Ephesians 2
1 And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins,
O na inyuĩ-rĩ, mwarĩ akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũremi wanyu na mehia manyu,
2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: (aiōn g165)
marĩa mwatũũraga thĩinĩ wamo rĩrĩa mwarũmagĩrĩra mĩthiĩre ya thĩ ĩno na mĩthiĩre ya mwathi wa ũthamaki wa rĩera-inĩ, o roho ũrĩa ũraruta wĩra rĩu thĩinĩ wa arĩa mataathĩkagĩra Ngai. (aiōn g165)
3 In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:
O na ithuĩ ithuothe-rĩ, kũrĩ hĩndĩ twatũũranagia nao, twaathagwo nĩ thuti cia mĩĩrĩ iitũ, na tũkarũmagĩrĩra merirĩria na maũndũ marĩa meciiragio nĩ ngoro. O ta acio angĩ-rĩ, ha ũhoro wa kĩĩmerera-rĩ, twatũũire tũrĩ a kũrakarĩrwo.
4 But God, (who is rich in mercy, ) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,
No tondũ wa wendo wake mũnene harĩ ithuĩ, Ngai, o we ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha nyingĩ,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved, )
nĩatũmire tũgĩe na muoyo hamwe na Kristũ o rĩrĩa twarĩ akuũ nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maitũ tondũ nĩ wega wa Ngai watũmire mũhonokio.
6 And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.
Nake Ngai agĩtũriũkanĩria hamwe na Kristũ na agĩtũikaria thĩ hamwe nake kũu igũrũ tũrĩ thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ.
7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
Eekire ũguo nĩgeetha matukũ marĩa magooka onanie kũrĩ ithuĩ wega wake mũingĩ ũrĩa ũtangĩgereka kũrĩ ithuĩ, nĩ ũrĩa atũire atũtugaga thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ. (aiōn g165)
8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;
Nĩ ũndũ nĩ wega wa Ngai watũmire mũhonokio nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia, naguo ũndũ ũcio nduoimanire na inyuĩ ene, no nĩ kĩheo kĩa Ngai,
9 Not of works, that no man may glory.
na ti ũndũ wa mawĩra marĩa mwanaruta, nĩgeetha gũtikagĩe na mũndũ o na ũmwe ũkwĩgooca.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.
Nĩgũkorwo ithuĩ tũrĩ wĩra wa moko ma Ngai, tũmbĩĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ nĩguo twĩkage ciĩko njega iria irutaga wĩra mwega, ũrĩa Ngai aahaarĩirie o mbere nĩ ũndũ witũ nĩguo tũtũũre tũciĩkaga.
11 For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands;
Hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, ririkanai atĩ tene inyuĩ arĩa mũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na ũndũ wa gũciarwo, o inyuĩ mwĩtagwo “andũ arĩa mataruaga” nĩ arĩa meĩĩtaga “andũ arĩa maruaga” (kũrua kũu no ũndũ wĩkĩtwo mwĩrĩ na moko ma andũ),
12 That you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this world.
ririkanai atĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo mwatũũrĩte mwamũranĩtio na Kristũ, mwarĩ ageni na mũtiarĩ a gĩkundi kĩa andũ a Isiraeli na ha ũhoro wa irĩkanĩro iria Ngai eeranĩire, inyuĩ mũtiarĩ a ho. Mwatũũrĩte gũkũ thĩ mũtarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro na mũtarĩ na Ngai.
13 But now in Christ Jesus, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
No rĩu, thĩinĩ wa Kristũ Jesũ, inyuĩ arĩa hĩndĩ ĩmwe mwarĩ kũraya, rĩu nĩmũreharehetwo hakuhĩ nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ya Kristũ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩwe thayũ witũ, o we watũmire ithuĩ twarĩ eerĩ tũtuĩke ũmwe, na agĩtharia rũirigo rwa rũmena rũrĩa rwatũgayanĩtie,
15 Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
nĩ ũndũ nĩaniinire watho hamwe na maathani maguo, o na irĩra ciaguo, na ũndũ wa kũruta mwĩrĩ wake. Agĩgĩĩka ũguo nĩgeetha ombe thĩinĩ wake mwene mũndũ ũmwe mwerũ kuuma harĩ acio eerĩ, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũtũme kũgĩe thayũ,
16 And might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
na nĩgeetha thĩinĩ wa mwĩrĩ ũcio ũmwe, amaiguithanie na Ngai na ũndũ wa mũtharaba, ũrĩa aahũthĩrire kũniina rũmena rwao.
17 And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.
Kristũ ookire akĩmũhunjĩria thayũ inyuĩ arĩa mwarĩ kũraya, o na thayũ kũrĩ arĩa maarĩ hakuhĩ.
18 For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.
Na thĩinĩ wake ithuĩ a iruka icio cierĩ nĩtũkinyaga kũrĩ Ithe witũ na ũndũ wa Roho o ro ũmwe.
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God,
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, rĩu inyuĩ mũtirĩ ageni na agendi rĩngĩ, no nĩmũtuĩkĩte ene bũrũri hamwe na andũ a Ngai, na mũgatuĩka andũ a nyũmba ya Ngai,
20 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone:
mũgagĩakwo igũrũ rĩa mũthingi wa atũmwo na anabii, nake Kristũ Jesũ we mwene agakorwo nĩwe ihiga rĩrĩa inene rĩa koine.
21 In whom all the building, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.
Thĩinĩ wake mwako wothe nĩũnyiitanĩte, na ũgakĩneneha o nginya ũgatuĩka hekarũ theru thĩinĩ wa Mwathani.
22 In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.
Na nĩ thĩinĩ wake o na inyuĩ mũraakwo hamwe nĩguo mũtuĩke gĩikaro gĩa gũikarwo nĩ Ngai na ũndũ wa Roho wake.
