Ephisa 2

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

And you [hath he revived], 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 in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh 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.

Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the 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, who is rich in mercy, for 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 when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )

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

And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in 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 show the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness towards us, through 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 are ye 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 by works, lest any man should 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, which God hath before ordained 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 ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is 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 takuh. Ngaiuepnah om pawt bangla Diklai ah na dalrha uh.

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of 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, who formerly were far off, are made 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 hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];

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: to make in himself of two 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 that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by it slain the enmity:

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

And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and 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 an access by one Spirit to 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.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, 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.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner -[stone];

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

In whom all the building fitly framed together, groweth to 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 built together, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.
