Ephisa 2

1 Nangmih khaw tholhdalhnah neh na tholhnah ah aka duek la na om uh.

And you [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your 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)

wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons 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.

among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: —

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, for his great love wherewith 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 when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

6 Amah neh n'thoh tih Khrih Jesuh rhangneh vaan ah n'ngoltun sak.

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly [places], in 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 in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in 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 grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

9 Khoboe kah moenih. Te dongah pakhat khaw hoemdam boel saeh.

not of works, that no man should glory.

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 for good works, which God afore prepared 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 aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called 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.

that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

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 ye that once were far off are made nigh in 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 made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,

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 in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] 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 them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 Ha pawk vaengah lakhla kah nangmih taengah khaw rhoepnah, a yoei rhoek taengah khaw rhoepnah a phong.

and he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

18 Amah lamloh pa taengah mueihla thikat neh boktlap la kunnah te n'dang uh.

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.

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.

So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are 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.

being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;

21 Amah dongah im pum te kiba tih Boeipa ah bawkim cim la rhoeng.

in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 Nangmih khaw Mueihla ah Khrih amah dongah Pathen kah khosaknah hmuen la n'dun.

in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
