of G-d having been bestowed upon me, according to the working of His gevurah (power).
8 To me, the less than the least of all Kadoshim, was given this Chen v’Chesed Hashem, to preach to the Goyim the unsearchable osher (riches) of Moshiach,
9 And to shed light on what is the pekudat Hashem of the Sod that was meOlam nistar (hidden) in Hashem, who created all things,
10 In order that the many faceted Chochmat Hashem might be made known now to the rulers and the authorities in Shomayim through the Moshiach’s Brit Chadasha Kehillah.
11 This was in accordance with the tochnit Hashem (purposeful and willed plan of G-d) for the Olamim (Ages), which He implemented in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,
12 In whom we have boldness and HaSha’ar laHashem (gate to approach G-d’s presence, access of the tzaddikim Ps 118:20) in bitachon through emunah in Him.
13 Therefore, I ask you not to lose chozek concerning my tzoros on your behalf, which is for your kavod.
14 For this cause I fall down before HaAv,
15 From whom every mishpochah in Shomayim and on Ha’Aretz is named,
16 That Hashem may grant you according to the osher of His kavod to become mightily empowered through His Ruach Hakodesh in the inner man;
17 So that Moshiach may make His maon (dwelling place, permanent residence, home) in your levavot through emunah, being rooted and grounded in ahavah,
18 That you may be able to have binah, together with all the Kadoshim, what is the breadth and length and height and depth [IYOV 11:8,9; TEHILLIM 103:11]
19 And to have da’as of the ahavah of Moshiach, which ahavah surpasses da’as, in order that you may be filled to all the melo (plentitude) of Hashem.
20 Now to the One who is able to do exceedingly abundantly, beyond all that we ask or think, according to the ko’ach working in us. [MELACHIM ALEF 3:13]
21 To Him be kavod in the Brit Chadasha Kehillah and in Moshiach Yehoshua, bekhol hadorot l’Olam va’ed. Omein.
