Ephesians 2
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
Anga uu nai matulaa mukule mu utumuli ni milandu anyu.
2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
Ai ituile mu aya kina hanza ai mulongolekile kuniganiila ni matungo na unkumbigulu uwu, ai matulaa mukugendeela ku kuutyata u utemi nua ngulu nia migulya. Iyi yiyo nkolo akwe nuitumaa umulimo mu ana nia kupihika. (aiōn g165)
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
Usese kihi apo ung'wandyo ai katulaa mukati ao mu awa ni shanga ahuiie. Ai katulaa kuituma ku mpyani a nsula mbibii nia miili itu. Ai katulaa kuituma ulowa nua muili nu umanyi nu itu. Ai katulaa ku upumoo ana nia ikuo anga i auya.
4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
Kuiti Itunda inge nua ukende widu kunsoko a ulowa nu akwe ukulu nai ukuloilwe usese.
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
Matungo nai katulaa ki ashi mu utumuli nu itu, ai ukuletile palung'wi mu likalo nu luza mukati ang'wa Kristo. Inge ku ukende kina mugunilwe.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Itunda ai ukiukilye palung'wi nu kuu zipya kikie palung'wi mu kianza ni ka kilunde mukati ang'wa KristoYesu.
7 in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Ai ukuzipilye izi iti mu matungo nazile ahume ku ulagiila u ugoli ukulu nua ukende nuakwe. Wikulagiila usese izi ku nzila a ukende nu akwe mukati ang'wa Kristo Yesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ku ukende mugunilwe ku nzila a ulyuuku. Hangi iyi shanga ipumile kitalanyu. Inge isongeelyo ni lang'wi Itunda.
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Shanga ipembeeye ni ntendo, Mapumiilo akwe, aleke kutula ukoli ung'wi ao nua kikulya.
10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
Kunsoko usese ku mulimo nu ang'wi Itunda, kuumbilwe mung'wa Kristo Yesu kituma ntendo nkende, Inge ntendo izi naza Itunda ai uzupiiye puma imatungo a kali ku nzila itu iti kugende mu nanso.
11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—
Ku lulo kimbukiilyi kina apo ikali ai matulaa antu a mahi ku kinyamuili. Mitang'wa, ''Miagila ikidamu'' ku iko nikitangwaa kidamu nika muili ni kitung'waa ku mukono nu ang'wa bina adamu.
12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
Ku itungo ni lanso ai matulaa mubaguwe nu Kristo. Ai matulaa mu aziila ku antu a Israeli. Ai matulaa aziila ku ilago ni la wigombya. Ai matulaa miagila ikulu ku uhiu Ku itungo ni lizile. Ai matulaa bila Itunda mu unkumbigulu.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
Ku iti itungili kung'wa Kristo Yesu unyenye naza apo ng'wandyo matulaa kahelu ni Itunda maletwaa pakupi ni Itunda ku sakami ang'wa Kristo.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
Kunsoko ng'wenso yuyo ulyuuku nu itu ai witumile abiili kutula ling'wi, ku muili nu akwe ai uugazangilye ikiligo ni la utemanulwa naza latulaa likutemanue, nuanso u ulugu.
15 by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
Kina ai uligeeye papo ilagiilyo ni li lago ni la nzila iti kina waumbe muntu ung'wi mupya mukati akwe. Akazipya ulyuuku.
16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
Ai witumile izi iti kumalamula madale abiili na antu kutula muili ung'wi kung'wi Itunda kukiila ikota la mpaga. Ku nzila i kota ni la mpaga ai uubulagile u ulugu.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
U Yesu ai uzile nu kutanantya u ulyuuku kitalanyu unyenye nai matulaa kuli nu ulyuuku ku enso awo nai atulaa pakupi.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Ku ndogoelyo ku nzila ang'wa Yesu usese kii abiili kukete i lyoma kung'wa ng'wau ng'welu ung'wi kingila kung'wa Tata.
19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
Iti gwa, unyenye antu a mahi shanga anya mihinzo ni aziila hangi. Ila inge akola ihi palung'wi ni awo nai abaguwe ku nsoko ang'wi Itunda hangi atuung'wa mi ito ni lang'wi Itunda.
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
Muzengilwe migulya a musiingi nua atuung'waa ni anya kidagu. Kristo Yesu mukola ai watulaa ai watulaa igwe ikulu ni la ku mpelo.
21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
Mu ng'wenso i jengo lihi litunganigwe palung'wi nu ku kula anga itekeelo mu kati a Mukulu.
22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
Inge mukati akwe unye nu nyenye mukuzengwa palung'wi anga kianza ni ka kikie kung'wa Itunda mu ng'wau ng'welu.
