Ephesians 2
1 And you, when you were 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 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)
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 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:
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, (who is rich in mercy, ) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí í ṣe ọlọ́rọ̀ ni àánú, nítorí ìfẹ́ ńlá rẹ̀ tí ó fi fẹ́ wa,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved, )
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 hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through 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 shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty 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 by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;
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 of works, that no man may glory.
kì í ṣe nípa àwọn iṣẹ́, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má ba à ṣògo.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath 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 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;
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 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.
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, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of 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 hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
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 Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make 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 to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.
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 preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that 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 by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father.
Nítorí nípa rẹ̀ ni àwa méjèèjì ti ni àǹfààní sọ́dọ̀ baba nípa Ẹ̀mí kan.
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics 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 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief 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, being framed together, groweth up into an 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 you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.
Nínú rẹ̀ ni a ń gbé ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú ró pẹ̀lú fún ibùjókòó Ọlọ́run nínú Ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
