< Ephesians 2 >

1 And you were once dead in your sins and offenses,
Anugh wa di, anan nkullari bara utazunu nin ntizu nalapi mine.
2 in which you walked in times past, according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of this sky, the spirit who now works in the sons of distrust. (aiōn g165)
Na iwa malu uchinu nafo ucin nko kube. Nafo usu nakara ngoh in yie. Nin ruhum nlenge na adi katuwa nin nono nsalin lanzu nliru. (aiōn g165)
3 And we too were all conversant in these things, in times past, by the desires of our flesh, acting according to the will of the flesh and according to our own thoughts. And so we were, by nature, sons of wrath, even like the others.
Arike wang wan min di tisu nafo na nidowo bite di nin sun nsue. Nsu nimon kidowo nin kibinai, nan nya tiwa di nono tinana nayi nafo ngisinne.
4 Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us,
Bara na Kutellẹ unan konnayiari gbardang bara usu me na adimun bara arike.
5 even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved.
Kubi ko na tiwa kuzu nanyan ntazunu bite, da a nin ghirik nanyan nlai upese ligowe nin Kristi-kitin bolu Kutellẹ na tizu minn.
6 And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,
Akuru a fia nari ligowe a taa nari tiso ligowe niti kitene kani nin Kristi Yisa.
7 so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Awa su nani bara bara kubi ncindak, aba dursu nari ngbardang nbolu me nin nayi ashau me in Kristi Yesu (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.
Bara ubolu nayi ashau me, inase utuchu nanya nyinnu sa uyenu. Ullele na dak bara nnuzu nati biteri ba, ullele uffillu Kutellẹri.
9 And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.
Na bara katuwa bit ba. Na umon uwa foo figiri ba.
10 For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.
Arike vat imon katuwa Kutellẹ ari, awakẹ nari nan nyan Kristi Yisa tisu nituwa nicine. kangah na Kutellẹ wa kẹ ni nin uworsu bara tina su ucin nanye.
11 Because of this, be mindful that, in times past, you were Gentiles in the flesh, and that you were called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised in the flesh, something done by man,
Nin nani lizinon anunghe wanadi awurmi nan nya kidowo. Ulle na idin yichu minu “anan kuchuru alumai” ulle na idin yichu inin anan katu kuchuru in nya kidowo.
12 and that you were, in that time, without Christ, being foreign to the way of life of Israel, being visitors to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and being without God in this world.
Na nkoni kubi iwa kosu munu nin Kristi. Iwa idi amara nan nya nono Israila. Nin namara kitene nyinu nin nalikawali. Na uyinu ni ile imun na idin bun ba. Nin sali Kutellẹ nanya inye.
13 But now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were in times past far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Vat nin nani nene nan nya Nkristi Yisa anughe alle na iwadi piit nin Kutelle inalle na dak susut kupo Kutellẹ nan nya mmii Kristi.
14 For he is our peace. He made the two into one, by dissolving the intermediate wall of separation, of opposition, by his flesh,
Amere nsusut lisosin liman bite, ullenge na a wa ti ku Yahudawa nin ku wurmi iso unit urum, kidowo me, awa kala liyarin longo naliwa kosu nari nan nati bite.
15 emptying the law of commandments by decree, so that he might join these two, in himself, into one new man, making peace
Usso nafo, awa musuzu uduka nin nkaida anan saka ukke nanit apese nan nya nan awaba ane, ndak nin lisosin limang.
16 and reconciling both to God, in one body, through the cross, destroying this opposition in himself.
Awa su nani bara akelẹ anite vat nan wabe iso kidowo kirum kiti Kutellẹ nan nya nnieu, ukull me na molu ivira kitik mine.
17 And upon arriving, he evangelized peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near.
Yisa wadak ada belle ulirun lai nin tọp me kiti nalenge na iwadi pït, nin lisosin limang kiti nalenge na idi susut.
18 For by him, we both have access, in the one Spirit, to the Father.
Bara kitin Yisa vat bite dimun libau lirum linse nfip milau kitin nchif bite.
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God,
Bara nani anug na iwadi awurmi na idu amara ba, nin nani anun adondon lisosin nan nyan nyẹ nin nale na Kutellẹ na fere nani, allenge na ina piru nyan nono Kutellẹ.
20 having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.
Allenge na iwa kẹ nan nya litino nnono kadura nin nanan nliru nin nu Kutellẹ, ame Yisa Kristi ame litime wa sọ litala likout.
21 In him, all that has been built is framed together, rising up into a holy temple in the Lord.
Nin Likara Yisa, vat makekewe na nankilari me wase ligowe. Ita gbardang nafo kutien nliran na ina cheu kunin bara Chikilari.
22 In him, you also have been built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nanya me anun wang iwa kẹmunu liigowe nanya kiti lisosin Kutellẹ nanya nfip me.
