Ephesians 2
1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,
Kadeni mwavene mwafwili muwumi winu wa chimpungu ndava ya kubela kuyidakila Chapanga kumbudila kwinu Chapanga.
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.
Lukumbi lula mweatamili kulandana na mtindu uhakau wa mulima wenuwo. Mwavi mwiyidakila chilongosi wa mizuka weuvi na makakala ga kunani, mzuka weukuvalongosa hinu vandu vangamyidakila Chapanga. (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.
Na hati, tete tavoha tavili ngati vene kwa kulandana na mnogo uhakau wetivelikwi nawu tatamili mukuhenga kila chechiganisa higa na luhala lwitu. Muhali yeniyo ngati vangi voha taganikiwi ligoga la Chapanga.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
Nambu kwa lipyana lamahele la Chapanga na uganu waki uvaha kwitu,
5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
Hati lukumbi lula patakavili tifwili muwumi witu chimpungu ndava ya kumbudila Chapanga atikitili vawumi pamonga na Kilisitu. Kwa ubwina wa Chapanga nyenye musanguliwi.
6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Mukuwungana na Yesu Kilisitu Chapanga atiyukisi pamonga nayu kutitamika tilongosa pamonga nayu kwenuko kunani kwa Chapanga.
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;
Akitili chenichi muni alangisa kwa lusenje lwoha ubwina wa Chapanga uvaha na wakukangasa mu njila ya lipyana laki mukuwungana kwitu na Kilisitu Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ndava muni, muubwina wa Chapanga musanguliwi mu njila ya sadika. Yeniyo yihumila lepi na nyenye nambu njombi kuhuma kwa Chapanga.
9 not of works, that no one would boast.
Yihumila lepi na lihengu la mundu ndi mundu yeyoha akotoka kujikwiha.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.
Chapanga atiwumbili tivya vamupya mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, muni titama wumi wa kuhenga gabwina ngati cheatitendelekili kuhuma kadeni tihamba mu njila yeniyo.
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),
Hinu mukumbuka nyenye kwa kuvelekewa vandu mwanga Vayawudi, mwemkemelewa mwangadumula jandu. Mujandu ya higa yeyikitiwa na mawoko.
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.
Lukumbi lula nyenye mwavi changali Kilisitu, mwavi lepi vandu va Isilaeli, mwavi vayehe na mwavi lepi Vayawudi vandu vevahaguliwi na Chapanga mwavi lepi pandu popoha mu lilaganu leavalagazili Chapanga kwa vandu vaki. Mweatamili pamulima vangammanya Chapanga amala huvalila.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.
Nambu hinu, mukuwungana na Kilisitu Yesu, nyenye penapo kadeni mwavili kutali, muhegelili papipi mu njila ya ngasi yaki Kilisitu.
14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,
Ndava muni Kilisitu mwene atiletili uteke kwa kuvakita Vayawudi na vangali Vayawudi kuvya vamonga. Kuwusa higa yaki ngati luteta mwene agwisili luhumba lwelukuvalekanganisi na kuvakita makoko.
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,
Awusili malagizu gala pamonga na malagizu gaki, muni misambi yivili ya vandu ava vavyai chindu chimonga mukuwungana nayu, aletili uteke kwa njila yeniyo.
16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.
Mu njila ya lifwa laki, Kilisitu pamsalaba ahalabisi umakoko wavi na avawunganisi vandu va makabila ndalindali kuvya vamonga akavaleta kwa Chapanga.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.
Hinu Kilisitu abwelili akakokosa Lilovi la Bwina la uteke kwinu mwemwavili kutali na uteke kwavi vevavi papipi na Chapanga.
18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ndava ya gala gehagahengili Kilisitu, tete tavoha Vayawudi na vandu vangali Vayawudi, tihotola kumhambila Dadi mu Mpungu Msopi mmonga.
19 So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,
Ndi nyenye vandu vangali Vayawudi vayehe lepi kavili, vakolonjinji pamonga na vandu va Chapanga muvi na lukolo lwa vana va Chapanga.
20 being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Mujengiwi mu mkingisa weuvikiwi na vamitumi na Vamlota va Chapanga, na Yesu Kilisitu mwene ndi liganga likulu la pamhana la mkingisa.
21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
Mwene ndi mweijenga na kuwunganisa loha yiyonjokeseka kuvya Nyumba ya Chapanga ya msopi yeyivikiwa kwa Bambu.
22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Mukuwungana nayu, mewa nyenye mujengiwi pamonga na vandu voha kuvya matamilu ga Chapanga mu njila ya Mpungu Msopi.
