Ephesians 2
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
Ary ianareo dia efa novelominy, fony mbola matin’ ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahotanareo,
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)
izay nalehanareo fahiny, araka ny fomban’ izao tontolo izao, araka ny mpanapaka ny fanjakana eny amin’ ny rivotra, dia ny fanahy izay miasa ankehitriny ao anatin’ ny zanaky ny tsi-fanarahana; (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.
teo amin’ ireo no nitondrantsika rehetra tena koa fahiny tamin’ ny filan’ ny nofontsika, ka nanaovantsika ny danin’ ny nofo sy ny saina; ary araka ny toetsika dia zanaky ny fahatezerana toy ny sasany koa isika.
4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
Fa Andriamanitra, Izay manan-karena amin’ ny famindram-po, noho ny halehiben’ ny fitiavany izay nitiavany antsika,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
na dia fony mbola matin’ ny fahadisoana aza isika, dia nahavelona antsika niaraka tamin’ i Kristy (fahasoavana no namonjena anareo);
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
ary niara-natsangany isika ka niara-napetrany any an-danitra ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy,
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)
mba hasehony amin’ ny andro ho avy ny haben’ ny haren’ ny fahasoavany amin’ ny fahamoram-panahiny amintsika ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy. (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,
Fa fahasoavana no namonjena anareo amin’ ny finoana; ary tsy avy aminareo izany, fa fanomezana avy amin’ Andriamanitra;
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
tsy avy amin’ ny asa, fandrao hisy hirehareha.
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.
Fa asany isika, voaforona tao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy mba hanao asa tsara, izay namboarin’ Andriamanitra rahateo mba handehanantsika eo aminy.
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)—
Koa tsarovy fa fahiny ianareo izay jentilisa araka ny nofo, ka nolazain’ ny voaforan-tanana teo amin’ ny nofo hoe tsy voafora ―
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.
eny, tsarovy fa tamin’ izany andro izany dia tsy nanana an’ i Kristy ianareo, fa olon-ko azy tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny Isiraely ary vahiny tamin’ ireo faneken’ ny teny fikasana, dia tsy nanana fanantenana sady tsy nanana an’ Andriamanitra teo amin’ izao tontolo izao;
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
fa ankehitriny kosa, ao amin’ i Kristy Jesosy, ianareo izay lavitra fahiny dia efa nampanakeken’ ny ran’ i Kristy.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
Fa Izy no fihavanantsika, Izay nahiray antsika roa tonta ka nandrava ny efitry ny fisarahana,
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
fa tao amin’ ny nofony no nandravany ny fandrafiana, dia ny lalàna nisy didy natao hotandremana, mba hanakambanany antsika roa tonta ao amin’ ny tenany ho olom-baovao iray, ka hanaovany fihavanana,
16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
ary hampihavana antsika roa tonta ho tena iray amin’ Andriamanitra noho ny hazo fijaliana, izay namonoany ny fandrafiana.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
Ary tonga Izy ka nitory teny soa mahafaly milaza fihavanana taminareo izay lavitra ary fihavanana tamin’ izay akaiky koa.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
Fa Izy no ananantsika roa tonta fanatonana amin’ ny Fanahy iray ho any amin’ ny Ray.
19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
Koa dia tsy mba vahiny sy mpivahiny intsony ianareo, fa tompon-tany, mpiray fanjakana amin’ ny olona masìna sady ankohonan’ Andriamanitra,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
natsangana teo ambonin’ ny fanorenan’ ny Apostoly sy ny mpaminany, ary Kristy Jesosy no fehizoro indrindra;
21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
ao aminy no irafetan’ ny rafitra rehetra, mitombo tsara ho tempoly masìna ao amin’ ny Tompo.
22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
Ary ao aminy no miaraka aorina koa ianareo ho fonenan’ Andriamanitra amin’ ny Fanahy.
