Ephisa 2
1 Nangmih khaw tholhdalhnah neh na tholhnah ah aka duek la na om uh.
even you who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Hnukbuet ah khaw ta kumhal kah Diklai khosing neh yilh dongkah saithainah boei banglam ni te dongah te na pongpa uh. Althanah kah a ca rhoek te a khuiah mueihla a tueng pah coeng. (aiōn g165)
in which you formerly walked, according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air--of the spirit which now effectually works in the children of disobedience; (aiōn g165)
3 Hnukbuet ah mamih boeih khaw pumsa hoehhamnah neh amih taengah kho n'sak uh. Pumsa neh kopoek kah kongaih te n'saii uh dongah a tloe rhoek kah a coengnah bangla kosi kah ca rhoek la n'om uh.
amongst whom we, also, were all formerly conversant in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 Tedae rhennah neh kuirhang la aka om Pathen tah a lungnah a cungkuem dongah ni mamih n'lungnah.
But God being rich in mercy, through his great love with which he loved us,
5 Mamih he tholhdalhnah ah duek la aka om rhoek pataeng Khrih neh n'thoh sak tih lungvatnah lamloh khang la na om uh coeng.
even us, who were dead in trespasses, he has made alive together with Christ; (by favor you are saved; )
6 Amah neh n'thoh tih Khrih Jesuh rhangneh vaan ah n'ngoltun sak.
and has raised us up together, and has set us down together in heavenly places with Christ Jesus;
7 Te daengah ni Khrih Jesuh lamloh mamih taengah rhennah neh aka thoeng ham a lungvatnah khuehtawn te a baetawt la kumhal ah a tueng eh. (aiōn g165)
that he might show, in the ages to come, the exceeding riches of his favor in his kindness toward us by Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Lungvatnah neh tangnah lamloh khang la na om uh coeng. Te te namamih kah moenih Pathen kah kutdoe ni.
For by favor you are saved through faith; and this salvation not by yourselves; it is the gift of God--
9 Khoboe kah moenih. Te dongah pakhat khaw hoemdam boel saeh.
not by works, that no one may boast.
10 Mamih tah Jesuh Khrih ah a suen a kutngo la n'om uh. Tekah khoboe then te Pathen loh a hmoel pai tih ni a soah m'pongpa pai eh.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, for which God before prepared us, that we should walk in them.
11 Te dongah pumsa ah nangmih namtom loh hnukbuet kah te poek uh. Pumdul la a khue rhoek tah pumsa neh kutsai lamloh yahvinrhetnah te ni a thui.
Wherefore, remember that you, formerly Gentiles in the flesh, (those called the uncircumcision, by them called the circumcision in the flesh, made by hands, )
12 Te vaeng tue ah Khrih mueh la na om uh te ta. Israel kah khokung khomah te na hai uh tih olkhueh kah paipi te na kholong tak uh. Ngaiuepnah om pawt bangla Diklai ah na dalrha uh.
were in the world at that time, without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the institutions of promise; having no hope, and without God:
13 Tedae nangmih hnukbuet kah Khrih Jesuh ah lakhla la aka om te Khrih thii dong lamloh rhep na om uh coeng.
but now, in Christ Jesus, you were formerly far off, are brought nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 Amah tah mamih kah rhoepnah la om. Panit pakhat la aka saii amah loh a pumsa dongkah thunkha la aka om vongtung pangbueng te khaw a phil coeng.
For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation;
15 Oltloek dongkah olpaek kah olkhueng te a hmil coeng. Te daengah ni panit te amah ah hlang thai pakhat la a suen vetih rhoepnah khaw a saii pai eh.
having abolished, by his flesh, the enmity, (the law of the commandments concerning ordinances, ) that he might make the two into one new man, under himself, making peace:
16 Te daengah ni thunkha te thinglam lamloh a ngawn vetih panit te Pathen taengah pum pakhat la a moeithen sak eh.
and might reconcile both to God, in one body, through the cross; having slain the enmity by it.
17 Ha pawk vaengah lakhla kah nangmih taengah khaw rhoepnah, a yoei rhoek taengah khaw rhoepnah a phong.
And, having come, he brought good news of peace to you, the far off--to us, the nigh:
18 Amah lamloh pa taengah mueihla thikat neh boktlap la kunnah te n'dang uh.
that, through him, we both have introduction to the Father, by one Spirit.
19 Te dongah kholong neh yinlai la na om uh voel tangloeng pawh. Tedae hlangcim rhoek kah pilnam neh Pathen kah imkhuikho la na om uh coeng.
Now, then, you are no longer strangers and sojourners; but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God:
20 Caeltueih rhoek neh tonghma rhoek kah khoengim te a tlingtlawn thil uh coeng tih Khrih Jesuh amah he imkil la om.
having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the foundation corner stone;
21 Amah dongah im pum te kiba tih Boeipa ah bawkim cim la rhoeng.
by which the whole building, being fitly compacted together, rises into a holy temple of the Lord;
22 Nangmih khaw Mueihla ah Khrih amah dongah Pathen kah khosaknah hmuen la n'dun.
in which you, also, are builded together, for a habitation of God by the Spirit.
