Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Ma unu onwe unu, unu nwụrụ anwụ site na njehie ụzọ na mmehie unu.
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this age (aiōn g165), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.
Nke unu biri ndụ nʼime ha mgbe unu na-agbaso ụzọ niile nke ụwa a, na ụzọ onye ọchịchị nke alaeze ikuku, bụ mmụọ ahụ na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a na ndụ ndị ahụ na-enupu isi. (aiōn g165)
3 We also all once lived among them 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.
Anyị niile bikwara ndụ anyị nʼetiti ha, nʼoge gara aga, na-emejupụta agụụ nke anụ ahụ mmehie, ma na-agbaso ọchịchọ ya na ebumnuche ya. Nʼihi na site nʼọdịdị anyị, anyị na ndị ọzọ nọ nʼọmụma ikpe ya.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Chineke onye jupụtara nʼobi ebere, maka oke ịhụnanya o nwere nʼebe anyị nọ,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
mere ka anyị soro Kraịst dịrị ndụ ọzọ; ọ bụladị mgbe anyị bụ ndị nwụrụ anwụ nʼime ajọ omume. Ọ bụ site nʼamara ya ka e ji zọpụta unu.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ọ kpọlitere anyị na ya, mee ka anyị nọdụ ọdụ nʼebe niile nke eluigwe nʼime Kraịst Jisọs.
7 that in the ages (aiōn g165) to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus;
O mere nke a igosi ọgbọ nke na-abịa, ịdị ukwuu nke akụ amara ya, nke o sitere nʼobiọma ya gosi anyị nʼime Kraịst Jisọs. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼamara ka e ji zọpụta unu site nʼokwukwe. Nke a abụghị ihe unu rụpụtara nʼonwe unu, ọ bụ onyinye nke Chineke.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
O siteghị nʼọrụ, ka onye ọbụla ghara ịnya isi.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Nʼihi na anyị bụ akaọrụ ya, nke o kere nʼime Kraịst Jisọs nʼihi ịrụ ezi ọrụ. Ọ bụ otu a ka Chineke siri kwadoo na anyị kwesiri ibi ndụ ụbọchị niile.
11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),
Ya mere, chetanụ na nʼoge gara aga, unu bụ ndị mba ọzọ site nʼọmụmụ nke a mụrụ unu. Chetakwanụ na “ndị e biri ugwu” na-akpọkwa unu “ndị a na-ebighị ugwu” (nʼihi obibi ugwu nʼanụ ahụ nke eji aka bie).
12 that you 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.
Nʼoge ahụ, ọ dịghị ihe jikọtara unu na Kraịst. E kewapụtara unu site na mmekọrịta nke Izrel, bụrụkwa ndị ọbịa nʼọgbụgba ndụ ahụ, na-enweghị olileanya na-enweghịkwa Chineke nʼime ụwa.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Ma ugbu a nʼime Kraịst Jisọs, unu bụ ndị nọ nʼebe dị anya nʼoge gara aga, ka e mere ka unu bịaruo nso site nʼọbara Kraịst nke a wụsiri.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Nʼihi na ya onwe ya bụ udo anyị, o mere ka ụzọ otu abụọ bụrụ otu ihe nʼime ahụ ya, site na ịkwatu mgbidi kewara ha na mgbe ochie, bụ mgbidi nke ịkpọ asị dị nʼetiti anyị.
15 having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,
Ọ bụ nʼime anụ ahụ ya ka ọ mere ka iwu ahụ na ụkpụrụ ya niile ghara ịdị ire. Ebumnobi ya bụ i kee nʼime onwe ya otu onye ọhụrụ site na mmadụ abụọ ahụ, si otu a mee ka udo dịrị.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ọ ga-esi kpeziere anyị na Chineke site nʼobe ya, wetakwa nʼisi ngwụcha, iro dị nʼetiti ha abụọ.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Ya mere, ọ bịara kwusaa udo nye unu ndị nọ ebe dị anya na unu ndị nọ nso,
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Nʼihi na anyị abụọ sitere nʼaka ya nweta nnabata anyị ịbịa nʼihu Nna site nʼotu Mmụọ ahụ.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Matakwanụ ugbu a na unu abụkwaghị ndị mba ọzọ na ndị ọbịa. Unu esorola ndị nsọ bụrụ diala na ndị so nʼezinaụlọ Chineke,
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
nke a rụkwasara nʼelu ntọala nke ndị ozi na ndị amụma, nke Kraịst Jisọs nʼonwe ya bụ nkume isi ntọala ya.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Ọ bụkwa nʼime ya ka a na-ejikọta ụlọ ahụ niile nke ọma, na-aba ụba, too bụrụ ụlọnsọ, nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Onye a na-ewukọkwa unu onwe unu nʼotu nʼime ya, ka unu niile bụrụ ebe obibi Chineke nʼime Mmụọ.
