Ephesians 2
1 and you, being dead in your offences and sins —
Ní ti ẹ̀yin, ẹ̀yin ni ó sì ti sọ di ààyè, nígbà ti ẹ̀yin ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá àti àwọn ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín,
2 in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: (aiōn g165)
nínú èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti gbé rí, àní bí ìlànà ti ayé yìí, gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláṣẹ agbára ojú ọ̀run, ẹ̀mí tí n ṣiṣẹ́ ni ìsinsin yìí nínú àwọn ọmọ aláìgbọ́ràn. (aiōn g165)
3 among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:
Nínú àwọn ẹni tí gbogbo wa pẹ̀lú ti wà rí nínú ìfẹ́kúfẹ̀ẹ́ ara wa, a ń mú ìfẹ́ ara àti ti inú ṣẹ, àti nípa ìṣẹ̀dá àwa sì ti jẹ́ ọmọ ìbínú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ìyókù pẹ̀lú.
4 but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí í ṣe ọlọ́rọ̀ ni àánú, nítorí ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó fi fẹ́ wa,
5 (we too being dead in offences, ) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace, )
nígbà tí àwa tilẹ̀ ti kú nítorí ìrékọjá wa, ó sọ wá di ààyè pẹ̀lú Kristi, oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ni a ti fi gbà yín là.
6 and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
Ọlọ́run sì ti jí wa dìde pẹ̀lú Kristi, ó sì ti mú wa jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọ̀run nínú Kristi Jesu.
7 that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Pé ni gbogbo ìgbà tí ń bọ̀ kí ó bà á lè fi ọ̀rọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀ tí o pọ̀ rékọjá hàn fún wa nínú ìṣeun rẹ̀ sì wà nínú Kristi Jesu. (aiōn g165)
8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:
Nítorí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ ní a fi gbà yín là nípa ìgbàgbọ́. Èyí kì í ṣe nípa agbára ẹ̀yin fúnra yín: ẹ̀bùn Ọlọ́run ni,
9 not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.
kì í ṣe nípa àwọn iṣẹ́, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ba à ṣògo.
10 For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.
Nítorí àwa ni iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí a ti dá nínú Kristi Jesu fún àwọn iṣẹ́ rere, èyí tí Ọlọ́run ti pèsè tẹ́lẹ̀, fún wa láti ṣe.
11 Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;
Nítorí náà ẹ rántí pé, nígbà àtijọ́ rí, ẹ̀yin tí ẹ ti jẹ́ Kèfèrí nípa ti ìbí, tí àwọn tí a ń pè ní “aláìkọlà” láti ọwọ́ àwọn tí ń pe ara wọn “akọlà” (èyí ti a fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe sí ni ní ara).
12 that ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Ẹ rántí pé ni àkókò náà ẹ̀yin wà láìní Kristi, ẹ jẹ́ àjèjì sí Israẹli, àti àjèjì sí àwọn májẹ̀mú ìlérí náà, láìní ìrètí, àti láìní Ọlọ́run ni ayé.
13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí nínú Kristi Jesu ẹ̀yin tí ó ti jìnà réré nígbà àtijọ́ rí ni a mú súnmọ́ tòsí, nípa ẹ̀jẹ̀ Kristi.
14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,
Nítorí òun ni àlàáfíà wa, ẹni tí o ti ṣe méjèèjì ni ọ̀kan, tí ó sì ti wó ògiri ìkélé ti ìkórìíra èyí tí ń bẹ láàrín yín.
15 having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
Ó sì ti fi òpin sí ọ̀tá náà nínú ara rẹ̀, àní sí òfin àti àṣẹ wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ń bẹ nínú ìlànà, kí ó lè sọ àwọn méjèèjì di ẹni tuntun kan nínú ara rẹ̀, kí ó sì ṣe ìlàjà
16 and might reconcile both in one body to God by the cross, having by it slain the enmity;
àti kí ó lè mú àwọn méjèèjì bá Ọlọ́run làjà nínú ara kan nípa àgbélébùú; nípa èyí tí yóò fi pa ìṣọ̀tá náà run.
17 and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.
Ó sì ti wá, ó sì ti wàásù àlàáfíà fún ẹ̀yin tí o jìnnà réré, àti àlàáfíà fún àwọn tí o súnmọ́ tòsí.
18 For through him we have both access by one Spirit to the Father.
Nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni àwa méjèèjì ti ni àǹfààní sọ́dọ̀ baba nípa Ẹ̀mí kan.
19 So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà ẹ̀yin kì í ṣe àlejò àti àjèjì mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àjùmọ̀jogún ọmọ ìbílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́, àti àwọn ará ilé Ọlọ́run;
20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,
a sì ń gbé yín ró lórí ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn wòlíì, pẹ̀lú Jesu Kristi fúnra rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí pàtàkì òkúta igun ilé.
21 in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;
Nínú rẹ ni gbogbo ilé náà, tí a ń kọ wà papọ̀ ṣọ̀kan tí ó sì ń dàgbàsókè láti di tẹmpili mímọ́ kan nínú Olúwa.
22 in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
Nínú rẹ̀ ni a ń gbé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ró pẹ̀lú fún ibùjókòó Ọlọ́run nínú Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
