Ŵaefeso 2
1 Ŵanyamwe kalakala mwaliji ŵawe mu utame wa mmbumu kwa ligongo lya ungaajitichisya Akunnungu ni sambi syenu.
[Unto] you also—being dead by your offences and sins,
2 Katema ko mwatemi malinga ni wende wangalimate wa ŵandu ŵa chilambo chino. Mwampilikanichisye jwankulu jwa masoka ga machili jwa kwiunde, lisoka lyalikwatawala sambano ŵandu ŵangakwajitichisya Akunnungu. (aiōn g165)
In which at one time ye walked, according to the age of the world, according to the prince of the authority of the air, of the spirit that now energiseth in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
3 Kalakala, noweji twaliji mpela ŵelewo. Twatemi kwakukuya tama syangalumbana sitwapagwile nasyo ni kutendekanya yeila pe yakuinonyelesya iilu ni lunda lwetu. Kwa ligongo lya kulandana kwetu nkupagwa, twaŵajilwe kulamulikwa ni Akunnungu mpela ŵandu ŵane.
Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest, —
4 Nambo Akunnungu ali ŵa chanasa chachijinji, ŵatunonyele uweji kwa unonyelo wao wekulungwa,
But, God, being rich in mercy, by reason of the great love wherewith he loved us,
5 namose patwaliji mpela tuwile mu utame wetu wa chimbumu, kwa ligongo lya sambi syetu, Akunnungu ŵatutesile ŵajumi pamo ni Kilisito. Kwayele tukulupwiswe kwa upile wa Akunnungu.
Although we were dead by our offences, gave us life together with the Christ, —by favour, ye have been saved, —
6 Kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, Akunnungu atusyusisye pamo nawo kuti tukatawale pamo nawo kwinani.
And raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenlies, in Christ:
7 Ŵatesile yeleyo kuti alosye umbone wao wekulungwa wangaukupimika kwa iŵelesi yose ichiiche kwa litala lya unonyelo wakwe nkulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito. (aiōn g165)
That he might point out, in the oncoming ages, the surpassing riches of his favour in graciousness upon us, in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)
8 Pakuŵa, kwa umbone wa Akunnungu, nkulupwiche kwa litala lya chikulupi. Chelecho ngachikutyochela kukwenu mwachinsyene nambo uli ntuuka wa Akunnungu.
For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass] —not from you, of God, the free-gift!
9 Ngaŵa kwa ipanganyo yenu, kwayele mundu jwalijose akalikusya kwa chachili chose.
Not from works, lest anyone should boast.
10 Akunnungu atugumbile ni kuŵa ŵasambano, ni kwa kulumbikana kwetu ni Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵatugumbile kuti tutame ni kupanganya yambone yaiŵichikwe chile ni Akunnungu tuipanganye.
His, in fact we are—his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus upon a footing of good works, which God prepared beforehand, that, therein, we might walk.
11 Nipele nkumbuchile imwatite pakuŵa kalakala ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵankuŵilanjikwa ŵangaumbala ni Ŵayahudi ŵakuliŵilanga ŵaumbele, kwa ligongo lya chindu chachitendekwe ni ŵandu mu iilu yao.
Wherefore, keep in remembrance—that, at one time, ye, the nations in flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by the so-called Circumcision in flesh, made by hand,
12 Kele katema ko mwaliji ngankwamanyilila Kilisito, ŵanyamwe mwasapulikwe kutyochela mu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu. Mwaliji achalendo pasikati jao. Nganinkola chachili chose pa chilanga cha Akunnungu chiŵachilanjile kwa ŵandu ŵakwe ni mwatemi pachilambo pangali chilolelo ni kwamanyilila Akunnungu.
That ye were, in that season, separate from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and godless in the world;
13 Nambo sambano, nkulumbikana ni Kilisito Yesu, ŵanyamwe umwaliji kwakutalika kalakala, nli pachiŵandi kwa litala lya miasi ja Kilisito.
But, just now, in Christ Jesus, ye, who at one time were afar off, were made nigh in the blood of the Christ;
14 Pakuŵa Kilisito nsyene atujigalile chitendewele chakwatenda Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo. Kwa litala lya kuchityosya chiilu chao mpela sadaka, ŵautyosisye umagongo uwaliji nkwalekanganya mpela likumba pasikati jao.
He, in fact, is our peace—who made both one, and, the enclosing middle-wall, took down,
15 Ŵelewo ŵagatyosisye Malajisyo ga Chiyahudi pamo ni majiganyo gakwe kuti ŵaatende Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuŵa ŵamo nkulumbikana nawo, ni kwa kutenda yele ŵachiichenawo chitendewele.
The enmity, in his flesh—the law of commandments in decrees—bringing to nought, —that, the two, he might create in himself, into one man of new mould, making peace.
16 Kwa kuchityosya chiilu chakwe mpela sadaka pa nsalaba, Kilisito aujonasile umagongo wao. Kwa nsalaba ajitesile mipingo jiŵili jo kuŵa ŵamo ni kwajilanya ni Akunnungu.
And might fully reconcile them both, in one body, through means of the cross, —slaying the enmity thereby; —
17 Nipele, Kilisito ŵaiche kukulalichila Ngani Jambone ja chitendewele kukwenu ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ŵandi kwakutalikangana ni Akunnungu ni kwa Ŵayahudi ŵaali chiŵandi ni Akunnungu.
And, coming, he announced the glad-message—of peace, unto you, the far off, and peace, unto them that were nigh;
18 Pakuŵa kutyochela ni aila yaitesile Kilisito, uweji wose, Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, tukukombola kwajaulila Atati kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu jumo.
Because, through him, we have our introduction—we both—in one Spirit, unto the Father.
19 Nipele chitandile sambano, ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi nganimma achalendo sooni namose nganimma ŵakupita. Sambano ndi ŵandu ŵa nnango umo pamo ni ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu, ni sooni ŵaali mu nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
Hence, then—no longer, are ye strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and members of the household of God, —
20 Iyoyo ŵanyamwe ntaŵikwe pa nsingi wauŵichikwe ni achinduna ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni Che Yesu Kilisito asyene lili luchanamila lwekulungwa lwakwimichila nyuumba.
Having been built up on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, there being, for chief corner stone, Jesus Christ himself, —
21 Ŵelewo ni ŵakujilumbikanya nyuumba jose ni kujikusya mpaka jiŵe Nyuumba ja Akunnungu jajiswela jajityosyekwe kwa ligongo lya Ambuje.
In whom, an entire building, in process of being fitly joined together, is growing into a holy shrine in [the] Lord;
22 Nkulumbikana ni Kilisito, nomwe ŵakwe nkutaŵikwa pamo ni ŵandu ŵane wose, mme pakutama pao Akunnungu kwa litala lya Mbumu jwakwe.
In whom, ye also, are being builded together, into a habitation of God in Spirit.
